Didn’t I read that the Struijk sale went on to last season’s figures so doesn’t count towards SCR this year?

TBH, I don't know. 30th of June wasn't it? So yes wouldn't count toward this years unless we could roll it over.

It could be though that money can be used for this accounting period of course

I think it goes on the books for this accounting period but doesn’t contribute to our PCR revenue for 26/27 season.

Means in effect our net spend is £68.5m.

For some reason reactions aren't available here so

Pascal Struijk's transfer fee was officially allocated to the previous Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) accounting window ending June 30, 2026, but the resulting revenue boost increases total revenue, which indirectly expands your spending capacity under the new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) limits for the 2026-27 season.How the Sale Relates to SCRPSR vs. SCR: Leeds United used the June 30 sale to ensure compliance with the old three-year PSR profit/loss limits.

Revenue Calculation: Under the new Premier League Financial Rules Explained, the SCR system caps total squad spending—including wages, agent fees, and amortised transfer costs—to a percentage of a club's total revenue (set at an 85% baseline)

.The Financial Impact: While player sales are not direct deductions in the ratio calculation itself, the cash and revenue generated from selling Struijk raise the overall revenue ceiling, giving the club a higher absolute monetary cap to spend on incoming amortised squad costs.

[Carrick Dave]

Where did that come from SH?

I’m not sure how a sale in one accounting period to allow us to comply with PSR can also boost our revenue in the next accounting period, especially as incoming sales revenue under PCR is amortised over 3 seasons.
