If I was the accountant I'd see it this way .....

The club should have a total annual budget and also likely a total medium term budget over say 2-5 years. 

The budgets should have separate cost centres covering all the different types of income and expenditure. So player wages is likely one cost centre, depreciation will be another, season ticket income another etc. 

So the owners and managers should set up budgets that are realistic and reflect what they want to do. They will decide what should be spent on player wages. What needs to be charged as depreciation is a little more deterministic since it's a calculation based on accounting standards. 

Coming to your question the respective budgets are separate but ..... The total budget for the club reflects the overall financial targets. At the extremes that is influenced by the needs to remain solvent and trading whilst also complying with the financial fair play rules etc. 

Hence real life comes in to play. Most obviously if season ticket sales / attendances are significantly different than expected that should impact the wages budget. If attendances are down 2k then all the club's expenditure budgets are challenged and a reduction in the budget for player wages should be expected. Otherwise the club will sooner or later run into significant financial trouble. We've been there before! Very bad. 

 

I separated the player staff budget because - as far as I know - it's the only budget to have to conform to the Profit and Sustainability rules, under FFP? I realize that, if the Club's income is more / less than they anticipated, there would need to be some juggling. or there would be a bit more cash available...but, largely, it's the players' transfer fees and Salaries that have  to be more closely monitored, so they don't fall foul of FFP?

That’s the problem with Flitcroft- all he does is talk

Anyone still outside the Vale with any live pictures?

[Santa]

What a football club.

We are as far out as 9/1 for relegation.

Bookies are never wrong! 

.... we hope.

 

[Powerline]

Heading to bed. If I wake up tomorrow and see we actually haven’t signed a forward, we deserve to be relegated.

Sorry.... I've always thought it a bit cold or too wet to park myself up at Vale Park at 11.00+  Perhap they should have the deadline at 3.00pm.....😃😃

You can shove your season ticket renewal up your arse! 
 

Players sold left, right and centre and all we do is replace them with loans. 
 

A joke of a club. Joke of a chairwoman!

Just go with the <ovf censored> plan lads. Whatever flitcrofst has up his arse it might just work. He's been keeping it safe for last 2 or 3 years.

Lights are off.

If they've ballsed this and we're really sitting 20th with only Loft and Wilson up top, then goodness gracious me. It's much worst than I thought.
