Amortisation spreads a fee across the contract. A £50m signing on a five-year deal is a £10m annual cost before wages and other fees.

Room effect combines squad-cost change and football-income impact. A sale can help twice: lower costs and, if profitable, stronger football income.

Book profit or loss is sale proceeds minus remaining book value and sale costs. Academy sales often have low book value.

Owner equity is shown only for old PSR because the new squad-cost test is linked to football income, not shareholder funding.
