> With a day to go and Newcastle frantic about breaching, Forest threw Vlachodimos into the mix; they would only take Anderson if the goalkeeper moved in the opposite direction. “We had a gun to our heads,” a source says. The way PSR is calculated, the entire sum received for Anderson would be booked as profit in the 2023-24 accounts, whereas Vlachodimos’ fee would be amortised — or spread — over his contract. Newcastle felt they had no choice but to agree.
TLDR: We got Anderson for £15m plus Vlachodimos, regardless of what the official figures are (£35m and £20m). Newcastle were desperate, we played our hand really, really well.
