• Amortisation charge (this year)£6.8m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£25m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£584k

In football accounting, "intangible assets" = player registrations. Amortisation is the contract cost spread over the years remaining.

• Pension contributions£289k
• Key management pay (directors)£238k
