Across the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, Bournemouth spent £271.1m on new players and recouped just £5.1m in player sales, a net spend of £266m. That was the fifth-highest net transfer spend in English football over those two years.
Though the club’s net spend has tumbled this season following the sale of England striker Dominic Solanke to Tottenham last summer, it’s hard to argue they haven’t gained a sporting advantage via the loan write-off.
Without it, they would not have been able to invest so heavily in new players — and indeed would have breached PSR and had to deal with the attendant troubles that brings.
But Bournemouth broke no rules. Indeed, the Premier League was happy with the treatment applied in this instance. |  | | |  |

The loan to Maxim Demin, Bournemouth's former chairman, was allowed to be written off as debt in the 2022-23 season. The remaining liability of £71.4 million was fully discharged after Turquoise Bidco bought the club, which then provided a £89.8 million shareholder loan to repay A. FC. B. Enterprises, according to The New York Times. This write-off was recorded as an exceptional gain in Bournemouth's accounts. |  |
