Footnotes
^The deals made both club had a player selling revenue of €950,000 (documented in 2005–06 financial year on Vicenza side), an write-down of €475,000 due to buy back (new price €0 + €475,000 minus €950,000 accounting value), a new acquire cost of €475,000 (€0 + price of retained half) to be amortize in future seasons (2 years for Zanoletti) and lastly VAT, but overall still a "profit" when the transfer is effective (€950,000) and an overall loss (€950,000 minus €950,000 minus VAT, occur in 2005–06 and 2006–07 accounts if the player did not release early in Vicenza side). However Vicenza later chose to release Zanoletti for free and write-down a further €475,000, to make the loss come early and gave up the remaining contractual value, in order to make the overall loss only occur in 2005–06 accounts, despite his true market value as a Serie C1 player was negligible in consideration.
