Evaluating transfer inflation methods
I'm considering methods to estimate inflation from around £15 million in 1996 to about £30 million-£35 million in 2025. UK CPI seems to have doubled during that time, which suggests this conversion is reasonable. The £2.25 billion claim likely uses a "football inflation" method, such as those from the Transfer Index or Transfer Price Index. There are various techniques, including those from CIES Football Observatory and others, suggesting much higher numbers. Some reports also connect Alan Shearer’s transfer value to £222 million today.Outlining next steps for calculations
I see there's no need for the planning tool right now; I can provide options for the next steps directly. First, I can summarize that the value is based on "transfer inflation" rather than CPI, suggesting financial figures around £30 million-£35 million according to CPI but possibly affected by transfer market inflation in the £180 million-£240 million range. If the user needs, I can explain various algorithms or verify original sources. Also, I can ask whether they want citations for this information linked to research from groups like CIES.Clarifying user requests
Given the developer constraints, I should respond to the user's request succinctly. I'll first mention Shearer's 1996 world-record fee of £15 million and explain that the £2.25 billion estimate relates to "football inflation," while the CPI would be around £30 million-£35 million. The conclusion should be that we see this as a contemporary price reflecting "replacement cost/market status" instead of just inflation. Finally, I can offer to show specific calculations or find links to the original report for further details.
这条说法是在用“足球通胀”（转会市场通胀），不是按居民物价通胀算的。
- 背景：阿兰·希勒1996年从布莱克本转会纽卡，创当时世界纪录的1500万英镑。
- 若按英国CPI折算到今天，约仅3千万出头（量级×2左右），远达不到2亿级。
- 2.25亿英镑这种数，通常来自“转会通胀”模型（如以联赛总转会支出、工资或俱乐部总收入的增长倍数来换算，或用CIES/Transfer Price Index一类的方法），它衡量的是在当今市场你要买到“当年那个级别的希勒”大概要花多少钱。
- 作为“替代成本/市场地位”的估值，2亿+是有模型能得出的；作为严格的通胀换算或必然成交价，则不等同。
需要我：
- 去找并核对这家“足球财经机构”的原始报告/来源？
- 按不同口径（CPI、英超收入、总转会支出、工资）给你做一张对照表看看各自得到多少？
