Fox 4 Life Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March 1 minute ago, Ian Nacho said: Does this stop is renewing contracts? Apparently not but the wording is a bit grey - Can Clubs offer new contracts to players whilst under Embargo? Yes, Clubs can offer new contracts to existing players, though this will be dependent upon the circumstances of the individual Club and will be determined by the League.

Popular Post Number 6 Posted 22 March Popular Post Share Posted 22 March This is a performative punishment isn't it? They couldn't force their business plan on us so trying to enforce one this way.

copunk Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March Genuine question, it appears we are going all out to fight against this and I very much doubt the club would make a statement like this public unless they believe we have some degree of innocence But is there any chance this could get worse then a points deduction? Such a demoted to league 1 or worse? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players know they won’t be here next season now, it’s like last season over again but somehow worse. Say we go up. We can’t sign anyone, have to sell everyone and have a points deduction. This public legal mud chucking is going to get wild!! It is an EFL transfer embargo, if we go up it's null and void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though again, not sure if we fall outside of jurisdiction should we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March Just now, Hales said: So with abdul....does that mean we cant now permanently sign him or we can because he is here already? Possibly still can. Similar happened with Chelsea still making Kovacics loan permanent while on a ban, but that was a UEFA one around poaching u18s. This is an EFL one so I guess it depends on whether we go up or not? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally can only sign Fatawu if we go up, he won't sign for us if we don't go up It's only the EFL that have put this embargo on us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the opposite. The prem are telling the EFL to come at us and seeing as they are pushing for their new deal the EFL will do anything they say. They want to squeeze us as hard as possible. It’s outrageous that they want you to comply with financial terms by blocking activity in the transfer window.

Chico1958 Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March (edited) I'm more concerned how this will affect the players. In fact I already think it's affecting them and Enzo and has been since we couldn't get Sensi through the door.

jayfox26 Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March 2 minutes ago, westernpark said: The only thing for me is that the allowed losses should be adjusted re inflation of transfer fees and wages. If we go down that route, we will never take responsibility for our own failings. It’s a very difficult position because of course it’d be good to stick it to the big boys. The current rules prevent anyone outside the big 6 from being able to compete. Whilst I feel that wages and transfer fees do need to come down massively as football has become a shambles in terms of money, it needs to be done in a fair way and not a way that only suits the clubs that have large revenue. I'm not suggesting that we should be able to have the same wage bill or pay the same transfer fees as the big clubs but we have to be able to compete. Yes we've fcked up with our recruitment and the large contracts given out but nobody can say that we haven't made an effort to correct our financial issues, given we only signed Faes and sold Fofana for a huge fee in summer 22. We probably went a bit mad last summer signing Winks, Coady etc but given the money made from selling Barnes and maddison, I can't see how we would have been at a loss in terms of transfer fees. The wage bill has also massively reduced when we lost Kasper, Youri etc but of course there is some way to go and we do still have deadwood like Soumare etc on big contracts that we need to try and shift.

We can sign Abdul. Embargo is on new registrations.
