Vacamion Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March Does the transfer embargo include *outgoing* transfers? Can't comply with PSR rules if the Authorities won't allow you raise money through sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechey Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March (edited) 2 minutes ago, Izzy said: I hate all this ‘victim mentality’ from the club and some fans alike. I mean it’s not without justification. This is a punishment being enacted before guilt is determined. The EFL have tried to hammer LCFC because they suspect the club will fail P&S at the end of this current season. This punishment does seem premature, which is exactly what the club said. Edited 22 March by Beechey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_77 Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March (edited) 14 minutes ago, Zear0 said: Christ that statement is the pits. Zero accountability from the club to acknowledge they've done anything wrong and a fan base who applauded a team off the pitch for getting relegated. Pathetic state of affairs. Back to YouTube and 15/16 for me before I became indifferent to this shambles. I’m sorry but there isn’t a single club on the planet that would do that in at this point in the process, especially after the EFL just lost the last case.

Qwerty Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March 1 minute ago, Dahnsouff said: Think it is more a case of we are guilty, but they have overlooked the fact the accountancy period is not over and we could still sell before it closes to solve the issue? It’s almost like they’re backing us into a corner, forcing us to breach P&S. It’s likely we were planning to sell players in June so that by the end of the month we’d come closer to balancing the books. But with a transfer embargo hanging over us, it would be risky to sell, knowing that we couldn’t sign anyone. So we potentially end up keeping players, thereby breaching P&S.

You won't find a bigger critic of the club than me for the past few years and I like a few others were calling it out when things were all smiles on the surface with Brendan. That doesn't mean you can't see the complete injustice in the way the rules target a select few who dare to challenge the elite. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain it’s true, that is just how I read it. It would hamstring us as selling to meet the requirements would mean selling at discount prices. We can sign free agents and get loans I think someone said, so it’s not the end of the world.(just as we know it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 March Share Posted 22 March I’m sure this is going to hit many other clubs when they produce their financial reports next December time, but it does again show how badly we’ve been run for too long. This is why I balked at hearing that players such as Amartey were allegedly earning 60k per week. Bertrand 75k per week etc etc. Really really average footballers (or crocks) who had been signed or re-signed by the club on stupid money. Makes me wonder how much we are paying Soutter and Faes for instance. Since the title winning campaign, something has gone drastically awry at LCFC. Possibly linked to Vichai’s sad death. I know we are mounting a legal challenge but it looks like it’ll be futile this time. And to go up and start a Premiership campaign on minus points would be farcical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it plays into our hands that the EFL are so keen to punish without process. The EFL will have to explain this lack of fairness as part of the legal challenge, they look like idiots. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s posturing but it’s justifiable imo. Ordinarily the club and the efl would be talking about the situation, giving their budgets and intentions. But it’s clear we aren’t on speaking terms ! 12 minutes ago, Vacamion said: Does the transfer embargo include *outgoing* transfers?

Fully agree here, even if we have done wrong. Either one of the leagues will likely get us in the end but we’re absolutely right to push back, especially at the EFL, who we’ve already beaten once. Now it looks like they are trying stunts to force us into PSR failure after they’ve already been told that a relevant rule does not apply to us.

The club are culpable for a lot but we’re being pursued by two demonstrably corrupt leagues at the same time. Burn it all down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL wouldn’t be charging us without very good reason to do so. Don’t forget we’ve not seen the accounts yet - doesn’t mean the PL and EFL haven’t. The EFL aren’t stupid enough to levy an embargo without a reason. Now technically Leicester may be right - while they don’t appear to be contesting the breach, they are contesting the timing. in the end it doesn’t really matter - A huge fallout is coming for a club that has financially mismanaged itself on an epic scale. Leicester can legally delay the inevitable - but they won’t stop it. They know they are in a huge mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
