    So when will a transfer embargo be imposed

    on Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, Brighton and co in a failed attempt to buy promotion last season?

    Probably when they are found to have broken the Financial Fair Play rules, but that's just a guess.

    I had a look at Derbys accounts last night. Last season is obviously not available, but their losses the seasons before weren't that big. Their turnover was just over average for the Championship - about £21m-10k extra fans only accounts for about £2-£3m of turnover, but their wage bill was £21m.
    Loss was£10m

    I'd expect both wages and losses would have been much higher last year, they have to be getting close now.

    Brighton similar for 14/15

    T/o £23m, Wages £19m, loss £7m

    Obviously more complicated than this and again surely much increased costs last year, but the rules have changed so they can gamble for a season or 2 - not sure when the change takes affect.

    The big news here is that Lawnmower was casually examining Derby's accounts, just in his spare time.

    😄 I was checking it out as we'd been discussing something similar at the Travel Group Meeting earlier this week and so I wanted to find out for myself

    Thanks for the info. Does the embargo ever stop anyone signing players during the summer window or does it just affect January like ours?
