How does a club that's been under an embargo, hence not been spending money, how are we in a position where we are having to watch the pennies? I know we gave a fee for Turnbull and I expect for some of the loans, I just can't understand after a period of literally spending zero we have to wait and hear last minute what we can spend.

Also, I spoke to a City fan in work (never met him before in my life) who said we've had £20mil for Sala? this surely isn't true?
I don't think we are currently under any embargo/restrictions, but from what the OP said, there's a new body that has been scrutinizing clubs' accounts - up to end of December, and they took until late in January to confirm we were OK..
