Re: UPDATED- EFL Clubs under transfer embargoes - City included

I imagine it will be relating to fees for Moore, or Sala. I doubt we'd be an embargo for any fees in the last few weeks.

Time for the club to issue a statement.

I tend not bash the club at every opportunity as I have no idea how a football club is run but they keep saying it is minor technicalities surely if they are minor they can avoid them - I can't imagine it is healthy being on the EFL radar let alone trying to attract new players as and when any ban is lifted?

We got enough goodies in the squad with slim line Tomlin back ,keep hold of Moore, Collins looks a decent forward back up .

The younger lads like Colwill ,Harris ,Bagan etc etc .

Bring on those promising youngsters I say .

Yes but when was this published ?
Has it been superseded?
It’s really not clear.

counterpoint:
We weren't good enough last season and our squad is objectively worse now.

the page clearly states they've only started publishing them since June 2021 , so it is definitely recent.

The reported transfer fee for Moore was less than £2m.

It’d be very naive to assume Championship clubs would be in the habit of paying. Seven and eight figure transfer fees off in one go. Look at how we accepted Arsenal’s smaller but paid up front fee for Ramsey - that was clearly an unusual type of offer.

Polite Counterpoint 2 :
Tomlin fitter
Moore full season behind him
Crowds back
Colwill ,Harris ,Bagan further developed
MM first close season preparation

I agree, so if we're defaulting on the Moore transfer fee then it's probably a payment of less than £1m, which seems unlikely, unless we're completely skint.

Re: UPDATED- EFL Clubs under transfer embargoes - City included

Two links quoted here.
One in April which says it’s an accounting disparity arising from Covid regulations, and that it won’t actually effect Ccfc. The other up to date link doesn’t mention ccfc in the list.

Hard to imagine that the club would be silent , so are we getting the wrong end of the stick ?

The accounting situation was resolved in May/June when up to date accounts were submitted and we were removed from the previous embargo list. This is obviously a separate transfer issue but it is odd that City were not mentioned as being on the list in the BBC News report a few days ago and then mysteriously appeared yesterday. Indicates that if it is correct that the club were probably not aware it was going to happen. No doubt a statement will follow soon. I think it is naive that the club should be expected to notify the fans of everything that is happening ‘behind the scenes’.

Agreed, a lot of people were critical of that survey from a few months ago which placed City as among the worst of the ninety two when it came to things like customer care and keeping fans abreast of developments at the club. The rating did seem harsh, but things like this and the lack of access regarding season ticket renewal for supporters (especially those without access to a computer) makes you think they may have had a point.

The club needs to say something, and WalesOnline haven't posted anything either. It's really odd and you'd think a good story for WOL!

Not good news, and it has nothing to do with FFP. Club needs to come out and say something but if it isn't to do with Sala, it means Tan isn't continuing to sort the club and we are a) skint, and b) ****ed.

Someone should ask Paul Abbandonato what is going on.
