EFL embargo not lifted.

Re: EFL embargo not lifted.

I think there’s still room for some “creative” deals - for example, the Gareth Ainsworth type whereby we took over the contract of a player who did not have long left on his deal and was not going to sign a new one. That could be reported as a free transfer with the “fee” being the money a club makes by no longer having to pay his wages.

What about a free transfer with some very interesting addons further down the line

Wot a shambles. I wonder if Vinny kept the receipt.

Shambles is basically the only word for the season. Even when we pay up we are restricted. (Possibly, apparently)

Honestly don't know why Netflix or prime aren't interested, would be far more interesting than most all or nothing or similar type releases.

At long as we get McGuiness back I'm fine with it

Re: EFL embargo not lifted.

Possibly, but would we have paid what works out at around £7 million just to sign frees and cheap loans? I’m assuming there that we paid the first instalment because we wanted to bring in players this month, but then you’d think that, if we were always going to pay £7 million, we’d have made sure that we did so within the thirty days.

Do you think we were going to Pay 7million and then have money left over to buy players?

I always assumed this window would be loans and maybe frees who have their contract terminated as part of the agreement when we sign them. I don't think we improve upon what we've got without spending north of 2 million per player, i just don't think we have that sort money, especially now.

Free doesn’t mean free though, the better the player, the higher the wages/signing on fee etc, so money will be needed, it’s not a food bank. Warnock was lauded for his ‘free, out of contract’ signings, those players may well have cost more than players we paid a fee for in the long run.

So, what’s the point in paying the first instalment now?

I saw someone mention a possible points deduction if we didn't pay. Not sure how true it is

That would do it I’m sure.

Left back from somewhere somehow is essential!

So they can bring in loans and frees during the window. I'll be surprised if we spend anything over 1 million.

We’re legally obliged to pay our debt to Nantes. If we don’t there will be worse to come than a transfer embargo

I think that's true. If we don't pull our finger out soon someone will pull the rug from underneath us.
