Ghost of Clough

Quite a few more than 13.

Marshall, Roos, Byrne, Forsyth, Buchanan, McDonald, Ebosele, Bielik, Shinnie, Bird, Knight, Sibley, Watson, Lawrence, Jozwiak, Kazim, Stretton (plus Davies and possibly Wisdom and Waghorn)
U23s (17)
Bardell, Grewal-Pollard, JBrown, Cashin, Solomon, Dixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Aghatise, Clarke, Matthews, Perez de Gracia, Wilson, SThompson, Plange, Duncan, Cybulski
U18s (20)
Roberts, Randle, Evans, Brailsford, Williams, Maloney, Rutt, Christie, Ibrahim, Sebagabo, Moore, Robinson, Fapetu, Aideyan, Ryan, Borkovic, Kelly, Eze, Nicholas-Davies, Dixon

Yeah, only 5 keepers between the 3 teams... massive contrast with last season when we had 5 in the U23 squad and another 3 'first team' keepers out on loan

Looks too slim to be Waggy.
Marcel Hilßner?

Its not just about whether they were better than Wilson (who?!), we've signed plenty of players that were better than our U23s! Doesn't mean I'd want to sign them. Plenty of time yet.

It allowed us to spend more, but didn't originally factor in a stadium sale. The profit from that should mean we sneak inside the limits

It's nice of the media team to share pictures of the entire team ?

Makes the decision to allow Foster to leave even worse

maybe but sometimes the obvious answer can be correct?  The lack of contract renewals is also worrying.  You will recall I did a thread on embargoes based on the DC1 report and I think we have been hamstrung by this for a long time (not itk so just guesswork)

I can't help but think there's more at play in the Marriott situation.

Ah, I get you now. I interpreted it to mean we're more likely to lose one of those games in isolation.

And of course it's not really straight pass/fail, it's how much you fail by. Given the stadium sale, it's unlikely we're failing by untold millions of overspending, so any points deductions that might arise *should* be relatively minor.

it is an assumption, which is supported by the Marriott problems I suppose

Us winning the stadium part helps immeasurable. Well, measurably I suppose seeing as the figures are known.

We still don't know *for sure* the exact reasons we are under an embargo. We know it's at least in part due to the 2019 and 2020 accounts not being submitted yet. We have no idea if it's also related to the EFL charges, and the 3 sets we need to re-submit.  We know for sure that the embargo relating to the charges was dropped when we were cleared originally and I haven't seen any mention of it starting again since the EFL appeal victory or the punishment decision.  It may well be that we can now submit the 2019/2020 sets with the 'correct' amortisation model and have the embargo lifted. We can then sit on the 2016/17/18 sets until the last minute.
