sage Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Every close season for football supporters is spent waiting for news. Transfers, fixtures, pre season tour etc. This season the wait for news has been somewhat amplified by our extraordinary current position. EFL appeal, points or fine, which season would any punishment relate to and the takeover as well as the usual stuff. Whilst are all impatient to find out about the takeover and transfers, in one aspect of all this, no news is good news. The longer that we have to wait for any possible punishment, the less likely it is that any potential points deduction will apply to the 20/21 season. 48 hours and Topram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the delay is obviously a nightmare for Rooney. So I’d like to hear two things soon - Confirmation that a minted US group has bought us - news that the new owners have done a deal with the EFL jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not allowed to spend money.

Billionaires have an uncanny ability to attract sponsorship as well as investment from other billionaires who can add sponsorship and fan base. Players see more ambition in clubs owned by billionaires so are easier to recruit. And not all useful spending comes within the ffp calculation Edited May 21, 2021 by kevinhectoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Nixon says it’s happening under the radar, unlike many of our set pieces which are often picked up at Jodrell Bank. I think a few more weeks patience is needed, which is a big ask following the incredible season we have just witnessed. I have a good feeling about next season though.

LeedsRam1999 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Am I right in thinking we are still under embargo due to the EFL charge pending? if so, that’s two seasons in a row they have done this during the close season. It’s almost as if they want to relegate us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I thought the embargo is due to the late filing of accounts which is the standard soft punishment for all clubs late with filing. Now, the reason behind the late filing might be the appeal process that took a ridiculous period of time due to Gibson and the EFL prolonging it, but they wouldn’t let those facts worry them with the embargo.

Jimbo Ram Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The sooner this is all sorted the sooner Wazza can start building on all of his success from last year and bring new players in. The delay is not helping us at all, just missing out on potential new signings that we desperately need... jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it will be an older billionaire who grew up watching Roy Macfarland & co who's whole life's work has been aimed at making enough money to right the wrongs done to us to deny us winning the European Cup in the 70s.

That would be me then. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I am still around one billion pounds short of the target that I set myself. I'll let you know as soon as that changes.

I think you're right. From my read of the regs, a transfer embargo is the only sanction that efl management can hand out. Every other sanction has to be determined by the DC, which can be appealed by the club so I reckon we're a few weeks away from concluding the whole process.
