Ken Tram Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 PS. Just because I know that some people appreciate it when I state the blooming obvious ... ... I am fishing for some "well done dear" compliments! In the meantime, I am going to pretend that it was my post, that led to the appeal for the Chorley-players to be removed from the count of players in "professional standing". After all, in my world of daydreams, the Chorley-match players were included in the embargo before I wrote my post - and now, one week later, they are not - so it must be true! PPS. I do aspire to live in the real world again, one day. archram, Carl Sagan and jono 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Kicks Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Does anyone know if the embargo stopped us offering new contracts to players while they were still under a previous contract? If not why did we just let their contacts expire knowing we'd be in a crisis the following season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, yes - That's why the contract offered to Marriott wasn't approved by the EFL DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Earnshaws Workrate Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Best thing we can do is lose a few games. Win any of the first 5 and the EFL embargo will never be lifted ? Ken Tram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hopefully HMRC are paid now as per Chris Coles tweet about it being the end of the week...that will change the embargo type and remove some restrictions Ken Tram and r_wilcockson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have imagined it as can't find any sources, but i thought that was at least part of the reason it was blocked.

If the latter knowing us we will have paid by cheque and put wrong HMRC reference on to spend months wrangling with them to credit this to our account.

Because if we capitulate in the discussions with the EFL about accounts, it might lead to a points deduction now and in future seasons. Yes like you I’m certainly worried that if we don’t sort everything soon, trialists will find other options Carl Sagan and RoyMac5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
