Very sorry to say this but it’s down to the kids. Go on then, I'll bite. Who's told you this then? And the 'big names' - KW/FF/BB?? They'll be fooookin' up roar if those lads get sold, on top of the recent ticket price and membership price hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Birmingham are under an embargo now. They apparently were under a "soft embargo" whatever that may be untilt hey announced a signing a week or two back and the football league then put them under a full embargo. I suspect we may be under a soft embargo too but no idea what that would entail, maybe requiring approval before making a contract offer or transfer offer or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) So the window will close and there will be no signings as expected due to FFP. Thats possibly the worst kept secret, not a journalist scoop. Edited July 27, 2018 by Big Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 is a soft embargo a bit like a semi??? The suggestion of bigger things to come but in the end comes to nothing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mega important we do so. We have a decent quality, if somewhat bloated squad and simply need to add a couple of well thought out loans to it. With Jos at the helm, we shall do well this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cain Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Whenever a club is under a transfer embargo it is all over the press and if we aren’t allowed to by players then the last thing you would do is sell some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I don't think Wednesday are under an embargo, how would you keep it quiet?? But wouldn't surprise me if we find ourselves under one soon. If we are under an embargo soon the people running the club want to take a long hard look at themselves.

lanzaroteowl Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Just a thought Maybe August the 1st is the start of the leagues accounting year And we will have cash to spend as we have avoided going over our limit in the past three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 That QPR thing is a bit misleading, its actually a 17 million fine payable over 10 years and wont be taken into account in future FFP as for the embargo, they can still buy players this window it only comes into affect for the January window 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the club might have mentioned that before selling season tickets, asking for ridiculous membership prices and cat B ticket prices for first home game.

I feel for the fans but the club’s behaviour was outrageous. No idea what happens to us from here. Not least because I don’t know where here is.

southportdc Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 According to the EFL website: Quote 6.5 The Embargo will be effective: 6.5.1 in the case of a Championship Club which is in default of any obligation to provide information in accordance with these Rules, from the date of default until such time as the default is remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of The League; and 6.5.2 in the case of a Championship Club which fails to fulfil the Fair Play Requirement, from 1st January in the relevant Season and will apply until such time as the Club meets the Fair Play Requirement in any subsequent Reporting Period (in accordance with these Rules) or The League grants any application lodged in accordance with Rule 6.6. To me, that reads like 6.5.2 would be relevant to us and the embargo would be in place from January. We bought players in in January, and I don't think we could have surpassed FFP last financial year, so I don't think an embargo would have started yet under those terms. Would expect one from Jan 19 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
