ZicoSterland2 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: To be fair I think Chansiri pretty much confirmed we would be under an embargo in January with that club statement urgent us to sign up for Club 1867. But I agree an updated statement wouldn’t go amiss. Particularly considering Bruce said in May that as far as he was aware we wouldn’t be under an embargo. The communication from the club is poor and has been for awhile in my view. At the end of the day leading a club into successive transfer window embargo’s is not great. People can moan about FFP but they are the rules and other clubs have managed to avoid sanctions by having a sensible recruitment strategy which involves selling players. I’d hope our owner will take note of this and learn but whispers coming out about high player valuations suggests he hasn’t. Hopefully I’ll be proved wrong in the next couple of weeks. Going into the new season with the 6 strikers we have is bonkers. Does anyone actually want to buy any of our players ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a lot of players here on good money. But I do believe we do have saleable assets - Forestieri, Joao, Reach and Bannan would all attract interest from other clubs.

andytrig Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Feeling pessimistic today so fully expecting something along the lines of: The club is pleased to announce that it is no longer under a soft embago with the EFL, it has however now under a full transfer embargo.

Cabbage heed doing the dirty on us has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works though. I’m more concerned about the recruitment than the coaching at this stage as the transfer window closes earlier and we have a few gaps in the squad that need filling, and no idea who, if anyone, is in charge of transfers. The fat prícks have really done a number on us... the Wednesday way I suppose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are operating under and embargo and need to trim your squad, sometimes you might have to take a bit less than what you want. Personally believe on paper Zohore has a better record than Joao, has a promotion to his name and played in the Premier League last season. If someone came in for Joao at 4m I'd take it. We've made a profit on him and it is money coming into the club which can be used to help with FFP or to improve the overall squad.

gurujuan Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I’m not overly concerned We can’t really complain that the process is dragging on, when we set the process back a couple of months, by the late filing of our accounts As for where we stand, apart from the injection of the ground sale monies, plus any compensation for Mr Potato head, we’ve also shaved a few million off the wages bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We've signed 3 players and we only have a couple of other holes in the team which can be covered with loans. Why do we care about embargo, we don't need to spend money for the sake of it, that's how we got under the embargo in the first place. I get it would be nice to sign hector, but if we can't afford him, then we can't, loan someone and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
