The reason behind John McGreal's swift departure from Swindon, I wonder.

No wonders about his departure, all down to the legal issues with the owner. That's a club in a major mess.Claret Toni wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 4:22 pmThe reason behind John McGreal's swift departure from Swindon, I wonder.

So if Reading sell that lad to Palace, will that be enough to bring them back into line for profits and sustainability?

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
Hull's an interesting one, did they overspend to gain promotion I wonder.
8 clubs out of 72 isn't a great look for the FL is it.
And you do have to wonder how many more will fall into difficulties before the season commences.
Is it purely the crazy wages they're splashing out, or is a lot of this covid related, and when crowds and incomes return will we see a rapid recovery.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
There's many clubs and leagues worldwide who are financially crippled at the moment, this is where the PL riches should be cherry picking and financially bullying the poor into handing us their best assets. It's a shame we are now poor and in debt too.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
I think this is a real comeuppance for Fleetwood after the actions of their Chairman last year, trying to force League one into a behind closed doors restart so his club could fight for promotion - the costs of that have appeared to come back and haunt him, those who did not restart furloughed their players and staff and kept costs at an absolute minimum.

Derby fans are going into meltdown, especially over Mel's comments about the academy.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
In the wake of COVID with no match day revenues for over a season I'm surprised that there aren't more.
I think I'm right in saying that the EFL is far stricter than the Premier League in terms of losses and wage capping.

Ok this is weird about Derby.
I know this is just me and I haven't really just read that, but it doesn't say they've been offered contracts with no wage agreed and they have to sign it before finding out their wage ?

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
Maybe now the clubs who've run a tight ship will reap the benefits, well those who've indulged in lavish overspending will reap the whirlwind.
Even pre covid many clubs were living way beyond their means, especially in the Championship as they chased the promised land of the PL riches.
Hmm! I'm not sure if the EFL are that much stricter than the PL, FFP rules seem to be readily ignored as far as I can see.
QPR is just one club which immediately spring to my mind, but I've no doubt there's plenty more.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
Bit more clarity
The contracts have been offered to the trialists, wages for new signings are capped at £4500 a week and even if they sign them, the EFL may not approve them, I think.
Derby could end up fielding a team mainly made up of their U23's and younger this weekend.

This explains why Derby are priced as 8/13 for relegation

So under the current embargo, Derby can only sign 4 players, but they're trying to have that increased.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
It's not just Derby that need taking to task, the people in charge of the EFL, that are allowing this to roll on and on, need taking to task. Derby should have had the book thrown at them on more than one occasion, and still come out the **** smelling of roses. How unfair on all the other clubs that have been hit with sanctions.

Re: Eight Football League clubs under transfer embargo
It does seem the EFL take into account the clubs name. Smaller clubs get punished very quickly and harshly. Clubs with a more “prestigious” name cling on and on and on. Then survive what seems irrefutable evidence.

Listening to the radio today and apparently Reading are unable to sack their manager because of the cost involved and it would break the rules of their embargo
They're currently getting sucked into a relegation battle, sitting one spot above the relegation spots, no league wins since November and losing tonight.

I only know as much as you, but he was interviewed, saying the club is entering a new era, and we will be buying this summer. He either has the funds to bail them out or has set out a repayment plan acceptable to the FL you have to assume.
