Transfer Embargo

Yes, noticed his lack of emotion after scoring.

 

He was the same last season.

Before and after the hostage video.

 

Some players like to thump their chests, kiss the badge and roar to the crowd when they score. Others just turn and receive the congratulations from their team mates.

I personally, don’t care as long as they stick it in the net.

I get the frustration if a player isn’t putting in the effort, but plenty of players last season didn’t track a player or closed someone down. It only seems to be Kamara that gets picked up for it though.

 

And on a number of occasions he very specifically did track back and saved us goals.

 

That made me laugh.

 

Looks like we’ve missed out wba bound

 

Suspect it's the same as with Jones and McLoughlin - we need to sell a few and it's going to have to involve selling some decent assets that we'd rather not do in an ideal world.

 

If I was Cooper, I’d be visibly (even if performatively) badgering the Club and the EFL for what they know and reasons behind the hold up.

Cooper might well be active behind the scenes for all we know, but for all we can see, he just passively accepts the Club’s word nothing has happened yet – yet the Club sat on the original decision against them back in July and it was the media who broke the story.

I think this would be an easy win for Cooper to visibly ask questions and in terms of expectations, it's from the 101 manual of journalism.

 

I wonder if the club could consider legal action against the EFL regarding the appeal. I know some think the club already know the outcome and are hiding it and I can understand that view but the EFL would announce it with or without us announcing it too.

The appeal was lodged in the first week of July and the hearing was exactly a week ago. I’m not saying the club are victims in this but the club being placed under sanctions doesn’t excuse the EFL’s piss-poor approach to administering the appeal process. The EFL are under heavy scrutiny right now due to Sheffield Wednesday and also Morecambe (no longer in the EFL but the problems began when they were still an EFL member).

Maybe I’m being optimistic but I hope the independent regulator knocks the Premier League and EFL down a peg or two.

 

I agree with a lot of that, but it took the EFL a while to officially announce the original punishment.

I'm not sure what to believe or for what motive, but I am surprised none of the local media 'seem' to actively trying to find out like journalists do (supposed to).

 

I don’t think the club know the decision. If it had been made there is no reason not to approve the Willlaims and Akintola signings.

They are also in effect impacting on the lives of both these two and Puerta and Laaloui.

 

No need to worry all, Dave Fergus has spoken out to say that he's been on the phone to the EFL this afternoon to demand an update on the situation.

 

Small point but the hearing was actually last Wednesday wasn't it? So more than a week. Thought it was worth correcting since it actually enhances your point.

 

Thanks. I actually thought it was last Thursday. 8 days then. Bit of a joke.

 

Creepy annoying guy, spams the hcafc hashtag with nonsense.

 

I thought it was a piss take for a while, quick Google revealed it not so.

 

It's with the Independent panel now so it is them delaying it.

 

It’ll be the lawyers , try moving house quickly - legally !! LOL

 

Quite a pointed thing for a journalist to be saying?

As it stands, Williams and Akintola have not been registered. The EFL are taking an age on it all and clearly, that's slowing City down. Are they doing it on purpose? Everybody will have their own opinion.
