Fact.. from the EFL website


If a Club is found to be in breach, then the Club will be unable to pay or commit to pay any transfer fee, compensation fee, loan fee, or any other form of payment when registering any player from the date of the breach until it expires at the conclusion of three full transfer windows.

This means that if a Club breaches the 30-day rule during a transfer window, their Fee Restriction will cover the remainder of that transfer window plus the three full transfer windows that follow.

Unlike an embargo, a Fee Restriction isn’t lifted upon payment of the outstanding debt, but can be appealed by Clubs.



Clubs can ‘staff up’, so they have 23 Permitted Players within their squad.

Clubs are able to ‘staff up’ to ensure the integrity of the competitions remain and so that Clubs are able to fulfil their fixtures.

  • Clubs are only permitted to ‘staff up’ by signing players on loan or players not registered with another Club
    • Clubs cannot pay fees to acquire loan players and cannot pay additional wages on top of the salary the player receives at their parent Club
  • Clubs ‘staffing up’ may only register players until the end of the current Season, whilst loan transfers can only be for half a season

Interesting to hear. We live in hope. I hope you're right, we move forward and the club (Acun) learn some lessons.

Interesting that Smailes' suggest even in the best case we have an embargo this window but are keen to get the fee punishment lifted. If so I imagine we'll try and get players out the door and then 'staff up' via loans with obligations (always end well), that aligns with the Frigan reports last night. It's the double punishment that will hold us back this year. If you remove the embargo but keep the fee punishment at least we could sign free agents.

We need a smaller squad anyway but would need players out sharpish.

Is it possible The EFl have indicated what the club need to do to be successful at appeal?
 
So I've just googled what fee restriction means and this is what is said

'punishment for breaching the EFL's 30-day rule, means that they won't be able to spend any money on players - permanent transfers or loans - until the January 2027 window'
 
So lets get the free agent list out
Who we signing

Jake clarke harris upfront?
 
My favourite post on this thread was the guy who said ‘Everything’s fine. Acun’s just been a bit naughty and pushed his luck but it’s how he does business. Coaches were enjoying a pint at the Hilton’.
