    Due to late accounts apparently. I'm a bit suspicious why changing auditors would have caused such a delay.

    I'm sure its gonna matter as much to them as it did to Sheffield Utd being under one in January

    In a couple of months they will be in the Premier League and out of EFL restrictions

    At a time where it makes no difference 🤷‍♀️
    Yup, should have put them under an embargo in January incase they later did something wrong 🤷‍♂️

    Can't help think they are remarkably lucky they look like returning to the PL.  Thought they would implode and still think they would have but for the immediate return.

    Saw a rumour that JJ Watt the recently retired NFL star might be joining their ownership group.

    Rather pointless really. 

    Even deducting them 6 or 9 points wouldn't make any difference as they are getting promoted in a few weeks time.

    Might be idea to suspend it until they are back in the Championship though.

    It's nothing major, just a late submission of accounts. They seem fairly confident the embargo will be lifted once accounts are submitted shortly.

    That said i do agree with your point though. If it was a more serious offence then a team shouldn't escape punishment just because they get promoted. The punishment should definitely be suspended for if/when that team returns to the EFL, whether it's in 1 year or 10 years.

    Seems like we’ve been under a good transfer embargo for years!

    May not be what you'd consider a serious offense, but if you know not doing something carries such penalties, you don't not do it by accident. There's a reason they didn't meet the deadline, and it isn't forgetfulness.

    Edit - just seem changing auditors used as an excuse. Even worse. That doesn't scan

    these embargos always happen AFTER a club has spent a fortune on quality players to strengthen their squads
