Those are the rules though. That was Wednesday's plan, and it very nearly worked. Bend the rules and succeed, and you end up like Villa/Wolves, bend the rules and fail, you end up like Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SUFC were never under a transfer embargo, and if we couldn't sign players temporarily, it certainly wasn't enforced by the FPL.  I know they like to let clubs get away with murder, but I don't think they'd have let us sign six players if we were under an embargo at the time!  76. Apart from the need for more money going forward, Blades had to deal with the implications of the £3 million Charwell debt. To comply with the Salary Costs Management Protocol of the English Football League, part of the debt had to be taken off Blades’ balance sheet by the end of the season. Mr Tutton ingeniously suggested that that problem and the imbalance in the equity contributions of UTB and SUL in 2016/17 could be addressed together, by UTB taking on liability for £2.3 million of the debt and SUL for £0.7 million (i.e. UTB contributing £1.6 million more than SUL). It was later decided that, instead, £1.6 million of the Charwell loan should be novated to UTB, leaving Blades liable to repay £1.4 million. That suggestion was rather indelicately put to Mr Alsaady, on behalf of Charwell, who initially was uncooperative, with the result that no resolution was achieved in time to avoid a temporary embargo on the Club’s transfer activity. Had the issue not been resolved (as it later was, on 25 July 2017) it could have had a damaging impact on the Club’s ability to position itself for the new season in the Championship Edited August 4, 2020 by Moistened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If you could show us all where the EFL handed SUFC an embargo, which they (the EFL) would have been duty bound to let every other member club know about, that would be great.  I seem to think you may be talking about when Steve Bettis (the CEO of SUFC) informed the EFL, out of duty to the club, and courtesy to the EFL, that with the owners at loggerheads about who should put how much money in, we would sail close the wind in funding, resulting in giving notice that we would be in a transfer embargo.  Within a few weeks, we had signed half a dozen players (including I think, current players John Lundstram and George Baldock), so, not much of an embargo, eh?   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jeffrey Shaw   90 #118 Posted August 6, 2020 Plus there were possibly unfounded allegations of jiggery-pokery in the conveyancing work re the stadium, non-registration (for a year) of a Transfer deed, and supposedly involvement in that work of a limited company that at the time didn't even exist. I know nothing proving anything wrong; I guess that all was above board- and I hope that it was- but perhaps we'll eventually learn who did what wrong when!
