Today has seen the publication of a transfer embargo on our club by the EFL which has obviously caused a high degree of concern to all of us as supporters.
Having investigated the matter, both at club board level and elsewhere, the cause of this problem has been as follows:
It has been an administrative issue at the club’s auditor which delayed the filing of the 2025 audited account where there was a change at short notice in partner to sign off the audit report. This has been rectified and the accounts will now be signed off early next week and the embargo notice withdrawn.
The club has confirmed that the embargo, because of the reason for it, has had no adverse impact on the club’s transfer plans for this month which continue to be progressed
Just to stress that the embargo is no reflection of the club’s financial position. It continues to be fully compliant with the EFL financial fair play rules and has headroom within them to support the manager in his transfer plans this month .
