The Squad List (2023/24 Edition)

Agreed. Insightful conjecture.

I think for it to be true, it would show up on the list of embargoes on the EFL's website, of which only Sutton are under one in League Two. It showed up on there for us in 21/22.

Also a good counter-argument!

I think it was made clear on the LSPOD that it doesn't necessarily mean that we are under an embargo, just potentially not hitting a threshold of expendeture that would trigger the requirement of a due payment of the loan.

Ah apologies, I think I misunderstood that one.

From a brief scan of that, if we are hitting the ceiling requiring repayments that rather flies in the race of us lacking a pot to piss in (albeit it being possibly a cumulative figure since the loan the big squad last season could be fucking us up)

Long and short, despite the multiple pronouncements of FACT, actually its quite nuanced and no one outside the club likely has a fucking clue what's actually happening.

I'd forgotten we traded away Lavinier, he'd be a godsend for us at LWB right now vs every other person who has given it a go.

Yeah Dokes has been a good signing though meanwhile he was always injured. Wiki says he hasn't even played for FG yet, don't know if that is up to date.

Agreed, and I don't think anyone has made pronouncements as Fact in this case, either here or on any Pods that I have listened to, just speculating potential reasons based on what we can see happening combined with a few whispers no doubt (as is always the case)

There are three outstanding debts in this area (reducing)
   - Efl hardship £415k (was 1.09M)
   - EFL covid loan £41K (was 119K)
   - Bounce back loan 32K (was 50K)

Any one of them could have restrictions while they are live. Any one could be disadvantageous to pay where conditions are imposed to do so.

Or maybe no/

From what I see, clubs only have abide by the EFL’s financial regulations.

‘ League One and League Two Clubs follow the Salary Cost Management Protocol (“SCMP”) These state that Clubs can only spend a fixed percentage of its revenue on player wages etc. This limit can also be added to or impacted by equity injections or net transfer spend.
For more information about the EFL’s Financial Fair Play Rules, see Appendix 5 of the EFL Regulations.

The amount of money the EFL gets its should have been a grant and not loans
