But didn't we just prove that they can't make us comply with their business plan as we haven't yet finished our first financial year in the EFL, so on what basis can they apply an embargo?

It is an EFL transfer embargo, if we go up it's null and void.

Apparently not but the wording is a bit grey - Can Clubs offer new contracts to players whilst under Embargo? Yes, Clubs can offer new contracts to existing players, though this will be dependent upon the circumstances of the individual Club and will be determined by the League.

based on what law?

Do you mean a retrospective one? As it will be June at the earliest before they will even know if we failed to meet.

Makes me want to get out of this shit league even more, transfer embargo when the window is shut

I don't get how the PL and EFL are both coming at us, it's insane.

Let's start with 0-1 lol, a win is all that matters! If Wilf and Ricardo are back then we should be fine.

for a club in money trouble it beggars belief!

Soton and Norwich are very different teams now and WBA was a smash and grab but yes we should be confident we can get something from any game.

Agreed, WBA will be locked in at 5th by the time we play them, preparing for the playoffs.

This is a good result, can't be caught in the break for autos so let's move on. Got an easier run now

From Cardiff

Cue the 94th min winner

Because we will likely be 3rd going in to the international break otherwise

The irony of us "trying to sue" Everton, makes Rudkin look even more ridiculous.

They still have to play Southampton at home and Norwich, Hull and Coventry away. They are scrapping for sure but they are also just about scraping past poor teams due to their defensive frailties, I think they drop a few more points yet.

Let's go and shithouse them like they did at our place. They drew with Birmingham tonight at home. A win is needed as Ipswich and Leeds have easy opponents and an extra game before the break so we will likely be 3rd if we don't win.

The only saving grace is their April is horrible and they do struggle against the better teams

At this point Ipswich just deserve to go up, fair play to them.

Someone made a good point on the Sunderland thread, in theory we only have 2 league games (Sunderland and Hull) between now and 29th March. This has come at a good time to allow Ndidi and Ricardo to recover for the last 9 games. Downside is we could easily be 3rd/4th by the time we play Bristol City but with a game in hand and a fresh squad.

yes fair point, thinking of Swansea but that was rearranged almost as soon as the Birmingham FA cup game was confirmed so hopefully you are right!

I think 4 would be a great return and about all we can hope for with the suspensions/injuries.

Isn't the Soton game likely to just be the Tues/Weds before the Chelsea game?

Our next 3 are away, we will be 3rd by the end of this. Absolutely unforgivable based on where we were.
