Smogzilla 7,385 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Taken from the EFL website: What is the purpose of an Embargo? Embargoes are intended to operate as a deterrent against Clubs defaulting on financial obligations to clubs or players, and/or breaching other key relevant regulations e.g. reporting on financial matters. An embargo prevents a Club from strengthening its team or adding to its playing staff costs until such time as it has met its existing financial obligations and/or the Club has rectified the relevant breach of EFL regulation(s). Under what circumstances can a Club operating under an Embargo sign players? During a Transfer Window Clubs can ‘staff up’, so they have 23 players of Professional Standing within their squad. Clubs are able to ‘staff up’ to ensure the integrity of the competitions remain and so that Clubs are able to fulfil their fixtures. Clubs are only permitted to ‘staff up’ by signing players on loan or players not registered with another Club Clubs cannot pay fees to acquire loan players and cannot pay additional wages on top of the salary the player receives at their parent Club Clubs ‘staffing up’ may only register players until the end of the current Season, whilst loan transfers can only be for half a season Budget restrictions apply dependent upon the divisional status of the Club under embargo Outside of a Transfer Window Outside of a transfer window, Clubs can only register Out of Registration players (free agents) and Clubs can only register Out of Registration players if they have less than 16 players of Professional Standing (2x Goalkeepers, 14x Outfield Players) In line with Regulation 57, Clubs can register an Emergency Goalkeeper Loan if they don’t have any Professional Goalkeepers available due to injuries, suspensions or international call-ups. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 That'll explain why they're trying to sign a 38 year old Phil Jagielka. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 So basically Derby need to find 10 free transfers. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the ideal summer for that to be fair, there's lots of players out of contract right now. Though I wouldn't fancy their chances of staying up if there's a points penalty to be added to that. Hopefully it'll be nice slow and miserable season for them like Wednesday's was last year 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 but they have to make sure that those 10 players are on reasonable wages, they wouldn't get away with offering high wages Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It's also the first summer where they can't just look to the European market for free transfers. All of them will likely have to be domestic players, and those of any sorts of quality are sought after by plenty of clubs. Would you really sign for Derby this summer unless you are a 38 year old Jagielka looking for one final season of football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when they could still be hit with a points deduction on top of this embargo. Not exactly appealing. Link to post Share on other sites
