Transfer embargo clarity

Wed May 31, 2023 9:08 pm

Ok we're told we're under embargo.

Not according to the EFL embargo service. Where is the link to us being under embargo?

If we are, is there a date for us to appeal?

Dalman said again today that we are still under an EFL embargo which we have appealed, but not a FIFA embargo.

If that can be believed.

That may be, but can only go off what has been said publicly and that is that we are under an EFL embargo which is being appealed.

We haven't been on that list on the EFL website for a bit but this is the information we are being told.

The BBC reported that (quote) "The Bluebirds claimed they were not liable for any of the fee because Sala was not officially their player when he died at the age of 28. A Swiss Federal Court is still considering an appeal against the CAS verdict.

EFL rules state that a club who default on a payment for a transfer fee will not be able to make a payment for a player registration until the end of the following season, though Cardiff have now paid the first instalment of the Sala fee, plus interest
."

The highlighted part explains why a three-window ban is in place, i.e. January last season, this current summer and finally next January's window...
