A clever move by the EFL in putting all those with no accounts submitted onto an Embargo. It gives anyone who is a bit slow two months to file the accounts, agree their FFP position and move on. It neatly avoids a club running into the 2021/22 season having bought a bunch of players without having sorted 2019/20. Any club not submitting accounts will be deliberately doing so. As to the claim of 'Financial Armageddon' well it is the Daily Mail.

So what Blackburn are saying is: 1. We have submitted the 2020 accounts and P&S stuff to the EFL, 2. 2020 position is bad so we aren't going to publish the accounts until the latest possible date so no one really knows, 3. As for FFP at 30 June 2021 we need to sell some players before that date or we are in big ?. 4. Therefore we are under a complete Embargo. 5. Which players do you want where we can sell at anything over book value in the 2020 accounts? PS we have to sell by 30 June 2021.

Ignore the the thread then. I moaned a lot about being tricked into clicking on misleadingly-titled threads about women's football in the Football section but now that there is a single clearly-titled women's football thread it is easy to avoid and I do so. (Fair play if people are interested in women's football but I'm not)

You did enough to comment on a clearly titled thread!

Who gives a ****?! Got plenty of problems here to laugh at those idiots.

Brilliant. They are now the GiftAid that keeps on giving. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/joey-barton-bristol-rovers-charity-5263906
