A Bit of Fun Transfer embargo at Southend?

[shrimperton]

We have now been handed a transfer embargo by the league due to financial reasons.

Thats all ive been told so O'Donovan is the last signing we will make

This club is in deep deep ****

Very Very Reliable source!!

Does this put us in a new 'big two' with Chelsea?

Does this also mean we can't cash in on the production line of starlets our academy churns out?

If true, I think Ron should come out and say so on the OS before the rumourmongerers go into overdrive...we don't want another situation dragging on like with Revell's loan & the Tax Bill issue.

I'm not believing this one until it's in the Echo ;)

Never miss the Echo, saves me buying bog roll....

:stunned:

I'm in France so I won't be able to but presumably it would be on their website.

I agree with Glasgow though. If this is true, Ron should come out and say so on the OS and say what the **** he intends to do about it. Until then and we find out officially either way, it's just another case of playing the waiting game and seeing what happens...

 

[united we stand]

if this were true I would have expected it to be on SSN by now - or if the news is really that new then within the hour. If not I will treat it the same as any of the other unsubstantiated rumours we have on.

The standard reasons for the FA doing this are missing a payment to a club for a player that has been signed, or failure to pay wages/bonuses to current/past players

 

[SUBBlue]

Nothing on the OS, SSN,BBC or Football League websites.. so far..

Maybe looking on the sunnier side of life but isn't there a limit on the number of loan players we can sign ? If so, could this not be the reason for the 'embargo' ?

King out!!!

Think its 7 (or 9?) over the course of a season.

I'd rather throw the 40p at Penny Steve down the High Street, but you are indicating The Echo will break the news then .. very unlike our local newspaper to have banner headlines showing the club in a bad light i spose :whistling:

 

[pickledseal]

Oh no, not again..... rumours are doing me in at the moment.

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

i would say that if we do not pay the Tax owed, this would become a reality. So maybe at the moment it is a case of crossed wires. i.e. it is impending rather than a fact.

Very Very Reliable source!!

From within the club ??

I'm not believing this one until it's NOT in the Echo ;)

Amended for accuracy

 

[South Bank Hank]

Having just deleted a post, can I ask everyone to be sensible when making allegations about things that may or may not have happened within the club on this forum? It's not enough just to throw the word "allegedly" in front of comments that cannot be proven to be correct.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

I am going on what i have been told by a source at the club today, it is not something ive made up or a bizzarre fishing trip as you put it, i got better things to do!!

Hopefully the source aint gonna be right but for someone who works alongside RM i dont see the point in wind ups!!!

Interesting. If we have indeed been given the transfer ban (not saying I doubt you btw) we should get confirmation from the club and other news outlets very soon then... :scared:

Even he must be running low on ********!
