A Bit of Fun Transfer embargo at Southend?

"A reliable source"

Ah, but are they "very very reliable" ?? :sherlock:

"A reliable source"

Fair enough.

I'm pretty certain if we had or are about to recieve a transfer embargo it would have been mentioned somewhere by now.

i prefer Ron to Jobbo end of story!

If true this will this leave Lee Sawyer in a limbo like state as we cant sign him and Chelsea cant sell him?

 

[wiggy]

Blimey, possible bad news = Wiggy on board shocker.

.....and you are the biggest culprit of giving patently obvious shi t players more time and believe everything that Ron says to appease you!

You can't get much lower than that.

Where did you hear that?

I like the way most people are jumping the gun on this one. Its been mentioned by two people on here so far, and to my knowledge none of them have provided genuine inside knowledge before.

Actually a fan of your posts Jai, so don't take that the wrong way.

No offence taken at all, I'm merely stating what I have heard and no matter how reliable that may be, it's still second hand information and I won't be offended if people don't believe it.

And whoever posted the issue about the Football League not confirming or denying transfer embargoes - that is correct I have just been told the same thing.

The point about a previous embargo is interesting because something similar was brought to my attention earlier in the summer. Whether it was the case we were under an embargo for part of the summer is not confirmed, but it would explain a lot. The question is, is it happening again? I was told the embargo was brought in at 5pm yesterday. Which I believe is after the signing of O'Donovan.

I was told the embargo is in place now, AFTER o'dovovans transfer

Assuming for a moment that this might be true ("very very good source" after all), are these things generally contingent on something happening at which point the embargo is lifted? I'm guessing it would be, but I have no idea either way.

Ie: Have we, for example, been placed under a transfer embargo until we pay some random player that bag of peanuts we still owe him? Or would any such embargo last for a defined period of time by way of a punishment?

Can last for as long as a debt is outstanding, i assume if we paid the peanuts we could get some more monkeys :)

Perhaps it is for our tapping up of Scott MacDonald ??? LOL

I heard Palace had been given an embargo for not paying the right money for a player. That was on SSN this morning and it said it would be lifted when the monies had been paid across.

I can't see how that would apply to us though - we haven't bought anyone!

You can't buy if you don't pay existing players.

Don't believe this for a second, we are in the financial quagmire but i can't see this being true, especially seeing as we've got O'Donovan on loan now. Oh and someone said Lee Sawyer said Chelsea can't sell Sawyer? They can an i'm pretty sure that Huddersfield or Millwall would make a decent bid for him.

 

[TJC]

I thought Chelsea just couldn't buy players? Not sell.

 

[Davros]

indeed, Chelsea are banned from registering any new players for the next two windows.

granted they'd be silly to sell people if they cant replace them... but it doesnt mean they wont

Im curious why you said Huddersfield or Millwall? Is that just pure speculation?

Just out of interest, why IS the club struggling (perceived or otherwise) so much. I know we have large debts, but are they not mainly to Ron's company so they are not going to be calling the debts in other than a last resort. I don't believe our wage bill is going to be huge, we have bigger crowds then a lot of clubs with our 'history', have generated a reasonable amount in transfers and revenue, seem well run with the marketing department etc, are well considered within the community, probably sell decent amount of mercandise compared to clubs with our history..... Is it basically impossible to succeed with a club our size unless someone puts money from their own pockets to bank roll things?

If so I guess that further points to the need for a new stadium, if being well run and frugal with wages is not enough to keep a club going by traditional means and a new stadium is needed to generate the extra revenue....

Both have money to burn

eg £350,000 for Theo Robinson
£200,000 for McCormack

Considering Tilly talks about bringing in any targets that might become available in his video interview posted today, I don't think he's been told such Chinese whispers........ ;)
