... are reporting that the EFL has demanded proof that we can, in a financial sense, fulfil this season's fixtures. That means proving we can pay wages and bills. It is expected that the sum needed is £13.5M. We have enough "in the bank" to see us through to January. The rest can only have 2 possible sources, fans buying tickets and merchandise or the sale of the club going through (I have purposely omitted advertising and sponsorship revenue as we probably have already received that up front). Failure to provide such proof will lead to a complete transfer embargo, both in and out.

Not unreasonable IMO. If we can't prove we can pay any new players, we shouldn't be allowed to sign them.

Conversely, if we can't sell players either, we don't lose any of the players currently appearing to be doing sufficient to keep us up even with a 12 point deduction.

Are these reports true or is it the usual suspects causing trouble again?
