so there’s no embargo then? one rumour down,how many to go?
Technically the players have not signed because their registrations can’t be transferred and registered with the League until July. What exists will be a pre contract agreement between the club and player. Therefore today’s announcement does not nullify the rumour.
I have heard Mark Ives speak at length on the subject of transfer embargoes. Although I have no confidence in Ives, it is my understanding that HMRC share information with the National League on clubs to confirm payments relating to VAT & PAYE are up to date. Also defaults on football related liabilities between clubs will lead to an embargo. In reality I am not sure the club’s pension provider is in any position to share information on potential defaults which would result in a transfer embargo. I might be wrong.
