If 23 other clubs can submit there's on time then so can we:
Cardiff City placed under transfer embargoThe Bluebirds are now unable to sign players after the EFL imposed an embargo upon them
Under EFL rules, each club must submit to the league their annual accounts for the financial year 2024/25 by December 31. It would appear the Bluebirds missed that deadline.
Until Cardiff City Submit their Accounts they can not bring New Players in.
According to the EFL website, the reason for the enforcement of the embargo is due to "P&S Rule 2.4.1 - Non-submission of Annual Accounts".
Cardiff City given a transfer embargo by EFL for non-submission of 24/25 accounts by the 31 December deadline.
This means Cardiff cannot sign any players during the current window until they send in the figures.

Can always rely on the hierarchy to do something like this, we might have turned a corner on the pitch, but we're still reminded about what a bunch of clowns are still running the club

Can’t they just courier them over post haste? On a level of severity this at least isn’t the worst we have been in the shit for

Three clowns running the club. Complete idiots. BBM and the squad who have worked so hard this season deserve better.
TAN OUT

No excuse for this.
We will have no chance of keeping BBM or our best players in the future, with things like this happening.
Sat Jan 10, 2026 10:07 am
IDIOTS.
And they wonder why we show them no respect.

Club has said they will be submitted next week and it won't effect our transfer window
Absolute ridiculous, such an amature set up behind the scenes
Sat Jan 10, 2026 10:23 am
My initial thought was this is unbelievable, but thinking about it, it's definitely 100% believable
Because of our league position and the positive football on the pitch there's a great feeling this season amongst us fans so there's been plenty of gossip of who we'll bring in this January, forgetting we have the dictator running our beloved club who doesn't want to spend a penny and this is his perfect excuse.
He's controlled our club for way too long, we need to get him out.

This is piss poor.
Sounds like it will be sorted but that's not the point.
Club is run by amateurs.

Just waiting for the somebody to defend it but nothing knew I knew we was skint currently and wouldn't be spending nore would BBM be backed to what he wants despite his "everything is good with the squad" toe the line talk. It's as if the club didn't know right

. It's embarrassing from the club clowns and thats insulting clowns in truth. We have seen this before. Waiting for the it wasn't our fault media release and we had money to spend bullshit
