Burnley transfer embargo:

Burnley do not expect to be impacted by the transfer embargo they have been placed under by the English Football League


Vincent Kompany's side currently sit at the summit of the Championship and are all-but certain to secure a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking given that they boast a 17-point buffer over third-placed Middlesbrough with just 10 matches of the regular season remaining.



However, the Clarets were dealt a blow on Sunday night when it was confirmed that the club had been placed under an embargo by the EFL due to the late submission of their accounts - which Burnley state was due to a change in auditors in November.


Indeed, Burnley were one of the more active second tier sides in the January transfer window, with Kompany adding the likes of Lyle Foster, Hjalmar Ekdal and Swansea City's Michael Obafemi to their ranks.

Wow - that's a really tough penalty imposed on Burnley.

Placed under a transfer embargo when the transfer window is closed - how will they manage?

No doubt provided they file their accounts before the end of the season the ban will be lifted in time for the transfer window to open again.

Like I put on another topic, this will be lifted next month when they publish their accounts.

Just an automatic thing the EFL have to do because they posted their accounts late.

The EFL supposedly have no issue with the situation and know Burnley will publish their accounts next month.

Similar thing happened with us a while back and the embargo was swiftly lifted when we published our accounts.
