Close season summary :- No new manager No new pitch No new shirts No new players No new communication No new fans

No we are still under a registration ban. Just us and Derby I think.

Ha right...you will be disappointed when the clapping starts and you find yourself clapping aswell.

You have seen all the pilot events right... the Euro games at Wembley.... the conditions of entry ? They ain't doing that to rip up the restrictions in 2 weeks. It will be attendance with conditions. Conditions need Administration. Administration costs time & money.

Going to be called off. https://www.afcfylde.co.uk/barnsley-friendly-postponed/ Was always obvious small clubs won't be able to afford the admin of checking away fans have had a negative test. Rovers will be the same when the rules come out. No away fans. No walk ons. ST only with double vax and matchday tests.

Full Embargo No comment from club Uttter contempt for fans.

just the projections actually. Accounts from last year we already know from VLL is a £20 million loss. The big promotion gamble failed due to the manager and now we have to hibernate for the next season.

I have no idea if this represents good news or bad news for Rovers. Clearly it is something to do with the P&S compliance and the embargo. But is it a permanent injection or a bridging loan payable back when Armstrong is sold? Who fecking knows !?

Making my blood boil Tom.

I respectfully disagree John. We need administration ASAP and rebuild from the ground up. The fans will come out united, the swamp will be cleared and the last 10 years put behind us. Anything else is prolonging the agony and division. Think you are backing the wrong horse.

If I can't hear both barrels on Radio Lancs, they will never hear it in Pune or even on the touchline. Not like the deafening silence of an empty stadium would be heard. I predict all I will hear is enthusiastic polite clapping.

That's exactly the size of it ! Result for me is I will do neither.

At least in 3 working days the club will be able to proudly announce that the EFL has lifted the transfer embargo.

To play devil's advocate, they haven't failed to tie them down.... They have chosen to not tie them down, as part of the ongoing managed decline. Fans want one thing. The owners and their management team want something completely different. Hence why we constantly don't understand their actions or perceived inactions.

There will be nothing new in the 19/20 accounts which we don't already know, as we can already see the VLL accounts. Losses have been 16.8, 18.2 and this time circa 20 million. £55 million is slightly more than the £39 million allowed. Just being assholes posting last minute but then saying they won't be public for a while. Total contempt for supporters. The embargo all hinges on the Profit and Sustainability projections they also had to submit to the EFL. This covers the current year 20/21 to June 30th. Losses for the 4 years can total £52 million so a nice £20 million windfall in the next week is the difference between embargo and no embargo.

4 working days to get the accounts in. Either the spare part for the fax machine was stuck in the Suez Canal and is now Brexit locked in Rotterdam.... or they are deliberately hiding them from us.

Derby told to re-submit the last 3 years accounts. Could be relegated and Wycombe re-instated. https://www.efl.com/news/2021/june/-derby-county/ We will be lucky to only have a transfer embargo.

The question is Is this incompetance, etc (doubtful) or carefully planned cost reductions and managed decline. (probably) i.e. the aspirations of the fans is the opposite to what the management are being asked to do for their salary. In which case, good luck to those buying season tickets and unwittingly contributing to the destruction of Rovers.

Exactly. It's very clearly in the public domain. We are under a light embargo which will be lifted once the EFL are satisfied or become a full embargo on 30th June. The embargo is actually correctly termed registration ban. It does not actually stop us buying players. It stops us registering them to play. We can buy and then loan back out no problem.

Yes we are correct... and we meet the projections in the P&S submission for this year's accounting period (which we can only assume includes significant income yet to be realised). The accounts will be what they are as factual history. I guess the delay in publishing them is to stop all the other clubs lowering their bids... but the clock is ticking. 6 working days to go.

7 working days to meet the P&S "projections".... sell sell sell !

recruiting a head of recruitment during a recruitment embargo. 🤣 Bet this is going to be top drawer Ben Benson esque. Some kid in his bedroom with a laptop and a stats app.

That is going to be the photo on the nhs passport app to prove 2 jabs.
