The English Football League is approaching the final few weeks of another dramatic season.
It promises to be a fascinating finale at both ends of all three divisions. But for a clutch of clubs, it has been a testing campaign, having to operate under the constraints of a transfer embargo. A number of sides were placed under embargoes last summer.
In the case of Derby County this was down to a number of reasons such as failing to provide relevant accounts and entering administration. Most other cases were as a result of clubs taking a loan to cover losses as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hull City were one of the clubs placed under embargo last summer but had it lifted in January following their takeover when the loan was repaid.
