Embargo on them with concerns about their financial stability. Allowed to only sign players on frees or free agents.

Not surprised with this one.
 
Sheff Weds just got another embargo added to the 2 they already have. Failure to pay transfer fees to other clubs.

If they want to get out from under the embargos they now have to settle 3 of them. Players wages, Transfer fees not paid, HMRC taxes not paid.
 
This won't affect their ability to potentially sign McBurnie would it? If anything it might increase the chances of them signing him.
 
Gravity keeps being defied, but surely quite a few championship clubs will go pop at some point. It’s just unsustainable. I hope we’re not ‘speculating to accumulate’. Every signing gives me a slight bit of disquiet when we don’t shovel equal numbers of dross out, and we don’t use the kids we invest in rather than ladling in more shite like Christie and Berty Perty. Hopefully the new owners can somehow balance the books, and not expect the PL pipe dream to bail them out.
 
Out of curiosity who was the last youngster that we developed ourselves (not brought in from another academy) who actually broke through to the first team and had success with us?

Rodon seven years ago?

Depends what you class as a success, but Oli Cooper and Liam Cullen would probably count. I guess the reference to another academy means you're not counting Cabango, but he came to us at 14, so not really comparable to a Dan James or Oli McBurnie.
 
I don't say this from a place of jealousy, but for the sake of clubs there really needs to be league wide salary caps. Too many clubs are destroying themselves in a bid for the promised land, and on top of that, once they are there they have no long term benefit because the extra revenue is eaten up in transfer fees and salaries.

Aye I was discounting players who had spent several years or more with another clubs academy before coming to us which rules out McBurnie, James and Cabango.

Oli Cooper I think you would be generous in saying he has had success with us.
Cullen arguably but last season was his career best with 11 goals and he is now what? 26?

Cullen plays in the vast majority of our games (could well change next season) and is a regular Welsh starter, have to class that as success. Would love him to score more goals of course, but he's not a striker to be fair and scores more than our other forwards.

Joe had two seasons in our first team, then didn't do much at Spurs or Rennes, it took the move to Leeds to put him in the 'success' column.
