Statement from the club:
We would like to share with our supporters the disappointing news that the EFL are placing the club under an immediate transfer embargo.
We believe transparency in these matters is paramount and we want to explain why this has happened.
In our continued efforts to improve and move forward Burnley Football Club we made the decision to change our auditors in November and the transition has taken longer than we anticipated.
We can confirm that we have provided draft accounts and financial information to the EFL’s Club Financial Reporting Unit and we continue to have regular dialogue with the unit to ensure we remain as open and as transparent and answer any questions the League may have.
We believe the EFL will have no issue with the detail of our accounts other than their late submission and fully understand and support their position and efforts to sanction any club who fails to comply with any of their regulations.
Both the Club and our new auditors are confident this can be resolved swiftly and we hope our submission will be made next month at which point the embargo will be lifted.
We once again wish to assure supporters this will have no detriment to the ongoing success and development of the Club as we move forward. |  | | |  |

I doubt very much they are that bothered. In fact you could throw in a 10 point deduction and they would still cruise this league |  | | |

So both the top two are now under embargo's. Nothing to see here.  | | | |

A 50 (fifty) point deduction (nothing less) and I'm in to this. | | | |

They'll be a Premier League club by the time the transfer Window opens again so it won't matter will it?
Not to detract from some of the very dodgy goings on there apparently |  |

Football is so bent.
I used to hold Burnley up as the model QPR should be following. They were doing fine with their system of polishing gems and youth recruitment.
Never lose sight of the long term goal is the lesson here. Well maybe it isn’t a lesson actually as fck all difference is made. [Post edited 12 Mar 2023 22:54]

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Burnley being placed under a transfer embargo whilst all 24 of the clubs in this league are also under a transfer embargo for the entire season anyway, aside of January?
And when they go up and come straight back down will they also receive a £42 million fine? |  | | |

I think you can still sign players under certain circumstances such as any without a club or maybe an emergency signing etc but chances of a clubs in Burnley's position needing to that is so slim it makes a mockery of the embargo. |  | | |

basically under the rules if you file your accounts late you get a transfer embargo which is what has happened here. The timing of it means very little to Burnley obviously and is likely to be removed quite quickly but they are just implementing their rules for a change |  | | |

Just seems a strange time to change auditors and could have been done earlier. Unless, of course, they had some problem Burnley didn't like the answer to. |  | | |

Huddersfield maybe going into administration getting a 12 pt deduction, Wigan late paying wages once more....possible points deduction |  |

It's not always the case, but changing auditors can ring alarm bells & quite often means that something might be awry.
Of course, it could just be that the new auditors don't charge as much. | | | |
