The details of Derby County's transfer embargo have been updated.
On the English Football League (EFL) website, 'regulation 51.2.3' has been added as a fifth reason why Wayne Rooney's side are being monitored by the League.
The Rams were prevented from signing players from other clubs, unless they were on loan, during the summer transfer window.
Derby have been allowed to register just 23 players and they reached that limit before the Sheffield United game in the Carabao Cup last month forcing Rooney to name Marko Borkovic, a scholar, in the matchday squad to beef up the numbers.
Scholars do not count toward the number of players of 'professional standing' which has hampered Derby all window.
The Rams signed Phil Jagielka, Sam Baldock, Ravel Morrison, Richard Stearman and Ryan Allsopp this summer, all free agents.
They were only allowed to pay players a maximum of £4,500 per week and the embargo was placed on them in the summer, according to the EFL, for the following reasons:
Regulation 16.2 - Failure to provide audited annual accounts Regulation 16.3 - Annual Accounts not filed with Companies House Regulation 17 - Default in payments to HMRC Profit and Sustainability Rules - non-submission of audited accounts Regulation 51.2.3 - Default in paying transfer fee instalments.
The latter regulation was removed in July but appeared back on the EFL's embargo reporting service on Thursday morning.
Derby were cleared of breaking financial fair play rules last year but the EFL appealed and a new ruling was made in their favour.
The Rams were accused of breaking FFP rules in regards to the amortisation of a player's contract.
Dykes is a late-comer to football and a work in progress.
He's easily at a decent Championship level and I expect him to get better through the season under Charlie's mentoring (maybe not the head-butting routine Chaz...).
Dykes goal 'mishit'? I don't think so. A great strike, if rather fortunate that Lumley didn't do better with it. But there was bugger-all else on, so he demonstrated a striker's instinct - if in doubt, wellie it at the goal...
