We got ourselves into this situation, not them. I did think it was a bit strange when we were originally placed under our soft transfer embargo that we went and spent nearly £15m on a bunch of new signings within a matter of days, but again, that's on the club's head more than the EFL's.
If anything, we've had the most lenient punishment of the 4 Championship clubs to have had points deducted. Birmingham and Derby both got -9 for similar reasons and Sheffield Wednesday originally had 12 points deducted, later reduced to just 6, which was worse than what we had.
Precisely. Anger should be directed at Dai Yongee & not the EFL. Breaking the rules is our fault. The only aspect of the punishment I disagree with is not being able to sign players for >1 season.
Which we can. Holmes and Yiadom prove it
To be fair, they were not "signings" rather renewals of current players, although not sure why that would be different to transfers but, as of last season, we were only restricted to one year deals. I suppose it's still unknown as to whether that has changed for this season, but again, I can't see why it wouldn't as we've only got to meet these requirements for this season.
