Moyes Championship raid plans could be on hold

|

If David Moyes plans to raid the Championship for young hungry talented players this summer he could be out of luck with half of the division facing transfer bans.

Ten Championship clubs have been placed under a transfer embargo at the same time last month, with statements being issued following reports.

The Daily Mail claims almost half of the league was subject to a registration ban. This has led to claims the integrity of the competition has been seriously undermined and there are now big fears that some second-tier clubs are facing ‘financial Armageddon’. Coventry were the first EFL club on Tuesday morning to confirm the news.

The tabloid says other clubs in question were Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City, Derby County, Huddersfield Town, Luton Town, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City.

Although they won’t be forbidden from selling players to the Premier League they are unlikely to do so if they can’t replace them.
