  • Owner Dejphon Chansiri and the club have been charged with multiple breaches of payment regulations and face a 14-day deadline to respond
  • The latest embargo follows previous registration restrictions in 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons and a six-point deduction in 2020-21 for spending breaches
  • Labour MP Clive Betts has urged Chansiri to sell the club to safeguard its future amid ongoing financial turmoil
