Overview

  • Hull City was hit with a three-window transfer fee restriction after missing a £1m loan payment for Louie Barry under EFL Regulation 52.2.3.
  • The club’s initial registration embargo was lifted once the outstanding fee to Aston Villa was settled.
  • The restriction bars Hull from paying any transfer fees until January 2027, limiting them to free-agent and loan signings without fees.
  • Hull City lodged a formal appeal within the 14-day window and aims to have the sanction reduced by an independent disciplinary panel.
  • Owner Acun Ilicali denies systemic financial issues, saying all debts are owed to him personally despite wider concerns over late supplier and creditor payments.
