Overview

• The English Football League imposed a three-window transfer fee restriction on Hull City after the club missed part of the £1 million Louie Barry loan payment.
• Hull’s legal team has formally lodged an appeal with the EFL, presenting evidence it believes will overturn the embargo.
• Chairman Acun Ilicali has cleared outstanding fees to Aston Villa and Manchester City and is personally covering delayed supplier invoices caused by a missing £1.5 million transfer inflow.
• Recent financial accounts reveal Hull City is losing £500,000 per week and remains barred from paying any transfer fees until the appeal is decided.
• The independent disciplinary panel’s decision will determine Hull’s ability to sign players and test the EFL’s enforcement of financial regulations in the Championship.
