None will, let’s be honest!

Just like when at the start of the season someone from the EFL? Said up to a dozen clubs will go bust by Christmas.

I thought that the PFA's legal challenge to the new Salary Cap meant that the new rules weren't being enforced?

Oh joy, thanks Martin. We can always rely on the odious Gordon Taylor to put a spanner in the works.

Bolton are in L2! It's crazy they can keep signing players if they are over the L2 cap. I understand about honouring existing contracts if they are relegated but not still being able to overspend relative to L2

Still under a transfer embargo and one player needs to leave before we can bring one in. 4 have left today and 4 have come in.

We’re not actually paying great wages but offering long contracts and the “draw” of playing for Bolton is helping.

I think it's still active despite being challenged.

Crawley, Port Vale and Barrow are breaking the new squad size rules. Hard to believe several of the big boys aren’t breaking the salary cap. Be interesting to see how many clubs get docked points at the end of this season.

Crawley breaking the rules? Shirley shome mistake!

I wasn't aware of that, but Bolton, FGR, Salford etc got most of their big name and big money signings done early in the summer before the salary cap came into effect. So my understanding is that those players salaries will only count at the League two average which is about 1,200 pounds a week. Therefore the likes of Doyle and Sarcevic could be on like 4,000 pounds a week at Bolton but only count as 1,200 towards the salary cap.

So not actually a transfer embargo. Just a swopsies. Makes a mockery of the system, sorry.

Torquay got done a few years ago for playing too many sh1t players.

We can only have a 23 man squad under the embargo which we reached in the summer, so to bring better players in we needed to let players go.

Not really making a mockery of it, owners and management have played by the rules of the embargo all the way through else we’d probably be facing a points deduction (yet again).

ThanksSpoonz. I couldn't work out whether the EFL were actively enforcing or not.
