Seven clubs are listed as operating under a National League embargo.

AFC Fylde have been placed under an embargo by the National League.

It is listed in the ‘judgements and decisions’ section of the league’s website, which said the embargo came into force on Tuesday.

The Coasters are one of seven clubs operating under an embargo for ‘non-compliance with league financial regulations’.

An embargo prevents clubs from signing new players or changing the terms of an existing loan, except where the embargo terms allow.

It is also separate and without prejudice to any other penalties that the league may impose against a club, including for financial breaches.

Aldershot Town, Altrincham, FC Halifax Town, Hornchurch and Morecambe also had embargoes imposed on Tuesday.

Ebbsfleet United’s embargo was imposed at the end of July, before the club was suspended by the National League last week until August 19 amid ongoing financial problems.

A reason for Fylde’s embargo hasn’t been publicised yet but, according to the league’s website, it can be for one of three reasons.

They are: where a club has undergone an insolvency event; where a club has been served with a winding-up petition which has not been satisfied in full or to the satisfaction of the petitioning creditors as evidenced by written agreement: or where a club has either defaulted on such an agreement or has omitted or incorrectly reported its failure to adhere to the terms of any agreement.

The Coasters have been approached for comment.
