SFA imposes transfer embargo on DAFC

Outcome from the SFA hearing today

Bryan Jackson, business restructuring partner with accountants BDO, commented on today's SFA's decision: "Whilst not welcoming any sanctions which limit the club's ability to perform I believe that we got a fair hearing from the SFA and that they adequately took into account the specific circumstances that we face at Dunfermline."

"I recognise that they had to impose a penalty on the club for going into administration and believe that the transfer embargo until 31/12/2013 on players aged over 21 matches, to an extent, the existing SFL sanctions and is a reasoned response from the SFA. Whilst we are awaiting the written official judgement it is unlikely that we will be appealing this decision. The club is going through difficult times both on and off the pitch and I hope that we can now put these issues behind us and continue the battle to keep the team afloat financially and win in the playoffs."
