Swansea Could Avoid Embargo
Swansea Could Avoid Embargo
Sunday, 26th Jun 2011 09:53

Swansea could avoid a Premier League transfer embargo despite their failure to pay £300,000 owing on the Tamás Priskin loan deal, according to reports this morning. The Premier League have received Town's complaint but the matter may initially be dealt with by the Football League, the Hungarian's move having taken place when Swansea were a Championship club.

The Premier League has confirmed that it has received Town’s complaint: “We will refer this to our board at the first opportunity.”

Should either organisation rule in the Blues’ favour — which Town are confident they would do — then the Swans would appear certain to pay rather than risk an embargo which could potentially ruin their inaugural Premier League season.

The Blues aren’t the only ones unhappy with the way Swansea go about things with their full-back Neil Taylor reported to be taking legal advice regarding what he believes is a breach of contract by the Welsh club.

The 23 year-old is close to joining Newcastle United, who are looking to trigger a £1 million exit clause in the former Wrexham man’s Swans contract.

However, Swansea are demanding a £10 million fee, claiming that the clause only allows the Magpies to speak to Taylor and not that they are obliged to sell him if an offer comes in at that level.

There are similarities with Phil Jones’s recent switch from Blackburn to Manchester United with Rovers claiming much the same regarding a £16.5 million clause in the England U21 international defender’s contract. However, Blackburn ultimately lost the argument and Jones moved on.

Taylor, who was memorably sent off after 53 seconds of Swansea’s play-off semi-final first leg at Nottingham Forest, is understood to have spoken to lawyers and the PFA regarding the situation.

Surely a contract is a contract, and both parties just need to read it and follow what is written in black and white. I don't see how Swansea can keep running into dispute over these, and it can't be helpful for their reputation and future business dealings.

If the Premier League do not get involved, it could mean the Football League block any potential moves of players currently playing under their jurisdiction?

Hungaran - A useless carthorse often mistaken for a footballer. Not to be confused with a Hungarian - person born in Hungary

totally agree mark, if i was a chairman and had a player swansea wanted, i would want all the money up front and that never happens normally its all done in instalments. it may damage the deals they need to do to retain premier status (and they will need all the help they can get).

Follow the contract. Non-execution clause. Give notice. Straight to court.

There will be no embargo, Swansea are now a Prem League club and so can do what the hell they want, with the full backing of the league. Shame they don't want Priskin full time...
