Last updated : 15 August 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Hartlepool have this morning received news that the Football League have lifted the club's transfer embargo.
Football League rules state that player salaries must not exceed 60% of any League Two club's turnover. Hartlepool were relegated from League One back in May and believed they had a period of grace to comply. This however was not the case and the Football League issued the club with a transfer embargo
With the embargo now lifted Hartlepool wasted no time is trying to recruit players. They made a late, but unsuccessful bid to snatch Julian Joachim from under the noses of Darlington. After the sale of Adam Boyd to Luton the club have the cash to splash.
