Derby are under an embargo for five reasons: failure to provide audited annual accounts, annual accounts not filed with Companies House, default in payments to HMRC, default in paying transfer fee instalment and non-submission of audited accounts.
The embargo on newly-promoted Hull, who PNE face at Deepdale on the opening day of the season, is due to 'conditions under monitored loan agreement'.
It relates to a loan the Tigers took out with the EFL to help them get through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Clubs cannot pay fees to acquire loan players and cannot pay additional wages on top of the salary the player receives at their parent club
