Coventry aborted plans to offload Marlon King and Clive Platt after being hit with a transfer embargo.
Loans were lined up for King and Platt to Cardiff and Norwich to stave off possible administration.
But City scrapped the deals after being unable to draft in replacements after the Football League ruling.
City refused to deny being under sanctions. The League declined to comment.
Sorry Ben. going to lock this to keep all of the talk about the Embargo in one place else it might get confusing, it isn't a bad post or anything but it might get messy with loads of Embargo threads
