On 2 July, Maheta Molango of the PFA called the situation at the club "shocking" and "not tolerable."[13]

On 6 August, the EFL issued a statement, saying they were deeply concerned and frustrated by the ongoing and developing challenges at the club, with the current owner needing to either fund the club meeting its obligations or make good on his commitment to sell to a well-funded party, for fair market value – ending the current uncertainty and impasse. They also confirmed that proceedings against the Club and Mr Chansiri, announced in June, remain ongoing, however because they have now surpassed 30 days of late payments for the year beginning 1 July 2025 the fee restriction ban has been extended to the end of the winter transfer window in the 2026–27 Season, as well as well as being placed under a further embargo for non-payment of players.[27]
