The regulations do say "this will be dependent upon the circumstances of the individual Club and will be determined by the League". So it can simultaneously be true that clubs under embargo are generally allowed to extend contracts, and also true that the League have decided our specific circumstances make it inappropriate for us to extend contracts.
Equally, Hunt could be being diplomatic. We could be in a situation where, for instance, a player like Craig says "I want a pay rise that reflects that I'm now a senior player". Maybe, and this is just speculation, the EFL are happy for us to extend contracts, but not to offer improved terms, and players aren't prepared to sign extensions without improved terms.
