B-Rizzle Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 The transfer window doesn't open until 1st July and player contracts expire at the end of June. But, as there are no fixtures now, the window is effectively open already. No difference in a player signing now or in mid-July. Official paperwork and contracts go through on the 1st July though.

Roger Red Hat Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 qpr doing it now before the embargo/points deduction/slap on the wrist happens None of the players that are 'signed' will be officially signed until July 1st will they? Therefore any action against The Hoops before that date should preclude the supposed 'signed' players, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can agree as many deals as they want now, but they will be thrown out if they're placed under a transfer embargo or similar sanction before July 1st.

joe jordans teeth Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Which makes you think they know they won't have a transfer embargo,or are just chancing their arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Anything that happens to them they will appeal so there's a good chance it would go beyond July 1st anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 There are two issues 1 Player registration. Players can not be transferred and able to play for a new club if the FA will not register them. Thus the transfer window is actually a registration window 2 Contracts. You can have a contract to play and sign it. Once it is signed you are bound and it is illegal to sign a contract with the intent to break it. Therefore a player can have a contract with a club but if he is not registered he cant actually play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in England can sign a deal with another club within a month of their contract expiring so long as it starts after their current deal expires.
