Welcome To The Jungle Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Agreed. Either have the window before the season starts or just get rid of it. Loans outside the window should be for players under the age of 23 only but for any time scale, not just 93 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you would coordinate it across Europe but for me you shouldn't be able to add to your squad once the season is underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Don't agree with the transfer window at all. Clubs should be able to do business whenever....just like any other business in the world. It's a stupid rule imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Sounds like a perfectly reasonable reflection on the situation. He doesn't come across as whinging or complaining just explaining how frustrating it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't come across as whinging or complaining just explaining how frustrating it is.exactly how I saw it, if he said he didn't want to comment then some one here would lambast him for that, he gave an opinion, one which other managers have shared, and still someone on here uses it to moan about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would you be happy if you're in a promotion battle and then your rival signs 3 of the leagues best players for massive fee's knowing it will give them the edge?

Cotterill isn't the only manager that complains about the current window structure. Martinez at Everton is a high profile critic of the system.

Mendip City Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 The old system where you couldn't sign players in the last month or so of the season worked absolutely fine. I don't remember anyone complaining about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be a time when you can guarantee that for x amount of time a player is definitely not going to be leaving your club. It happens in business all the time...you have to find way's of keeping your employers...it's dog eat dog out their. It's tough...we've relied on SL's money for short term fix's for so long...now it's coming back to haunt us. But it adds so much excitement! Also would you be happy if you're in a promotion battle and then your rival signs 3 of the leagues best players for massive fee's knowing it will give them the edge? Yes I would...because as an owner, I would invest in making my Club a better proposition than it already is for players....not just rely on my money to bail me out like I did in the past.

I agree wholeheartedly. However player power and benevolent owners would mean it would be disastrous for the long term future of the game without big changes. If the transfer window were to go I would like a strong limitation on how many clubs a player can play for in any period - maybe as low as one in 12-18months. That's the difference, the corporate world can manage it with non-compete clauses. Football would have to go the same way, and stringently I fear.

Buggered if I can I remember the days was there was no transfer windows. Buying and selling went on all year round. I don't recal when the window structure came in but it was introduced mainly because managers complained about the then system ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Amazed to hear Cotterill say he'd rather the window ended before the season started. Considering we couldn't even fill the bench a week before the Sheffield Wednesday game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is big changes that are needed in football AR....the sooner the implosion comes the better imho. As for transfers...movement of players and contracts is dictated by free movement of employment in the EU. We can't just make rules up any old way.

As for transfers...movement of players and contracts is dictated by free movement of employment in the EU. We can't just make rules up any old way. True enough but EU law does permit non-compete clauses if they are reasonable and proportionate, so I don't think it would provide players much protection; particularly as reasonable and proportionality is decided on the circumstances of that industry or even case. But anyway maybe they do make it up Spud. The Euro Commission were one of the parties lobbying for the introduction of the transfer window itself.
