Football : Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

[MalteseFalcon]

Agree about the manager, but with players it should be allowed in certain circumstances. For instance, your 25 man squad submitted in the Summer has a few injuries to it ruling, for arguments sake, 5 players out of the squad for the rest of the season. If you only have 2 or 3 players to submit instead of those injured and none of the Under 21's are ready to play for the first team, would it not make sense to allow that team to sign players to replace those injured?

Did you sign this Russ?

Personally l don't rate him that highly but l for one will never sign it.

This would allow clubs to address a serious situation but somewhat limit the merry-go-around. Additionally managers must be compensated for at least the entire reason irrespective of their contract.

I would also close the winter transfer window. The manger and team you enter a season with should be the one with which you finish with.

You've not really thought either idea through have you.

No I think I have thought it through. We should encourage better pre-season planning.

Don't worry. I am sure Arsenal are ready to take a certain asset off their hands for almost the full amount!

Never never never and that message will be sent to all Arsenal fan who must pray daily that some sort of miracle will allow this to happen but suffice to say there is no hope of deliverance not now not never on this.

So what happens if we have another Keegan in charge of England who decides he can't cope half way through qualifying, England don't have a manager without screwing another club over.

What about the small clubs that sell to survive and big south American clubs that sell to pay wages, seems to me you have thought about what would suit your favourite club and stuff everyone else.

England would be free to pick from one of the unemployed managers or will have to wait until the end of the season. They would still screw over another club if they poach their manager.

They can sell at the end of the season or they can sell now but the licence won't transfer until the end of the season. All I am suggesting is that we extend the current ban on transfer windows throughout the season rather than have a opening in the middle stopping the mad rush in January for players.

Tend to agree with the daddy.

Often suggestions on here are biased to what suits there own club.

Pre-ferguson, Man utd supporters decried changing a manager, and look how well ferguson turn out. Then they get Moyes, and it is "get rid of him".

I take the view, let clubs do what they want, I rarely hear about a poor manager, and some seem to make changing their job as a career.

That won't do for me and the vast majority of England supporters, taking an unemployed manager rather than the best man for the job & failing to qualify for major tournaments and fans of clubs having to endure relegation and the likes of glen roader and Avram grant longer than necessary. For me it's such a bad idea it could have come straight from sepp Blatter.

What you're suggesting is players waiting many months for pay instead of just months as happens now in south America, players who can't get in teams wasting their careers waiting for moves and smaller clubs in this country possibly going bust because they can't sell players. It's not broke, why attempt to fix it.
