Let's face it theseloopholes are the sort of things the Pozzo's lawyers will eat for breakfast: http://panethos.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/loophole1-gif.jpeg
Smoke bombs and horsemeat coming up next. Clearly he is one of the worlds great thinkers. http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk...tory-18146349-detail/story.html#axzz2Ka1Uwop9
it seems as if everyone has some thoughts and want to write about us now. http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/upthef...up-to-borrowed-time-for-english-football.aspx
It looks as if things are going the other way now. Will there be an uproar over there? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21451853
Just read the blog, and while it is a fairly balanced piece, two parts stuck out for me... Firstly, these two quotes seem to contradict each other... "But according to Football League rules, only 18-year-old Chalobah is counted in the Hornets’ loanee quota. Why? Because, despite stating that a maximum of five can be included in a matchday squad, foreign loan deals are counted as transfers and therefore don’t count." "Effectively a team could win promotion to the Premier League with a whole team of loanees at questionable cost. Something just ain’t right." How can you have a whole team of loanees if only 5 can be included in a matchday squad? I assume he means international loanees? Even then don't you have to have so many homegrown players in your squad? Secondly... "while the emphatic emergence of powerful England Under-21 midfielder Chalobah has energised their promotion charge. It was he who nodded the opener against Holloway’s Palace." Odd, I'm sure it was Almen Abdi?
The strange thing about all this is that the finger is pointed to Watford to taking advantage of a loophole in the FL rules but any other team in the league could do the exact thing as us. If I was the manager of CPFC I could ask my scouts to go abroad and look at getting in an unlimited amount of loan signings. No one is stopping any club from doing this.
