Players under 21 face no restriction." I have read the Leagues website and rules shown there but cant see anything to confirm this. Don't know if it was brought in. I found that too but it is literally the only reference to that being introduced throughout the football league. My guess is it was a reference to the Premier League restrictions which were introduced, I believe, in the summer of 2010 and some local paper jumped the gun.

sne Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 What does it say on Football Manager when you play the Championship? They are usually on the ball with these kind of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, it also says in the transfers section that from 8th September-26th November you can still make domestic loans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffGreens Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The Football league has its regulations up on their website. There didn't seem to be any hint of a squad limit under the player (which did mention the limit of 5 loan players within a matchday squad for instance) or within the club sections.

If RDM is just going to use up all our loans on Messi, Ronaldo, Ramsey type players then I might have to start questioning his judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we approach Bonucci and he says he will sign on the condition we include a relegation release clause then we should tell him to **** off and look elsewhere.

Sorry we cant sign him. Imagine how much it would cost to pay of his contract to get shot of him after a couple of years of not performing for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could play 2-3-5 Clark & Baker diving in then hoofing it 50yrds We wouldnt even need a GK 2-3-6 and we'd still win 9-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So, Jokes aside. RDM (imho) should really consider one of two ways this can go for him 1) Integrate the shiesters/shite players (Gabby, Bacuna, Lescott, Sinclair, Guzan, Hutton, Richards @CB ->RB) and spend his energy on "Turning it around" or 2) Get rid/Bomb squad , so he can start "building from whats left + Signings & Youth" If possible, I know which way I'd go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ddid, sure there are another 4 or 5 ways. The above are 2 ends of the scale (imo) I hope he doesnt make the job more difficult than need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Probably pressing the panic button here but based on what I've seen pre-season there is a worrying familiarity to last season. The shape is poor, the midfield unable to dictate a match, very poor up front, an over-reliance on Hutton as our main outlet down the right hand side... A lot of work to do it seems, especially on the recruitment front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Totally agree on Hutton. Going forward it's just the same repetitive, generic stuff from him which ultimately goes nowhere. Gana, as always enthusiastic but that man cannot tackle. Andre Green is a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He may have talent but he looked somewhat lightweight and lacked a little awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It makes no sense to pay off the bad eggs now, may at least wait until window closes as someoneight come in for them and share the bill (if the intention is to offload them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
