Snowflake Royal
PieEater How is one club going to buy up all the talent to keep players from other clubs AND comply with the FFP rules?

How did Birmingham spend more than the entire rest of L1 in transfer fees and comply?

L1 rules allow for owner funding to count towards their SCMP limits (they've been made somewhat more stringent this season) of 60% of turnover being allowed to be spent on squad costs.

Effectively the rules are made redundant at this level should you have an owner who put funding into a club - arguably certain Championship clubs getting relegated would allow them to spend more money on their squad in League One (for a season) than they could in the Championship.

morganb We've made it through the International Break without any new players and without any new rumours...

Does that mean we're not interested in anyone?

Though I guess the free agent market keeps changing as Freddie Ladapo has just been released, as was Matty Carson yesterday

Can't you only sign free agents if they were already free agents when the window closed?


Correct - although I'm sure someone will challenge that at some point.

To be more accurate, you can sign a player who became a FA between windows however, he cannot be registered for the first team until the first day of the next window.

When a player leaves a club post window then there must be a pretty major issue or they are moving to a league where the window is still open i.e. Turkey or into non-league where the rules are more lax.
