Yeah, personally I hate the windows. They inflate prices vastly and mean that teams end up settling for players they don't want, just because they're rushed into buying. Brings down the quality of the Premiership IMO.Yeah, I'm pretty sure players can be sacked outside the window. I suppose there could be a case for a team not being able to take on another's manager outside the window tho.
I'm not actually a fan of the windows tho, I used to enjoy all the speculation up to the deadline day throughout the season. Gave footy fans much needed hope!
eff the Premiership, the main impact has been on lower league. If they hadn't left us a limited loan market window, we'd all be up the creek most of the season. The transfer window is a joke - I'm with Brumby, it was better when it all built up to March's deadline day.Yeah, personally I hate the windows.

I'm sure if we were still in the lower leagues I'd feel the same way. The way we got in all sorts of randoms (Scott Wilson, anyone?) at times used to really annoy me, when we could have done a lot better.eff the Premiership, the main impact has been on lower league.

Mind you Matt, what you say is undoubtedly true.
Smaller clubs don't make money from free transfers though...Free Transfers happen outside the windows all the time anyway. No difference.
Who the hell is Scott Wilson? Some player I'm supposed to know but don't?I'm sure if we were still in the lower leagues I'd feel the same way. The way we got in all sorts of randoms (Scott Wilson, anyone?) at times used to really annoy me, when we could have done a lot better.
Haha, nope. He's just an example of one of the random, unheard-of players we signed in the transfer window when we were a lower division side, as we panicked amid an injury crisis. He was terrible.Who the hell is Scott Wilson? Some player I'm supposed to know but don't?
