Transfer window opened too early


Recommended Posts

I read it in the official Premier League handbook for this season

The winter window is 1st Jan to 31st Jan

Summer window is from the last day of the season to the 31st August

Also, the closing day is extended if it falls on a weekend I believe

As for any news, I've never read any, I only checked the handbook after I noticed the different window and could find no news on the web (but then finding that type of news is bloody difficult since all the search engines want to talk about is past transfers and rumours)

Edit: Just opened it up and here is a direct quote

2. The first Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on the last day of the Season and shall end on 31st August next if a Working Day or, if not, on the first Working Day thereafter, at a time to be determined by the Board.

3. The second Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on 31st December and shall end on 31st January next if a Working Day or, if not, on the first Working Day thereafter, at a time to be determined by the Board.

I will add, that the whole 1st July thing is actually an international transfer window, which I believe means no transfers should occur between nations before that date

But I can't be certain of it

What I find annoying is that the window opens but the transfer budget is not decided until late june.

I agree.. Especially when you've spent most of it..

You guys talked us out of getting to see a lovely picture. I hope you're very happy.

Haha, why do you want to see the picture of a transfer window opening so bad :D

Different leagues have different transfer windows actually.

I remember Scotland and Holland having similar arrangements with England, I think.

But most of the first division European leagues kept in line with the international windows

However, some are beginning to move away from it for the summer one, but I'm still sure the Scottish SPL summer window still opens on 1st July, it's just that no type of transfer regulations are mentioned in the official handbook on the SPL site
