Loan Market arrangements
Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2024 1:51 pm
Isn't it about time that the entire loan market and it's rules received an in depth look and new rules are enforced...
As it stands at the moment ( as I understand it) a club can loan out one of its players to another club on a 12 month contract BUT that contract can be broken and the loanee returned to their parent club and immediately loaned out again after just 6 months.
If a club agree to a 12 month deal then they should honour that. After all in some cases a loan fee is payable based on a 12 month arrangement.
Clubs like ours suffer as they are not made aware until the loan approaches 6 months ( ) if the player will be recalled forcing the affected club to make prior arrangements to replace the individual(s) which the club may or may not complete a new loan agreement affecting the proposed loanee and his future development.
It looks as though we will be without the services of all our loan players forcing our club into seeking new arrangements with other clubs which could have an effect on our remaining season to date. It is of course possible that the influx of new players could have a positive outcome BUT if we have to replace up to 5 players in our case then that is questionable if the outcome going forward will be positive.
For me the entire arrangements and agreements between clubs should be revised and if a club agrees to loaning a player for 12 months then that should be honoured.
