The Championship 2012/2013

Something to do with the former Chairman I think.

Financial "irregularities". Mostly around third-party involvement in the Danny Graham transfer.

I thought the odd quirk of the loan system that they (legally and rightly) exploited had been removed for next season. I may have imagined it.

I don't think it's been removed *yet*.

As per this article:

The League appear to agree, and have recommended change which will be voted on at their AGM this summer – to include international loan players within the five permitted, and a maximum of four from any one club. After those proposed changes, Watford would not be able to field so many on-loan players.

 

[FryattFox]

Does their transfer embargo apply to loans as well, do you know?

I think it does, but any transfer can still be approved by the FL at their discretion.

 

[Longcliffe]

The Watford previous owner/chairman even tweeted after the game saying that he was delighted that they had lost.
I think that Watford now have only 14 registered players, having not signed them in January.

Just been looking at the Watford embargo and they can still sign players, they just have to be approved by the league, which I imagine they will.

Are transfers not normally 'approved by the league'? Seems a bit odd if they aren't.

on the radio today they said as the 31st August falls on a Saturday the transfer window will stay open until the 2nd September, with Watford's embargo finishing on the 31st they would have two days to sign players, presumably with deals they would already have lined up

Exciting. I wonder who they'll bring in as manager.

I wonder who they'll bring in to coach the players' torsos and ankles.

Very good.

Reading have signed Wayne Bridge.

 

[M17TT C]

Harry won't be happy with that and I'd be very surprised if he was still QPR manager come the start of the season.

About Wayne Bridge? Why? Feel like I've missed something here.
