Emergency loans

FA and FIFA to discuss extending emergency loans for extra season

The Football Association will talk to FIFA this week about extending the emergency loan system which many lower league clubs believe is vital to their existence.

World governing body Fifa plans to end the system, which allows clubs to sign players outside of the two transfer windows, at the end of this season.

The FA hopes to persuade Fifa to extend emergency loans to the end of 2015-16.

Nearly 350 players have already been signed on emergency loan this season.

Only two of the 72 Football League clubs - Leeds and Reading - have not used the system so far.

They need to just abolish transfer windows altogether.

It's handy to have a way of inhibiting clubs doing rather questionable things.

If the title race ended up going to the last day of the season, Chelsea sending Cech on loan to whoever's playing their closest rival could be rather appealing.

Loans should be banned.

Loans should be banned.

The loan system can be great for a players development. However, the system can be abused with teams sending out experienced first team players on loan in an attempt to strengthen teams that play their rivals.

There's a fine line, and definitive rules should be in place to stop this sort of thing happening.

Why is everybody talking about loans when the article (and the thread topic) is about the emergency loans?

Personally, I don't see the harm in emergency loans and no idea why FIFA has put its nose somewhere when it has no bussiness to do so. Can't FA just say feck off to them?
