Interesting article explaining the system, with the added bonus of a photograph of a grinning Greg Abbott

Was meant to come in a couple of years back, our FA has had a couple of extensions, had a good crack with Abbott about this after a forum once.

Should have to name your squad on August 1st and be done...

Will this bring about a move back to reserve football? Clubs will need slightly bigger squads to cover for injuries/suspensions, but at the same time will want to make sure they're getting enough football.

A pre-requisite for League Membership should be the fielding of a reserve team in a proper set-up...

Not saying I disagree, but I reckon there be an issue with certain employment laws and restricting the freedom of movement of employees, ie the players.

Does that not already happen though given that players cannot find alternative employment for the majority of the year?

I can't remember why the windows were introduced now but what have been the benefits?

As in the real world it should be:
Sign a contract and both sides should be made to follow it through unless both sides agree to terminate
Out of contract and you can go wherever anyone is willing to have you.
