First Jedi 0 Posted September 1, 2009 You really think the FA works till 12 midnight?It''s always been 5pm - except for large or rich clubs, who can stretch it a couple of hours or days as needed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrimmage 0 Posted September 1, 2009 No it used to be midnight, we got sibierski at about 11pm, oh what a signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries Utd 0 Posted September 1, 2009 i remember the transfer window when a player was purcahsed by Man Utd, and you could see the player and his agent well into the darkness of evening as Sky cameras camped outside. Can''t remember the actual player though, i''m sure it was a later time last window, and in some circumstances it was opened to the following day due to the snow???

Ian 1,118 Posted September 1, 2009 [quote user="Canaries Utd"]has it always been such specific time? i always thought it was the whole 24 hrs in the day?[/quote]Isn''t it because they''ve extended it from yesterday, due to it being a bank holiday - I seem to recall a similar thing before?

Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted September 1, 2009 I think it''s because it''s been extended from yesterday due to it being bank holiday monday, like they did in January. If the 31/08 was a normal business day it would have run until midnight. Correct me if I''m wrong of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCanary 0 Posted September 1, 2009 It''s usually midnight, but it was extended to 5pm today because yesterday was Bank Holiday Monday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kissthebadge 0 Posted September 1, 2009 It usually is midnight on the 31st of August/ 1st of September for this transfer window. However, as that date was a bank holiday this year, it was extended to 5 pm today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panic 0 Posted September 1, 2009 They did exactly the samething in January because of all that snow we had.Interesting to see what clubs have to do to complete a transfer in SSN. A carbon copy of all paper work involved MUST be sent to the FA before the deadline and work permits also have to be completed. I feel sorry for the guy who has to sort all of this out while the player is already spending his large signing on fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
