GAMBLOG UK - WE ARE QPR - Ian Holloway Is Unhappy About New Fifa Transfer Rules

Ian Holloway Unhappy With With Fifa Over New Transfer Rules.

QPR Manager Ian Holloway has condemned FIFA for their plans to impose a severe restriction on the movements of English league clubs in the transfer market.

Under the current system, Coca-Cola Championship clubs and those from Leagues One and Two are free to buy, sell and loan players at any point in the year.

But world football's governing body aims to bring the football league into line with the Barclays Premiership, whose clubs are allowed to conduct transfers only during the summer and in January, from next season.

'I think it's an absolutely crazy rule,' said Holloway. 'I think they sit in their little glass houses and throw stones everywhere else.

'The rule as it stands now is killing us. Every time I ring a Premiership club, they are unwilling to loan players because they are trading in a market place that closes down for much of the season.

'I think it is ridiculous, and whoever invented it should have nothing to do with football.'
