The Original transfer window
Who says museums haven’t got a sense of humour? Here the National Football Museum showed theirs with this brilliant tribute to the ‘original transfer window.’
“Football League bosses would have to open the window and shout the names of the players about to be transferred through the open window. According to FA rules, as long as no one shouted back to question the proposed transfer the clubs involved were then allowed to proceed with the deal,” as quoted by Goal.
“And the Transfer Window system has as many detractors as it has fans in the Beautiful Game. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says it is unfair. French legend Michel Platini believes it is damaging and QPR manager Harry Redknapp has even likened it to ‘gang warfare’.”
