To date no one has come in to loan any of our players and I wonder is it because no one outside our club rates our players or is it a financial issue?
I doubt it will be a financial reason but more to do with the fact that there are so many players available, as if it were financial both clubs would agree to each pay a % of the wages which is quite common. Thornton (Leyton Orient) on loan at Shrewsbury was recently sent back, even though they wanted to keep him for another 3 months (and what a good player he is), because Orient stopped paying there 50% of his wages and Shrewsbury couldn't afford to keep him on because of restrictions on wages/loans etc.
Its a complicated game this footballmanagement business and not as simple as some think.
