I don't understand why the club voted against it when Clement himself is a very vocal advocate of the window closing b4 the start of the season. Baffling. |  |

Who called the vote in the first place ?
Probably the Siggy saga was part if all this.
Huwbert probably thinking new rules = less time. |  |

Didn't somebody on here previously mention that the club had altered the time at which they had to submit accounts to beyond the summer transfer window? Profits will now not look so good? | | | |

Transfers now have to be completed by the 9th August.The club's accounting year end is the 31st July.
Almost all the profits made this summer will appear in the accounts to 31st July 2018. The club would therefore have preferred a longer transfer window in August to push profits next year into the 2018/19 accounts. | |

From a football standpoint, it's good to have your transfers completed before the season kicks off and I would imagine that is what most coaches would like. However most of us don't understand the financial implications that may affect any club by changing the deadline date. This is probably why PC differs in his view of the change, to the way Swansea FC voted.
Who made the decision anyway, the board, the chairman, the owners? |  |

Huw needs as much time as possible. I suspect it would be constantly open if he had his way. Could turn his phone and go on holidays whenever he wants then ;-) |  |

The main reason to vote against it is that without the other countries following suit then they can still buy from us but we can't get replacements. | | | |

China will be happy and take Barca, lets say they drew Liverpool in the Champions League, they could buy their best players, weakening them without Liverpool being able to strengthen, the analogy is a bit far fetched, yes but its a mockery, one in, all in | | | |

Here's support for the club's position from Martin Samuel.
He thinks the PL clubs that have voted for it are akin to Turkeys voting for Christmas.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4863102/MARTIN-SAMUEL-turkeys-
"So a big round of applause for the Premier League’s stakeholders, who have turned scriptwriter and certainly ratcheted it up a notch next summer. On Thursday, at their annual meeting, 14 turkeys really did vote for Christmas. A majority of Premier League clubs decided that, no, they couldn’t be trusted to get their business done in reasonable time before the season started, and no, they couldn’t be relied upon not to unscrupulously raid a rival given the opportunity, so the transfer window would close the Thursday before next season begins.
August 9, 2018, at 5pm to be precise. So, with the World Cup final scheduled to take place on July 15, this gives English clubs little more than three weeks from tournament’s end to cessation of business; 25 days to get all their post-World Cup transfers done. Except it doesn’t.'
"This is a unilateral arrangement, meaning every major league in Europe gets more than three weeks once the English window closes to unsettle, raid, negotiate and generally steal a march on their Premier League rivals.
The English ban is on buying, not selling. So a squad can be weakened, but not improved. Players can still claim to be injured to force a move, agents can still make promises to wrangle their client a better deal abroad – this summer’s dramas around Philippe Coutinho or Diego Costa would be no different. We just can’t buy. It is quite the most foolish rule English football has passed, and there have been some contenders." | | | |

all said and done though when was the last time a big european club raided us?
I see this as being a much bigger problem for the top 6 or 7 sides and it may well play into our hands.
But yes it should be all in or none. | | | |

Well the fact that Huw won't be able to take his annual post season holiday so easily now (he should ideally be going on hols when the transfer window is closed) will probably have influenced the voting, as well as the fact that this makes it more difficult for him to attend the preseason jolly to USA as there will be work to be done in the office.
(Half) joking aside, will be interesting to get the reasons behind the club's vote against, surely the trust know the reasons and can communicate them to the members and the wider fan base (if the club themselves won't)? | | | |

Our vote against was nothing to do with the player retention or recruitment or what clement thinks benefital to the playing staff.
It was solely down to how quickly the Yanks and the sellout coont Jenkins could make the books look good for a sale and their asset stripping exercise.
There are still some on here who are total blind and clueless what is happening. |  |

I'm sure that I have seen an interview where Clement was advocating an earlier closing of the summer window. | | | |

Could have escalated any thing they weren't in agreement with.
Maybe even used the naughty step or as a final warning, the severe finger wagging |  |

So you think Renato Sanches would have signed for us on loan on 10th Aug, or would you believe he would have waited for a better offer? Given he could have stayed where he was. |  | | |
