Anyone know how many loan players are allowed per season?

I know you are only allowed so many per match squad, but how many can a team loan in a season.
I seem to remember when Blackpool got promoted they had quite a few that year and a lad at work reckons that there is a limit to how many you can have now.
Thanks.

 

Now there is a question!

Is it something like 3 season long loans and then a futher 5 short loans...................

 

Dunno because we had a few last season didnt we? I had no idea if there was a limit at all.

 

I think the only limit is in the match day squad; not sure if there is one for the entire squad.

 

You try to understand it

No there is 100% a limit!

Not sure but like I said it is some like 3 season long loan signings along with up to 5 short term loans (6 months and less)

 

section 53.1.3

So if I read that right , you can have 4 players over 23 and 4 players under 23 on "standard loans", but only 2 over 23 from the same club, each season. Players that sign full time after the loan do not count in the figures.
Then you have emergency loans to add.

 

Thats how I read it but i'm normally wrong.

 

That explains why we got Nouble etc last season, their age!!!

 

Good point. Tommy Tyke must love it when a player gets injured after he knows we've already had 4 over 23's

 

Looks like it checks out.
This season so far...
Over 23:
Tonge
Addison

Under 23:
Smith
Drinkwater
Park
Ranger

Last season...
Over 23:
Harewood
Hayes
McShane
O'Connor

Under 23:
Arismendi
Nouble
Trippier
Wood

 

So Hill is after an over 23 player to loan then!
I thought we had a lot more loans last season than this season, but it seems its only 2 , weird!!!

 

Matt Hill was another

 

Twelvety

 

He did not count as we signed him on a permanant contract, even though it was only till end of season and O`Connor too.

 

Both the sniffer, and the left back were originally signed on loan. Just that

 

And as they were both then signed on permanant contracts they dont count in your loan stats. Fooking daft if you ask me, they were loans but they dont count after.

 

Ohhh, I see.
I get you now.
And yes, fooking daft. But thats nowt new with football and its governance

 

Can anyone explain how we've managed to sign 5 players under 23 on loan this season? I read the rules to say that the maximum is four and that as far as I can tell is the limit we've operated to in the past.
