They have a ban on signing players over the age of 21, also the 'loophole' isn't really one, it can only be used in emergencies and even then football associations tend to be reluctant, it's normally only for goalkeepers.

Remember the last time they signed 2 in loan from Liverpool. Ended up being really cheap as they didn't pay Liverpool what they were due - over 40 grand.
If they brought one in, a more experienced player, how on earth would they pay them anyway?
Correct ! Their reserve goalie/coach and Mcgowan off to China went out and they were allowed to sign Wilson and Ngoo as loans from Liverpool as long as the wages were no more than the outgoing pair.
Well the last part of the deal was kept, ..... paid Liverpool F.A. :greengrin
Skacel can't sign as he's over 21 have I got that right?
I don't think the rule says anything like that. It says one out/one in which the board will consider on a case by case basis. Don't think there's anything about the contract. That was part of their punishment at the end of 2012/start of 2013 - that they could only replace "like for like." I'm sure that was a one-off punishment made up at that time and not part of the new rules which came into play in the summer.
I hope they do sign big nose so he gets relegated with the tramps!

If that's the case, hopefully Zaliukus will be one of them as his current going rate must be nothing. What a performance for Leeds at the weekend, error strewn and never tried a leg. Suspect he has played his last game for Leeds - fans don't appear that happy with him.
I'm sure I heard/seen Doncaster say that today.
Edit here it is......

However SPFL rules allow for teams under the embargo to apply to replace players who have left on a comparable or lower salary, at the league board's discretion.
It's a common theme in the MSM, especially Ewan Murray, when talking about the reason for Hearts downfall that they put forward euphemisms like "business problems", "UGBIG's profits fell" and the ultimately vague "Global recession".
No one from their side is interested at all that Romanov is a fugitive, wanted for serious financial fraud.

I saw Doncaster on TV tonight perpetrating the myth that everyone associated with the Yams' misdemeanours has left the club. That would be everyone except the Chief Executive, self-sufficient Southern who has been there for 40 months, ie nearly 3 years before Yams entered Admin. We demand transparency & accuracy!
To an extent. I think the failure of Vlad's plan lies very much at his own door. His stated plan was to filter players through Hearts/Kaunas to the EPL, with the hope being he could return the money to UKIO - and the ordinary/corporate investors there would be none the wiser that he splashing their cash. The most productive part of his "empire", the Birac Plant failed (as you say because of the recession) hamstringing him, but he did far more damage himself with his behaviour at Hearts. If he had left a professional to manage the club he could have coined in some dough with transfer fees, far more than he actually did. The tampering, tinkering and faxing he got up to ensured Hearts underperformed, they should have done far better given the money spent - the up and down nature of their form and shoving too many players through the club meant the transfer money dried up after the male lesbian and the guy they sold to the Baggies. Then again maybe such a plan didn't exist and he was happy to tinker with everything as he was only washing others people's money.
There really is some mind-boggling posts on Yakbak tonight
My vote goes to David Attenborough who has to be the biggest
Numpty who really should not be out without his full-time carer

" Doncaster is adamant the embargo will remain in place until Hearts exit administration, but he insists the club can register new players on the one in, one out policy which applied to the signing of defender Danny Wilson in June last year. "
" Hearts can bring forward an application to register an individual player," Doncaster said, "and to do so, simply need to let us see the contract and to make it clear which player they are replacing, as they did with Danny Wilson last summer. "
There`s a registration embargo in place but they CAN sign players. Says nowt about 'exceptional circumstances' there. Says they just need to let the SPFL see the contracts.
So....the point of this embargo is what, exactly?
