One of Leeds United’s Championship rivals have called for a big change to the transfer window system. Coventry City boss Mark Robins feels clubs should be able to trade all year round.
The Sky Blues chief has expressed his frustration with the current system that sees the market remain open until the back end of August – three weeks into the start of the season. Robins, who led Coventry to the FA Cup semi-final last year, wants the transfer window to be scrapped.
Robins was unhappy with the way he felt attacking midfielder Kasey Palmer “forced” his deadline day move to Hull City, leaving the club unable to react in time to get in a replacement. Speaking to our sister title CoventryLive, Robins said: “I’d rather there not be a transfer window and go back to be able to do transfers any time. But if we are going to have a transfer window it shouldn’t be during the season.
“As soon as the season starts it’s got to shut. It makes sense. It doesn’t make sense when you get situations like with Burnley, who started the season and now they have got a different team.
