The reason playing staff have a transfer window at a specific time when football clubs can buy, sell, or loan players, was introduced to ensure competition integrity, maintain squad stability, and prevent constant, disruptive, year-round trading.
The relevant words are "Competition integrity" which refers to the ethical standards, rules, and principles ensuring a competition is fair, honest, and just, where outcomes are determined primarily by participant skill rather than external manipulation. It involves ensuring a level playing field, enforcing rules consistently, and maintaining trustworthiness in sports and business.
Nottingham Forest have had 4 managers, West Ham 2, Spurs 3 Man Utd 2, Wolves 2, and Chelsea 2.
Burnley, who have just been relegated, could have a legitimate claim that Forest, West Ham and Spurs, may easily ended up below them if their managers had not been changed.
The constant changing of managers during the competition should be curtailed, to maintain the competitions integrity.
It would not be beyond the wit of a administration to come up with rules and regulations to cover all possibilities during a season.
