The Football League will fight any plans FIFA have on imposing the current transfer regulations on the Nationwide League. The Football League will continue fighting against FIFA as the worlds football governing body is set to introduce the regulations on the Nationwide League.

At the moment Nationwide clubs are excluded and free to carry on wheeling and dealing in the transfer market , but the Premier League and most of the worlds league are under strict transfer guidelines , they can only buy or sell at the end of the season upto August 31st and in the month of January.

Thats all well and good for the top teams but if this was carried into the Nationwide Leagues, teams could go out of business quicker as they would need to sell to pay wages and just survive.

Fifa are set vote on December 17th on the ruling but clubs are very worried about the sitaution.

Speaking to BBC online Football League spokesman said "We don't see any reason why the domestic transfer system should be changed, and we cannot see any benefits to the new system. It just seems absolutely unnecessary."

At present clubs can loan from there top flight friends and can buy outright after the loan spell finishes , but if Blatter and his buddies impose this regulation watch out for teams going into liquidation.
