Transfer Embargo still in place

Last updated : 05 August 2003 By Rob Davies
However, if Billy Dearden cannot field 16 fit players, the club can approach the league & ask for short-term/loan transfers.

The Football League would have to give permission for this to happen and this would depend on cost implications & submitting medical reports on unfit players.

However, this could be a problem as Notts lack of players has nothing to do with injuries.

If Notts couldn't play any of the players that are not signed on contracts, Steve Jenkins, Clive Platt, Tony Barras & Simon Baldry plus players still to sign from last season, Michael Brough, Ian Richardson & Saul Deeney & Darren Caskey's suspension, Notts' line-up would be something along the lines of:
Mildenhall
McFaul, Fenton, Bostock, Nicholson.
Francis, Bolland, Baraclough, Riley.
Stallard, Heffernan.

Lets hope Notts are allowed to loan at least a couple of the players before Saturday.
