The amazing life before transfer windows - Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle United nufc epl
Opinion30 seconds agoCan you remember how managed to cope without a Sky Sports deadline day special and countdown clock?I find it quite amazing that we are now just two decades into this transfer windows era, first introduced for the 2002/02 season .
It is quite laughable the circus that has built up now, in terms of the media coverage of transfer ‘exclusives’…maybe in this Sky Sports / Premier League era, if things hadn’t changed, then we would have been subjected to the nonsense for eleven months. As feasibly, your club might buy somebody in October, or December, or March…
A year later, KK repeated his trick of bringing players in late in the previous season to prepare for the next, Ruel Fox signed in February 1993 and Darren Peacock in March 1994.Whencame in, players such as Gary Speed arrived in February 1998 and Nikos Dabizas signed in March 1998. Your memory does play tricks but I’m sure that back in the day, speculation and media stories of possible transfers was not a fraction of what it is now. Cramming everything into a few months in the summer and then each January, has made it a very different animal. There is always a countdown to something, whether it is a window opening or set to close.
