Noone again

The club website says about him not being eligible to play against Leyton Orient because he cant be registered. How have clubs managed to get over this by signing a player on loan for a couple of days and then permanently during that loan period. Why couldnt we have done the same?

 

[Insider]

Permanent signings have to be registered by 5pm the day before a match. This is impossible, as the window doesn't open until midnight tonight. Loan signings can be done up to three hours before kick-off, but are for a minimum of 28 days, so we wouldn't be able to complete the permanent deal until Jan 29th, and Plymouth wanted the deal done before then.
