The Football League has finally recieved some good news. The transfer window that closes on 31 August will not apply to Nationwide clubs.

The Independent reports that FIFA has decided to scrap this ruling for Nationwide clubs for the next two years.

The Football League and The FA requested the move to FIFA as the window could affect already damaged incomes, from the ITV collapse.

After 31 August Division 1, 2 and 3 teams will be able to sell or loan players whilst the Premiership and the rest of Europe won't be able to bring any faces in.
