| Five questions on the January transfer window Posted: 31 Jan 2011 05:54 AM PST My brother works at Heathrow . . . Why different end times? In England today, the transfer window finishes at 11.00pm. In Scotland it ends at midnight. Are we to assume that in the depths of the Highlands of Scotland people may struggle to complete administration in the cold climate? Or that Scottish clubs simply [...]
