Blackpool boss Ian Holloway says the transfer windows system does club's like his no favours.
He wrote in his column for the Independent on Sunday: "Roll on the end of the transfer window, it is a horrible time. I need to sign half-a-dozen players before the end of play on Tuesday because our squad is so short on numbers.
"Thanks a bunch is all I can say.
"It is the worst thing that I have ever had to try and do because I can't begin to describe how hard it is to sign one football player, let alone the amount that I need. You see those great big blokes in the World's Strongest Man competition pulling a truck, and that's how I feel. And that's just getting one player in.
"It is bad for your family situation because you are on the phone all the time. I was trying to have a meal with my wife Kim the other night and my mobile was going non-stop. It is just unbelievably rude.
"The reason we need so many players is because no one expected to go up. You do not scout for players who are earning double what your squad is when you are in the Championship because you don't know you will definitely have that extra money."
