Nottingham Forest and the other 71 clubs in the Football League have been warned about the possibility of having their transfer dealings hijacked by other clubs due to new EFL regulations.
This year the league's transfer window falls into line with international regulations, which will see the window open on 10 June. No signings can be confirmed by clubs until that date.
That leaves over a month between the end of the Championship campaign and the transfer market reopening for business, although the Reds' season may extend to 21 May. For comparison, last year's window opened on May 24, 15 days after the end of the regular season.
