A few weeks ago - Leeds Utd fielded six loan signings when the regulations state that the maximum allowed is five. The outcome of this is that Leeds were fined £2,000.
Bury have today been booted out of the FA Cup for fielding an in-elligible loan signing from Hartlepool in the second round against Chester; who now go on to face Ipswich in the 3rd round of the cup - and take the winnings from the second round tie.
Where's the consistency in this? I know they're different governing bodies but the disparity between the two punishments is ridiculous.
