I read that lower league clubs can sign players from abroad that wouldn't qualify for a work permit. If that is true then how about we do a deal with a higher league club to sign such a player that the higher league club wants and then loan him to that club?

Why wouldn't the bigger club just go and sign the player themselves?
The foreign market is certainly an area to tap into and if we are smart enough we could add some real value to the squad.
I've spotted several players playing in the Italian Serie C (and other leagues abroad) that could potentially be quality for a club in League One and if some of the transfers gone through this summer are anything to go by then there could be a bargain or two to be had.
For example, the 23-year-old GK Davide Barosi went for £220k from Juve Stabia to Serie B Ascoli and the 26-year-old centre forward Facundo Lescano scored 20 goals for Pescara last season, but loaned to fellow Serie C club Triestina this summer with a future £300k fee agreed. Similar quality players would probably go for double, triple or even more than that in this country.
Good explainer about new rules on following link...

If what has been claimed is correct then the higher league club can't make the signing as they wouldn't get a permit. However, if it's true the lower league club can make such a signing there seems nothing to prevent them from then loaning the player to a higher league club.

A loan is still a signing.

It would seem an unfair restriction of trade if that person is refused the opertunity to work for a higher level company in the same industry and in the same country as already working.

The permit rules are the same for Premier League and Football League clubs as far as I'm aware. |

Thought I read somewhere that the rules are slightly different in that L1 & L2 clubs could make 2 such signings but Championship and above could make 4 … or maybe I didn’t read it right? |

However n ot all Prem/Championship clubs will get their maximum number of slots for next season (24/25), and subsequent seasons will depend upon the percentage of minutes that the clubs give to EQP (England Qualified Players). As a result of the rules being brought in now, without clubs knowing about this in advance, there has been one calculation done for the 2023/24 season, and a different set of criteria for subsequent seasons.
These are important details contained in the article I posted previously too... Attachment Deleted
