QPR manager Ian Holloway believes the transfer window should be scrapped for teams below the Premier League.
And he has described the use of a transfer window for Football League clubs as "utterly wrong".
Under the terms of the current arrangement, no clubs are allowed to make permanent transfers after 11pm on August 31 until the window re-opens in January.
It was revealed this week that Premier League clubs will discuss the proposed introduction of a new summer transfer window that closes before the opening game of next season.
But Holloway feels that, while such protocols may be a benefit in the top levels of European football, it will stifle clubs beneath that.
"I think the rules need to be changed back to what they used to be in this country," he said. "Because I'm telling you it doesn't work.
"On the coal face it doesn't work, we don't need it. I would like our Football Association, and the Football League, to stand up to these people and say our football was fine how it was thank you.
"People will be out of work soon. Clubs won't be able to take them because the window has slammed shut, you can't get anything and it's totally wrong.
"All of us managers know it's wrong, everybody knows it's wrong at our level. Not the Premier League, our level. It's totally and utterly wrong.
"I'm disgusted in our football. It's not good enough. People are scared to speak about what's happening.
"I can't get players in if we have injuries. For me it's stopping people work."
