Dodgy = against the rules. They have sold the player registration so something has changed hands. I agree owners having multiple clubs gives scope for being creative but all businesses constantly look at what they can do legally to benefit themselves.
Lol. No its not. Against the rules = against the rules.

A dodgy car salesman isn't breaking any law, but they're doing things which are a bit underhand and dishonest - same is happening here.
What you have described is essentially dodgy, as it is trying to use a loophole to circumnavigate FFP rules which are in place. The rules which are in place should stop something like this happening. Added to the fact this is happening right after another big transfer deal fell through, come on? You'd have to be the most rose-tinted glasses Watford fan ever to think that nothing underhand is going on here.
A player is registered at one club, who's owners own another club. Essentially nothing has changed hands, the player is still registered to the Pozzi family at the top level.
Someone who is ‘dishonest’ is doing something against the rules !
Exploiting a loop hole is not dishonest, it’s what every company tries to find.
The player isn’t registered to the Pozzi family, Only clubs can hold player registrations.
Clearly they are doing something to ensure they don’t fall foul of FFP but they are using legal methods to do it.
He essentially is registered to the family though, if they're just going to bounce his registration between clubs, without anything actually happening. If he ends up playing more than 5 games for Udinese I'll be staggered.
Again, doing something legal can also mean it is dodgy. Not to get too overboard, but the age of consent in UK is 16, legally a 16 year old can have sex and be in a relationship with someone older, maybe 18 or 19. That is legal but would still be considered pretty dodgy.
