The EFL rules on loans make interesting reading https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/section-6---players/
The relevant bits are shown below:
54.4.1 A maximum of 5 Players registered on a Temporary Loan Transfer can be named in the Players listed on a team sheet for any individual match played under the auspices of The League. This maximum shall reduce to 4 Players where a Club names a Player on the team sheet who is registered on an Emergency Goalkeeper Loan;
54.4.2 No Club may sign more than 4 Players on a Temporary Loan Transfer from another Club (or club) in any Season, of which no more than 2 Players may be over the age of 23.
Looking at this we could find a partner club in say League One and send four of our youngsters to them for a season. That team's fans would still retain their club and all it's history and could be turned into promotion contenders which would quiet any dissenting voices. No doubt other teams in that division would complain but the smart ones would try and make similar arrangements with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal etc.
For example, Callum Doyle is on loan at Sunderland who have significant gaps in the rest of their squad. If we had also sent them Tommy Doyle, Morgan Rogers and say Claudio Gomes then they would be far stronger and our lads would benefit from playing/socialising with players they already know.
