I've worked for clubs in the past that would get wp in place during negotiations. I'm not sure if city are being a bit lapse here or if Norwich are pro active.
Had his first success for Plymouth before he was even appointed. By doing so badly when at Birmingham they ended getting relegated and not Plymouth.
Id say we're being a bit lapse, but we have an owner who seems to have way to many other interests and businesses that all need full time attention as well as us.
That is the problem with having a globe trotting club owner, making TV shows, meeting UEFA dignitaries, purchasing other clubs and being elected to the board of Fenerbahçe. Just needs to focus more...
Acun will have very little to do with this other than to be available to announce the signing. Tan and his team will be sorting out all the details.
I’m pretty sure Acun has a good relationship with someone in the Turkish embassy, I saw some Instagram posts a while back. Wonder if they help push along the work permits? Edit: Apologies it’s the Consul General and HM Trade Commissioner for Eastern Europe and Central Asia based in Istanbul, not the embassy.
Well obviously, but in saying that he also seems to want/need to be involved in way more then most owners.....
I wonder if he’s the guy who got to ask acun a question at the “evening with acun” event, and wasted with a question about Harry Vaughan
Well I assume he would have some useful contacts within government considering he was previously Deputy Trade Commissioner for Europe. Is it too outlandish to say maybe that same someone deals with work permits for more than one country?
