Announcing players is slightly different as the Home Office have agreed a specific threshold / points system which gives a level of confidence of players being granted a work permit.

Such a system doesn't exist for non-playing staff, so there's no guarantee of success.
It'd give the club a bit of a grace period though. It would tell us that we have someone in place but the wait it out of their hands. If it's rejected it's not the clubs fault and we would know this. A delay and we know the reason why.

What if it gets rejected and there's ANOTHER delay whilst we agree on somebody else. If we're kept in the dark still it's just going to exacerbate rumours and cause more angst that nothing is happening
 
I doubt we'd be getting frustrated at the process of renewing a permit for Cifuentes considering he already has one and the job change is at the same level.

Sounds to me like someone who needs their first permit.

True but I’ve literally never heard of that happening for a manager at this level. You’d have to be really obscure.
 
Sad to see this sort of stuff starting already, before he's even been appointed (which I think he will be). He stands no chance from the off.

I was only joking to be honest. I don't particularly want him, and would be pretty frustrated, but he'd still get my backing...as there's no point turning on him until he actually is **** for us.

My guess is they are frustrated at the time it takes not the actual process of it. Thorup at Norwich took around a week I think between when stories leaked about him needing one and when he was officially announced.
 
how do you get twitter links to preview in here?
Click on the dots in the top right hand corner of the Twitter post and then Embed Post. Then click embedded post. Then click copy code.

Then you come back to this comment box and paste it in that media symbol at the top.

Done.

Fishpaste clearly gets leaked stuff from the club so I might be clutching at straws but I'm taking that as meaning we've chosen our guy and we're waiting on the home office to do their thing
Hope Fishpaste is right. That said if I was using someone on Twitter to disseminate info I'd hope to find someone less of a flange... Copley, What The Falk or even Roker Report better alternatives
