Tbf to the club if it is a work permit holding everything up I don’t blame them for not saying anything.
The implication is that there is some complication/delay with the application. I think Maric and Cifuentes would be pretty straight forward since they have worked here recently or are currently working here.This is good news, brings Maric and Cifuentes back into play.
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.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.
yes cant blame club if that is the caseTbf to the club if it is a work permit holding everything up I don’t blame them for not saying anything.
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.
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.
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.True but I’ve literally never heard of that happening for a manager at this level. You’d have to be really obscure.

Take the tin foil hat off lad, they would’ve leaked it further than fishpasteOr the club are leaking that to Fishpaste to buy more time![]()
Knowing our luck though, would’ve just given more ammo to be shot withA lot of clubs announce managers pending work permits to be fair.
I'm sure I've seen a couple of British clubs do it this summer.
CorrectCifuentes would still need a work permit I think because you need to reapply every time you change jobs? I may be wrong there but that is my understanding.

Done.
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 alternativesFishpaste 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
That gets said to me regularly on this board but I like to play it down. I’m too modest.Legend
