From the Guardian
"Sandro was properly registered with the Premier League and so there is no case for QPR being retrospectively punished for fielding an ineligible player. Sandro made 17 league appearances last season, scoring one goal."
It appears (according to that newspaper), he had a work permit, but his residency permit run out.But that in turn actually invalidates his work permit....
It is the players responsibility to take care of that, but it is often the club that pushes it through.
It is amateurish, to say the least....and will knock on to his contract, which may be null and void, which may be a good or bad thing for us (he is suppose to be on £50,000 a week (I thought we had stopped that)...and could result in a HO ban from "sponsoring" non-EU players. Is that a big issue at the current time??

IF we are not allowed to sign non-euro players, how would that affect Ale Faurlin signing a new contract?
Maybe that would be permitted as he already has a residency & work permit? Or maybe he holds a Euro passport?

Farcical. Are we still paying his wages while he is in limbo?
am i the only one who'd be prepared to keep Sandro on in the championship (if he was up for it) ? Injuries apart he hasn't been too bad. I think we're just tarring him with the HR brush.
Reduced wages obviously.
I don't think he was bad a'tall Wats. When he did play I thought he played well. Problem is he's a crock and is unlikely to play that much so its largely irrelevant anyway.

I think people remember his better performances too fondly. Admittedly playing with Barton and Henry often against three players isn't ideal but for me the winnable games were when he was really needed and when he didn't show up.

Ridiculous he's asking the question through Twitter. Think we need to move on from players like him.
the ridiculous thing is we're answering him through twitter - why haven't the club phoned the ****ing geezer up privately and told him whats going on. madness.
For me he did a lot of good defensive work to make him worth keeping, if his visa and pay are reasonable.am i the only one who'd be prepared to keep Sandro on in the championship (if he was up for it) ? Injuries apart he hasn't been too bad. I think we're just tarring him with the HR brush.

I don't think he really played enough to completely judge him tbh - i think he probably deserves the benefit of the doubt as he was on his way back from injury for a fair portion of those games.
