I do not understand why there is such a delay regarding a decision with this player. I have read that his papers were received '35 seconds' beyond the deadline. If true, then he cannot be allowed to play for us until January, rules are rules; end of story....? Why is it taking almost a week for the EFL or FA to make a decision? Simply too silly for words. If l recall, l think a player at Leicester was in the same position a season or two ago, and they were told straight away that the player had been registered too late, why is our position any different?
Appealing Simply send an image of when the email/paperwork/whatever was sent, if it was before 5pm he can join, if after he can't. Surely it can't be any more complicated than that?
Unfortunately as I understand it the rules don't say anything about when the paperwork was sent, but only when it was received. Even if Charlton could prove their paperwork was sent 30 hours before the deadline (let alone 30 seconds) if the authorities can prove it only arrived with them seconds after 5pm on Thursday, we don't have a leg to stand on. If that is the case (and they have that proof) I can't see how an appeal could succeed. But as usual there is probably room for the kind of wrangling and negotiations that will never make much sense to us fans. Perhaps we will yet get our man, but I'm not confident.
Who is that this week, the tea lady or the toilet attendant? Collaborators - they should have walked away years ago
Cawley - Lee Bowyer is pretty frustrated about the Hemed situation. Says TH is regularly on the phone to Steve Gallen, asking what is going on ? Oh dear...
you'd think this would be the sort of query a temp could answer. was the paperwork submitted by the deadline? yes/no. deal or no deal. would take 1 minute to look at the evidence
The paperwork was sent before the deadline as an e mail attachment. It was received after the deadline. https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/...getting-answers-on-deal-for-brighton-striker/ For the FA not to have looked at it yet is diabolical. I see that Oztumer has won his appeal against Bolton and has ripped up his contract. I wonder if RD will push the boat out and get him.
But an e-mail arrives as soon as it is sent?? The EFL messing Douchatelet about because of his verbal attacks on them? Stranger things have happened.
Sadly quite a few emails don't arrive instantly after they are sent. I don't know why but I have experienced delays of minutes (occasionally a few hours) between the sending and receiving time of emails. And a few never arrive.
What @lardiman says. Some emails are held up by traffic, temporarily loss of Internet connectivity. Not all emails are instant. The problem is that there is a deadline and for whatever reason we missed that deadline.
