They could well agree the transfer, but stipulate we have to buy Bernie Slaven as well, and put him in the Kop Band. At least that may improve the quality of the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're already saying this here at work. Reminding us of a couple of players they tried to sign on deadline day but didn't make deadline on time. Something to do with a fax machine.

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I feel knackered this morning. Kept waking in the night and checking my phone. I just really hope the FA use common sense for a change and let the deal go through, however it's the FA we are talking about so I'm not holding my breath.

southportdc Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Would assume that the fact there is a meeting means the paperwork wasn't submitted in time and they need to consider mitigating circumstances. No need for a meeting to check the time of assume correspondence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 From what I've read it sounds like Boro were late putting their paperwork in? If that's the case they should be punished, maybe they only should receive a 5 million fee :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Can't wait for the 310 page conspiracy theory thread "DID Jordan Rhodes ever sign for Sheffield Wednesday?" that will follow this farce... :D Alternatively, I'll just take an approved signing and be done with it and welcome the fella!

Saxondale Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If it was us as the buying club that failed to get their act together in time before the deadline, I could sort of understand the FL saying "tough shitt". But surely as it was the selling club, common sense should prevail here? Although I realise there isn't much of that in football's hierarchy.

SXOwl Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So the worst-case scenario is that he's our player, we pay his wages, but he can't play for us until next season because Boro didn't sign the paperwork in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 3 hours ago, themaskedowl said: oh, just one more thing. Does anyone else think it's strange that we could get Rhodes (almost) for 10 million while Villa have bought an alternate for 15 million (or is that figure not accurate)? JR must have not wanted to go to Villa after all as it seems they had the cash to get him in if they really wanted to. Maybe money isn't the only thing to consider (not that I ever thought it was). Put some perspective on it, £10m for a proven goal scorer at this level. Scunthorpe turned down at least £4m for a League One striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 In situations like this, it has to be more likely that it's off. The governing bodies certainly owe us a favour after some recent decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
