latemodelchild Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Unless boro had last minute regrets about letting him go and did it on purpose then they'll be on our side as well. May come down to what the fa or league etc believes the hold up was. If both the clubs and the player want the move and its a case of minutes over then there's only one thing to stop it happening. Sometimes an organisation will follow the rules to the letter to stop a precedent being set. The league may say tough. If that happens then surely he isn't our player.

pazowl55 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If Boro have a legitimate reason for the delay in paperwork then I expect common sense to prevail. And also the fact we have this meeting today kind of says this was the case because otherwise they would have just said no to the transfer last night. No deal sheet wasn't in on time it says 11.05. This is what makes me think there are exceptional circumstances as if it was through Boro's negligence it would have been called off already.

Scunthorpe turned down at least £4m for a League One striker. Completely mental changes going on re player transfer fees at this level. The only way this could possibly be sustainable is if the clubs suddenly get a lot more money from a TV deal or similar OR if FFP is changed to take the shackles off wealthy owners while still protecting clubs (which is one good thing that FFP should do). I guess then it's a craps shoot to see who can get to the Prem the fastest. Bizarre times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only circumstances I have ever seen this scenario before is in work permit cases. He is ever our player or he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. How can managers talk to new players when they have a match to prepare / run. It will be OK.

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I can't see it being allowed as it will set a precedent for clubs in the future. It really is shocking that the paperwork wasn't entered in time when everyone knew when the deadline was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
