Torgeir Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 6 minutes ago, davulsukur said: Pretty sure GB said no one had ever won the appeal before (following the O'Brien fiasco) so it would seem totally pointless appealing this when it inevitably gets rejected. Although the situations are slightly different, an appeal just pointlessly drags it out in some horrifically cringe inducing manner. They appealed as a courtesy to O’Brien who couldn’t play for either Forest nor Rovers at the time. It ‘worked out’ eventually with MLS being an option. This time I doubt we’ll appeal and will work on a summer move instead. McGuire can continue playing for Orlando in the meanwhile. The EFL really made a mess I think, it’s okay to be strict but they should take more consideration to the player in question. Big fine for Rovers and play on. Imo.

Surely, the "best" solution is for them to draw a line under it, write it off and sell up, rather than continuing to stack more and more on top? Something has told me - for a long time - that they’d rather see it burn than admit they got it wrong. That’s the issue for me. If they go unchecked, they will let it die. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TommyRovers Posted February 5 Popular Post Share Posted February 5 Just a minor update... And one that has blown my mind. Some of the forms needed to register McGuire were lying on top of the fax machine and hadn't been sent. Whether these were visa, international clearance/registration I do not know. The club sent all relevant forms to the EFL and went ahead with the announcement. It wasn't until hours later that this was discovered thus creating the mess we are now in. I wish it was satire. An incredibly embarrassing situation that has created a whole host of finger-pointing and infighting. Heads will roll, it's just unclear which buffoon will be made the scapegoat. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be that stupid, if all the paper work to sign him as done just not the registration paper work then it wouldn’t be an issue, we can at any point sign a free agent and register them, QPR did it today!

AllRoverAsia Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I thought that the EFL had a computer based system that clubs access which is essentially idiot proof if the instructions and prompts are followed.

This reminds me of the film "Schindler's List"where Schindler employed all the young jewish children to make ammunition for Hitler's war effort but during the night he himself went into the factory to make a mess of their expert work so that not a single shell or bullet would get to Hitler's army. Who's faffing around with fax machines? Suhail? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
