I didn't realise it was not complete!

However, the fact he has been given cup permission already is very good news. Bodes well for the future!

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Didn't know it wasn't complete either.

Given permission to play in the JT Trophy, League Cup, FA Cup unless against Chelsea. I hope we get Chelsea in the JT Trophy! :D

The club seemingly has that little news to post, that they decide to put that confirmation up. Or "conformation" as the website, non spell checked, version says. Perhaps they think they can trick us into thinking we've made 2 signings? ;)

 

[EastStandBlue]

But what if we don't want to conform?

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Not as bad as the article for Meet the Blues day where we are due to admire the side stools.

Not a pleasent thought.

 

[NZamba Legend]

We have got so desperate we have to announce the same signing twice.

 

[Angell Delight]

Yes and I think the fact that Sawyer wasn't allowed to play in the Carling Cup or FA Cup for us last season when he was on loan is a pretty clear indication that Chelsea will be open to letting him leave permanently in January.

:clap:

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Haha pointless story covering up the complete lack of transfer activity. What next? "Roots Hall confirmed as home ground for this season".

 

[Davros]

old news rehashed as new news.

Its like reading the same sh*t about Michael Jackson each day!

 

[Andyhsufc]

The question should really be why the transfer needed ratification from The FA? When has a transfer ever been delayed by a week for ratification?

Corrected.

I don't know for sure but I think the answer to the ratification question may well be something to do with your post earlier. As we do have a winding up petition open against us, even if it is more an administrative issue rather than an Administration one, we probably needed permission to sign players.

Given the rumours on this board that we couldn't complete the signing because there were serious money problems, I guess this news item now confirms that that wasn't ever the case, and is therefore worth publishing.

I think your definitely on the right lines. My understanding was that we were unable to sign players at the moment due to the HMRC situation so it may be that we have struck a deal with them. This signing may herald some further good news.

The signing of players, whether they be permanent or loan based, is not effected by a HMRC winding up order being placed on a club. The only time a clubs ability to make signings of any nature would be hindered or stopped completely is if the agreed terms of repayment of the outstanding monies, reached between HMRC and the club in question, are breached in any way. A winding up petition in itself has no effect on a clubs ability to sign a player.

Am I the only one who thought we had just signed him on a permanent?

:headbang:

I understand that completely. However, what I meant is that the signing of players had been suspended by HMRC until we had come to an agreement with them (the winding up petition was just a consequence of the repayment problems, not the reason for the player embargo). Therefore, I'm guessing that we have sorted out something with HMRC and that is why the deal went through today.
