Message to the Club - RE Tommy Smith

[sirpiechucker]

Let's hope someone at the club read this forum or someone can pass this on.

The emergency loan rule states that we can only sign a player for a maximum of 93 days. If the club sign Tommy Smith tomorrow and the deal is ratified by the Football League tomorrow the deal will end on Friday December 10th. However if we delay signing him till Thursday the deal will end on Saturday 11th meaning that Smith will be eligible to play against Watford on the 11th.

Also note the failure to do the permanent signing in time means that with New Year's Day falling on a Saturday and we have an away match against Norwich it means any new deal for Smith is unlikely to be sanctioned until Monday 3rd at the earliest but with this being a Bank Holiday and the fact we have a home match against Bristol City it's unlikely that a permanent deal can be sanctioned until 4th at the earliest. Therefore if the club do don't delay his signing then he'll miss at least 6 matches (plus the game against Portsmouth) instead of 5.

Very good point and I would hope that someone working within the club will realise this.

Maybe if we had someone like yourself working at the club we wouldn't be making so many silly mistakes.

Great piece of info, you seem to know everything there is to know about footie and are definitely Mr Statto.
I would like to think that someone at the club would know this info anyway, if not they should do.
