You heard something?

Didn't Kear say we wouldn't be signing unvaccinated players?

He did but I am sure he would change his mind if we had chance to sign Ford.

Not a chance couldn’t afford him in a month of sundays

Ford would be an incredible addition to the squad but realistically I can't see us pulling it off.

Rumours around Batley are interested. If they can afford him then so can we.

I hope this is true as he would be an incredible signing for us.

I think it is very unlikely though for the reasons already said.

Nope. Principles shouldn't go out of the window for convenience. Kear recognises that not getting vaccinated is an insult to your team mates and to society. We should stick to that.

If he's not vaccinated and we do sign him it does seem to fly in the face of what Kear was saying a few weeks ago.

Batley may be "interested". I'm "interested" in winning the Euromillions.

Quite the dilemma for the player himself. On one hand he can have a jab he doesn't agree with but enjoy life in the South of France. Or he could avoid the jab and get to play half way up a hill in a deprived former mill town in the UK. Personally speaking if it meant getting to live and work in the South of France I'd let them jab me in the meat and veg.

We already have unvaccinated players we haven't released

I doubt we would be releasing them. Kear said he'd advise the board not to re-sign them.

Is the issue here that the clubs stance is to sign players ideally vaccinated to protect players/people/society etc or is it also they don’t want to sign players, pay them a wage and find they are unavailable for any game in France as they can’t get in, similar to what happened with Batley in plays off last year when several players couldn’t go as they weren’t jabbed. This year we could sign Ford or the like, if it’s the latter and this wouldn’t impact anything

For me it's the first point that is more important - and Kear clearly mentioned this in his interview on the matter. The issue of availability for games in France doesn't apply at the moment but if we got an away draw in the cup it would have an impact.

Unvaccinated people are more likely to spread the virus around than vaccinated people. That means they're more likely to infect their teammates and the friends and family of those they mix with. Unless they have a medical exemption we shouldn't be signing or re-signing those that aren't vaccinated.
