Quote: "To be fair the blame will fall on the players and I don't think they are to fully blame, whilst people may scoff at players being quoted I don't think its too wide of the mark.
I don't reckon they knew what they were filling in really. They should have had better guidance all round. That said ignorance is not an excuse and perhaps said players should have questioned it too.'"
they are not to blame at all, it is up to the employer to ensure that all of their employees are legally entitled to work in this country. as an employer myself i have to show due diligence when employing anyone new, this takes the form of photocopying passports, national insurance cards and working visas. it is up to me to prove i have done this, not up to my employees.
