He will be in time for his testimonial











































Just

Crap init.

apart from Leeds who lost Eastwood to a driving conviction, and Saints who had to wait a couple of months while Meli renewed his visa? and Hudds who lost Todd Carney,

TBF none of the clubs are paying them! (except meli). Were paying a player not to play!
Wish thorman was an Aussie now!

None of them have paid the player for a full season like us.

A joke

How can the situation be taking this long? I just wonder if other factors are at work here?

Maybe Alan Johnson should write to himself and find out WTF is happening. The situation is beyond a joke.

I think that simple incompetence and bureaucratic bloody-mindedness are enough to explain the situation TBH.

Farcical. The authorities in Canberra are an embarrassment to the country.

If he was employed in a more traditional type of job he probably would have had his contract terminated by now. They are playing with peoples livelihood here.

Isn't he in NZ? If it is Canberra, I think the club would have every right to bung in a forceful complaint about the delays to this and Crocker. The delays are "harming a UK business" imho

He is in NZ, but from what I remember at the time his application still goes through Canberra as the High Commission in Wellington no longer handles visa applications. The UKBA consolidated NZ and Australian applications in one office in Canberra.

I recall someone (his agent?) mentioning it in the press.

They are an absolue joke as an authority, it's a disgrace they way they are dealing with things at present.

Just looked it up and you're right (should have known really ). No wonder it's taking so long Is the High Commissioner a Rovers fan????

Amazing people commenting on the actions of the UKBA/Immigration etc.

Are you all really sure that FC are doing everything required?
