I don't know.

Seriously I don't, but if he gets the visa on the basis of the relationship, there are no work restrictions on it, so he can conclude his work with Cas and move to his new job with us. He can't have 2 visas and a predated visa doesn't exist, so he may have to wait for the new one.

I don't think he can get the relationship visa because if the rule change in July that AP mentioned, but we'll see.

The only people who will know the position are Rangi, his lawyers and prob AP. And UKBA of course.

Maybe this is just a little publicity stunt from Cas' side. We are trying everything from our end, setting deadlines etc to force the issue. We gave a good relationship with Cas, so they are maybe trying to make it sound bad to force the issue from their end..

We have a deal in principle but they aren't seeing the cash they desperately need because of red tape!! I'm sure they are as frustrated as us tbh!!

It's kind of like having a house you love, but can't afford and needing to sell it but the people who are willing to buy it can't get a mortgage on a technicality!!

Just a thought!!

I still don't we will pull the Rangi signing off.
I wish AP had kept his mouth shut over the halfback signings.Saying we will sign 2 out of the best 4 in SL was very bold.
I think he needs to learn to reign his passion in slightly in public.

Why? To much banter in the pub?

He'll be judge on his comments when his signings are announced.

I hope we dont end up with some nobody After getting our hopes up with Rangi, so therefore I agree that things should of been kept under wraps better until things were a bit more solid.

For the last umpteen seasons this board has been full of complaints about the lack of information from the club and in particular never hearing from the Chairwoman. Now we have an owner and Chairman who is open, frank , passionate, and honest what do we get? People who want him to shut up.

You couldn't make it up.

My thoughts exactly. AP shot his mouth off and could get shot in the foot!
I really hope we are not going to be let down.

exactly.

Why? He wants to reassure fans he's trying his best to get quality players in. He's been transparent that this is subject to visa issues with a change in rules outwith his control, but that we're exploring all avenues to make it happen. This is not letting us down. Do you think he should have said nothing at all? For an "HFC" boy, it's odd that 89% of your posts are negative and critical in our best finish for 5 years. Why is that?

Certainly millward's comments seem to be at odds with those on here who have told us the chase deal is done and dusted

Best finish for 5 years? We came 4th under Agar.

The deal is done. Cas confirmed that before the last deadline. It's all about the visa now.
I honestly don't know where Millward is coming from.

A deal was agreed weeks ago for him to come pre transfer deadline. Doesn't mean the same deal is available now. I'd be very surprised if the clubs have any kind of agreement in place given millward's outburst

There is being transparent , but there is being OTT.
What do you think other SL Chairmen made of AP's outburst? I would be holding Hull FC to ransom if they came calling after that statement.
Adam is the greatest thing to happen to our Club for years.I have no doubt he will deliver.
My opinion is he maybe on some occasions needs to be more candid and keep his powder dry.
You say I am negative.I disagree.Having a difference of opinion is what a forum is about , is it not? I apologise that you find not always agreeing with the message board in crowd is being negative.
