Quote: General Zod. "1) If Willie Mason was to get a Tongan passport, then this would not enable Rovers to sign another overseas player as Mason would still be classed as "overseas trained" - only overseas players signed before Feb 2008 who have European passports (i.e. Fisher, Vella, Galea, Newton & Lovegrove) are exempt from the quota so references otherwise are simply down to lazy and inaccurate journalism.
2) Just supposing Mason already has his visa, it would make more sense the Mason continues his pre-season preparation in a warmer climate where it will be more beneficial for him than training in these arctic conditions.
3) Then there's a logistics point of of making travel arrangements when we have the goings on at Heathrow etc.
People need to chill and have more trust in our board who deliver time and time again.
I've every confidence Mason will be lining up against FC in Cardiff.'"
You had every confidence he'd be here by 23rd November...
