By all accounts he didn't fill in the form correctly and didn't provide this information, hence it having to be chased up blah blah

You're seriously suggesting after all the issues had by FC, Leeds, Crusaders, Bradford and Huddersfield over visa applications last year, that Rovers didn't check the form first? FC were very clear publicly that they were using specialists in this field to validate the applications of Fitzgibbon and O'Meley and avoid any mistakes hence them getting here for mid November.

Exactly.  Suggesting Rovers would be stupid/incompetent/tight@rse enough to leave the application to chance after the hideous experiences of half of SL in 2009 is ludicrous.

| Quote Seventies red="Seventies red"We were in the upstairs club after the game and spoke to one of the directors,(wont name him),he informed us that Clinton should be here in two weeks time and its nothing to do with his visa, its just a couple of minor technical details which have to be sorted out,
Apparently,(as far as i can remember after half a dozen pints), its something to do with Uk employment law which requires you to prove you have enough money to be able be self sustaining or have a benfactor who will be able to make such provision
It may be similar to the law in Australia which requires you prove you can afford to keep yourself or at least have a benefactor who can, when applying for a visa there.'"
That's [uexactly[/u to do with his visa. One of the new requirements is that you can support yourself before you get here. I'm surprised that Rovers haven't sorted that out tbh. They have an "A" rating under the new Home Office system and can certify the support needed. Could have been done ages ago. (thats a freebie btw, but any more and I'll have to charge  )

| According to today's Express 'sources in Australia' are saying the delay is due to the RFL being unable to ratify the Clinton deal because Rovers are struggling to fit him under the salary cap. Sorry no link as yet but it is in the paper. Says Rovers may need to release a player. Wasn't this speculated about previously ?

The most likely reason imo.

| Pity we couldn't get rid of Mills during last years cap. I suppose we were a bit naive in giving mediocre players long term deals when we first came up.
