Gonzalez work permit

[Mark P]

Parry - "Our chase to sign Mark Gonzalez is over for the time being. We were surprised when our application for a work permit was turned down."

 

Now, is it me, or don't other clubs usually launch immediate (successful) appeals and kick up a fuss, etc?

[terry mac]

That was the appeal

[Mark P]

That was the appeal

 

Really?!

[Salte]

Yes, i believe so. The first application is in writing (and often fails), then they appeal and have a hearing (often succesful). If i understood the article about the hearing last week correctly they refused to hear what parry etc. had to say tho'.

[Fink]

Yep - the initial request is done in writing i think - if that fails then it goes to a hearing and that was the hearing.

sometimes LFC really do fucking annoy me

 

Other clubs wouldnt take it up the ass like this, if it was manutd they would make sure they got the work permit end of story

 

i am really fed up of our accept it attiude and dont rock the boat attitude, if he's the player Rafa really wants then we should make it happen.

 

Lets stop being the nice guys who are easy to fuck over and make sure we get what we want and what is right for our football club

It especially annoys me when you look at Scotland - their league is shit, their national team is shit, and yet the teams are allowed to be full of 8th rate eastern europeans. There are even shite foreigners in the English 2nd and 3rd divisions too. Yet the European Champions bringing in an international who's non-european isn't allowed. I guess that's the law for you.

[dave u]

and what about all the deadbeats who are allowed in and go straight onto benefits and contribute fuck all to the country.

 

Gonzalez would have been paying a shit load of taxes.

 

If the DOE can show us a better English alternative than Gonzalez (and don't give me the hugely over-rated Downing as an example) then fair enough. If they can't, then they should grant the permit. *

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* wonders if by saturday night that comment about Downing will come back to bite me in the arse

[Red Nick]

well why dont the PL campaign for every PL club to be able to nomiate one player who is automatically given a work permit ie if the club reckon he's good enough then its automatically granted

Yeh but,you're a nice bloke Dave...... :whistle:

[magneto]

i was just about to say Dave...watch out for Downing

[Stu Monty]

That's the point though isn't it Dave, he's coming over here to pay about £4k a week in tax! He's not going to cause any agro by thieving or making false dole claims so what is the damn problem?

 

Ha, just got a fucking well funny image of Gonzalez down the dole office after a man of the match performance in a big match.

 

"Don't I know you from somewhere?"

"No"

"Oh well, have you been looking for work in the last fortnight?"

SHows us that Chile play Peru on Saturday, while Austria (1 ahead) play Scotland and Zambia (two ahead) play Senegal.

 

So they could theoretically jump into the top 20 by Saturday night. The only problem is that they only do the rankings once a month, and theyve done them for this month. (Yesterday)

 

So no chance till January then.

[aws]

He should say that he left Chile because he advocated a terrorist campaign and he'd like to do the same here - this government would usher him in and then issue a press statement about how they're looking into ways to deport him.

[Guest Kaelin]

DISGRACE!!

 

Someone can stand in the middle of a road preachin about "Killing the Westen Infidels" and recieve all sorts of benifits, yet we cant bring in a player !!! somthin is definetly fucking wrong there !!

[Fink]

Does the fact that we dont have a work permit actually stop us employing him even if he's not in the country? He is injured anyway so we wouldnt lose out if we get him on loan like we are at the moment but he stays in Spain?

[Anubis]

I think the problem would be that we would want him trining and recovering with his new team mates, which he wouldn't be able to do. And won't we still face the same problem when he's fit?

[Rashid]

I agree with what someone said earlier. Enough terrorists and other people in this country working/receiving benefits freely but someone like Gonzales who will come and pay shit loads in tax is not allowed!

[El Rojo]

I agree with the original post - we seem too willing to offer our rump as a club when something like this happens - the same with fixture setting and the debacle of having to start from scratch in this year's CL.

 

It's all very well being dignified and acting with decorum, but it certainly seems like Parry and Moores could throw their weight around more in cases like this.

[Bob]

i fail to see any logic behind this at all, especially if it is true that parry was not allowed to say anything at the appeal.

Look at the players such as Leitao (i hope he's the one at walsall that i'm thinking of and he's brazilian not portuguese as that would really fuck up my point) and Junior (same applies to him, Derby is it?).

 

Are the DoE stating that these players are better standard than Gonzales because Brazil are better than Chile? What about when Kinkladze came over to play for city, no-one knew him, Georgia were shit but he was allowed. its all proper hypocrasy and beuarocracy. its shite.

[Anubis]

Has anyone read today's article by David Fairclough on .tv about the appeal boards. I'd love to know who sat on the panel for Gonzalez.

Maybe Howard Kendall was chairman.

[Dirk]

If only Michael Howard was Home Secretary still. No, maybe not.
