Adver News: Benson set for Town - reports

[DRS]

I think it is more to do with the salary cap

[otanswell]

So did he sign or not? Or is he hanging around with Milan Misun

I believe you are right Dean, apparently he was training on Friday at Liddington, but we still await FL approval.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Apparently FL saying that fax was not received until 5.07pm, Jeremy Wray hoping that good sense will prevail as both clubs and player have agreed to the deal.

People still use fax machines??

Wray says on BBC Wilts that the paperwork went through a few mins late due to computer issues.

Thats what the delay is..

quickest way to get a document over which required a signature. Alternative would be scan it then email.

Good point

[tans]

This is the football league here, they wont let common sense prevail

[Matchworn Shirts]

The football league? Oh, Jesus Christ

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Then again, you could argue that if you set a transfer deadline it would be pretty nonsensical not to enforce it.

Just sayin'

easier to confirm the origin of a fax too.

7 minutes late? We'll be demoted before you know it!

Jeremy Wray said they contacted the Football League several times during the process and even before 5pm contacted them again to say they were having difficulties getting the paperwork across to them. The Football League were fully aware of this and told us to send the paperwork anyway.

It nows seems that someone at the league is saying because paperwork wasn't received until 17:07 the deal may not go ahead despite the fact the club contacting them severals times beforehand to advise them of the situation and the league telling us it was ok.

JW hopes common sense will prevail but this is the football league so I'm not hopeful

[Coca Fola]

Any news on Hedges?

My thoughts exactly.  What can a fax do that a signed PDF attachment sent via e-mail cannot?  I hate the way that lawyers and HMRC still insist on sending letters as well as their main method of correspondence.  Philistines.
