Any club below the Premier League is probably seen as some amateur part-time affair as far as the FA is concerned.
Already appealed according to bbc report. Derby have had their transfer of the lad from Birmingham cancelled too
This is crazy stuff happening. What is going on. Mind you I think this serves a lot of club right (Swansea i reckon in our case) for leaving it so late
i'll take your word for it. don't know the details. my guess is it's a combination of bellend agents, and administrative incompetence of either or both clubs
Said that they (Barnsley) had to wait for Swansea to release McBurnie - and McBurnie arrived at Barnsley wanting to get started with a big smile on his face. Now then ....... if I was Oli McBurnie I would be finding out who or which party dragged their feet with the deal. And when I found out that it obviously was foooking Swansea I would make life extremely difficult for them.
agree with that has to be down to swansea, mcburnie said he'd signed and done photo's and the deal was agreed weeks before I bet he's as gutted as us! makes you laugh when chelsea's deal for drinkwater was deemed ok though? who says money talks?!? when did sepp take over at the efl???
Another big question is, why has it taken so long to come to this decision? All paperwork should've been scrutinised upon receipt.
The window closed on Thursday 31st August and we understood that McBurnie was at Oakwell on the 29th presumably to sign the paperwork before flying off to join the Scotland U 21 squad. Sounds very much as though the blame for failing to register him in time, lies fairly and squarely with Swansea. A right ball of chalk from start to finish.
It's obvious it wasn't us dragging our heels if he'd signed the paperwork and had photo shoots days before deadline day.
What purpose does having a transfer window / deadline have? How does it benefit the game, its fans and players?
Dragon has a point. But blame must lie with foooking Swansea on this. Tw@ts. We have no one at the club now that could be described as a tall holding centre forward. Disastrous !!!!!!!! More than disappointed
