If it doesn’t happen, surely there is some course of action that can be taken to penalise them for tapping up a player? I know it happens all the time, but the rules are still there.

Yes, but remember when Chelsea were banned for 2 seasons from registering any players? That ban was pretty quickly lifted.

You’re the legal professional, @lindsayea.bsky.social , get it sorted.

It does seem to me to be a blatant breach but football is so corrupt these days I doubt anyone will do anything. Look at Man City and their rule breaking. I’d chuck them both out the league. Along with Chelsea. And Spurs simply because I hate them.

And this is why you never got to be a judge

To be fair I never wanted to be a judge. But i agree with what you are saying!

Can we add Palace too? I’m sick of losing to them.

Good thinking

“Former Justice Big Wig in Kangaroo Court Horror.” The headlines write themselves.

Now wondering if I have a wig photo

That’s not one in your profile photo?

😱 I thought that was quite a good one. Real hair and all.

Don't be so horrible. Sigh.

Marinakis threatened legal action against the player and Spurs earlier in the Summer and both of those parties scarpered. There still must be teeth in the rules but I reckon clubs don't always want to pull the trigger cause they want to buy a player next time 🤷

Brian Clough was blunt as ever when he said it went on all the time. He said he’d tapped up more players than Trent (?) water

On it.

I shall look forward to seeing a preliminary assessment on Friday morning. 👍🏻

Problem is he has to go…team mates seem to hate him now and can we really trust him in net?

Just because he has to go (and yes, he does) doesn’t mean we can’t haul those arrogant, entitled c***s through the courts.

I think we should register an official complaint. It’s absolutely blatant. It was announced everywhere he’d agreed personal terms before we were approached.

Agree it will help with SCR if we win🤣
