That would come down to how each side interpret the rules as laid down. If either fear that they have a potential breach by virtue of the so called "Gentleman's agreement" becoming public knowledge and, as such, a potential points deduction (or other sanction) then perhaps, OUFC, for example, may see fit to include Owen Dale in the match day squad (but not play) as a way to circumvent any breach. At that point, perhaps, Blackpool could say that the agreement has been broken (in the spirit of the agreement) - apologies, this getting very convoluted!Is there a dispute?
It depends what adhering to the guidance means. With some guidance the rule is, it can broken but only for a good reason.Interesting that it’s under ‘Guidance’. By definition, it’s not an instruction.
Also, ‘any dispute between two clubs’ indicates to me that FA rule K is only invoked when there’s a dispute. Is there in this case?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
I say, call Blackpools bluff, put Dale in the squad tomorrow and then let Blackpool try and make a dispute out of it. Pretty sure they'll get short shrift from the league or FA.
Who else are they going to go crying to?
Just a shame our senior management were party to it in the first place.
So have we also foolishly agreed that Will Goodwin will not play against Cheltenham on March 9th?
We had a similar arrangement with Barcelona when we signed Xemi but it never came up in the end, which was a bit of a let off for the board at the time.If we ever play Liverpool Brannagan isn't allowed to play.
Although it’s worth noting that you can’t agree to break the law, so even if a verbal agreement is enforceable it would be void if the outcome was illegal, or in breach of regulation.Going back a few posts, @RyanioBirdio explained it very well.
Sounds like Critchley might be as out of step with the Senior Management at Blackpool as Des appears to be with the Senior Management at OUFC.
Critchley is (understandably) playing a straight bat on this one. AS far as he's concerned, we met their valuation, the player wanted the move - bish,bash,bosh - everyone's happy (supposedly).
(Psst, don’t pass to Vardy)Simplest solution for me is that Dale is allowed to play, but none of our players can deliberately pass him the ball.
Didn't work with Dan Agyei...Simplest solution for me is that Dale is allowed to play, but none of our players can deliberately pass him the ball.
Owen Moxon moved from Carlisle to Pompey before the deadline and they play each other tomorrow.
I’ll bet a pound to a penny that he’s in the Pompey squad.
He could have been the difference between 1 point and all 3....Didn’t need him after all then
That was certainly the case in the first half v WiganSimplest solution for me is that Dale is allowed to play, but none of our players can deliberately pass him the ball.
And the second half.That was certainly the case in the first half v Wigan
