But if the panel are jobsworths it could get declined, and will be subject to an appealbluebean said:MelbourneBlue said:Sorry guys, its 530am , i've just woken up and i keep reading about work permits and ranking. Still half asleep soits not sinking in. Whats going on? Can someone summarize?
SSN reporting that adebayor is in manchester tomorrow applying for a work permit to sign for us, for a player to get one they have to have played 75% of there countrys internationals and there country has to have an average world ranking of 70...
hope that helps,
also the work permit will be a formality because of the impact as a player adebayor has! he is a world star and therefore will be looked upon as an asset to english football
It maybe that this hearing has the power to review his "special status". I don't know. Wouldn't describe it as a formality. penty of players fail initial work permit applications, and then have to wait for the appeals to go through. That's a hassle, and could prevent the deal from being done
