Mc Donald Mariga deal done (Merged)

From BBC

From chrisbevan_bbc on Twitter: "Man City appealed over Mariga work permit at hearing at Wembley this morning. Attended by reps from club, FA, Prem Lge, PFA & ex-pros. Mariga had played enough games for Kenya to get permit but scuppered by Kenya's world ranking of 98. They needed to be ranked 70 or above. Man City can launch another appeal in a future transfer window but will not be able to register McDonald Mariga as a player in this one."

Wow how fucking pathetic is that. Even i knew Kenya were outside the top 75 and our transfer guys didnt think it could be an issue and left it to the last day. Marwood and Cook have as much brains as a cheese sandwich.

Why City waited til last hours to make a deal?

The work permit issue with Mariga is a massive surprise to all concerned. If ever a deal was certain this was it! Time for an early drink?

one hesitates to point this out but

I don't see how Big Mac would get a work permit -- Kenya are currently 98th in the FIFA rankings.

Anyway it's all back ON now so the BBC says -- hmmm

Where do the BBC say that?

Calm down the hysteria and righteous indignation is comical.


He was always going to fail first time up as he did nòt meet the rules and many top players do. The appeal can be fasttracked and if it was and he failed that then there is not much anyone can do about it.

Fucking hell blues, look at you's all wanting Cook's head! ANYONE who can organise a transfer like Robinho's, when the takeover was only done that same day, knows what they are doing. Not one of you know the lead up to this Mariga failure.

According to the BBC that appeal you mention was held this morning at Wembley and was rejected so the deal is dead!

Why all the Cook/Marwood hate?

Is it possible that perhaps our brand new manager wanted a few games to see where his problems lay, before we started spunking money on players?
Or that we have different targets we've been chasing that aren't currently available?

Anybody who believes that we started all of these transfers today is dumber than Neville after a headbutt.

When Mancini said about mariga why didnt someone point out that it would be almost impossible to get a work permit and then we could of moved on to someone else instead of having a hearing this morning.

to be fair mate slagging gary cock off for being amateurish is hardly about this single issue only - not really covered himself in glory on so many occasions, this being just one of many

I'm just saying wait until after the deadline has gone before slagging him off for the Mariga deal.

If they've taken the work permit for granted then fair enough, but if they've got a Plan B that we find out about in the next few hours then I don't see how he's messed anything up.
