Babylon Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 Problem is, FIFA can't really afford the fall out if they let us get away with it and then something happens, like Silva scores a goal that gets us three points which ultimately send another side down. On that basis alone I can see them rejecting everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 This is absolutely authoritarianism gone mad FFS 14 seconds anybody would've thought it was 14 hours let alone 14 seconds, FIFA have taken incompetence into the next realm of incompetence as they are not only dealing Harshly with Leicester City but interfering with Adrien Silva's Career especially during an important World Cup qualifying period for his country. To say a player cannot be registered because the club was 14 seconds late it's ridiculous, FIFA have yet again shown a degree of corruption or incompetence this time not only unjustifiably mistreating the football club but the player himself. FIFA has once again become the butt of many jokes once again they have come from corruption jokes to incompetent jokes FIFA need to get its house in order as there are more pressing matters in the press than the so called stupid 14 second lateness what can only be an IT issue City emailed faxed whatever the transcript version on time and the fa received it later than normal and for that reason only City or Silva should not be penalised for the fa's handling of the late received item verification ! Time for FIFA to look into their own house and the financial irregularities of PSG & Man City along with a couple of the so called untouchable big clubs before penalising City for a so called late by 14 seconds form receiving glitch absolutely pathetic FIFA why don't you just stick to doing what you do best by bringing our great sport into disripute and stick to backhanding your brown envelope brigade!!!

FoxinNotts Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 One thing that gives me some hope, is the fact that there have been no official statements from anyone yet, therefore, any desicion is not yet cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 2 hours ago, yorkie1999 said: Rules are rules, but there should also be a bit of common sense in things like this. No one's going to die or get injured and part of FIFA's aim is to promote the game of football. Well they're not going to promote the game of football by potentially penalising a player by preventing him from playing in one of their competitions although he has done nothing wrong. Rules have to be stuck to. I bet others have missed out (but not hit news), what happens if they let us off, where do you draw the line? 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours? It all goes to pot once you start not enforcing them. There is noone to blame but LCFC in this fiasco. We chose to sell drinkwater at the last minute. We chose to not sanction silva without drinkwater cash. We chose to not accept a lower bid for drinkwater for an earlier sale. I know we will never all agree on the priority of been a hard arse on transfer prices, but FIFA are not to blame for our incompetence. Also the one statement from LCFC was a lie, saying it was down to international clearance instead of late documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fox Covert Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 I don't know how the documents are submitted. But if City can prove they did submit the documents in reasonable time before the deadline and delivery to the FA was delayed, causing receipt to be late by 14 seconds, then I expect they have a decent case. But only the legal authorities would know what is reasonable. Since a two hour extension was granted I suppose this time might be quite short. If, say, 99% of documents are delivered within 10 minutes by whatever means City used, and they submitted 20 minutes before the deadline then they could argue that they could reasonably expect the documents to be delivered in time. But I don't suppose we will ever know all the facts. Should keep a few solicitors in a job for a little while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knitro Posted 6 September 2017 Share Posted 6 September 2017 I can't imagine why a fine from FIFA can't see this through - this is where legalese like 'intent' and 'good faith' come into play. Grease these corrupt palms, argue about the player's 'welfare' and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
