We can't sign players from the NL after 11pm tonight.

Cashy and all;

For a player to be "eligiable" to play on a contract or a standard loan, the paperwork must be in the "system" before 12 noon the day prior to the fixture. We only started talking about this deal around 11-30am today and even Wrexham only "found" Bobby around 1pm to start the paperwork.

Any Welsh club taking an English player ( and T'other way around) the paperwork also needs to go via FIFA. Madness but as far as FIFA are concerned we are 2 different countries!!
