For those who aren't in the know, there is no rule C3 (b) (v) but the above is Rule C3 (a) (v).
However, if PNE are referring to the scholarship section, then the above section (v) still applies except change the words registered trainee for any player who is registered for a scholarship. Further bits where it refers to a trainee is changed to player. Any more thoughts?
Perhaps the FA are saying they never got the relevant paperwork from PNE

"A copy of the written permission ..." presumably means that it was Stanley's responsibility to forward the written permission to the FA, not PNE's ... as in the Bury case.
