It says that a copy of the permission must be received by the FA the Football League the player and Stanley ie passive tense. That suggests that it was Preston's responsibility to procure that it was.
However I also read this to mean that both Preston and Stanley had to ensure that the rule had been complied with before either Preston or Stanley could take advantage of this derogation to the general principle against trainees playing for third party clubs.
If such be the case its a shame that the fourth highest scorers in the league have that status threatened amongst other things because we borrowed someone else's trainee striker. I had thought it was the defence that was the problem!
