The official site says that his work permit only allows him to play for Southampton. Proudlock has now been added to the squad.

Bollox I forgot Southampton is not in England

LMAO, when will it end?!

What c*ck up!

Fuller was to become the 11th player to play up front for us this season!

Nice quote from JR:
"I know we've had a jinx on our strikers this season but I didn't realise it would start affecting them before they had even played for us!"

SOMEONE WAKE ME UP PLEASE! THIS NIGHTMARE WILL NEVER END!

This is silly, he may not play for ipswich at all. They say that they might not even apply for the work permit

FFS how did the club not know about this?

He must have a work permit!!!!!! he's on loan FFS's, it's the bloody FA again the fvcking w*nkers.

.....joe royle must be banging his head against a wall.

ffs.....give us a break

Only to play for southampton.

FFS sometimes I really believe our club is the laughing stock of the league!
This season alone we have the Naylor suspension incident, a dodgy investor and now this. You couldn't make it up if you tried.

You would think that we would have somebody who checked the detail before we committed ourselves to things!

You forgot Skard and the Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds to me very much like an F,.A. balls up. There is no
way Ipswich would have announced Fullers arrival f they knew
about such a totally and utterly ridiculous load of bollocks.

Is this a rule that was motioned at 5pm today...
I dont think we came blame ITFC as both the F.A. and League had
agreed earlier that Fuller could play for Ipswich Town.

its not an FA thing, its the work permit department

seems a flipping stupid bit of red tape, bugger

Pay back from GB I think

It's not the FA, the official site says "Work Permit UK" contacted Southampton and the Football League and confirmed the restriction. Who the hell are Work Permit UK? Sounds very New Labour.

Surely the FA and League should be up to date with this. I mean if this Work Permit UK company are involved, who employs them to keep records and why was this not flagged on Fullers CV. Do we ITFC
go directly to them or to the FA League.


End of the day it dont matter, the purpose of bringing Fuller in was to represent is in the Wolves game which is a critiical one. I feel
Ipswich Town have been let down and can only pray that we get a result
at Wolves so we can put this, yet another fiasco, to the back
of our minds



COME ON YOU BLUES

Is it normal for a footballer's work permit to restrict which club they can play for? That sounds like it could violate laws that protect workers from being indentured servants. I can't recall hearing such a thing before...

Wouldn't Fuller or his agent know what the conditions of his work permit were? I think we all know that most footballers are not too bright, but aren't their agents supposed to know about these sort of things?

bet its just an excuse! what has really happened is Proudlock has introduced him at the local and they are having such a bender tonight that he'll be in no fot state to play tomorrow.

Could well be the first time that this has happened here. Naurally I
understand work permits etc etc and the reason why they may only be issued to certain employers.

However someone somewhere must have known this and I think
it was up to the supplier to inform the vendor as the supplier
should haveknown of the restraints.

Unfortunately for us atITFC another lesson learnt. The hard way.

Spot on Leedsblue..

Basically it's a fuking joke.I'm well pissed off now!

God my head hurts this is f***ing stupid, his agent must have known for gods sake....when will this bad luck end

Send the mother fvcker back, return to sender, I had my hopes up, can I sue them????????????????

Yeah. It's pretty ridiculous. Oh well.

wtf is work permits uk? Seems the forces that be really dont want us to have any strikers

Nothing on the official web site about this.....It may be possible that DS is using his influence within the FA as he did with Jamie Peters,to "fast track" an application through!!! We can live in hope...cant we?
