Work Permit Question

[Blackthorn]

Hi all,

I have a question has the title states around Work Permits.

I tried to sign a player who didn't have enough point to qualify for a permit. Part of the deal was for the player to be loaned back to his club for 2 years due to him being a current international but not yet having enough caps.

I thought he wouldn't require a permit due to him not playing in England and the work permit would have been sorted at the end of the 2 years.

Is what happened true or is this a bug????? Want to find out before I report it.

It'd go through the work permit process now, at the point of purchase, but you can apply for work permits after then too, so you can apply for one after he'd completed his loan.

He wouldn't agree to sign for me without the work permit.

That's his choice. Potentially he could come back from the loan and be stuck with you unable to play if he's still ineligible, forced to take a fairly rubbish contract offer abroad. Or the loan could be recalled or terminated, leading to that position happening even earlier. Many players won't be willing to take such a risk.

Probably not worth the hassle- move on and find someone else.
