Welsh FA.

Christ on a bike. Why does it take so long to get international clearance from the Welsh FA? had it with Orlandi last season and now Conway which has been cleared. Does anyone know what is involved in getting 'clearance', what actually needs to be done? Does it take Swansea/Cardiff/Newport this long to sign players the other way round?

You all play in the English league so why does it take for ever to register a player?

They're too busy ruining the national team.. :lol:

In all seriousness, don't understand why it's taken so long... We never have any such issues when signing players.

I've noticed that you all seem to sign players in an instant but when it's the other way it's a nightmare, just as bad as trying to signing Ullua from Spain in January last season, took 2 weeks for clearance and I could understand ifit was a time zone issue or the fact a language barrier could be an issue but Wales.

Let's keep displomacy in tact here :lol:

97 year olds can barely pick up a spoon let alone fill out international documents, thats probably why its taking so long.

Because most of them are 75 plus years old who run the Welsh FA and thats not a joke.
They are 50 years behind the rest of the World.

No reason at all why there should be a delay, assuming all the paperwork is in order. Welsh Premier League clubs have to have international clearance if they buy a player from English non-league sides. Rarely hear of problems there.

International clearance is needed whenever a player moves from one jurisdiction to another, eg FAW to FA, or Italy to Spain etc.

There was a delay when we signed Kenny Miller, but that was because the Turks were being awkward. Not the system itself.

The parochial blazer brigade are out of touch and out of depth - they should fall on their swords and be part of building a dynamic organisation to improve the national game from the parks up. They also smell of piss and biscuits.
