The English Football Association Makes Significant Changes to Its GBE Rules
This blog summarizes the English Football Association's changes to its GBE process.www.fragomen.com
Players have already been making the move such as Sammy Silvera to Middlesbrough (he is a regular for them), Nectarios Triantis to Sunderland last summer. A few have made the move to Scotland in recent years as well.
That's a shame but I doubt the FA will allow the transfer retrospectively. Seems like we're not the only ones with fax machine issues.
What did you do in a past life @SteMerritt ?

That isn’t true
The EFL board is discussing this tomorrow, so we might hear quite soon if your theory is correct.

Am coming late to this- if it goes through, is that a loan or permanent? Assume the former.
If it’s their fault, their incompetence, then the loan should be allowed.
If it's Blackburn's incompetence that results in them not being able to sign the MLS player as planned, then I would think the loan won't go ahead as it was probably dependent on said MLS players arrival.
I was thinking it might be an EFL issue.
Blackburn are apparently appealing to FA over a problem they had on deadline day with paperwork which meant Harry Leonard couldn't be signed by OUFC on loan. According to their fan forum they made same mistake last time. They also announced 'signing' of a player who now will need to go back to MLS by Thursday when their season re starts. At least OUFC’s admin seems better organised.
