Anyone from Gretna want to move south ?

Looking like Gretna will fold this week, with only 10 players wanting to play on saturday, whats the chances of fleet offering some of them a lifeline, there must be some decent players there

Wouldn't there be trouble with work permits?...........Seeing they are coming from a foreign country?

Actually Les, you may not be too far out.

 

As I understand it, international clearance will not now be availble until the transfer window next opens.

Instead of Gretna read Berwick Rangers ~

An English club playing in a 'foreign' league, wonder how the question of international clearnce would apply in their case?

he rang me and asked how much...I said for what....he said get into SPL..I said 10 million at least....he said no problem I have it.....

 

I said at least 20 million a year to stay there....

Surely your memory is not that bad John?

It's only been a year.

AFC Wimbledon. Expelled. FA Trophy. Jermaine Darlington. Cardiff City. Gravesend & Northfleet.

Wasn't that a foreign club playing in an English league though?

[Derryman]

Ahem ! Please do not forget wee Derry City - a "British" club playing in another EU state's league with that state's teams coming into the UK to play at Brandywell beside the Bogside.

 

And you think Ebbsfleet had problems !!!
