You'd think in this day and age where accountability is so important the FA would be a bit more open in its day to day dealings.
Put the case on the website, add a few details i.e. reason for dispute and a date by which they plan to have an answer / verdict. It's not the secret society ffs it's about football, the business they supposedly deal with and the vested interests of the fans, the clubs involved and not least the player himself.

“LB: The only thing I can think is maybe they are dealing with the problems at Bury and Bolton. That’s the only thing I can think of as to why they haven’t come back to us – which is wrong because it is the boy’s career. #cafc
LB: "At the moment he is contacting Steve Gallen [head of recruitment] every day, two or three times a day, asking what is going on. We can’t give him answers because we aren’t getting any answers." #cafc
If it were that simple a no then surely we would know by now. Also Bowyer stating we will appeal if it’s a no - which goes against IDKs here saying we had got turned down and launched an appeal already.
To be fair to the FA appeals panel, it can’t be arranged “just like that” the panel members will need to be chosen and arrangements made to have them, their carers, medical equipment such as Zimmer frames transported to the FA and the problem explained to them so that they can say no. These things take time.
The most frustrating thing about this is that we all know if it was a premier league club they would have had their answer one way or another within 24 hours max. Little old charlton can wait over a week, who cares.

I don't suppose he's getting much sleep either!
He's going out on loan soon.

I also wonder if we are the only team waiting on the FA to sort themselves out? This is mental how long its taking.
How long does it really take?
"shall we confirm his transfer to Charlton?" "na they were a bit late/yeah they just about got it over the line"
"Cool.....fancy a pint?"

Or is there just one person in the office dealing with all this?
Confusing all round
