It is imperative registration documents are also sent to, and you obtain confirmation of registration from, the Football Association.For those registrations types that are completed online, the system manages that process for you.The reason is that it is the Football Association that is responsible for the application of any applicable FIFA Regulations (for example, confirming whether a player requires an International Transfer Certificate), and will also be able to advise on any ‘work permit’ requirements for overseas players.Separate guidance on those requirements (now known as Governing Body Endorsements) is published on the CPS on a season by season basis – please refer to the Player Administration Section of the service.

It would be awful if lots of people sent emails to playeradmin@efl.com to see whether their automated response system was working properly and carried properly calibrated time stamps.
I, for one, would be very disappointed if anyone were to do so. Especially if they were to do so several times.

Done. Received back at 1.25 pm.
But did you send it 'close to the deadline', Golfie?
Unless I’m missing something, none of that explains what the EFLs role in this is, other than confirmation that the registration was in time to play in the next game.
I know they don’t have to tell us anything but it would be nice to know what the contentious issue is.
i have a feeling its to do with the CAFC officer who signed off----are they infact seen by the FA as the Exec who has authority to sign off etc.I don't think its a timing issue.
Actually, that is a good point JamesSeed. 17:01 is clearly too late, but 17:00:35 is 17:00. If you ask somebody the time, they don't give you the seconds. Mind you, there is probably something in the small print!
i have a feeling its to do with the CAFC officer who signed off----are they infact seen by the FA as the Exec who has authority to sign off etc.I don't think its a timing issue.
Good point, but in the absence of CEO, surely Chris Parkes has authority to sign documents, contracts, registrations, etc?
Otherwise who completed the documentation of Kayal at the same time?
As long as they are an agreed representative of the club. surely it is up to the club to decide who can sign it off. As you say, we don't have a CEO so Parkes would be the logical person to do so. But he would also have signed off other deals so maybe this is not the issue.
It does seem strange that we don't know more a week later, but maybe the club has been advised by its legal people not to antagonise.

Doubt it otherwise who was signing off the transfers all summer, we don't have any bloody staff do we! I would say the head tea cleaneris quite senior these days.
I think Dazzler 21 may have hit the nail on the head, maybe as an international player it had to be referred to the FA first to check that everything was all in order, and got international clearance first and EFL will go through the formal process of registering him now. Who knows what the EFL do, other than worry about minor things?
Agreed re the other signings unless someone else signed for this and thats the issue. Possibly Rolands GoFor went home and delegated the signing to another.
Timing seems a yes or no unless the FA had an issue with authority which needed RDs clarification taking it over the registration time limit?
Speculation and nothing is black or white in Roland World

I'd assume it's different paperwork for perms and loans... But I believe with all the evidence that I don't have... that this went to FA for international transfer clearance and is now with EFL to register.
In all the years I have been using this forum I can’t remember reading a thread with so many differing opinions as to WTF is going on. No one....not The EFL, The FA, Brighton or the club are saying a Dicky Bird, no one has a clue what’s going on....not just with the registration/ transfer, but the deal we have struck with Brighton, we don’t even know if he’s a Seagull or an Addick?

This is piss poor. Are they really repensting all their clubs in a fair way? Absolutetly not.
On Tomer Hemed’s transfer…
“We’ve not heard anything back. Steve Gallen sent another e-mail across just yesterday asking for some sort of response. It’s been a week now, so I don’t know what’s taking so long. I’m guessing it’s what’s going on with Bury and Bolton at the moment. I guess all their focus is on that.
"It’s wrong because there are other clubs that are in the Football League as well and we’ve got a player that should be here playing with us and training with us and we’re getting no answer. All we can do is keep chasing.
[Hemed] keeps texting Steve Gallen saying; ‘what’s happening have you heard anything?’ two or three times a day. We’re obviously pushing things our end but we’re getting no reply. It’s wrong, it’s a kids career and it’s two games now he’s missed where he could have been playing with us. It’s not good, I understand other clubs have got problems but we’re a part of the league as well so we should all be treated the same.
"We’re just hoping that they come back with the right decision. We haven’t given up hope, we just hope that they come to see that everything was done right our end."
Said yesterday what I'd do. Send them an email saying if we hadn't heard back by 5pm today then we assume all is good to go & he'd be playing on Saturday. End of.

Sorry couldn't help myself!
Done. Received back at 1.25 pm.
Am I missing something here?
The deadline was 17:00
Not 17:00:00 so as they are only requiring mintues, we had until 17:00:59 to get all paperwork in.
If the deadline is advertised as 16:59:59 then we have no case.
I know they don’t have to tell us anything but it would be nice to know what the contentious issue is.
But it should be on sent and not received time.
If there is no injury time then it'll end on 90:00 not 90:59
Otherwise who completed the documentation of Kayal at the same time?
