That may be true but it’s still a restriction on his right to work. It’s like you being told you are registered to ply your trade, but only for customers with lower incomes.
As frustrating as it is, the rules are there to stop teams just terminating a players contract outside of a transfer window, or everyone would be doing it. I don't know if they will give him any special dispensation, but I doubt it. Must be horrible for the player as it's probably the best move he could have hoped for at his age.

Sorry Ginny just given my good star on non footy and tried to give you a gold star on here but says you only have one star a day. That Rob must have changed it again.

I understand why they have that rule, but the rules of the EFL do not trump the rules of the land. Unless Hereford are willing to pay him the EFL cannot stop his employment elsewhere.

Do you actually know that. Seems odd that both the club and player got it wrong. Wouldnt overly go on what Gowling said either as at the moment I wouldn't trust Hereford on players registrations and contracts. Several people at there club involved in contracts have mysteriously resigned lately and there not being investigated by the FA for nothing!
I think the problem is the club didnt do anything, not necessarily got it wrong, they just failed to check and relied on " Giles said" , when they went to sign is when they discovered they couldnt. This was after having him in the building for 3 weeks. One phone call is all that it would have taken to check.

I wonder what, if anything, the club are doing to try and remedy this situation?

I've read a couple of times that he is training with us at his own expense. Surely we can front him some travel money at least?

I agree Ginny, he still looks keen to sign and Hursty wants him. You do have to wonder what the hell is going on at Hereford. Why did Hereford either tell him or give him the impression he was a free agent? If you are told something you believe to be in good faith the you would not question it, especially if you thought you thought it came from a professional person. Why would Gowling wish him the best of luck knowing he was still under contract and not tell anybody? It's alright Gowling shouting due diligence, or what ever, but he also mudded the waters. Coke is without any income, we are without a player we want. The FA should not dither and let him sign, give the guy a wage. Investigate Hereford certainly but put the wrongs right first. Too many why's and not enough answers from Hereford.

Bowling wished him well because he was on non-contract terms at Hereford so Giles could walk away with 7 days notice, which Hereford subsequently waived. The problem here is that Giles was/is registered as a player with the National League and this registration, for whatever reason was not cancelled. I'm not sure whose responsibility it was to cancel his registration with the NL, and thats where the problem lies!
