So you have to wonder why Josh Gowling wished Coke all the best at Grimsby. Gowling is just blame pushing for the inept set up at Hereford and didn't mention that contract signature on LJL contract!

It's not the fault of Gowling or Hereford and it's not their job to do the due diligence. Coke was a non contract signing, whose registration is with the NL.

We should have checked and we didn't. We took the players word for it that he was a free agent, so it's our member as far as I can see.

Very misleading by all party's. Perhaps we should chalk this up to being a 'grey' area and something to be wary of in the future.

Why didn't Hurst just sign him on deadline day instead of waiting a couple of days more? What could Coke have shown in those 2 days that would have changed Hursts thinking of him?

It seems GTFC have a lot of grey areas that they need to repaint black and white. Hopefully when the takeover goes through, the new owners won't let such stupid mistakes happen again!

How many people sat in the GTFC office and failed to do their job in order for this to go fornicating breasts up? Its inexcusable. They had almost a month for someone.........anyone to make one little check on Coke's availability.

Really is unbelievable. If I was taking over the club I would get rid of everyone in the offices and start anew. Too many in there extracting the urine.

As shambolic as the Hereford set up looks, we're just as bad if not worse.

We wanted the player so the onus is on us to get everything in order.  Surely it's absolute basics to check the registration status in the first place, especially considering the difficulty we were having with regards the LJL deal.  If that didn't set alarm bells off then what would?

Shame if we've missed out on a player, but also crap for Coke himself.  Although you could perhaps argue that he (or his agent if he has one) should have been pressing the issue too.

Im presuming it is possible for him to have his contract cancelled so he can walk away from Hereford as a free agent. With all the irregularities in the Hereford players contracts, itll probably transpire that all players are free agents anyway.

Can’t he just be released from any contract he’s on?

I think if you're released after the window shuts then you can't sign for anyone else.

Don't get why they can't just release him and make him a free agent, meaning he can then sign for who he likes?

Or doesn't it work like that?

Seems very harsh on the player that he is denied the chance of a contract and earning a living.


He would need to have been released during an active transfer window for him to be able to sign for another club as a free agent outside of said window. Otherwise you would have clubs releasing and signing players all year long.

We just don't do basics, certainly not to any reasonable standard.  In other times, we have even signed the wrong player.
