Quoted from Mighty_Mariner


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!


Thank you for pointing this out, but I still think that it is Hereford fault. They did the paperwork to sign him so surely they should do the opposite, or at least TELL him what he has to do. Let's not forget he's a footballer not a lawyer.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

If only we had someone with a legal background heading up our operation...

Sorry, we can try and point the finger of blame at Hereford all we want.  It isn't going to change anything.

Town wanted something and acted lazily.  Almost an expectation that someone else would do the leg work about it.  We should have checked, checked and then checked again until we were satisfied everything was sorted.

Just another example of the half-assed way the club has been run for years.

I am confident that the new owners will instill some professionalism and competence in our administration.

Never mind the formal rights and wrongs of this.  We had everything to gain from this move playing-wise. Therefore, we should have adopted the policy “don’t assume, check”.  We didn’t.
