pick the two tonight who will play Saturday and give 'em at least two games to forge some sort of partnership. McLeod and Dickson for me. Strange deal though, he's permanent so how can they insist he can't play ?
Loanees, yes. But a player who has been permanently transfered not being allowed to play for the club that now owns his registration and pays his wages against someone he used to play for?
Actually, if Shef Wed have any sense, they'll be on the phone to Parky saying that they're happy to waive that clause in the contract and they'd love him to play on Sat!
Was Parker a clause in the contract - or, as you say, a gentleman's agreement?
And are these just isolated examples - or is it common practice? If the latter, I was not aware of it. Can we tell Wolves that we don't want Iwelumo lining up against us?
We let Varney play against us when he was on loan. Why the hell would we allow for Burton not to play for us after he signed and is a Charlton player not on loan. What are we doing in these deals?
I know it's the principle of the thing - what's it chuffing got to do with Shef Wed who we chose to play up front? But stop protesting - it might get overturned and then we'll have to play him!
Be careful... what if Shef Wed decide to do the gentlemany thing and withdraw Franny Jeffers from their starting line-up? Wouldn't want that now, would we? I know our old misfiring strikers usually come back to haunt us. But if you were putting money on one of them to be as absolutely useless against us as they were for us, my stash would definitely go on Jeffers...

yes, was on Sheff W's official site when we completed the permenent move. Still not sure how we can agree to this though. Bottom line, he is our player.

I thought that it only applied to the premiership that you couldn't have this sort of agreement which was brought in after the Tim Howard/Man Utd affair.

Just insert "Andy Gray" into any curses that you would have aimed at Deon Burton.
Nope sorry Gillespie you are NOT allowed to play against us.
Parker didnt play against us when he went Chelsea etc. More of a gentleman's agreement type thing is it not?

I think there may have been something similar with Defoe not playing for Pompey v Spurs last year as well but that may have been a loan.
Burton is better than Andy Gray on what I've seen, though that doesn't particularly make him any good.... ;-)
No.
Hopefully it won't be overturned.
Would rather see Dickson or McLeod given the start and the chance to show what they can do...

Source???
Just because he is our player doen't mean we have to play him.
I can't understand why we would have agreed to this, but it seems that we have. I can't think of any rule that would mean he was unable to play.
we could be down to no strikers and Parky would still not play Dickson.
