Well considering Louis is part of the board I don’t see any problems on that score, the home office is of course an entirely different ball game. And before anyone jumps on the bandwagon I would like to see Sayfutdinov riding in the Premiership this year. Edited February 24, 2023 by bigcatdiary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TINYS 292 Posted February 24, 2023 3 hours ago, Notenoughnerve said: A signing that will probably be seen as wrong by the British public in general. The timing of the announcement is beyond stupid and any media attention it does receive, is now almost guaranteed to be bad. Why should it be seen as wrong by the British public are they not intelligent enough to realise the war is Putin's fault not Emil's or any other sports person unless they have said they agree with it.

To be honest agree - I would have been reluctant to release any news until it’s 100% - maybe the permit is either in process / been told it’s going to happen - who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TB1 130 Posted February 24, 2023 The hand may have been forced by the polish announcement. However, presumably home office clearance would surely have been agreed beforehand. Or at least discussions with the home office regarding a visa and or work permit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryehouseforever 46 Posted February 24, 2023 No chance of getting a visa. None. Russia is at war with Ukraine. Russia is destroying a beautiful country. People are dying.What sort of message is Speedway giving out here? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
