Plenty of time to get visas straight. If it is a visa issue, someone has mucked up big time. Let’s hear it straight from Birmingham. It's in Rogers glovebox along with Gary Flints' paperwork🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 When MJJ goes this month (when Swedish season start) watch Zagar’s visa be OK and him come back like a rat up a drainpipe wanting his £3k a meeting increasing to £4k holding Birmingham to ransom to ensure they have some sort of team to put out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if / when Zagar returns it'll be in place of Hume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted Friday at 10:46 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:46 PM Can someone please correct me if I am wrong. I get the Hume for Voulas move. It is my understanding that if you drop a rider you cannot resign the rider later. The Castagna for Zagar explanation on the Birmingham website puzzles me. If this is a temporary signing then surely Castagna is sign on a short term contract (28 days), this is not stated on the press release. If Castagna has not been signed on a short term contract then I would think that Birmingham cannot bring back Zagar back if or when he sorts out his visa to ride in the UK. And I do wonder if or when Zagar sorts out his visa could be sign for another team Belle Vue or Sheffield spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they couldn't do that while Zagar was in the 1-7. I'm sure when a club drops a rider they can't bring him back "without management committee approval". I'm this case it's not like Birmingham were attempting to fiddle the averages, so I'm 99.99% sure Zagar would be allowed back. Last year Zach Cook was re-signed after being dropped & that was allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted Saturday at 07:12 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:12 AM Think it’s got to the stage where they’re not gonna block Birmingham from signing anyone or reinstating someone whether it’s in the rules or not. They’re blatantly dying on their @rse and need as much help as they can. I know there a lot who go by the “rules are rules” motto but even they can turn a blind eye on this occasion surely.
