Does anyone know what is involved in getting 'clearance', what actually needs to be done? Does it take Swansea/Cardiff/Newport this long to sign players the other way round?

It is only a matter of clearing up that there is no outstanding issues with either the leaving club or the FA which can be done by fax/ email in minutes. Clearanace can then be given. County FAs do it between themselves in England quite often and it takes literally seconds.

Swansea and Cardiff are affiliated to and under the initial control of the Wales FA, as they have to be, and the competition ie The Football League/Premier League is affiliated and under the control of the English FA. This is known as dual affiliation for clubs not directly controlled by the English FA.

Spoke to Paul Barber at the Services today who confirmed it was the Welsh international clearance thing. It's so weird and needs to be addressed surely?!
