now having read the "announcements", it seems to have been the correct approach from an employment point of view, Mason employed as a player on an 'understanding' which went to the very root of the contract, this understanding fell through (for the explained reasons).



the correct course of action for the future (imho) is never employ a player until his 'status' eg nationality, is beyond doubt.



Still...very strange indeed..very poor...and a shame the club looked so foolish!
