Idrissa Gueye - now gone

I have no idea how these things work - is it literally a case of faxing something through or is has there got to be some sort of tribunal process?

it's the same as anyone of any profession moving to the UK without an EU passport, it's a government work permit, there requirements are pretty much all available online to view - https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-sportsperson-worker-visa

Right on that page there's a 'within 3 weeks' line.  Obviously they try to push them through quicker and a week is more common but there's really no need to worry.

Huh? - this is more likely a replacement for TC23.
The level of negativity on H&V sometimes is breathtaking.

His facebook page (which may or may not be genuine) is saying the work permit has been granted.

That facebook page was created on July 2nd and links to a website that was created using Wix.com. Which leads me to believe they are both fake. I could very well be wrong.

On 2nd July he set up a 'new official page', which I assume the above comes from. Even though there isn't a single reason for him to set up a new official page.
