Ashtonwurzel Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Would Birmingham allow us to play David Cotterill against them if they are safe and we are not ? Obviously if they need any points then no but say for instance that we agree to take him off their hands on a permanent deal in the Summer if he is allowed to play. What a crazy situation could evolve with DC smacking one in the top corner in the 93rd minute (against his parent club) to give us the 4-3 victory and safety whilst sending Wolves down instead !! Personally I can never understand how a player on loan is allowed to play against their own club, potential conflict of interest and all that, but this time it could work in our favour. LJ's fault ?

Nomad Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I rather think this would have been sorted in the loan agreement. No idea if it's an allow or disallow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the topic was discussed as part of the loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I thought it was a cast iron rule that he couldn't play regardless? That might just be the league above though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Originally , there was no rule and it couldn't be written into a loan deal. It was 'gentleman's agreement' , that may have changed as I remember a few arguments caused. Not very often it happens though, so I'm doubtful.

Dr Balls Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 The Cotterill situation will only be relevant if we still have something to play for by then. And that is far from guaranteed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURTZ Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Didn't John Ward allow an on loan player of ours ( David Seal maybe??) to play against us , and it was a dumb move , as he scored against us. Anyone remember this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 It will already be decided either way. 52.7 During the period of any Temporary Loan Transfer, a Player shall not play against his Transferor Club without the prior written permission of the Transferor Club (which, if given, must be indicated on the appropriate Temporary Loan Transfer form). http://www.efl.com/global/section6.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 August 1997 away to Northampton. John Ward permitted David Seal to play against City whilst on loan to the Cobblers. Colin Crambe put City 1-0 up, but then Dave Seal equalised and laid on the winner. Afterwards, JW could not see anything wrong. "If Dave hadn't scored against us, someone else would have".

RedM Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I forgot the Cotterill loan thing when I was talking to a family member about playing Brum for our last home game of the season this morning. They reminded me we have history against Brum, they sent us down last time. The player who scored the goal which condemned us...Wade Elliott!

Up The City! Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Whilst in Newcastle I went into Wilkinsons (refuse to call it Wilkos) and the cashier asked if I was from Bristol, expecting him to talk about the match he surprised me and asked how DC was getting on, he then informed me he was a Birmingham fan, and how he was gutted DC left as he is regarded as one of their better players by the fans.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 If we (and them) are safe by then and he does play it pretty much tells you he`ll be here next season I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Don't think it will be an issue, I will be very surprised if we are not down by the last game, would love to be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
