Jewell said: "Our paperwork on the transfer was lodged on Thursday, August 10, but when we rang them last Friday, it was still sat on the FA's desk somewhere. The FA have shown a bit of incompetence there. Hopefully they will have sent it to FIFA yesterday morning, but it should have been done on August 10.
"It's very disappointing, a most unsatisfactory situation, and we're eight days behind schedule as a result. Presumably it wouldn't have happened if we were a big club, and I think it needs highlighting. The FA are always busy trying to put the game right, sending you letters about disrepute charges and misconduct hearings.
"Perhaps they should take a close look at themselves before starting to throw stones – people in glass houses and all that. My reading of the situation is once the papers get lodged with FIFA, it only needs a couple of days before FIFA get a tribunal set up. But unless the FA gets the papers lodged, then FIFA can't act."
A crucial point. Would this delay have happened if we were Manchester United or Chelsea? Makes you think.
