@drmarwanK

Let's hope someone isn't just jerking us off with that one.

his daughter at the bottom of the page says its his ligit account

Great news! So glad that there were no issues with this, because it could have turned out to be quite an embarrassing situation for the club...I wonder who Koukash's contacts are at the home office

Someone at Hull needs to sack their "excellent London lawyers".Didnt seem to take that long for the Doc to get his man a Visa.

"We've put a lot of effort in over the last 10 days to get him and he was really keen to come here.

"The deal was all set up and he was obviously going to be a very expensive player but one I thought would put bums on seats, give us a bit of creativity and put a spark back into the club.

"Unfortunately, visa legislation has changed during the past week or so and this has scuppered the deal for now but Rangi is still very much on the radar.

"We'll just keep trying. We are the club trying to overcome the hurdles the UK Border Agency has put in front of us and we have a team of excellent lawyers in London working on this on the club's behalf."

Given the circumstances of how the Doc came to this country and eventually marrying an English girl and having children then he must have gained a fair bit of experience in dealing with the UKBA or whatever they were called at the time.Obviously slightly different circumstances but also many similarities.

Except that the rules have changed again, making getting the visa easier. Nothing to do with the Doc at all, no matter how much he bigs it up on Twitter

According to all the "legal eagles" that have posted on here recently, and listening to politicians on the news, Visa's and immigration is much more difficult than it was. Rangi's situation may well have changed, the Legal Team employed by Marwan may well be better, more experienced or have more specific expertise than that used by Hull. At the end of the day who cares, the result is everything. Let the doubters eat humble pie.

So the last obstacle now passed,good luck next year
