Would be interesting to understand whether Bertelsen would actually qualify for a work permit. Bristol Rovers tried to appoint a German coach recently but weren’t able to do so as he didn’t meet the criteria.
Look at a photo of Wycombe vs Met Police 35 years ago. The players, management, ground and staff are no longer here. But God knows how many people on this forum were at the game. The fans are forever and everybody else is passing through.
I’ve been on the government website for skilled workers and this is not classified as one. It is occupation code 3432 if you want to have a look. Maybe they are checking if any relatives are from the UK
That’s me as I love a good work permit query. So it seems to be under the UK points based immigration system. For the many overseas managers here, they must…
International sportspeople must also have a confirmed job offer and their employment sponsored by a UK employer licenced by the Home Office. Additionally, they must have an endorsement from the relevant governing sports body.
Maybe they are checking on an endorsement from whatever sports body that is. For transparency I am not ITK
I think in this case the relevant governing body would be the FA - so we could be waiting months. I'd guess Wycombe are already licensed by the home office due to foreign players being at the club. And the Danish Superliga probably counts as a 'top league' for the purposes of a work permit.
They definitely have licences for both skilled workers and international sportspeople. I’ve just checked on the government list and they sit nicely underneath Wycombe Traders Limited who can only take on skilled workers

That's not something you do for a manager (read: Head Coach) who's turned you down. Sounds like this one could have legs.
My thoughts too.

I mean, we've presumably got work permits for the two Danish players we just signed, so it can't be that difficult.
Struggle to believe all of the foreign managers In the league have British grandparents, must be more too it.
Only two foreign managers in L1 I believe, and both spent large chunks of their playing careers in England
Didn’t we sign them using ESC slots because we couldn’t get work permits?
It's quite an interesting (for saddos like us) subject.
BERTELSEN - SEN - SEN HE'S THE MANAGER FOR ME

Goodness knows, but we better get a wiggle on

The score you get when you use their names in a game of scrabble
Better tweet that.
Does anyone remember Egil Olsen? He took over Wimbledon after Joe Kinnear and it was an utter disaster.
Wellington boots were his trademark

Wasn’t he meant to be a long ball specialist manager and actually made them worse?
How’s the golf?
Don’t remind me.

You had to remind me….

Buckingham is now odds on for Bolton
Hiring the manager that beat them at Wembley. Good call.
I think it was Andy Warhol who said "in the future, everyone will be favourite for the Wycombe job for 15 minutes"
If Grace and Co keep winning we won't need to appointment anyone.

Hope that’s tongue in cheek. I’m sure you know in your heart of hearts that that is not going to happen.
