Thanks. Makes me a bit uneasy if I’m honest that we are trying to exploit a loophole of whether his registration was properly completed. Especially as pinning our hopes on Nantes using a dodgy agent that we freely used ourselves at that time.

Mainly just feel for the family as this continues to drag on.
