Apparently he had a work permit to play the game years ago but after he retired it was extended temporarily and he decided he wanted to put back into the game and the county that gave him so much and got the above job.
The home office caught up with him and told him he needed to apply for extension/permanent residence etc. He applied but because he did not hold the minimum educational qualifications they consider he needs for the position he holds (though the private school were more than happy with his performance and he is popular amongst the boys, staff and their parents) they denied him permission to stay and he and his family (English wife and children born here) know faces deportation.
No doubt if he was unemployed and not benefiting the local community he would be granted permanent residency.
Makes your blood boil and I am sure you have many other examples of similar things in the US.
A classic example, snugs. Bureaucrats everywhere seem to get job satisfaction from attacking middle-class folks, while giving a pass to total losers.
Ex: Heavy fines for driving infractions for American drivers.
No fine for driving without a license if the driver is here illegally.
snugs, this is exactly what happens here, and it drives all of us nuts.
