There is both provision and precedent for this. Bray can sign contracted players within 72 hours of confirmation of place. Plus they can trial and register players who are not under contract with other clubs.

It's written into UEFA law (I know of clubs using it in Europe) and I believe the FAI will also make sure there is all allowance given in the pursuit of fair play, not to mention some good publicity.

Is there such a thing in the LOI?

The same allowance is made for clubs in general if there are extentuating circumstances - weather, illness etc. Andre Arshavin being a case in point.

edit: in searching for the exact FK Austria story (pardon my German has gone back the last couple of years) but under FIFA provisions on transfers there is an allowance given to the governing national body - article 6 - and in the mentioned case FK Austria were given a set period. Arshavin's transfer was given 48hours, the main reason was given as snow and translation of documents.

Link to that news story then... (and not the weather one, which most certainly does not allow 72 hours...)

Presume nothing where Tom is concerned, he has a rare ability to add complexity to even the simplest process.
