I'm sure they took so long to make sure they verified all the facts, provided all the evidence and gotten support and persuasive written legal documents from the FA....Legal issues are not quick processes...unless you watch Law and order

All the facts? The main and most important one was we were incompetent enough to miss the deadline by pissing about until the last minute.

But the alternative facts are all on our side.

According to news reports it was submitted on time, but didn't reach their system in time. So we were not incompetent.
I totally understand your frustration, but I am personally looking at the bigger picture
1 - I don't believe we would have purchased Silva or Silva join us unless he was going to get regular first team football (with uncertainty of DD leaving he was never going to happen unless he was leaving)
2- to back up the above, if Silva did join and DD didn't leave we are left with one player being benched and that will probably be Silva...our bench will be incredibly expensive
3 - Transfers are not a quick easy process especially at the last minute and on deadline day
4 - Silva is a great player, but we are acting like he will be our saviour, we are struggling all over the park, one decent midfielder ain't gonna save the day
5 - It is what it is and we have to deal with it, no amount of forum ranting is going to get Rudkin Sacked, Shakey out or change what has happened or change anything happening in the future. We have to just deal the cards we are given and get on with it.
I may be wrong but that's my view
You'll have to stop being sensible

This is my main problem with this transfer. We tried to get him last season. We've then had a full summer to try and get it sorted. If the selling club were causing it to rumble on for several months we could have looked at alternatives. Instead we've allowed it to get to the final seconds to try and complete and hit a snag either with a delay at our side or theirs. Either way we're arguing about a number of seconds rather than the months we actually had to get shit done.
I'm sorry, your post arrived after the deadline.
Fortunately, a very similar statement was made before it.

No, you missed the deadline. Should you require further clarification ask your lawyers to contact our lawyers.
