for_heaven's_Saint Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 Not the most enthusiastic interview I've ever heard despite the awful interviewer trying to convince him he should be excited about everything.

doubleonothing Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 Sky Sports @SkySports The SFA has been asked to provide information by FIFA about why former Rangers players have been blocked from moving. http://bit.ly/OH2Ktx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 An update from the SFA website: Why have the Scottish FA blocked the transfer of Rangers players to other clubs? The Scottish FA issued a guidance note, based on legal advice and without prejudice, to both Rangers FC and PFA Scotland. Certain players have now chosen not to transfer across under TUPE regulations and, instead, agreed contracts elsewhere. On a procedural basis, the Scottish FA cannot process an International Transfer Certificate via FIFA’s Transfer Management System where there is an ongoing contractual dispute. Rangers FC have confirmed that there is such a contractual dispute. In the meantime, the new club(s) can request a temporary transfer from FIFA in order that the player(s) is free to play while the dispute process unfolds. This process has commenced in relation to a number of the players in question. At the request of one of the parties in dispute, the Scottish FA, through its Articles, can convene an Arbitration Panel, with either side selecting from a list of Panel members, with the two appointees subsequently selecting a Chair of the panel. Rangers FC have made such a request to the Scottish FA. We would naturally seek an outcome as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The administration of football is power-hungry and incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 (edited) Nige said post match that the deal is "done and dusted", so no worries there. Rangers don't have a leg to stand on in this situation anyway. We shall see, Scottish Law is strange sometimes.Like the "unproven" verdict in criminal cases.

trousers Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9820063.Buttner_deal_still_in_the_balance/ Tucked away in today's Buttner story in the Echo is this: "Steven Davis, who is still unable to play until FIFA sort out his international transfer certificate wrangle."

pingwing Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 Hmmm....so from that can we assume Adkins is not being completely straight about the situation in his recent Saints Player interviews? At the time of the signing Rangers hadn't protested the clearance of their transfer, so he (under the best legal assumption) was under the impression there should be no problem. Bloody stupid of the old Rangers to protest when they have no leg to stand on and are just taking advantage of the SFA's blinding inability to do anything whilst their pet club shows up what a mess Scottish football is. We'll be able to play him come August 19th because FIFA got involved at the start of the week demanding to know what all the fuss is about, so the SFA could risk fines and penalties of their own if they don't sort it out or at least respond to the letter by next monday. (A part of me see's the champions league berths being taken away from the spl if they don't sort it out soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, it's good news, just seems out of stereotype From the general consensus we're held in high regard by Burnley and CPFC for our dealings with them, regarding Rodriguez and Clyne. People who say we are difficult are those with an agenda who have lost out because of a deal falling through (i.e agents).

The STEREOTYPED track record as alluded to previously. Examples of 200 page threads going back a couple of years, Jamal being one of them, Buttner POSSIBLY being another. Stop trying to put me into a box that I don't inhabit. There are enough posters on here who post in the opinion of NC being that way. Now, 4 players of quality have been picked up from Rangers for free, and yet we pay 800k. So just because NC has some cash you don't think that is deemed worthy of raising at least an eyebrow?
