dune Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 Newco Rangers versus the combined might of several EPL clubs. I cannot see us losing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 Green contests this and has written to all clubs in England warning that the players are in breach of contract. PFA Scotland say Green is deliberately misrepresenting the contract situation, with union chairman Tony Higgins last week saying: "I haven't spoken to a single employment or sports solicitor who agrees with Mr Green's interpretation of the law." I'm no expert on employment law, but surely the players' contracts were with oldco, which has been liquidated, therefore I would assume that their contracts are void and no longer enforceable.

merrimd Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 I am wondering if this is just about the SFA not actually knowing how to process the request, seeing as the club that holds the current registrations no longer exists. Fingers crossed its just a paperwork issue, rather than them actually refusing to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 I would be extremely surprised if Saints, Norwich, Stoke, Everton and FC Sion had not sought legal advice prior to pressing ahead with these signings. These clubs would have to be very confident about winning any potential legal dispute, otherwise the moves make little sense. For what it's worth, I don't see how Green has a case, because surely the players' contracts were with the soon-to-be liquidated Rangers and not the Newco?

Fingers crossed its just a paperwork issue, rather than them actually refusing to do it. This. The SFA have pretty much asked a different club then the one that held the registration for Davis to give clearance. The (slightly exaggerated) equivalent would be asking Southampton to give clearance on the transfer for a Pompey player.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 This signing doesn't excite me at all, just another wanabee journeyman to clutter up the wage bill.

Sorry Nicola but you'll need to set your sights a darn sight higher than this He is 27 years old, captained his country and Glasgow Rangers and played 111 games for English Premier League sides (far more than any other current Saints player) as a regular for both Aston Villa and Fulham. Yet you describe him as a "weary old hasbeen/never quite were/wanabee journeyman". Bizarre as ever Charlie! Steven Davis will be a key first team player and I think given his background there is a good chance he will become Southampton's captain.

Saint Jude Posted 9 July, 2012 Share Posted 9 July, 2012 I would have thought the SFA have just rejected the request as they don't want to be held accountable, stuck in the middle...should Green want to start suing people...this way they can defer to FIFA.....it'll get sorted, will just take a while...

Learn your lesson. I prefer to think of him as some old gent living deep in the heart of the New Forest who has probably come to a computer as the original silver surfer. He likes the simple things in life and cannot get his head around anything more than the basics of football....at a push. He thinks his musings on signings, style of play, the manager and Cortese are both refreshingly different and ground breaking.

This is why I was asking earlier if oldco had actually been wound up yet. I guess it could be argued that they are still contracted to oldco until the day that company is officially liquidated?

That's our choice. Got to disagree with this. Unlike the pompey situation (sheer incompetence) the Rangers situation always includes deliberate allegations of specific tax FRAUD, duplicate employment contracts etc. They may well have been a "great club" once but they get no sympathy for cheating DELIBERATELY.

Admittedly a different scenario, but lets not forget the Theo Walcott deal with Arsenal. They could have stiffed us big time. We should pay some compensation, lets show a bit of class. Giving money to a club for players that they acquired directly or indirectly via tax evasion would be tantamount to condoning and/or rewarding said illegal practices. It could therefore be argued that we ARE taking the moral high ground by not giving them money for the player. If a burglar stole a TV and went to prison for his crime, do you think it would be morally correct to offer to take the TV off his hands for a few quid? I know my analogy breaks down somewhat at this point as the ultimate moral solution to this ethical dilemma would be to return the TV / footballer to the person / club that previously owned it / them, but offering money for 'stolen goods' is arguably the least acceptable of the options available.
