ian1964 10,448 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 RANGERS could net Mervan Celik for free after an administrative blunder by Swedish club GAIS. The Light Blues were expected to have to pay £200,000 in compensation for the Swedish under-21 winger. Express Sport can reveal that the SPL champions have been told they might not have to pay the compensation set down by FIFA guidelines. GAIS still believe they are entitled to training compensation because Celik, who made his debut in the weekend win over Hibs, is under the age of 23, Their case, however, could be undone because they failed to offer the player a new contract 60 days before his last deal expired.It is understood that GAIS officials did offer Celik a deal verbally but never put it in writing and therefore have no documentary evidence to show FIFA should Rangers challenge them. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/299734/Celik-could-cost-Rangers-nothing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice wee moral question then for this fine Friday morning. Would you pay anyway in good faith? or Would you tell them to do one for being so stupid? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,287 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Honestly ... we should show the dignity that befits a club of our stature and pay them this compensation. After all, they groomed him into the star player he will become ... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juancornetto 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Give them hee haw, if we made the same mistake do you think another club would be so benevolent to us? Not if the "barmy bloggers" had their way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I agree with the pay them or names covered in enough mud without this on top you never know when we might have to deal with them again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,356 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Pay nothing. The player did not receive a written contract offer and therefore had nothing to rely on. Verbal contracts are fairly meaningless and therefore we don't know if GAIS wanted to keep him or not. Had we not signed him he may have been released. We don't know if it was a mistake or deliberate. Nobody knows what their intentions were and as such we should not have to pay anything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show the dignity & integrity that we should have and pay them in good faith. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the said fee already been agreed between the clubs?,if so then it would be wrong to not pay. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
