Guest Lloret1972 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I fear many of you are missing the point of the legal challenge (funded by the RFFF*) it has been raised against the restriction of trade - viz-a-viz transfer embargo and its repercussions to the trading business. * Which a fighting fund is for we would think.

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've seen nothing to suggest we have challenged this on restriction of trade. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbr 1,247 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Maybe we've got a slim chance of getting somewhere if our lawyer uses that argument as part of our case? Zappa , UEFA and FIFA have both publically came out and stated they would not be getting involved in this because they not only know the SFA are wrong but have privately informed them that the punishment that has been handed down is unenforceable , ( UEFA have informed them ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were challenging on the grounds that the SPA acted ultra vires in imposing the registration ban. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloret1972 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The word used was prejudice and my understanding is that in this instance it is claimed to refer to restrictions on the ability of the business (Rangers Plc) to carry out trading in a fair and equitable manner in relation to its competitors. The challenge is a not of a sporting context and maybe thats why Fifa appear to be keeping well away from it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 uefa can't enforce this type of ban but the sfa can. that's what uefa have said before. all uefa could do was ban them from Europe which would cause problems with restrictions of trade. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
