djbroxybear 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Fran Sandaza is planning court action FUMING Rangers ace Fran Sandaza is planning court action against the prankster who duped him in a hoax call. The Spanish striker revealed he is taking legal advice on how to pursue notorious trickster Tommy the Taxi Driver. The move comes after Sandaza, 28, was suspended by Gers chiefs over the stitch-up which became a web sensation. The hapless star blabbed about the financial details of his Ibrox contract to Celtic fan Tommy â?? who was posing as a footie agent. Sandaza also admitted he only joined the Division 3 club for cash. But last night he claimed the prank call he took last Tuesday was â??illegalâ? as their conversation was â??private at all timesâ?. He said in a statement: â??I received a call from an alleged â??agentâ?? from the American MLS League who attempted to call into question my position against Rangers by offering me a supposed contract with another club in the above mentioned league. Given that I have an existing contract with my club, which I respect, I want to clarify that at all times during this conversation I have tried to act correctly with respect to both the person I was talking to and to my club. â??At no time did I wish to demonstrate a lack of commitment to Rangers Football Club â?? neither to my manager nor to the fans. â??This private conversation has been published illegally in various media outlets, and I would like to reiterate that I have not made declarations which call into question my commitment to the club.â? He added: â??In spite of this, the club has decided to suspend me while they conduct an internal investigation. â??Naturally I am disappointed with this decision but I intend to cooperate fully with the club for the duration of the process. â??I will now continue to seek the advice of lawyers before deciding the best course of legal action to take against the man that recorded and leaked our private conversation.â? We revealed yesterday how Sandaza told Tommy he only joined Gers for the finacial rewards and hinted that he would leave for even more dosh. The star said he wanted to move to the US. He added: â??If I get a better league and more money Iâ??ll go.â? The striker was banned for at least a week after he was hauled before furious manager Ally McCoist and Ibrox chief executive Charles Green. But he will still pocket his £4,500-a-week salary. He did not train with the team before yesterdayâ??s 0-0 draw with Stirling Albion. http://www.thescotti....over-hoax.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,855 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If, and that's a BIG IF, this should ever reach a court; I wonder which 'Tommy' would turn up? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,293 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 'IF I get a better league and more money I'll go' He won't get a better league & won't get more money. We're stuck with this striker who's only got 2 goals for another 3 seasons 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're stuck with this striker who's only got 2 goals for another 3 seasons If Sandaza has breached his contract we either sack him get nothing for him, or we have suspended him on full wages so we can punt him and get what we get for him whether Sandaza likes it or not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,293 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) If Sandaza has breached his contract we either sack him get nothing for him, or we have suspended him on full wages so we can punt him and get what we get for him whether Sandaza likes it or not. Who'll take him ? he's only scored 2 goals this season. We're stuck with him unless he's breached his contract, which I'd doubt Edited March 24, 2013 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looks like Fran might just survive this without getting his jotters then, which is fair enough given that he was duped. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,232 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sandaza was a fool but he was induced by false pretences to disclose commercial information so if he's got grounds of action I'll be very pleased to see a smart alec get his come-uppance. The only question - what damage did FS suffer? Quite a lot if he gets the sack but I doubt if Rangers can do that even if they want to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,293 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I reckon CG/Ally might offer him a payment in order to terminate his contract. He's been a dud & offering him a 4 year deal was a big mistake 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
