Charlie Telfer Decision Reached by Tribunal

[Zappa 0]

If Telfer's as good as they've been making out, then £170k is a bargain and one which they can easily afford due to their bumper, 'booming' crowds over the past two and a half years.

£170k up front I hope. No installments accepted

The decision of the tribunal is final and binding at SPFL level.

 

Under league rule F11 any compensation must be paid "within 28 days of the date of publication of a compensation tribunal determination".

Thompson should now be charged for bringing the game into disrepute with his incorrect allegations about our '2 year history'

for the record, the United Telfer fee is 170,000 + VAT

Honestly, they (as in: Houston) essentially told the SFA head honchos that they have no brains and are clueless when terming us a "new club" against the official stuff coming from the SFA itself. Thus, giving them the V would be doubly welcome ... even though in the end we've lost a promising player.

 

they said we were a new club then offered 6 years worth of cash.

Dundee United have been ordered to pay Rangers £204,000 in training compensation for the acquisition of Charlie Telfer.

An SPFL tribunal met at Hampden on Tuesday to adjudicate over the fee for the 19-year-old midfielder, who moved from Ibrox to Tannadice this summer.

The panel ruled United must pay £170,000 plus VAT, adding an extra £34,000 on to the final bill.

Telfer moved at the end of his contract but Rangers are due a fee under rules governing the movement of players under the age of 23.

With both clubs unable to decide on a fee for the player the matter was then heard by an independent panel.

Rangers argued they were entitled to six years cash for the player between the age of 12 to 18 at a yearly rate of circa £35,000.

United meanwhile believed the Scottish Championship side should only receive money to cover two years since their liquidation in 2012.

The decision of the tribunal is final and binding at SPFL level.

Under league rule F11 any compensation must be paid "within 28 days of the date of publication of a compensation tribunal determination".

Dundee United, who are believed to be angered by the decision, are expected to issue a statement later on Tuesday on the matter.

Compensation tribunals are heard in front of three appointed members. One must be a "legally qualified chairman independent of the clubs concerned", believed to be league lawyer Rod McKenzie of Harper Macleod.

FIFPro vice-president Tony Higgins was also in attendance at Hampden and is believed to have sat as "a person representing or representative of players".

The third member of the tribunal panel must be a "member or nominee" of the SPFL's board.

Chairman Stephen Thompson represented Dundee United, while head of football adminstration Andrew Dickson was in attendance for Rangers
