the gunslinger 3,366 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Regardless of who anyone supports in theboardroom battle the SFA ruling about dual ownership is laughable and would never stand up in a court of law in a million years. I suspects Ashley's lawyers may well have told Rhegan's SFA just that. Thereare numerous example of dual(and more ownership) throughout Europe the courts have nothing to do with sfa rules. all a court can do is rule on whether the sfa have followed their own rules. if the sfa rules are clear then ashleys lawyers will be spiting in the rain. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,494 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I would actually say FIFA and UEFA are above the law. You only have to look at the Africa WC and the corruption of Blater to see that. Once you sign to play by the rules you just have to do that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What law doesnt? Giampaolo Pozzo owns three: Udinese, Watford & Grenada I would have thought UEFA would have wanted this sort of ruling harmonised throughout. Why did the SFA introduce it anyway? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
