The SC ban apparently wasn't deemed to be enough punishment given the gravity of the breach. Even if it was used, that would scupper the CVA, something which eould suit at least one party. The SFA still have the option of appealing yesterday's ruling which could throw another spanner in the works. It's a farcical situation.
Now for the SPL!
FIFA will tear the SFA to shreds over their handling of this, but they will also be demanding that action be taken against the club for using the civil court system.
Rangers have accepted their guilt, they were arguing that that specific sanction wasn't available to the JP and the judge agreed. There won't now be more punishment, just one that is permitted, which is what the judge also said.
I was never impressed with TBK, but surely you can't think that it's a great idea that, once again, the support are funding a buyout, and getting fuck all in return?
"@Martin1Williams: #Rangers Aidan O'Neill QC, for SFA said was clearly thought fine of £100,000 was "simply not enough given the gravity of the issues here"."
They either just go for it, or they back down completely. The first one will have Rangers fans going mental at them, the second would enrage everyone else and FIFA into the bargain.
Fuck having that job at the minute!
I don't think so, do you? The judge listed the available sanctions and it shouldn't be forgotten that expulsion was mentioned previously, but it was decided that it was too harsh.
They would need to give one of the above punishments which is written down. As of today's ruling, a transfer embargo doesn't exist, per se. I feel that we could end up in a heap more trouble that we won't be able to appeal. A newco being one of them.
