ian1964 10,761 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 THE SFA have no power to remove Craig Whyte as a Rangers director. Their decision to brand him not a fit and proper person to hold office is a â??red herringâ?, according to a Hampden insider. The SFA charged Whyte with seven alleged rule breaches and deemed him unfit to be a club official. Whyte snubbed an SFA hearing on March 29, but his lawyers asked for it to be postponed to give them time to prepare a case. Our insider said: â??This business is a total red herring. The SFA has no jurisdiction to prevent ANYONE being a director of a Scottish football club. â??They can say heâ??s not fit and proper all they want. All that means is the person cannot represent his club at the SFA council meeting and they cannot go to the AGM. â??The SFA are entitled to ask if the person breaches their Articles 10-13, but these simply ask if he is a fit and proper person, if heâ??s ever suffered from a mental disorder, or if heâ??s listed as an official of another club. â??Itâ??s a matter for Companies House who clubs have on their boards. The SFA canâ??t do anything about it.â?

I thought we'd moved on as a society. Can they honestly reject someone on the basis of past mental health grounds? Seriously boggled here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
