ian1964 10,626 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 THE SFA have been told FIFA wonâ??t be stepping into the debate over the registration of Rangers players. But thereâ??s a grey area on what happens to their registrations, with Charles Green claiming theyâ??d be in breach of contract. Hampden chiefs wrote to FIFA this week seeking guidance but SunSport can reveal the SFA have been told to sort it out themselves, because Hampden holds all player registrations, It means the SFA would rule in any dispute if the likes of Allan McGregor, Steve Davis or Steven Naismith chose to walk away. An announcement is being delayed as FIFA drag their heels over assurances the SFA want in the event their decisions are disputed by the newco club. FIFA rules stipulate they would only get involved if a dispute had an international dimension. They could be called on for the big earners or if the likes of Dorin Goian or Carlos Bocanegra chose to quit. Each playerâ??s situation would be taken on a case-by-case basis, further complicating matters. The SFA are mindful of both the situation at Ibrox and the views of PFA Scotland that its members CAN walk. Itâ??s thought the hierarchy will now meet early to discuss a way ahead. A FIFA spokesman, asked if registration disputes would be down to the SFAâ??s discretion, said: â??Yes. Neither a player nor a club can hold the registration of a player. A player is registered at an association. As a general rule, a contract may be prematurely terminated by either party without consequences of any kind where there is just cause. â??Whether a just cause is given or not must, in case of a dispute, be assessed while considering the specific and particular circumstances of the concrete case. â??Consequently, it is not possible to provide a straight-forward list of occurrences that constitute just cause. â??However, FIFA is only competent to hear an employment-related dispute between a club and a player if the facts have an international dimension.â?
