chilledbear 16 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 PFA Scotland Solicitor Margaret Gribbon of Bridge Litigation has today written to all English Premier League and Championship Clubs responding to Charles Green’s letter to them dated 29th June 2012. Ms Gribbon stated “I have been furnished with a copy of Mr Green’s letter sent to English Clubs in their top two divisions and consider that it amounts to an attempt to deliberately misrepresent my clients position. I have therefore today sent a detailed letter to the Clubs setting out the facts and repeating our very firm legal view that Mr Green’s allegations of breach of contract are entirely without legal merit. My clients are free agents and I am pleased to note that several Premier League Clubs have already made applications to the SFA for International Transfer Certificates indicating that they attach little weight to Mr Green’s assertion that Sevco is entitled to seek damages for breach of contract” “Furthermore it should also be noted that the SFA has confirmed that in the event of there being a dispute over registration the matter will be referred to FIFA. We can confirm that the SFA has today rejected to issue the registration for one of our clients to an English Premier League Club. The Club in question disputes the rejection and will now write to FIFA seeking their intervention. We expect a speedy response from FIFA.” http://pfascotland.co.uk/2012/news/statement-on-issue-of-itcs-to-players/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This was a strange one because I'd have thought no club in their right mind would sign one of our players unless they were 100% convinced of the legal situation. Even if it was a bit iffy, there's no way they'd get involved, so I'm not sure how Green thinks he has a case. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Surely we took legal advice before sending the letter !! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I don't care about the legalities, how strong the case is etc, i'll be satisfied if we can just make the traitors sweat for a bit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 6,075 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I don't care about the legalities, how strong the case is etc, i'll be satisfied if we can just make the traitors sweat for a bit. That's probably part of it and to see if we could get some cash in, as we did with Fleck. There's no apparent down-side to the approach that we are taking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
no12 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 That's probably part of it and to see if we could get some cash in, as we did with Fleck. There's no apparent down-side to the approach that we are taking. The only down side is that Green has lost a great deal of credibility by apparently not being able to see what is clear to just about everyone else. I'm less suspicious of the man than I was but I'm very concerned by his obvious stupidity - it's a dangerous trait in the business he has involved himself in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 From the STV article... The organisation confirmed that the SFA had rejected to issue the registration of one player, believed to be Jamie Ness, to an English Premier League club. The matter will now be referred to the world governing body FIFA. So it would seem the SFA aren't too sure about the legalities. Nothing new there then 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
