pete 2,511 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) From sky news on17th AgustLord Nimmo Smith - was appointed by the SFA in February, days after Rangers were forced to call in the administrators. The findings of the independent inquiry resulted in then owner Craig Whyte being deemed not "a fit and proper person" to run a football club. Rangers also faced a charge of bringing the game into disrepute on four counts. Following a hearing, the SFA's judicial panel imposed a 12-month transfer embargo on the Glasgow giants, which comes into effect next month. He does have a wee bit of history between the SFA, .SPL and us, he's their first judge to go to when they want a decision made to go against us, funny that. Edit, he was right about Whyte though, but that horse had already bolted from the stable, just a wee bit to late for Rangers benefit, funny that again though This says the judicial panel imposed the transfer ban. Nimmo was not part of the judicial panel. Eric Drysdale Gary Allan QC.. Alastair Murning were the original panel members. Rangers' appealed to an appellate tribunal chaired by Lord Carloway which was rejected and decided to take it to the court of session. Lord Carloway, Spartans chairman Craig Graham and former Partick Thistle chairman Allan Cowan. I am not saying Nimmo is clean but he did not have anything to do with the transfer ban.

In short while a tribunal he led into homosexuality favours to judges for lesser sentences, he couldn't find any wrong doing while his colleagues were resigning and admitting guilt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
