JFK-1 1,693 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The Board of the Scottish FA notes the judgment of the Supreme Court and wishes to clarify the implications of this final legal decision from a football regulatory perspective. In light of the Inner House of the Court of Session decision, the Board of the Scottish FA sought external senior counsel opinion to ensure a robust and independent consideration of all implications of today’s judgment. The Board received written advice from Senior Counsel, amplified when the QC attended a full meeting of the Board to discuss his conclusions. Specifically, Senior Counsel was asked to anticipate whether a determination in favour of HMRC, as announced today, could imply that there had been a breach of the Scottish FA’s Disciplinary Rules as they applied at the time of the EBT payments. The clear opinion of Senior Counsel is that there is a very limited chance of the Scottish FA succeeding in relation to any complaint regarding this matter and that, even if successful, any sanctions available to a Judicial Panel would also be limited in their scope. Accordingly, having had time to consider the opinion from Senior Counsel, and having examined the judgment of the UK Supreme Court, the Board has determined that no further disciplinary action should be taken by the Scottish FA at this time. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=2986&newsID=17055&newsCategoryID=1 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,679 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 not according to the last three words in that statement. It's wording advised by Counsel to cover themselves. That's as close to a definitive statement as you're likely to get. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Agree, although it won't stop the moon howling puddle drinkers crying cheat! Right on time ---- " now is the time for Celtic to take the lead in disbanding the current incumbents of the SFA, a cosy, useless cabal of blazers who are not fit for purpose and simply suck the life out of the Scottish game. a fan-led campaign will only go so far. The SFA is its members, the members should be taking these useless feckers apart . " The SFA = Full of Rangers men. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
