I’m not saying rules might not have been broken, just that I can’t see it’s Celtic’s fault. If I buy a car that’s in contravention of emission rules, it’s the manufacturer that gets fined and no one asks me to return the car or stop driving it. If the SFA registered the player and the Home Office granted a work permit then so long as Celtic pay up per the contract then it’s hard to see what they did wrong. Unless I’m missing something of course 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norkopping chairman certainly seems to think so 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norkopping chairman certainly seems to think so Since he seems to be the one who is out of pocket then I'm not surprised he's complaining. But again, if a work permit was needed (was it?) and it was granted then it would appear that the UK govt sanction the deal. I'd have thought the Swedes would need to take this to FIFA to get it sorted out. There's clearly a problem, I just don't see it's up to Celtic to solve it. I hope I'm wrong though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I’m missing something of course Yeah but in this case Bill it is a little different I think as this could very well have fallen under international governmental sanctions. Obviously a different industry but we insure a bunch of assets in sanctioned countries and we simply arent allowed to send any money to those sanctioned countries. So if they have a bona fide insurance claim we still can't send them their claim payment. That said, Celtic could very well have received government permission to make payment as a one-off situation. I agree in that I doubt Celtic will have any issues with this - the issues will be between Rubin Kazan and the former club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,742 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 During the summer Chelsea tried to sign Arsen Zakharyan from Moscow Dynamo but couldn’t transfer the funds to the Russian club due to sanctions. So did the yahoos manage to transfer funds to Ruben Kazan for the transfer of Haksabanovic? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton_blows_goats 5,466 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 They also signed Oliver Abdilgard on loan from a Russian club which surely would have required a loan fee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
