SFA insist 12-month transfer embargo must stand or no SFA licence

Fucking joke.

Rangers’ prospects of playing in the Third Division remain uncertain because of a stand-off between the Scottish FA and Charles Green over conditions attached to the transfer of the club’s membership.

STV understands Sevco Scotland Limited is currently unwilling to accept the imposition of a 12-month signing embargo, originally placed upon the club by the governing body on May 11.

The Scottish FA want Green to accept the punishment as a condition of membership transfer, despite Lord Glennie ruling at a Court of Session hearing on May 29 that they had acted outwith their powers in imposing the ban on the club.

An appellate tribunal was told to reconvene to discuss a different sanction from within the rule book. This is currently on hold, with Green having the option to ask for membership to be transferred in exchange for the tribunal meeting again.

The sanctions available to the panel are unlikely to be palatable to the club, as they include the potential suspension or expulsion of the club from the Scottish game, as well as a possible exclusion from the Scottish Cup.

Should Green refuse to meet the Scottish FA’s demands, he will be forced to apply for a completely new membership not tied to the former club.

However, as Sevco Scotland Limited does not meet the financial requirements set down to join the organisation, they would not be eligible and would not be able to play football in Scotland.

If Green accepts for the signing ban to be imposed, Rangers will take up a place as an associate member of the Scottish Football League and will play in the Third Division this season. Clubs must have membership of the national association to play in a league.

Conditions of transfer

The Scottish FA have made clear to Green that they will only transfer Rangers’ membership to his new company if he agrees to the imposition of the registration ban.

If he refuses, the governing body will either transfer the membership but allow their appellate tribunal to reconvene, leaving open the possibility of Rangers either being suspended from the game for an indefinite period or being thrown out of the game altogether.

Should Green decline those conditions, the Scottish FA will refuse to transfer the membership and, as Sevco Scotland Limited do not meet the necessary requirements, Rangers will not play professional football in Scotland at least for the next year.

The Scottish FA also want Green to agree to pay all outstanding football debt as another condition of the membership being transferred.

They also want the new company to take responsibility for any sanctions later imposed by the Scottish Premier League following its investigation into alleged non-contractual payments to players.

At a meeting on Monday, Green told Ibrox employees there would be a “staffing review” following the decision of the Scottish Football League to place the club in the Third Division for the 2012/13 season.

Imposing a signing ban on the club with virtually no senior players. They don't like to hide their hatred, do they?

[Thommo 708]

[Senna 735]

How the fuck can it stay, wasn't it declared as illegal?

[bazzl82 2]

Are these clowns right in the fuckin head? We barely have a squad for next season

[simon 1,743]

Honestly couldn't make it up.

[BlueThunder 8,454]

Or change it to allow over 40s as well as under 18s. Then bring back the class of 98.

On a serious note. Fuckers.

[RFCstuart 317]

Honestly, with a squad like we have how can we take a transfer ban? Get to fuck.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Even though the law said it was wrong.

Stewart regan is a fanny, reminds me a bit of Craig Whyte the way he does things.

[rangers_1993 68]

Can see another date in court being organised

[FirrhillLoyal 318]

What a fuking joke.

[RFC55 109,177]

The way i had read it was if we accept the ban we can replace the players who have left but thats it??

[bazzl82 2]

Talk about fit n proper people, we've been punished enough

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Honestly, with a squad like we have how can we take a transfer ban? Get to fuck.

[GOAT 30,449]

No what. Fuck Scotland, they don't want us here, let's get tae fuck.

[ClintonGrey 365]

Contempt of court, throw the book at them.

No matter how much they would like to pretend it, football authorities are not above domestic and EU law.

[pennyarcade 42]

Corrupt bastards.

[SUPERCOOPER 115]

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Can see another date in court being organised

No, because Green thought we shouldn't have went to court in the 1st place.

[eosmhdo 1,879]

Will we have to run the teams formation past them of a friday before the game to make sure its okay.

What do they not want to dictate to us ffs.

I am starting to think that they don't like us very much.

We are going to have to be a bit more forceful with this shower of shite me thinks.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

No what. Fuck Scotland, they don't want us here, let's get tae fuck.
