Smile 26,600 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The Scottish Football Association will have to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to pursue a case against Rangers for an alleged breach of rules over a UEFA licence. The Glasgow club's legal team has successfully argued that the issues surrounding the licence for the 2011-12 season would need to be dealt with by the Swiss-based court under the terms of the five-way agreement, which allowed Rangers to continue playing in 2012. Rangers refused to accept a notice of complaint issued in May by the SFA compliance officer which raised two charges relating to complying with UEFA rules, observing the principles of sportsmanship and "behaving towards the Scottish FA and other members with the utmost good faith". An SFA statement read: "This preliminary issue raised by Rangers FC challenged the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA's Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal to hear the case, and contended that the notice of complaint must be determined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "Having received submissions on 26 June the Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal have issued a decision upholding the preliminary issue raised by the club. "The Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal proposes to continue consideration of the complaint until parties consider next steps and terms of reference for any remit to CAS." n 2011, Rangers told the SFA they were in dispute with HMRC over the "Wee Tax Case" – a Discounted Option Scheme used to play players at Ibrox between 2000 to 2002. But during the Craig Whyte trial last year, directors at Rangers and the Murray Group told the court they had agreed to pay the taxman the cash and the Wee Tax Case money was already overdue in November 2010 – before the UEFA licence was applied for. The SFA noted the evidence and took legal advice before asking their compliance officer to probe the matter. In response to Thursday's ruling, Rangers expressed hope that the SFA would now consider the matter closed. A club statement said: "Rangers has always been clear about the futility of this action and hopes the Scottish FA will now put the matter to bed and agree to move on and concentrate on the development of Scottish Football in the interests of all members of the SFA."

Grundy 731 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hope I'm right in hoping this is a big GIRFUY to the SFA and there is little chance of them going to the CAS ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergi1980 311 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The SFA love chasing lost causes. Yet again it's us on the receiving end. Good enough for them I hope it costs them a fortune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted July 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 The govern body responsible for giving out the relevant license has already responded that we don’t have a case to answer. Serious questions need to be asked onto what our own govern body then has to achieve by taking this action. Enough is enough, it’s not them that should be taking us to c.a.s it should be us taking that corrupt fenian bastards to them.

Popular Post FSM 20,892 Posted July 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 The SFA are a bit like your missus. You think everything's going fine and then suddenly out of nowhere they start arguing with you about something you said 5 years ago. You try and argue your case, but ultimately you know it'll probably cost you money to get some peace again.
