The Dude 20,026 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Seemingly the SFA will reject the transfer of Whittakers registration to Norwich. Something about the oldco still holding the registration and both the new and old co have to approve the transfer. FIFA will be required to step in.

DavieCoopersLeftFoot 56 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The SFA would do well to just let them go. FIFA getting involved isn't a good thing in any way shape or form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papac, Healy, Kerkar, Little and Aluko are all free to move elsewhere. Whittaker and the rest may have to sweat it out whilst FIFA decide they are above the law again. Whilst we may not like it FIFA's insistence of non-compliance with contradictory (to football) domestic law may see these players spending much more time in a court room than a dressing room.

DavieCoopersLeftFoot 56 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 FIFA like to keep things inside the realms of football and the bottom line is the players will take it to the lawmakers and say 'our rights as workers are being violated' and they will probably win as we saw with Rangers and the transfer embargo.The SFA forcing players to take matters outside football sets a bad precident that FIFA won't like.

If the SFA feels this is the case (which contradicts TUPE) then the players should not have been allowed to resign and the oldco (as they are still the employer) should be due a fee.

Could backfire big style.on whom? Rangers? Isn't our problem now. We've done nothing wrong. Norwich have, at least in the opinion of the SFA at this moment in time, tapped the player up.

steveaoki 9 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 so does this mean that the players who have refused a transfer from oldco are still Rangers players.things are looking good then, that will teach them to walk away from us when we need them most Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersandy 594 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Think whittaker will prosper in norwich reserves. Expect a long drawn out affair before you can play for the big team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
