Apparently Duff & Duffer are claiming that such a sanction was not available to the tribunal and intend to further challenge the determination. Wonder what other avenues are open to them?
They are not happy...and they just dont get it [video=youtube_share;DMwUCmuND8Q]http://youtu.be/DMwUCmuND8Q[/video]
Duff & Duffer have been claiming all and sundry since Feb 14th : The only thing they haven't done is to look after the creditors - which is the primary function of any administrators. Lots more to come on this. And, don't forget, agent Whyte fought to have these people appointed before the HMRC people. There are no avenues, only blind alleys! It is not unbelievable what they are saying on rangersmedia. In fact, quite what we should expect. Everybodys fault but theirs. They are doomed but do not want to believe it. May they rot in hell.
Furthermore. They don't have a single penny to spend - only mountainous debt! How can a transfer embargo possibly hurt? Another example of the smokescreen which is becoming more and more apparent. More and more propaganda to try and right irrevocable wrongs. Can't wait till the HMRC ruling comes along, then the EBT case, then the Dual Contracts ruling, then the Police Enquiry., et al. Much, much more to come. The surface has been only marginally scraped so far. May they rot in hell.
http://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...issue-statement-on-appeal-rejection-1-2299215 DUFF and Phelps, administrators of Rangers Football Club, issued the following statement tonight. Paul Clark, joint administrator, said: “The decision by the appellate tribunal to uphold the sanction, namely the suspension of registration of players for one year, is not competent in the view of the Club and its legal advisers. “Such a sanction was not available to the tribunal and should not have been imposed and it is the intention of the Club to challenge the determination. “The Club will consider seeking review of this most disappointing decision and it is a matter of regret that the certainty and finality Rangers sought on this matter has not been achieved. Everyone at Rangers is bitterly disappointed and dismayed at this outcome.” Charles Green, who leads a consortium purchasing the Club, said: “Our group went into the purchase of the Club with this sanction in place but we hoped the decision would at least be commuted. We fully support the Club as it considers an appeal against this latest decision.” Sandy Jardine, spokesman for the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund, added: “Rangers supporters will be shocked and bitterly disappointed by this decision and will find it hard to take that the Club has been so heavily punished for the actions of individuals.” why would they be shocked sandy? the determination laid it all out for you.
I believe that there is a byelaw that states that if the tribunal feel that the breach was such that the sanctions available to them were deemed below the level of the breach then they could impose any sanctions they believe to be equivalent seriousness to the breach.
