Mr Green said: "On behalf of the consortium purchasing Rangers Football Club, it is my firm view that it is vital for the issue of the SFA player embargo to be resolved and neither I nor my investors wish to see an outcome that would be to the detriment of Scottish football. Throughout this process, the club, the administrators and the supporters have taken the view that any sanction against Rangers - due entirely to the misdeeds of individuals no longer at the club - should be proportionate. "We and the administrators did not want to take the matter to a civil court at all. Unfortunately, the SFA's own articles fail to include a specific provision permitting appeals to CAS and the Judicial Panel Protocol contains a rule which prohibits any form of appeal to CAS or any other body. SFA statement "In referring the matter to the Court of Session, Rangers FC utilised the court's right of Supervisory Jurisdiction contained within Scots Law. Given that any two parties can seek arbitration, the club was not 'prohibited from appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport', as was claimed. "Indeed, no representation was made by the club to the Scottish FA to discuss the possibility or the process of seeking arbitration via the Court of Arbitration for Sport." Article 62.2 Section (m) of the SFA’s Articles of Association gives the governing body’s Board the power to refer any case to arbitration. It states: “Without prejudice to the general powers conferred by Article 62.1 and of the other powers conferred by these Articles, it is hereby expressly declared that the Board shall have the following powers:- “(m) it may submit or refer claims by or against the Scottish FA to arbitration.”
Mr Green lying? No way! "I have 20 backers"..."Erm, well actually it's only six" In an interview with the Daily Record after the embargo decision from the SFA he said "We intend to take this to the Court of Session" A week after the CoS verdict: "It was never my intention to take it to the CoS" And he still hasn't handed over any money.
lets not forget that this is a guy who said rangers will never be in debt under his stewardship, only for it to come out that they will be in debt from day one. good times ahead
