statement

[paulmason]

As has been said previously - not by any of us people who don't know the whole set of facts, but by a "leading barrister" - it's very complex.

So no, it's not that simple I guess.

Not really, the rules state that if you are banned form another sport, you will fail their fit and proper test. By not banning him, it proves the test is worthless and the football league is a talking shop and will be ridiculed by the press for this limp wristed decision.

I bet the "leading barrister's" concern is the legality of them forcing him to sell his shares, maybe at a loss and not the fact he failed the test.

Football League

What a spineless organisation.

They've had 2 weeks since the FIA meeting to liaise with FB's representatives and done bug.ger all.

Still, I'm sure there's a nice drink in it all for various lawyers.

In which case, I bow to your greater knowledge of all the facts and the legal standing of the FIA's uncontested decision; the merits of the jurisdictional standing of the FIA's decision within either the Court's of England & Wales or the European Court's: Haig Convention - and fully accept that the football league have just wimped out.

This is the way I see it. The football league wrote to the FIA, so they have what they need regarding the decision and the fact he has been banned from any FIA sanctioned event. This is enough for him to fail the football league fit and proper persons test, so they should have banned him.

If there are other legal issues arising from this, it has to be surrounding the legality of the original ban from FIA sanctioned events or the legality of the football league forcing him to sell his shares, at a financial loss, which would most certainly bring a court case against them.

OR it really is as complicated as Rocket Science...:devil::devil::devil:

Maybe they decided that the wording of the FIA statement was open ended or that it was flawed in that Flabio wasn't at the FIA hearing to be able to defend himself OR they see that this is NOT as simple as you make out?

Just wait and see...

What area do you work in Davman?

[Morris]

Bottle job.

[Bernie's Barnet]

Very confused by all this.

Scott posted last night that a heads up had been given by the people at Gloucester palce that it was "Au Revoir Flavio".

Guess it must have been a last minute change of heart.

Yep we will have to wait and see and I said what you said, did I not ?

The LAST thing we need is this situation dragging on for months. The longer it goes on the less chance we have of any investment in players in January..

Shouldn't Rangers be making some kind of official statement??

Why?

Nothing's changed.

[jfish]

The football league are meeting to discuss whether Briatorie can still be involved with Rangers in my opinion is something the club should make a statement about....
