Fair Play at FIFA?

The following post comes about as a result of the research and work put in by Auldheid.

He has drafted the submission to FIFA detailed below after closely looking at their rules, and taking on board the points contained in the Glasnost “Golden Rule” blog. TSFM has attached the blog’s name to the report since the overwhelming – but not unanimous – view of our readership is that the SFA and the SPL have again gotten themselves into an almighty and embarrassingly amateur fankle over this issue.

We believe that tens of thousands of football fans will be lost to the game if the outcome of the LNS enquiry is not perceived to be commensurate with the scope and extent of the rule breaking that LNS found had taken place. In view of this, we believe that we have to do what we can to explore all possibilities for justice for those who love the game so much and yet are utterly disillusioned by recent events.

LNS is not being questioned here. He has found that RFC were guilty as charged by the SPL.

What is being questioned is the SFA’s crucial – and seemingly conflicted  – role in the LNS enquiry, as is the effectiveness of LNS’s recommended sanction as either a deterrent or an upholder of sporting integrity.

It came to our notice last week that FIFA have created a web site at

https://www.bkms-system.net/bkwebanon/report/clientInfo?cin=6fifa61&language=eng

that tells us that FIFA have implemented a regulatory framework which is intended to ensure that all statutory rules, rules of conduct and internal guidelines of FIFA are respected and complied with.

In support of that regulatory framework FIFA have set up the above site as a reporting mechanism by means of which inappropriate behaviour and infringements of the pertinent regulations may be reported.

FIFA say that their jurisdiction encompasses misconduct that (1) relates to match manipulation; (2) occurs in or affects more than one confederation, so that it cannot adequately be addressed by a single confederation; or (3) would ordinarily be addressed by a confederation or association, but, under the particular facts at issue, has not been or is unlikely to be dealt with appropriately at that level.

Discussions arising from the previous blog on TSFM, “Gilt Edged Justice”, which was published after Lord Nimmo Smith (LNS) ruled on the registration of Rangers players who had contractual side letters that were not disclosed to the SFA as part of their registration, suggest that there may be possible unfortunate consequences for football arising from the evidence presented by the SFA to the LNS enquiry that informed its findings on registration and consequent eligibility. There is also a question of the propriety of the SFA providing evidence on an issue which could have had a negative impact on them had it been found that they had failed to carrying out their registration duties with due rigour over a period of ten years when the existence of EBTs was known to officials within the SFA.

On the basis that the LNS findings require that registration rules be clarified by FIFA and rewritten globally if necessary to remove any ambiguity and under clause 3 above, this appears to be an issue that the FIFA should examine and that the SFA cannot address.

The following report has therefore been submitted by TSFM on behalf of its readers to FIFA drawing on the content and debate following the “Gilt Edged Justice” blog in respect of the possible footballing consequences of the LNS enquiry.

The hope is that by speaking for so many supporters, FIFA will give the TSFM submission some weight, but individuals are free of course to make their own points in their own way.  We await acknowledgement of the submission.

The report Submitted to FIFA is as follows;

This report was prepared on behalf of the 10,000-strong readership of The Scottish Football Monitor at http://scottishfootballmonitor.wordpress.com/
It is our belief that FIFA general rules of conduct were breached by the SFA and their employees in both creating and then advising The Lord Nimmo Smith (LNS) enquiry into the non disclosure of full payment information to the Scottish Football Association (SFA) by Rangers F.C during a period of player registration over 10 years from 2000.

We believe that although the issue has been addressed by the SFA the particular facts at issue suggest that it has not been dealt with appropriately and we therefore ask FIFA to investigate. The facts at issue are that the process and advice given failed to uphold sporting integrity, and that a conflict of interest was at play.

We believe the advice provided and the enquiry set up, where SFA both advised and is the appellant body, breaches not only the integrity the registration rules were intended to uphold, but also totally undermines the integrity of the SFA in breach of General Conduct rules 1, 2 and 4. (See below.)

1.  Firstly we believe that the advice supplied to LNS that an incorrectly registered player was eligible to play as long as the registration was accepted by the SFA however unwittingly, undermines the intent of the SPL/SFA rules on player registration and so undermines the integrity of football in three ways.

• It incentivises clubs to apply for a player to be registered even if they know that the conditions of registration are not satisfied, in the hope that the application will somehow ‘slip through the net’ and be granted anyway (in which case it will be valid until revoked).

• A club which discovers that it has made an error in its application is incentivized to say nothing and to ‘let sleeping dogs lie’ – because it would be in a better position by not confessing its mistake.

• And most importantly, it incentivises fraud.  By deliberately concealing relevant information, a club can ensure that a player who does not satisfy the registration conditions is treated as being eligible – and therefore allowed to play – for as long as a period as possible (potentially his entire spell with the club). Then, if the club is no longer around when the deception is finally discovered, imposing meaningful sanctions may be impossible.

2.   Secondly we believe the process followed was inappropriate due to a Conflict of Interest. Had the LNS enquiry not ruled on the basis of advice supplied by The SFA, they and those persons advising the LNS enquiry, could have been subjected to censure and the SFA to potential compensation claims had LNS found that the players were indeed ineligible to play and results then been annulled as was SFA practice when an ineligible player played.

3.  Finally we contend that a law should not be applied according to its literal meaning if to do so would lead to an absurdity or a manifest injustice or in this case loss of football integrity.
See http://glasnostandapairofstrikers.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/gilt-edged-justice/

4. We therefore ask FIFA to investigate both the process used and advice given to Lord Nimmo Smith to satisfy themselves that FIFA’s intentions with regard to upholding the integrity of football under FIFA rules have not been seriously damaged by the LNS findings and also to reassure Scottish football supporters that the integrity of our game has not been sacrificed by the very authority in whose care it has been placed to promote the short term cause of commercialism to the games long term detriment.

General Rules of Conduct (These are taken from the FIFA web site itself and can be found as part of completing the submission process)

1. Persons bound by this Code are expected to be aware of the importance of their duties and concomitant obligations and responsibilities.

2. Persons bound by this Code are obliged to respect all applicable laws and regulations as well as FIFA’s regulatory framework to the extent applicable to them.

3. N/A

4. Persons bound by this Code may not abuse their position in any way, especially to take advantage of their position for private aims or gains.

  1. Rougvie,

    Only admin that could be called that I can see would be if RIFC called up TRFC for monies ‘lent’ to them for operating their loss making football club. To what end? OK, it would lock in what is left of the investors £22m to RIFC and make it available for distribution to shareholders post winding up, but that would just leave a TRFC shell to be picked up by the Rangers men, possibly withouit even any property assets, and I’m sure that wasn’t the original agreement with Sir David!

    Orlits claim, I assume, is against Sevco Scotland or is that where the Sevco SOBB (I prefer my version) complication comes in. Who did they raise funds for? Mr Whyte, or Mr Green.

    Here’s hoping.


  2. I’m not a twitterer but was told yesterday by a follower that Ian durrant was in tears leaving ibrox on Sunday night also the tuped players including mcgregor jelavich and Naismith were hitting green where it hurts this week and to cap it all sevco was going under this week as well.please dont shoot the messenger.come on twitterati any truth can you enlighten us.


  3. So if Rangers go in to Admin this season, do they get docked one third of last season’s total or 10 points, for being a first offender.

    A question for Messrs Patey and Graham, I’d suggest.


  4. If indeed there is another administration event down Govan way, then any reasonable person would expect that Regan and Longmuir would have no choice but to fall on their swords, [I know !], for bending the rules to accommodate a new club lacking any history/proof of financial stability.

    They would have seriously failed in their duty to both the SFA and the SFL respectively, and to all Scottish member clubs, [and nevermind the fans !]

    And the irony is, if TRFC does implode and Regan & Longmuir actually did the honourable thing and resigned – Ogilvie would probably still be barricaded in his bunker for the duration… 🙁

    We know from Whyte that there was a £10m hole in the finances when RFC(IL) were in the top flight but without Champions League money. (Albeit with a higher wage bill) We also know that TRFC are losing around £1m per month in SFL3 with a wage bill of around £6m per year. Using simple arithmetic nothing adds up. Without an additional £12m being pumped into their coffers each year (Champions League money or an annual share issue) they’re going out of business again. No amount of cuts in their current budget can save them.

    Like RFC(IL) before them Sevco are a complete financial basket case.
    ===============================================================

    Its hard to see how anyone could come to any different conclusion.

    Interesting times.

    Lol no his clothing is not on fire but he has stated that he has NOT discussed durrant and baldy with Charles! When pushed on that subject and asked if ‘they go will he go?’ he got all huffy and started rambling about winning 3spl titles a few cups and getting to a europa final in the last 5 years ???? Who cares 😉 answer the question man 🙂


  13. Re chatter above about Thursday’s news from Govan.
    As far as Talksport is concerned, I don’t see Keays and Gray learning anything in advance about financial matters such as admin. In any event any potential admin would be sprung on the club ( or by the club) as a matter of urgency and not be known about 48 hours in advance. It seems more likely to be a football matter and with Gray’s links to McCoist, could it be a resignation in the wind with a deadline set for Thursday.


  14. So is McCoist in a no win situation ?

    If he resigned, his contract may provide for e.g. a years pay-off ?
    But would he honestly see a penny of that from Charlie, or whoever is running the show ?

    So he stays on to collect his very decent salary, but Charlie gets more personal/erratic – whilst the ‘cheeky chappy’ keeps his head down in an ever increasing, cringeworthy and undignified manner….?

    Karma? 🙂

    They (Keys & Grey) may just have been blethering about the previous week. There’s no indication as to whether it was past, present or future. On the basis of the quote, my guess is they were referring to last week, it’s a Keys’ way of speaking.

    I’ve no idea where the Thursday thing came from. I noticed some folks quizzing Phil Mac, but he says he’s concerned with a book deadline. So nowt there.

    If that’s not good enough for you, please feel free to continue to hold onto your belief, for I really feel no need to justify myself further to you.

    (I assume you support Celtic yourself, although your twitter account seems to be composed entirely of tweets about Rangers, so I may be wrong.)

  26. Below is a post taken from RM this morning. Line 4 may give us a clue as to potential events on Thursday.!!!

    Posted Today, 09:43 AM

    We are a feck up bunch, I have read tons of threads about back room staff they are shite or not doing their jobs or what is their role. Personally I don’t think it would be a bad idea to change the scouting system etc back room and assistances to Ally. Fresh set of ideas, different look on things with new blood. Ally need to learn to become shroud as a Manager as he will need to make decisions some people wont like you cant be m8s with everyone as the Manager

    3 away games and 2 home, that is not a problem ,however all games bar 1 are on a Sunday with a 12-45 KO. the other game on a Saturday, is at home with a 12-15 start.
    No wonder the fans are leaving the game in droves, they seems to be the last people considered when the powers that be organise the fixtures. Season books will be down again this year, who in their right minds would purchase one when the day of the week and the timing of the games are dictated by T.V

    Chairmen please note …. FAN WE SHOULD LET THEM KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH THEIR SBs

    Either that or a dead man walking.


  33. Think people are all getting a bit carried away with ‘Big News on Thursday’ thing.

    T’Rangers are still a bit away from Administration unless they have been handing out the IPO cash like sweeties and dealing with ‘internal debt’.

    From what I see they have enough cash in the bank to get through to next season running in a similar fashion to just now.

    The axe Green is welding is just trying to but them more time to juggle the finances before they get some cash from season tickets and from the orange strips going on sale.

    What they won’t have is £10m to give to Ally and £9m to spend on Ibrox or other millions to give to JT for new media/communication systems, or setting up world wide academies etc etc.

    Unless Charles and his mates have been squirrelling away the IPO money for their get away then I can see a fairly competent but uninspiring team playing in Div 2 next season. Possibly led by a cheaper but battle weary lower league campaigner.

    Thursday could just bring some more bluff and bluster from Charles but nobody should be surprised by its content.


  34. Two things;

    1) TRFC are takin cash on the gate for the Linfield game now (I’ll bet)

    2) Scotland Tonight going with an admission by Chas that he has taken money from ‘an associate’ of Craig Whyte.


  35. I think McCoist has been spending too much time in Charlie’s company…

    =====================
    McCoist quote ;

    “…I understand people have to ask questions and it would be hypocritical of me not to give the best answers I can.
    “I’ll always tell the truth and the fans need to know what is going on. They need to know absolutely everything. I’ll tell them all I can and I certainly won’t keep them in the dark.”

    ======================

  37. Looks like its unravelling nicely at Ibrokes. They were warned…

    In other news, sympathies to Pars fans. A bleak day. G Masterton strikes again.


  38. STV have Green on tape asking the MBB for money. Goodnight Vienna…


  39. After that interview I’d say Charles is dead man walking.


  40. Anyone at Glasgow airport tonight? Want to keep an eye out for a departing Yorkshireman?


  41. From football365.com about Dunfermlne:

    “The SFL enforced the immediate points deduction following a board meeting on Tuesday.

    The penalty puts the Irn-Bru First Division side into ninth place, below Cowdenbeath in the relegation play-off spot.

    The SFL also imposed a transfer embargo which prohibits the club signing players aged over 21 until they come out of administration.

    Dunfermline will also be subject to a further 10-point penalty and be required to pay a £150,000 guarantee if they do not secure a Company Voluntary Arrangement by the start of next season.

    A statement from the league read: “The Scottish Football League regrets the current situation that Dunfermline Athletic FC finds itself in.

    “We are fully aware of the impact this situation has had on all concerned, especially players, staff and fans of the club.

    “The SFL has a duty to protect the integrity and on-going smooth-running of the league and therefore following a thorough process, the SFL board has decided that Dunfermline Athletic Football Club Limited is guilty of conduct contrary to league rules, the interests of the league and its member clubs.”


  42. I think we should all calm down because the Bears have been promised two of the biggest screens in the UK to replace the old ones so that should keep them happy watching Green’s life story.

    And think of all that money that was going to be spent filling in the corners and increasing capacity which can now be saved.

    Things, like Green, are looking-up down Ibrox way. They might even get a glimpse of the nuke before it hits.

    But seriously there is no way this can continue – the silence on the Darkside is ominous. And to think it was STV that savaged the hand that had been feeding it all that bilge. Charles must wonder what has gone wrong. The Scots truly are revolting but the MSM aren’t doing this unless they know what coming next – we can be sure of that.


  43. Sally “we’ve received hundreds and hundreds of texts from well wishes from people down south,people in America,people in Australia,people in Europe,ever one of them saying congratulations but there’ve no’ been too many congratulations coming from anywhere up this side of the country”.

    It’s all very well questioning him about Manchester Utd and Dallas Cowboys but the real question is what school did he go to? It’s not a trick question but I just want to check his claims about still holding the school sprint records from approx 1968.

    Even if the school was closed the week after he left or burnt down before the next annual sports day he is still entitled to his cups and medals and we should all fight to ensure he retains his history. In fact possibly LNS could be called-in to assist.

    Just how many boycotts is it possible to handle at one time? On current form, The Sun, Record and STV are about to go the way of the Beeb. All that’ll be left is SSB broadcasting stories of victory, Scottish football will die without, the same club, et cetera – and Keys & Grey, of course.

    Colonel Walter E. Kurtz, on 09 April 2013 – 05:34 PM, said:
    We know there had to be some dealings with Whyte for CG to
    take over, Green has admitted as much
    Looks like STV may have turned against Rangers now too, I find
    that quite sad
    Desperate broadcasting and as Chef stated, has Whyte actually
    started proceedings?
    ———————–
    Once again
    A spokesman for Rangers confirmed that there had been a
    transfer of assets between one newco and a second separate
    newco. He told STV: “For the avoidance of doubt, Sevco 5088
    Limited bought the assets of the Rangers Football Club and then transferred them to Sevco Scotland Limited so that all the assets would be in the Scottish registered company that is Rangers FC.”
    That is from the time of the purchase of assets from the
    administration period.
    He then said yesterday sevco 5088 never owned nor purchased
    anything, so who is lying and why? Who is the person from
    rangers who released the original statement and why doesn’t
    green remember a statement of that importance?

    Here’s a thought, if Rangers are in debt to their own holding company can they place themselves in administration and try to agree a CVA with the holding company and pay them a reduced amount.

    Who else are they likely to owe money to, have they some line of credit with other businesses or institutions. How likely is it that they will owe anyone money, other than their owners.


  53. Looks like Mc.Coist is being groomed as the one, true constant in the whole RFC, SEVCO,etc. saga.

    Meaning that when the runaway train eventually comes to a halt, with Mc.Coist still on board, the apostolic succession will be assured.

    Green is being measured for his demob suit, as per the plan.

    Like at Sheffield, his departure will be under a cloud, with bulging pockets, job done.

    Enter the real rangers men, who “understand ” the club, to be greeted by Ally the Hero, who didn’t walk away.

    Anybody on here with an ounce of psychology knowledge will notice CG’s eye contact as he is asked the key questions. watch again
    ================================

    Why didn’t they ask Charlie about the claimed Apple interest ?

    I thought ‘iBrox’ was in the bag… 🙄

    [That fairytale was rotten to the core.]

    ………………………………..

    There is a company in Asia that was owed 400k…has it been paid?


  57. The penny has finally dropped.

    A bear on SSB saying if Charles spouts any more nonesense or lies he will get chased out of town (with implication of something worse befalling the man).

    Great stuff


  58. A hint of things to come [on Thursday]?

    Árd Macha‏@Ard_Macha6m
    The only authorities to deal with Rangers was HMRC based in London. The only people who will deal #Sevco now are the City of London police.


  59. Chic states “Ally knows were the bodies are hidden” Why does Ally not tell all the loyal fans that he feels sorry for. Who are those bodies we want to know, transparency. We just want the truth? In fact why does sainty Chic not say?

    Seems like Ally does not do talking away.

    Anyone think that Charlie reminds Ally daily of his famous line We do not do walking away.

    True mons, but I am trying to see things on their terms….not easy I know, it requires several theoretical and ontological somersaults! Not at all a problem for the admins of the Scottish game.
