SS-18 ICBM Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just heard that on the news BREAKING NEWS: Sixty-seven players are involved in legal action against Rangers over the handling of their contracts. PFA Scotland has raised an employment tribunal claim, which Rangers say is on behalf of 67 unnamed players, relating to a failure "to inform and consult". The action relates to the transfer of player contracts between the oldco and newco Rangers following the sale of the club's assets to Charles Green's consortium. In addition, three former players Sone Aluko, Kyle Lafferty and Jamie Ness are taking Rangers to a separate employment tribunal over the circumstances that led to them leaving the club, citing "constructive dismissal". STV understands both claims have been lodged with HM Courts and Tribunal Service in Glasgow, though no dates for hearings have yet been set. A consortium of businessmen led by Charles Green bought the assets of Rangers old company while it was in the hands of administrators. Player contracts were transferred to the new company under TUPE legislation when Mr Green’s consortium took control of the club. However, several first team players refused to transfer their contracts and left for other clubs, a matter which has been taken to the Scottish Football Association for arbitration and will be heard next year. Details of the claims being raised were detailed in a share prospectus issued by Rangers ahead of their stock market flotation. In the prospectus, the Ibrox club challenged PFA Scotland’s right to bring a claim on behalf of 67 players and said it wants a pre-tribunal hearing to dismiss their claim. Rangers also said that they will defend the separate claim by Aluko, Lafferty and Ness. The share proposal also states: "They claim constructive dismissal. [Rangers Football Club Ltd] has challenged the right of these players to bring such claims for a number of separate jurisdictional reasons, but in any event these are low value claims." Rangers believe the claims have been made "for tactical purposes" relating to the dispute over the transfer of their registration which the Scottish FA arbitration is to settle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingrodent Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Is Peter Lawell behind this? Almost certainly - this is just the kind of underhand, anti-Rangers behaviour us Jungle Jims are always getting up to. Rangers have nothing to fear, though - all Charlie has to do to dodge this lawsuit is stand up in court and say that New Rangers are an entirely new team; that it's never employed these guys, because it's less than a year old, and that it has no connection whatsoever to the team once known as "Rangers FC". Get the popcorn in, boys and girls... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS-18 ICBM Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Is Peter Lawell behind this? There have been no posts on this thread from any of the deranged orcs during the past couple of hours. I'm sure one or a few of the most deranged among them will be along soon to tell us that everyone else other than those at Ayebroke Stadium are to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades75 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Surely Rangers weren't flying in the face of rules and legislation and doing as they please? I'm not believing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint dave Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Said on stv that they can claim up to 90 days wages. If it goes against them that would surely be quite a hit depending on the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades75 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Strangely none of the "The Rangers" fans have been looking in even. Scanning Rangers media to find out how to deny it or defend it methinks. Aaaah silly me. I've just realised that it's only an accusation at this point. In time honoured fashion that means that the players are lying and that "The Rangers" have done nothing wrong. That, or they are collating the names and addresses of the players (sorry, money grabbing traitors) so they can send them a special Chrismas card. Who are these people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades75 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Bendarroch's looking in. Expect "plastics" and "diddies" to feature heavily. Pretty sure that guy is sponsored by Tupperware and Sillicone implant manufacturers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendarroch Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Tedi Company and Club cannot be separated they are both a one entity so old Rangers (theclub) died along with the old company. I repeat A company cannot be separated from the club. Both one entity you say? No way it can be two things? I repeat it must be one entity and one only? So the plastics history didn't start until 1897? Have you told CAB? The TS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
