3 club rule-difference between Cork City and Liverpool??

**eamo1** · 17/06/2007, 2:10 PM

what was the difference between maschareno being allowed to play for liverpool and farrelly and healy not being allowed play for cork despite apparently having the exact same circumstances???i know this question goes to the very heart of the problem and is the source of much of cork's annoyance.the lack of a clear answer from F.I.F.A is a joke too.
you could use the conspiracy theory that it worked for liverpool because they are a much bigger club but then galway utd also were allowed to play rodgers despite the same situation for him and they are slightly smaller then liverpool

The problem was FIFA not recognising the ENglish loan system(loans under six months/week to week contracts) and we got screwed over it.

If they have a problem with it though I dont see why they havnt brought it up with the FA.

Oh and Liverpool would hae had the money to bring them through the courts and prove this rule pretty illegal

Really, because it states quite clearly in the FIFA guidelines that a player isn't allowed to play for 3 different clubs in the one season, and that clubs must make a case to FIFA if they wish to go against this rule. I think that states their position quite clearly, you went against the rule, made your case and lost, get over it.

There's another thread given to this very subject that goes into this matter over the course of a few pages, look it up and you'll get your answers eamo

your failing to see rogers didnt play for a foreign team in the 3 team rule, they were all LOI and one went belly up!!..... also why are you just mentioning him there was a couple of others too at that time.

Its nothing to do with them playing abroad, well not just that. If you read the CAS report in the otehr thread it clearly states the problem was the loan deals.

**eamo1** · 17/06/2007, 3:02 PM

thats why i picked him.im well aware there were others,pardon me for mentioning a utd player

The CAS Ruling criticised FIFA for lack of transparency in the excepts rule. Its impossible to know what the exception rules are.

IMO FIFA allowed Liverpool an exception as they knew Liverpool had the financial muscle to bring a case before the english and/or European courts. If that happened it would have forced them to remove the rule completely. Cork City do not have such resources. Its a bad football rule as its not as if City were trying to hire in some ringers for a big game.

**Mr A** · 17/06/2007, 4:13 PM

The Galway United case was exceptional because the player's club had folded and to deny him the right to work would be totally unfair and indeed probably illegal. Similarly in the case of Hynes for Derry I think the fact that he was sacked from Dundalk was what made the difference.

All that said I'm not sure why Liverpool were allowed to proceed and Cork were not. Presumably something to do with the insane ownership deals surrounding Mascherano or something. Still- the system should be transparent and open, and it is clearly anything but.

The only thing about the whole situation that has a question mark for me is the FAIs dealings in the whole matter. It'll always be suspect imo, and its for this and other reasons i wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them.
