Just wondering lads if anyone can help me on this, We have a player wanting to transfer to us but the Manager from the other team as far as i know is trying to block it as the player in question got sent off for them end of last season and he's trying to say the player cant leave till he pays the fine???
I was under the illusion the CLUB gets fined and its up to them to pay any money owed to the AUL?????
Mario, when we took Villa players when the club folded, the fine came with them. That rule is a complete contradiction and a crap one. The player is fined, but the club is responsible. So how come the fine came to us with the players???
In your case, Rule 19(a) says no player can move unless he satisfies all financial claims of the club for which he has last played.
Maybe because it happened last season, and at the end of the season all players become free agents - it could be a loophole. I dunno.
He should pay his fine though - he got sent off. If ye want him, then maybe ye should pay it, but what chance he is gonna pay ye if he didnt pay them? We didnt get all the Villa money from the players!!!
