may 5, 2016 - A report 'Doing SFA for Fair Play' is released by
The Offshore Game, a sub-group of the Tax
Justice Network. It is highly critical of the SFA
for being conflicted and ineffectual, for
allowing a UEFA licence to granted to Rangers
Oldco in circumstances that suggest it
shouldn't have and for conflicts of interest at
the heart of football governance in Scotland
Description:
Findings:
President of the SFA, Campbell Ogilvie, misled the public and the judge presiding over the inquiry, which led them to make a material error of fact in their judgement.
Rangers had an overdue payable as defined in the UEFA rules and could not have met the licence criteria in 2011/12, just before their financial collapse.
The SFA is unable, if not actively unwilling, to ensure fair play. Major changes in personnel and governance structures will be necessary if the SFA is to show itself fit for purpose.
