Can Hearts (or FIFA) appeal the decision??

 

Doesn't sound like it but Blatter might hold his breath till he turns blue.:rolleyes:

No, that was the appeal, they are the highest body in the appeals/arbitration process, and their decision is final, and binding on all sides.

 

Although I have just run something through Google asking the same question, and apparently a tennis player once took a decision made by CAS to the Federal Tribunal, based in Switzerland, they annulled the decision of CAS, and CAS simply reinforced it.

There is some other court we can take it to. (it was in one of the papers today, said Hearts lawyers hadn't ruled it out)

 

 

Still can't understand why Hearts don't just sue the reptile for breach of contract under Scots law. FIFA & CAS have been clear that he breached his contract. So why not just sue Webster personally for lost revenue?

Do we really want to? This time we got screwed over, but like Bosman - we'll win some & lose some.

 

Now nothing to stop us poaching a contracted player on the cheap.

because then we wouldn't have FIFA on side as we would be abondoning their "specificity of sport" principle.

It?s all about pulling power - we can hurt smaller clubs this way and bigger clubs can hurt us in turn. It?s never really been our style but the OF...

 

This is mana from heaven for the OF who will be able to entice players to break contracts rather than pay transfer fees, but for other clubs it?s very bad news indeed.

Which is how the transfer system has always worked. Big club takes from little club.

Yep, but now instead of having to pay market value they can just put a word in a players/agent ear and and the players is theirs for next to nothing.

Pressley was a Bosman to Hearts - so were many others. We've also lost a lot of players when their contract's up.

 

My point is that the Webster ruling will work both ways - it's not an anti-Hearts ruling.

 

It may deflate the transfer market but is that a bad thing?

The Bosman ruling did not encourage players to break their contracts - Webster case will do just that. If you thought that the Old Filth were guilty of regularly tapping players in the past - just wait and watch what happens with this latest bit of nonsense.

 

I don't know about deflating the transfer market - what it will do is deflate the game generally in this country. It gives carte blanche to corrupt practice.
