It goes no further. Did you notice that Bazil is now arguing with me rather than purporting the thoroughly debunked idea that any makeweight in a deal for McGinn has no impact on the sum SMFC receives if he is sold by Hibs? That was where he really started being out of his depth...…….making "absolute" statements without knowledge of all the facts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazil85 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 14 minutes ago, beyond our ken said: you are 100% wrong, legislation is the accumulation of written laws and the legal definition is that pieces of legislation are the written acts of parliament, such as the misuse of drugs act or the health and safety at work act. These are actual laws and contracts are agreements. Legally enforceable through the courts, but only by interpretation and precedent and not by act of parliament. It's unbelievable that you refuse to accept that you were flying a kite by saying that a knowledge of legislation would explain how a contract works. they are two different branches of law. Legislation relates to laws in this country. Bills that have went through the appropriate routes and passed as law. Legislation has an undoubted impact on contracts, it can't be argued, you are simply wrong. My original point being that there is the legislative ability to draft a contract(s) that allow for one player to be transfered for money with another player going the other way depending on the completion of the deal. There is legal ability for such contracts to be enforced? My evidence for this... it's feckin happened countless times in football Yes or no legislation would stop a contract taken out to murder someone from being legally binding?

bazil85 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 17 minutes ago, beyond our ken said: because you contend that legislation governs contract law. it doesn't. You can refer to compliance with any piece of legislation in any contract, but that doesn't make it more enforceable, it is just a way of applying your terms. Just takes a basic understanding of legislation to know that it is legally possible. Show me where I made any point on governance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes no further. In the context of this argument, I didn't need to browse for any material as I know the basics. To be fair to Bazil, he clearly hasn't googled for info to support his argument. if he did he would have stepped away from the keyboard by now Did you notice that Bazil is now arguing with me rather than purporting the thoroughly debunked idea that any makeweight in a deal for McGinn has no impact on the sum SMFC receives if he is sold by Hibs? no s*it I have a better than basic knowledge of this stuff because of my current job. Also if you look at comments today, you'll notice my opinion on makeweight has not changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be in relation to John McGinn going under value. People have posted before saying things like 'Celtic will buy McGinn for pennies and another player for millions so Hibs avoid the sell on fee.' I've actively said that can't happen because of this part of the rule book and we could take it to the court of arbitration if it did happen. Regarding attaching a fee to say Scott Allan, if the player is surplus to requirement and Celtic come to terms on transfering him, the value attached to him would be zero. We have no sell on right to Scott Allan so we wouldn't get any additional cost. If they sold McGinn for £50 + Scott Allan then it comes back to the court of Aebitration point. But that won't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 2 hours ago, Soctty said: I can't see Lennon taking players he doesn't want. If that were the case I think the deal would already be done. If Hibs want Allan - who starred for them before - how is Celtic's view of him related to Hibs'? The cash price would still have to make sense on top of the player/players. Genuinely can't see how this is so difficult for you to grasp... Surely by that rationale then if Hibs really wanted Allan then “the deal would already be done”. I just think I’d rather have the cash to spend on whatever player I want. At the end of the day though it won’t make much difference as realistically Allan can’t carry much of a valuation. Anyway looks like it’s all immaterial given the rules so Hibs won’t be shafting us either deliberately or unintentionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellick may well be his 1st choice (I dunno) but if he believes them & Hibs will never come to an agreement, he may settle for somewhere else.

Hibs don't have the same financial clout as Celtic - the McGinn transfer will allow them to go back into the market and strengthen again. They wouldn't spend on Allan until they know Celtic aren't going to screw them over McGinn. But you are right, the current rulebook seems to cover this loophole to some degree.
