can anyone answer this ? what will happen if rangers win their case against the players who have jumped ship will the players or club be held responsible for any money they will have to pay and if its the clubs will they go through with the deals. this could turn into one awful mess for players and clubs and if it goes to court could take a long time to sort out {Ed003's Note - I think you have answered your own question mate,it would be messy}

Having been through a TUPE case and an employee rep, contracts would usually transfer to the new company,but as long as the players gave notice that they did not want to transfer their contracts of employment then they do not have to join the newco.

All rangers players on a pro contract can leave the club on a free transfer sparking a mass race to grab there signatures

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Incorrect - In simple terms, TUPE states that their contract & employment rights transfers to the newco. However they can decide not to join the newco but they must notify the newco of their intention not to do so. Players that turned up for training or accepted payment are contracted to the new company and would command a fee!

Believable0 Unbelievable7

And you are 'what' to Jordan Rhodes?.....His agent?...his manager?...his wife??...his dad perhaps??.......no you are none of these, are you?....you are just a fan of a small club who is convinced its a big club, ....neither you nor the club will stop Jordan Rhodes moving to another club IF that is what he wants, if he decides he's off then him and his agent will make it happen (there is no doubt he's good enough to have other clubs interested in him) and there will be nothing whatsoever YOU can do to stop it!....and if the club get an offer they want to accept (even if the player wants to stay) they will still sell him, it happens, it's called football! ....so get used to it , you and your decision hold no sway whatsoever....live with it!!
