I am reading this afternoon of players being made redundant or having their contacts cancelled by the administrators of Rangers FC. If I understand the situation correctly, even though they will be free agents, these people may be unable to find new employment in Britain and in many other countries because of the transfer window system that operates. If that is correct, then manifestly it is not fair. Aren’t there laws about restraint of trade? I hope that the football authorities will act properly, so that no-one has to go to court to assert his right to make a living.
