I wasn't aiming my scorn at you. It just makes zero sense even for a conspiracy theory.
The premise it that:
A player was signed to Coventry City, then Newcastle Utd and then Coventry City.
His deal with Coventry City came to an end.
He was signed by Motherwell.
The contract he signed states that a team he was loaned to (and never played for) while he was under contract to Newcastle, managed to implement a clause that states for the rest of his professional career, he cannot playa against Rangers.
The club he currently plays for, not only fails to mention that clause, they lie about the reason he didn't play.
The player is quite happy to adhere to a clause inserted by a team he was never contracted to, and is almost certainly an illegal restriction of trade under UK and EU law.
It would be certainly be explosive. Bigger than Bosman.
