ICT Use FIFA Rule To Sign Tansey
FIFA have many rules and Inverness are making good use of them to help sign a player. Inverness Caledonian Thistle plan to sign midfielder Greg Tansey on a free transfer from Stockport County. Despite being offered a new contract by Stockport and being under the age of 24, Inverness are using a FiIFA ruling where a player can move 'cross-border' if a new contract is not offered within 60-days of his current deal ending. Admirers in the Football League are at a disadvatage as they would have to offer Stockport a fee to secure his services to stay on the south side of the border. Tansey, who was voted Player of the Season by his team-mates, has been at Stockport since he was 13 and has made over 100 appearances for the Hatters. Liverpool offered the Huyton-born player a contract three years ago but he decided to take his chance in the Football League and has gained a lot of admirers with his attacking style and goals.
