BBC site reported today that "Newcastle threaten to complain to football's governing body after Danish youngster Peter Lovenkrands signs for Rangers."

Can someone shed some light on how complaining to FIFA or UEFA helps? Likely result:Lovenwho would remain in Glasgow, Danish FA gets a warning, newspapers have a field day writing about the board being sore loser, YBR continues his search for that illusive cover for Shearer and Ferguson, Carl Cort coming this way for 7m??
