ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Rangers Chief Executive Charles Green has issued the following statement today.“In remarks attributed to me in today’s Scottish Sun I was trying to get across how far we have travelled together since the dark days of the Club being put into administration and subsequent liquidation of the old company.“No words can express the gratitude I feel towards Rangers fans at the way they have stood by the Club in one of its darkest hours.“They have risen to the challenge of helping rebuild this great institution and have won widespread admiration across the world for their backing of Rangers.“Not a day goes by without foreign TV stations or journalists telling me how amazed they are by by the response of fans as they continue to back the Club in huge numbers.“The reality is there were a few occasions in the very early days where I was clearly not the flavour of the month among some sections of the fanbase and I was subject to taunts and abuse.“However, that was short-lived and the fans are now behind me and the board and we have all moved on together.“I just want to make it clear that I believe Rangers fans are the best in the world and that is my heart felt position. I appreciate the article in today’s Sun has upset some supporters and for that I am truly sorry. As I stated, I was merely trying to illustrate how far we have all come together.”http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/2458-green-clarifies-death-threat-comments Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleyroad 894 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The issue is not with you Charlie, if you got threats . . . . . then you got threats , that's not on.who confirmed the identities were Rangers fans? and which policeman told the Sun journo that there were jokes doing the rounds . . . . . that is all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,700 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 So where.does the death threats come in to that statement though.Also how refreshing is it to see anything that the club doesn't like from the media rebuffed straight away.

ZeonBlue 378 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Its ok Mr Green we are well aware of how twisted these cunts are, had you got killed they would have probably hacked your phone for a story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 He doesn't deny it, or say that it didn't happen though.Deny what? Green never said anything about "bomb threats" That was the polis. He just said people were telling him to fuck off and sell up to walter smith etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just said people were telling him to fuck off and sell up to walter smith etc.Doesn't deny death threats.The headling on the official site mentions them, Green doesn't deny them, and he says he is just mentioning what happened to show how his relationship has changed with the fans.Perhaps you can't point me in the direction of the quotes you refer to when he just said "people were telling him to fuck off and sell up to walter smith etc", because I can't see them.

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,700 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 He doesn't deny it, or say that it didn't happen though.Going by that statement he doesn't confirm it either though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR1979 2,039 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Glad Green has came back with a fast response to the Sun article.Green was trying to show in a positive light how far we have come since he took over, the sun have twisted it into a negative.I have not bought a paper since February as I was sick of the negative shit about my Club.If Green is going to give an exclusive to anyone he should keep it to the website or Matchday programe.

Rangers Lady 2,380 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Green can maybe be a bit cheesy at times, since the magnitude of Rangers has gripped him he has realised there is a lot more to gain by making a success out of the position he has found himself in.Already his name is recognised globally.Add our return to the top on his C.V. & the man will make more than he could have ever hoped for on the back of RangersSo long as we don't get robbed or duped it's fine with me.Whyte passed up the biggest opportunity of his life by choosing to shaft the club and feed us lies.Green knows his best career & financial prospects are in making Operation Comeback the mother of all comebacks...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm sad he or The Sun said it was just Rangers fans. Why brand those animals Rangers fans?They aren't. They're stupid cunts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iang2911 423 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Nothing wrong in what he said, there were threats and he got police advice on his safety. We all know people were not happy, things have turned around now though and he is every bit a Ger as the rest of us now. Aye he will make money out of it but that is what he is there for, in the mean time he is doing everything he can to build a successful foundation around the club. He has done nothing wrong in either the Sun article or in the clarification he put out via the Rangers website. IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I wonder how long ago Charles Green made these quotes? Good timing eh from the sun to wheel this one out.With the IPO coming up etc.Charles Green still has alot to learn about the media in this country. You tell them anything they will twist and try and get people to turn on him.Thats exactly what there plan was with this story especially bringing it out at this time.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I remember the original interview back in July! He talked about moving from safe house to safe house. Shit stirrers using this to try and derail us. We are too strong for their petty games, and we are only going to get stronger. They call him Green, but He's Red, White and Blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
