Charles Green in the members lounge after Saturday's game

[robg58 319]

CHarles Green spoke for 40 minutes Saturday's in the members lounge at Ibrox; here are some of his comments.

1 - He met with Sky last week and refuses to sign up to the new sky deal which ends in two years!

2 - Rangers only receive approx 700k from TV money at present.

3 - All footballing debt have been paid apart from the 31k to Dundee Utd which he has a letter confirming would be paid by the SPL.

4 - They have agreed a fee of £ 1.3 million with Lloyds for the purchase of the Albion car park therefore canceling the lease which ran till 2025 at over 300k a year.

5 - The management team are currently looking at a list of players who will be out of contract next summer but would be available as free agents from Sept 1st 2013, CG plans to sign them up on a pre contract agreements next year.

6 - Rangers owed hearts the remainder of the Lee Wallace fee, Hearts were so desperate for the money eventually offering a 100k discount if we paid the cash two weeks ago. That’s why they couldn't pay the wages.

7 - Projected turnover for this year is 20 million. Next year 40 million.

8 - Share issue prospectus to be made public in a 21 page document end of this coming week or just after.

9 - Over 20 pension fund groups have an interest in the share issue.

Corporate road show to start this week re share issue Glasgow, Edinburgh

and then London for seven days.

10 - He once again stated that we have no debts and are cash rich at the

moment and expecting to make a 6 million profit from the retail arm now

JJB are out the way.

11 - Hinted at League reconstruction being masterminded by the SFL not the

SPL as he predicts the SPL will go bust without the Sky deal which he

refused to sign.

12 - Soon to be another bust up with SPL over Rangers TV broadcasts.

Doncaster says we need their permission which will undoubtedly mean

money to those cnuts.

13 - CG stated he thinks SFA will declare him not a fit and proper person to

be CEO of Rangers because of his constant war with them.

14 - CG insists there is a potential to make a 100% profit on shares for all

new share holders.

15 - SFA and SFL not interested in stripping of titles only the ******** at the

SPL pushing for it. He will fight it all the way.

16 - He is considering taking legal action against the SPL and SFA over the

agreement to allow us a License to continue playing football.

Decision was taken under duress he says at 9.30pm before Brechin

game.

some interesting stuff there. The SPL really have shot their own arse in this episode. Hearts really do sound gubbed. Whats that....400k we signed Wallace for then?

[johnw 22]

Probably a stupid question but what happens if they declare him an unfit and proper person?

That's not a stupid question, I heard a few concerns from a trusted friend (and Bear) regarding that very point just last weekend.

I imagine Imran Ahmed will take over if and when should Green have any hidden issues that raise alarm, simples. Green will be out.

[RAFREG 471]

Surely they can`t make someone unfit cause you disagree with unfair practices. Think Chares would Defo raise a court action if that were the case.

Anyone think he is angling for an all out Scrap with our Governing body.

[ritchieshearercaldow 21,575]

Some very interesting comments there

Why do we need the SPL's permission to broadcast our games? we're not in the SPL

[Iron Curtain 60]

Let's just say there may be cause for concern in past dealings, I'll leave it at that - shouldn't have any real effect on the club as a whole if so.

Or have Walter back on the board to turn up the heat with a few diplomatic volleys. They couldn't aim that accusation at SWS. Reagan and Co (including P. Liewell) could never take on Smith as he is a winner , a bear and has many friends in Scottish football. Smith would have them running for the hills.

Can you expand on the hidden issues? do you mean his issues regarding the fights with the SFA or some other issues?

[RAFREG 471]

I think Charles knows Regan past and is awaiting his chance to take him on,ie. giving him enough rope to hang himself.

[RAFREG 471]

Looking at the comments it seems he has set his stall out to back the SFL in their quest to change Scottish football.

He wouldn't have to be 'out', he just couldn't be CEO? Which leads us on to another question, do you have to be verified as 'fit and proper' to be a CEO?

Owners - yes.

Chairman - I'd imagine so.

CEO - ?

EDIT

Found my answer in the official articles of association. Stupid question

Each full member and associate member will procure that the relevant office-bearer, secretary, director or member of the board of management or committee of such member ... is a fit and proper person to hold such position within Association Football.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

A very interesting post. I've held the view for a while that anticipating when the current TV deal is done that Rangers play as hard ball as we need to play to maximise the value for ourselves and minimise the benefit to the rest. We have the commercial muscle so we need to use it to best advantage, As for a not fit person charge - would be guaranteed to result in such a huge backlash against the SFA that it would be madness beyond the SFA's usual capacity for mad and incompetent acts for them to try this. Re title-stripping - glad to hear he will fight it. We all should and fight them all the way through all the courts. It is our club, our history, our titles won fair and square so hard line drawn on this and we should fight with all legal means possible and if that means raising more cash for a legal fight hiring the very best legal team then I would subscribe to that. Re legal action about license - would need to hear more about what that would achieve (is it a claim for money or is it something else?). Wonder if it is intended as pressure on the SFA to indicate that Rangers are now starting to force the issue on reconstructing Scottish football starting with the removal of the chief incompetents and war-mongering anti-Rangers activists in the SFA and SPL.

[Iron Curtain 60]

Nothing to do with us or the SFA would you believe!

I don't know far too much more for certain (though I was told a wee bit more than can share at the moment) other than the reliability of the chap who fed me the info.

Plus it was indicated to myself that Imran is driving the bus in any case so I doubt whether would affect any long term plans for the club.

Yep, you may well be right on that point, I hadn't looked at it that way.

Not sure what would happen, every club needs a figure head at board room level and he is certainly ours.

[mclovin9091 1,388]

Green declared (wrongly) of being unfit: hands over to Walter (no doubt about being fit seen as he was manager of Scotland and good enough then) while remaining in the background. Not too bad an idea

Oh that reminds me: HaHaHa fucking Ha Levin has left the building.

[El Carpintero 546]

So if the SFA come up against someone who won't stand for their shite, they can deem him not fit and proper to get rid? No, that's not corrupt at all, honest.

[j1mgg 3,766]

He was walking past argyle house after the game with 2 youngish girls carrying his bag and satchel , he was also accompanied by a security guard.

What does Sir Walter know about being CEO though mate? He couldn't do Charlies job, he has too much respect for other people outwith the Rangers family nor is he financially clued up enough to run a business our size.

Would he half to? Could always hire an 'assistant' or PA who happens to have a lot of experience in a particular area.

If it came to it, surely Charlie would just be given a position that is not one of the above? Anyone seen Casino? De Niro does something similar in that film.

[El Carpintero 546]

But there is an awful lot of pr work, press releases and interviews, that is what i meant by him having too much respect for other clubs and people. He would never be able to fight our corner the way Charles has to. I don't think anyway.

[nachothelegend 1,932]

I heard Steven Presley on Talksport say the SFA made a complete and utter mess of our situation.

They have no proper leadership, and dont know what they are doing.

Said anybody who stands up against them get removed , and just stopped short of calling them a corrupt entity. He didnt miss them.

Said the took the easy way out ref Mavis.

[BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,292]

Could we not re-title CG's job description as Operations Manager or something like that , if those scummy chunts hit him with the not fit n proper card

[The Dude 20,026]

Owner doesn't require to be a fit and proper person. Vladimir Romanov isn't hence why his son & the other fella (fedetovas?) are the named 'office bearers'
