ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 CHIEF EXECUTIVE Charles Green has revealed that European club debts of the oldco Rangers have been paid or settled.There was no compunction for newco to pay or contribute to any monies owed by the former owners.There was money owed, for example, to Palermo for Dorin Goian and St Etienne for Carlos Bocanegra.However, Green has decided that the honourable thing to do was to come to arrangements with all of the clubs who were owed money and he has done that with liquidators BDO.He said: “What we have done since we came to Rangers was to act properly and not just for the best interests of Rangers but for football as a whole.“We have a fiduciary duty and a responsibility to our share-holders and we want to run this club honourably and be fully transparent.“Coming to agreements with all of the European clubs where we paid all of the debts or reached settlements with them is another example of the commitment ‘new’ Rangers have made and not turning our back or walking away from oldco’s responsibilities.“So we have put down a marker in that regard and what we want to do now is get UEFA and FIFA onside. I have spoken to both organisations informally and in the next few months we will have some formal conversations.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesbro1976 162 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 i would like him to pay the magician that treated the kids with his tricks if he has not already been settled and any other smal businesses that we harmed in any way shape or form. i know the money we raised as a fans group helped square up a good few of these small monies due. it prob wont help them now but will reiterate the class we have as fotball club and institution.

Carling1873 1,416 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The big man keeps chipping away at all the accusations thrown at us leaving only scraps for our accusers to pick at. Also will be intresting to find out what he is working on regarding UEFA and FIFA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougied123 222 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Charles Green really knows how to do business! It is also my understanding that the club is also doing business with nearly all the businesses that lost out during administration and some have even been able to negotiate more lucrative contracts for the same as they were doing before.Well done CG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 12,184 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think it's simply just back in the good books with them after failing to pay clubs, and also for them to agree with them over "new" club rubbish and future SFA fuck-ups.

Govan Front 78 43 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Good to see this happening, I always found it pretty annoying when the rhats were bleating on about the "poor wee wummin at the flooer shoap n'at" that the big, bad Rangers had left destitute... bawbags.Does anyone actually know if there's a comprehensive list of (minor) creditors that were owed money & if so, how many are still outstanding and how much is owed to them? i know the RFFF paid off a lot of these smaller debts, but never noticed if there was a list of those who had been settled Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
