Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I must have it wrong, I thought Walter was a non executive director. Didnt actually realise he had voting rightsNote: there goes my post count.... buggera non executive directors vote carries as much weight as an exec directors vote and just to round it off tge chairman' vote is the same as an other directors vote Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachothelegend 1,932 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The Dallas Cowboys subject is quite a touchy one it seems. Green seemed determined to prove STV wrong and was extremely insistent on showing them an e-mail which he had received that day. Now, I am a firm believer in "why say it if it's not true?" when in a position like Green. Along with the forged directorate forms regarding Whyte & Sevco 5088 Limited. Why would Green say they were forged if it was going to come back and bite him on the arse?I don't understand why people are picking on the minority of things he failed to deliver. Circumstances change day in day out, things he said at the time might have been affected the next day by some other factor?When you oversee the minority of mistakes and ideas that he failed to deliver you will actually notice the amount of spectacular achievements Green pulled off for Rangers.He saved the club. Don't give me "the fans saved the club". Yes, we played our part. However, if Green hadn't come in with his consortium and continued the purchase regardless of the CVA outcome I would be surprised if we were sitting here today discussing this. We would have no club, no season tickets to buy, no merchandise to buy, no RangersTV, no nothing. He put the opportunity out there for us to invest in the club we love and rebuild it.He took the SFA & SPL head on without fear. He fought nail and tooth alongside McCoist to have our license, to retain our honours.He defended our club from every attack from every angle and often destroyed the allegations source at point with no reply.He secured us sponsors for next season and beyond that aren't shared with the scum of the country.He had massive plans to help increase revenue in future years and as soon as possible - yet some fans were not happy at this. Again, short memories? Without revenue and money in the bank we would be back to where we started a year ago.He secured investment from £17m worth of institutional investors including Mike Ashley who is no mug when it comes to investing. Green had a plan, a business plan, which he showed and shared with all these investors. His plan clearly was workable. When this £17m-£22m figure was doubted, and it was shown in the accounts, the doubters were silenced.He actively sought routes into English football and away from this dying breed of football which is full of Rangers haters and run by Celtic (basically).He met supporters and gathered OUR views on how to move the club forward. He listened to what we had to say and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. He knew the supporters were the lifeblood of the club.He backed the boycott of Dundee United and donated the gate receipts to charity.Those are just some of his + points for me. There are probably hundreds more that don't spring to mind. I stand by my opinion that him being forced out of the club will do more harm than good.I am sorry to say Mate , this isn't good enough for some of our Fans.

downviewbear 142 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Malcolm Murray part of the old guard?If Green had kept his trap shut on topics he had no right touching on as CEO then he might still be here and that's before you drag up his dealings and connections to Whyte.Good fucking riddance!Wonder if his case of Rangersitis will see him give his 8% share back to the club/fans?prick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergio 1,199 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 There a few on here that would be better biding their time and waiting on the results of the investigations, because you know how wrong you were continuing to back CW right up until the end. Now on slating Rangers legends and defending people to the hilt without having proof that they deserve such defense. I hope that CG and Imran did nothing wrong, but I am not confident that they did. I will wait on the investigation turning out what we hope to be the truth, but since I was one who defended Whyte, I am not going to slaughter anyone just yet ...

Innocent until proven guilty rather than the other way round no?I judge the situation as I see it right now, if anything comes about to force me to reassess sobeit.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The mistake that Green made was bringing Walter back and into the boardroom.I almost agree although we still may not know the full story ... one thing is for sure though whoever follows Green has a lot to live up to because he did do a lot for the club in 10 short months Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
