Leigh94 10 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It'll be interesting to see if the new CEO, whoever it is, pursues the move to England or cross border league in the same way that CG did?Personally I would like to see Rangers back at the top of Scottish football where we should be and competing for titles again. Under Craig Mather though, who had links with Green, I would exect him to carry on pursuing a move, but if it is someone else who knows.

TMB 14,167 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It doesn't matter who's pushing it. English football don't want us it's that simple. For all of Green's efforts did he make any headway? The Door's closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Door's closed.^^ What a defeatist attitude.Green's sheer bullishness is why he and his group beat others to strike a deal to aquire Rangers' assets, and why he achieved some very significant things in his tenure as CEO.

Leigh94 10 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 At the Evening with Walter a few weeks ago he was speaking about how there needs to be a mechanism where big clubs can have greater access to more funds in smaller leagues. I'd prefer to push for that route rather than move permanently to be honest. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all of Green's efforts did he make any headway? The Door's closed.There will NEVER be a point where they will come and ask us to join. Nor will there be a point where we can just up and apply.Entry will only ever be gained by a long campaign of persuasion, pressure and possibly even legal action, but we have to start somewhere. I don't recall Green ever saying we'd be there next season, or even the one after. He was looking at the long game. It also did no harm to keep the thought firmly in the heads of the SFA/SPL that it just might happen, no matter how slim a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I would like to see us winning EPL titles but the chances are so remote as to be none existent. Where we need to put our energy is into a European league, this is the way forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Something to keep working away at im the background same with Euro league. The immediate future is in Scotland though and im more concerned with that right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
77amurai 258 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'd prefer that the next CEO we have concentrates on the here and now, and gets our house in order completely and transparently before we start shouting about England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwoman 22 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The problem is that any new set up would HAVE to be available to all. That includes every other SPL club being able to join. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ger 1,454 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It won't happen unless someone from within the club makes it their personal mission to do so. Perhaps disguised as an entire new structure to cross border leagues right across Europe. We won't get anywhere without definitive action. Green was absolutely correct in saying it was responsibly to push it as it increases potential revenue for the business; as well as being what many customers want.
