D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 No fast track and take CG back.Are you comfortable with that cush given the revelation today about the prize money ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan macrae 292 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Spot on. If we accept fast tracking to an SPL2, then I'm done with the team I've supported through thick and thin for nearly 40 years. For me the team that does that wont be Rangers, Rangers will have died in my eyes.Never never never will i accept anyone saying that fuck sake man get a grip i have been supporting this club for fifty years i dont want fast tracked but heh once a Ger always a Ger.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nothing at all to indicate that Rangers would be invited to or accept an invite to SPL2. I suspect SPL2 won't happen anyway because full reconstruction will go ahead but who knows with these numpties.I would be very surprised if anyone at the club could make a convincing case to the fans for accepting any such hypothetical invite. I would certainly be against it as things stand.If the reasons for wanting Green back are all as tenuous as this then his cheerleaders are struggling badly. We can move forward as a club without Charles Green. He's done his bit, he'll make money . Purely and simply we don't need him. Certainly not to quash an SPL2 invite that will probably never come.who would you have in CG' s place, and why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 So it's back to being Mushrooms again then. Just like the old days under Sir Daveexactly. Since the day green left we have been kept in the dark and fed nothing but shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury 256 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 who would you have in CG' s place, and why?A properly headhunted CEO with a good track record in sports/football who can move the club forward and remodel it from top to bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,460 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 exactly. Since the day green left we have been kept in the dark and fed nothing but shite.You're nearly right there Gogzy ( I would have stopped at nothin ) . But ,yes, other than the odd club statement we've been kept in the dark. At least CG went round supporters clubs, got a sense of our feelings and kept us in the loop.

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ally was in on these negotiations as well IIRCYes it wasn't so much it was negotiated away - it was more the point that someone alluded to in an earlier thread that CG then claimed they had stolen the money from us.

If you do then that's not a long term solution for me. No relevant experience. I'm sure he's a decent enough guy but we need more in my opinion.

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Dart he had to give up the money, or we would not have been allowed our licence to play.I have little doubt about that M. And while Swally is right - technically they have withheld money due to us - I dont think thats quite how most of interpreted it from CG's subsequent comments.

If this is what you are alluding to 're prize money, then I have never blamed CG for that. It was a no win situation and the clock was ticking.

So Green (and Ally) was boxed into a corner so none of these events should adversely affect his returnWe are just left with the paki remark againNot quite as simple as that for me at any rate Swally - Id need to go and have a look at the context of the "they stole our money" assertion.CG also told us everyone at the club was pulling together for the good of Rangers.
