simplythebest 11,453 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Are you fishing, or is this serious?Some don't feel right giving Charles all the credit for "saving" Rangers. He contributed along with numerous others and, most importantly, the Rangers fans. Without whom Charles would have accomplished fuck all!Nor would our fans have accomplished anything without him.

Calgacus 88 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 there were other bids for the club. The one from Zeus was a bit higher than the others, so it was successful. There was always going to be a winner in the bidding process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,979 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I don't think we can ignore the input by Green and his group. It is highly likely that another group would have eventually bought the Club from D & P but I very much doubt they would have stood up to the SPL/SFA, etc cabal. I could easily see the situation that any other bidder would have capitulated to the title-stripping demands and other punitive sanctions heaped upon us. Green may be a showman but he sensed the mood of the fans and fought our corner far better than most others have or would have done. There is a fair bit of me sorry to see Green go as overall I felt he did a pretty good job. I appreciate that Green should have been more open with the fans, he underestimated the support and our ability to accept the whole truth regarding his meetings with Whyte, etc. Craig Mather has been underwhelming to date. It may be early in his tenure but he should be trying to make a good impression on us. In that regard, he has failed due to the lack of comment on many issues.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 There's a huge contradiction for me where people say we had reason to worry, yet insist someone, anyone was always going to buy the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not comfortable being lied to on a consistent basis by our then CEO. Would feel the same no matter who it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly stated he didn't care about title stripping til Ally set him straight that it would not be acceptable at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
