Charles Green Wants Rangers Return

I can reveal that Charles Green wants to return to Rangers and finish the job he started.

Scotching rumours that a recent shares transaction was him off loading shares, he reminded me that he is not in a position to sell until December.

Big Chuck also revealed in a phone conversation that he would be happy to rejoin the Ibrox board, perhaps in a Vice-Chairman or Deputy Chairman role.

Green said: “I have 5 million shares and have not let go of 1.5 million over the past few days. The shares sold were by an investor who is not happy with the way things have gone.”

Green keeps himself informed about matters RFC and is aware of Chairman Walter Smith’s recent pronouncements about not being fully confident of his ability to do the job long-term.

I was again reminded by CG that he always wanted Walter in the Chair and said that he felt bad he hasn’t been around lately to help him.

“Walter has done a great job keeping things on course,” Green told me. “I always knew his steadiness was what Rangers needed. I note that Walter has said he is looking to step down at some point but I am willing to come in as Deputy Chairman to help.”

One matter that has baffled Rangers fans is why the blunt-talking Yorkshireman left when he did, rather than stick around to front the situation when he was falsely accused by Craig Whyte.

“I took advice from trusted friends at the time and felt it would be better if I was off the scene,” Green told me. “I’m still not sure if I did the right thing but one thing I learned in my time at Rangers is the club comes first. No-one is bigger than Rangers.”

Green is very aware that some have used his absence to try and sour his stewardship by painting him out to be a fast buck merchant with no interest in the Rangers.

“I know what people have been saying about me but it’s par for the course. I signed up for flak when I decided to get involved with Rangers in the first place,” he said.

When asked if he had a message for bluenoses, Green said this:” I would love to be involved at Rangers again. The club got under my skin and when I say I caught Rangersitis I wasn’t talking bull. If I do get back in any capacity there will be no doubting I have the best interests of Rangers at heart.”

Green is conscious that some fans feel his time with the club has come to an end but he also knows that many want him back.

He revealed to me that he would love to finish some of the projects he started and prove his doubters wrong.

Responding to claims he was guilty of hyping things up, he said: “The thing you have to understand is when we took over at Ibrox we immediately realised we had one of the biggest teams in the world in our hands. Everything I did at Rangers was with that in mind. So when I am selling Rangers to investors and commercial partners, I’m going to talk in terms of potential. That’s what I do; I’m a salesman.”

From my point of view I have no problem with someone hyping up the Rangers. And I do know that Green did have solid support from top English clubs with reference to Rangers playing down south. For political reasons those clubs could only at this stage offer this in private.

My feeling is that if Charles Green does come back there are a few scores he will feel he has to settle.

Having said that, he is keenly aware that the club needs stability after the recent boardroom wars.

As Green knows only too well, it’s great to be able to kick ass.

The trick is in knowing whose as to kick.

And when the time for kicking ass is over.

“Rangers fans know I will stick up for the club and for them,” Green told me. “But there’s more to me than that.”

I know Big Chuck is desperate to get the opportunity to show this and contribute more to the Rangers cause.We’ll have to wait and see if he gets that opportunity.

I'd take Green back at Ibrox as a deputy chairman, definitely.

That way he isn't running the club and can't make an arse of it, but he can simply do what he's good at - engaging the fans and defending the club in the press.

It's an ideal scenario for us, essentially.

Too many people see Green as this great defender of the club because he stood up for us sometimes but lets face it he did talk some amount of bs also as long as Walter & Mather keep up this dignified silence crap it will always create a vacuum for the likes of Green

Sorry, can't take Bill seriously any longer. Not since the article he wrote that tried to portray Alex "Toxic" Thomson is someone who is alright really and not trying constantly to harm our club.

For me, all his credibility disappeared with that article/interview.

Would be ideal If current regime who have made millions out of Rangers could start defending the club for a change.

Did Bill get any of this from Alex Thomson at all? Used to read Bill's blogs regularly but having collaborated with that cunt Thomson he shot himself in the foot.

Green did well speaking up for us when he was here but the fact of the matter is he has made his money. Yes he may be influencing things from afar but if he returns in such an official capacity I would be surprised (not disappointed perhaps though).

To be fair, if you phone up CG and get an interview with him he's not going to sully all the good things he did by saying, "No fuck off, the club is on its feet again and I've made a right few quid".

He's obviously going to say he wants to come back and finish what he started.

Can't see it happening at all.

I would love for Green to come back in some capacity again...

Walter has been saying for awhile that he does not have the business credentials for the role and that he does not really see it as a longterm role for himself.

Maybe he is putting the peices in place for a Green return, I am sure his involvement again would help Mathers out aswell.

There are some supposedly quotes but in between there is the biggest load of rubbish going which and is total presumption by whoever wrote this article. IF previous reports are true and that CG will be selling his shares then he won't have a right in any shape or form of being on the board. Another non-story being blown out of context.
