simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 stb where they just daft or was it the start of the strategic exit ? Because he new he could leave with a good payday and claim he was being hounded out. I've already stated I believe it was the Rangers vast support who saved the club not mercenaries who smelt an easy profitFans played a massive part obviously but we needed a buyer and Blue Knights, Bill Ng, Brian Kennedy, Bill Miller etc were all total let downs.

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Why? Disagree or not it's a valid discussion pointEdited my post to explain. Green did many things right but responsible for position we are in today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green did many things right but responsible for position we are in todayWell in fairness it sounds like Green was going to start running a tighter ship but he left obviously and Mather seemed to allow something of a transfer spree, so it's not all that clear cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Individually he probably did do more than anyone else. He galvanised the consortium and put his money where his mouth is.Tbh bud, I'm just sick of all this pish. Off the field we're unrecognisable, it isn't the Rangers I know and love.Yep I feel the same, the focus of our support on political and financial matters is so disheartening as well, football fans ffs.

Sorry but you won't convince me Charles was the great white hope. He did some good things and some bad things. Not beginning to introduce any infrastructure tells me that it's a relief he's not here anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh mate i'm happy to move on from Green but it's others that keep bringing him up usually in a negative context so I feel inclined to defend him.

I'm almost done. Considering just taking a back seat to it all. If I wanted to spend all my time discussing board room politics I'd go on a business forum and start buying the financial Times.

Hendry 4 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Fact is Green played us like fannys and he still is via the Easdales, all this pish he saved the club, don't make me laugh always getting the club because of the master plan with Whyte Murray and Muir,the guy was is a serial liar.

pcbear 10,924 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 How long is it since a Charlie statement/announcement? we were getting them every 15 minutes at the death ( most were exaggerated nonsense) , anyone find the silence odd? the man just could not stop talking, now for ages he has been quiet as a mouse, work that one out.

five stars 1,711 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Aye, thanks to Malcolm Murray. Doesn't change the fact he saved us does it?Green was CEO and effectively in charge of the club. The excessive salaries were his responsibility. Oh that right MM was head of a remuneration committee that set the salaries, even although no such committee existed when the salaries were set!

harlands plater 17,015 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 IMO Green saw saving Rangers as a way to make a lot of money for himself and his chums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, he should've left straight after the IPO and took that board with him, his/their job was done. Then Wallace or somebody as good should've been brought in to take the club on from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
