wow I thought I had seen it all when we bought brazilians greeks and french, now were after players from honduriars and panama? really ally? reallly? I've never head of panama in my life, why not get players from the first div who know the score not semi pros from unkown countries, fans must act now,

Op Panama----that's where the hats came from.
Seriously, as long as we get good, hard working players I don't care where they come from. The scouting system we all know needs an overhaul. Fans don't pick the players or the team but someone needs to get things right for next season. We can't win every game, ok but let's enjoy what we see for a change

I lived in panama last year and saw the standard of football which is not high. the kids are keen but unless ally has a lot of luck he is wasting his time and money. not to mention the culture differences and language barriers. am now in mexico and although there is more competition from scouts from the big clubs and europe he will have more luck here. I personally have seen a couple of kids with potential in the lower leagues, but surely the best way is to get home grwn kids off their backsides and start playing football instead of all day on a computer.

All green needs to do is allow everyone to see deeds for ibrox so we all see who does own it, these deeds not available for the ipo. yet they the most significant asset in the ipo.
clear the air green, show the deeds, then fans can buy season tickets, otherwise. who kniws what happens next.

Why didn't CW just take RFC to court instead of selling his story to the sun? He said he would take the BBC, SFA and Duff and Phelps to court they are still waiting. I think the only time CW is in court is when someone else has taken him to court.
Take us to court CW and then the truth will out. Otherwise just f&ck off.
Surely though the owner of a company that's in admin and heading for liquidation, cannot sell to another company that he is also involved in or as he claims will still own the assets.

Green admits whyte paid him £137,000 and green tried to hand it back, but what was the accepted for in the first place.

I have been on here many times backing Green. If the reports are true that Whyte is still the owner of the assets, and Green appears to be a "front man", I will never set foot in Ibrox again until all of them are away. Green/Whyte will not get one penny of my money. This is an absolute disgrace, I am dumbfounded.
I will hold my hands up and say that I ridiculed Brown for his antics but the questions now needs to be answered once and for all.
Who owns Rangers assets?
Is Whyte involved in any capacity?
Now is the time to prove this once and for all, show the deeds. No more stories, no more dodging the question, no more lies.
I also have slated the RST and RSA for their involvement, I call on them now, as they seem to have the ear of Green, to insist on a total boycott of season ticket sales until the whole sad, sorry situation is proven once and for all.
I feel sick, and if this is true, I will not be back. I am fed up of charlatans, spivs, liars and con men. If that means they go to the wall again, so be it. I would rather that happened than offer my support or money to these people.

Didn't Green start off saying he had never met Whyte, then he had met him once very briefly now he has money from Whyte in a bank account - which btw I think could have been sent back to Whyte's account. The whole thing just sickens me.

Op here, I went to Ibrox to listen to Brown. After about two minutes he stated f. ing and c. ing, and that was enough for me. If Whyte owns the assets, what did Green pay £5.5m for?
After Browns accusations all Green had to do was show the deeds. I thought that Green was not lowering himself to doing that, but I wonder?
You know this sad story should be sold to Hollywood, but even they would think it beyond belief.
I bought shares, not many, but believed that I at least had the ground and MP as part of what I was investing in.

Alexander deliberately goes to the press and discusses his contract, the club and his contractual negotiations. Why isn't he sacked? Hundreds of other players have historically done the same.

Much as I hate the Sun this has to be taken seriously and it reflects very badly on Charles Green.
The same folk who backed Craig Whyte all the way are now doing the same with Green. I've always been suspicious of the man and don't believe a word about 10m warchests and cancer centres at Ibrox just as I questioned his Adidas claims and tie-ins with the Dallas Cowboys.
Fact is he's now admitted he's a liar but most Bears still want to believe everything he says.
Agree28

@3 belter of a post.
The problem is the rangers fans don't want to go against green, they done it against miller who was chased out right away however IMO he was the man for the job
Miller- keep old rangers but start a new rangers transfer the lot over just the feet under the table then liquadate old rangers
Green - tried to say old rangers with cba leaving no choice but to liquadate old rangers then start a new company with no history.
Miller told the story from the start on what his plans were and was hunted I'm even sure jabba when to the states the question him if I remember right? Now green employs a guy who works/worked for a media out let giving Charles green a voice to please his people. Still to this day green can't give soild proof that rangers history is part of this new rangers company. Such proof would be a agreement with D&P maybe bdo & Charles green & whoever else is envoled stating they can legally do this, until such time then the guys doing what bill miller said he was going to do but IMO miller fitted the bill better as he's a yank & would have fingers in other pies in the states to generate monies
It will come out in the washing about whyte who I do believe is somehow someway included in this deal where green bought whyte out, and Murray has a say in it some where too, yet he has the cheek to do wee interviews once the club he once ran with ebt that over all caused the sake of rangers try's to jump on the band wagon
If rangers make it into the spl with ally & green in power I will honestly buy a season ticket at ibrox for a season. Which really that won't happen

I am not surprised. Green has been playing to the support from Day 1. I never liked him and have stood by the fact that until I see some of the propostions he was making about Rangers 2/3 down the line (Megastore, worth 1 billion etc. )
He has brought Rangers back down into the gutter with his constant drivel. I've been to every home game and it's great we have a full house but on some of the away days (Berwick last August for example) there are fans at Ibrox/away who would not be there if it was SPL ticket prices. I will not believe anything Green or anyone else for that matter promises until it has happened. His preaching to the masses is embarrassing and I feel the club is not in as good a position as it's made out. I love Rangers and will stick by them, but I think there is a lot to be answered and he needs to give honest facts. Maybe this is why Malcom Murray had a major conflict in the boardroom as he knew the facts and waht was really going on.
Its shocking

We all knew Craig White to be a liar and with his own admission we now know Charles Green to be one. I am dreading what's comming next for the club I love and have followed for over 50 years. Struth, Waddell and Symon etc. will be turning in their graves at what is happening to our once great and honest club. This latest episode turns my stomache. I thought when we won the league last week things would start to get easier and better for us though we didn't shower ourselves with glory it was a start. Now a week later where are we in disgrace again at how this famous club has been taken over by liars and cheats money orientated blagards. I wonder if the SFA still think Green is a right and proper person to run a football club, he is no better than White and I fear where he is taking our club and the fans who invested in it. If he is really interested in the club he has to come out with the truth now about all the allegations and let us know the true situation at Ibrox. I know my concerns and I am sure there are lots of true blue fans who also are concerned.

Is there anyone else out there thinking our club is in the news far to often for the wrong reasons. I have backed CG from the day he stood up and decided to take the club on (No-one) else put there money where there mouth's was! But I am now now getting genuinely concerned about his stewardship of our club. Too many statements over silly issues and seems all to keen to pick a fight. After todays headlines with the CW link I'm now having my serious doubts about him and his investors. Although I don't believe everything "The S*n" prints there is no smoke without fire!
Believable30

" (No-one) else put there money where there mouth's was!"
No one else was allowed to. It seems to me that D&P had Green lined up as the buyer almost from the start and rejected every other bidder even when the money offered was pretty much the same.

Agree23

No one else wanted to take the club on as it was financially toxic. Bill Miller's guy seen the books and spoke about the £30m black hole in the finances. Whyte knew liquidation was the only way forward, yes the club would be new but the debt would be shed, a total new beginning. He also knew the fans would not buy into this loss of continuity. Green appeared and bought the assets, backed by whyte's cash, and stiffed him. This is serious. All sorts of legal problems could arise from this. The worst of which is the licence to play being revoked. He lied to the SFA by telling them whyte was no part of this deal.

Can't believe so many of you didn't think Whyte was still involved.
It was the most obvious thing in this whole saga.
Brian Kennedy and the Blue Knights couldn't make an offer for the club unless Whyte agreed to transfer his shares.
so it was always obvious that he had transfered the said shares to Green.
So why would he do that?
Simple, because he was still involved.
Ive been telling everyone for months that Green was a 'front man' for Whyte, and had everyone thinking I was ready for the nut house.
Green has all but admitted it, but is now trying to make out that he was pulling a stroke.
He wasn't, but now he has to, because 'trust me' we have big big trouble ahead.
Oh, and by the way, what the f*** is Walter supossed to be doing in there, he is conspicuous by his silence.

CG not the sharpest knife in the drawer, receives a letter from a top QC on behalf of Whyte in the post and is then quoted in the rags as admitting he and his mates did say what Whyte said, albeit they were scamming him to get control of the club. You couldn't make this up.
Agree23

The biggest problem is that BDO, if this is proven, could reverse the sale of the assets. Then there is the question of the SFA. Green told them, no assured them, whyte was not involved in the club in any way. This might mean licence problems. Seems John Brown was right, but why did he not tell the fans? The promise of a job in management perhaps?

Real issue is Whyte now claims to be part of Rangers who bought assets from. whyte. ouch!
Did D&P sell assets from whyte back to whyte for knock-down price. and on tape. know about it?
Green needs to say who Rangers really was (to SFA). and then who RangersScotland really are.
I'm sparticus. issue is green only looks good if truth is palatable.
whyte seems in control still. plans the admin, and buy back at knock-down.
green needs to prove otherwise. or HUGE implication for RANGERS FC - ie they gained MASSIVE financial benfit - it loosing thier existing debt. and UEFA WONT LIKE THAT ONE BIT.

St. Mirren, Kilmarnock, Celtic and Rangers want top tier of 14. 87% of fans polled want more than 12 teams.
Why oh why are they still promoting this 12-12-18 set up. The fans don't want it, the two biggest clubs who provide in excess of 60% of the people who watch football in this country, don't want it.
If Regan, Doncaster and Longmuir want to against the wishes of the vast majority, they should be shown the door. This is the time to improve the set up, we cannot allow these people to force through something that is not wanted, something that Switzerland and Austria tried and binned it quickly. Why if it does not work there will it work here?
To those Celtic fans particularly Shammy who ridiculed the 14-14-14 system as unworkable should read Roddy Forsyth's article tomorrow where he states that Lawell wants 14.
We should demand that somebody in the SPL, SFA and SFL takes notice of the fans, because last year the fans were heralded due to their demands that my club was not allowed entry to SPL. The fans "had to be listened to" or so we were told by the Chairmen.

You only need to look at the main protaginist in pushing this 12-12-18 set up through, Doncaster at the SPl. This is the man to be entrusted in the reshaping of our game. True leaders of men are those who are trusted by their men. How could you trust a man who only a few weeks ago stated he wanted a line drawn over the kangaroo court saga, only to reopen fresh wounds and divisive reaction by taking ridiculous steps to have Rangers pay for his mistakes, which, in any court in the land he will be unsuccessful in recovering. The same man who when asked for comment on the fans survey avoided the main point found by the survey in that the vast majority of fans want a bigger top division, choosing to ignore it while also stating how important the views of fans are. This man has low integrity as an individual and leader, and his shallow attempt to draw attention away from the reconstruction debate with the debacle of chasing rangers for funds to finance his judiciary panel charade will surely backfire on him in the future, in fact hope it goes to court because he will end up with more debt than he has at present.

Ozzie gers lost all 4 counts - so they pay legal fees.
or they can take this to CAS and see if CAS think £50million on players hidden HAS NOT SPORTING IMPACT
pay £500k and keep titles. easy decision.
or fight costs and loose them.
