rangers owner charles green will urge his board to find a way for rangers to leave scottish football should current reconstruction plan's go ahead ( source a web site )
Heard him say it on TV interview.
Well that's it then no commitment to SFL or SPL or the new setup from Rangers. Official position of the club.
I really wish we wouldn't knee jerk react to every footballing issue and give a negative perspective.
Where does he take the club or is this his bail out plan??
Go where?.
More posturing from Green.Stirring up trouble for no reason.We're stuck where we are and don't have any right to preferential treatment.We're a member like every other club and rules apply to everyone.When we start acting like an equal member and accept decisions rather than trying to throw our weight around because WATP, then maybe we'll get somewhere.
Green says he'll try and get us out of Scottish Football.Right now Scottish Football would be glad to see us go!
Charles Green asks in which league you win the division and then play the same teams. I would've thought that Charles knew the answer to that question (despite it being dismissive of all the other teams in the current fouth tier of Scottish Football) is the current SPL.
That of course is the league that Charles will not allow his team to play in remember.
Put brain in gear first Charles before opening mouth.
What will aim market say when they here this, remember ratner say his customers were buying cheap crap...... 1year later he lost his entire business.
green now acting like whyte... a ponce. he has millions at stake why say no future in scottish footbal for gers recovery, if no plan to go elsewhere???
Board of an associate member of sfa organises boycott of cup match, now undermines spl, sfa and sfl plans to restructure when they are associate member and don't have any vote or say.....
expect yet another charge of bringing game into disrepute, something up here bears, like green doesnot want rangers fc in scottish football at all.... is that what you invested for... to leave scottish footbal, so all away games in another country.....wow
ryanair and easyjet every week, on gorbals wages.....
What about Iceland?

12-12-17 has a ring to it.
Bears this guy is backing you into a corner on purpose it would seem, he just doesn't make sense
We would still be in the third tier division if it went ahead or not
How can a charge of bringing the game into disrepute be on order !, i have not seen one person who shares the view of this new set up so why should he or the club be volleyed by more negative accusations and fines when he has only said what the majority of the country has said also and that includes a lot celtic supporters too, this new set up is nothing short of embarrassing and just shows how the rich plan to get richer and the poorer be less competitive, why should a team on the up be held back from promotion due to some micky mouse rules of a bottom four top four 2nd split shambles
Why would anybody want to play in a league set up where the only incentive is to make sure you are relegated next year to lower costs and get the big bucks against the only draw in town 4 clubs have threatened to walk out SPL just a coincidence that it will be 4up 4 down League set up in more ways than one Even with celtic giving prize money away the SPL will be the place nobody wants to be or atleast 2 seasons
CG is making Rangers looking like fools, with his stupid comments. I just wish this man would take the cash he is here for and go and let us start to rebuild the great glasgow rangers
The only option I can see Green doing, would be to buy an English club and then transfer it to Rangers, so that it would be a quicker way for Rangers into getting in the English League 2.From what I'm seeing - I still think this is what he really is trying to do.
For me personally, I think if I was going to see Rangers every week, I'd rather see Rangers play teams twice a season than the monotonous 4 to 6 times.So if moving down south is a doable option then why not? Because for as long as we remain in the Scottish set-up, we'll never become a Chelsea or a Man U.
Arab here, without any joking, i really feel sorry for the real supporters, talk about lions led by donkeys, Chuckles Green is making rfc and by the way ALL scottish football a joke. he opens his mouth way before he engages his brain, hand on heart i feel sorry for the honest footie fans amongst you
Hes right if it happens this season is a waste of time, and he said what team wins promotion and plays the same teams next year, thats what he meant, he wants to see gers progressing through the leagues not being held back through league reconstruction
Your not being held back still 3yrs to top leg, but a question how will rangers fans feel about staying in 1st division for a couple of yrs as if cg still in charge he already stated he wouldn t take rangers into spl just a thought
You can win DIV1 and NOT GET promoted - cos your stadium does not meet SPL standards - its happened several times, and GERS never complained before.
Get real this can alway happen.
This plan allows rangers to get to spl 1 year earlier (green says this), and so its to thier benefit, games against spl teams earlier, more money, etc etc all to the good.
So why say anything, when associate member with no vote. Green got loads of publicity - even media outlet (bbc, sky, stv, the telegraph, daily mail) all covering Rangers but for wrong reasons, and this could undermine stock price, why would you WANT to do that ?
unless collapsing the share price is part of the plan, Whyte wanted to go into admin, what does green really want ?
Money - but from where ?
For once I find myself agreeing with an Arab ! My concern about engaging his brain is that it doesn't appear to work a lot of the time ! Where is our new media supremo in this debacle ? Surely he is paid to stop this type of nonsense hitting the press ?
Strange one this. When Rangers were winning titles and playing in European finals they couldnt get out of Scotland, now as a new club they are just going to up sticks and go somewhere else, how...well that doesnt matter does it, Charlie says so thats all you need to know. 6 months ago it was all bowing and thanks for letting us in, now its we're off because you won't let us vote...let me know if you need a hand packing up, even willing to take a day or 2 off for the pleasure of seeing you go.
I honestly don't think green is that clever, he came up here thinking he was a big shot, hard nosed business man, and we were a bunch of country bumpkins, and he could bully is way about.
He was expecting the restructure to benefit rangers to top flight, and now sees his business plan (if any) collapsing in front of his eyes, the guy is another in a line of conmen running rangers. Jj
Ed what are your thought's on this statement by charles green. this man should take a look at himself the way it is going we are going to have no football team to support soon. think this is his excuse to bail out of rangers. {The Ed039's Note - This is my initial thought, sell up and get rich quick. To be honest, the reconstruction is a bit farcical, but it wouldnt change the timescale in which it took Rangers to get to the top table, but I wonder if they have considered the TV deal in all of this, have they consulted Sky and ESPN because that is going to be a big factor)
Progression isnt about time to get to top league, hes angry at winning a league and playing same teams again next year, and if any div 3 team gets a vote on reconstruction then obviously they are going to vote for it, theyl get more games against rangers....more doh for them!

Will Green still put the season books up next year even if were still in the bottom tier & does he still get his bonus if we win the league but don't get promotion to a higher division? {The Ed039's Note - He will because we will actually be a division closer to the top league, his bonus clause is well worded)
10 Jan 2013 15:35:35
The same old boring playing each team 4 times, the same old comical split! What a wasted opportunity to improve Scottish football. Increase the top tier to 16 and two leagues of 14. simples!
My god guys, it is no wonder the rest of Scottish Football hates us. You would have thought we would have learned from the White fiasco, now it's the Green show, fit and proper person springs to mind...not! Even now we are being stuffed by Green & White..and no..not the Celtic. How can we possibly move forward when Green spits the dummy out if the way is not to his liking. Really time to knuckle down, take our medicine on the chin, support our young bears and progress according to the RULES. Thanks. {The Ed039's Note - You quote "according to the rules". Nothing has been done by the rules, everything has just been made up as we go along, there was NO RULE to say Rangers couldnt play in the SPL this season, they squeezed that one in late last season in the name of sporting integrity, there is NO RULE to say that you can win your league and stay in the bottom league and play the same teams again, this is something that has just come about. I personally am grateful to just have a team to support but your post makes no sense)
Ed I think your wrong because with liquidation there was no way a newco could step right back into the spl, and nieve of you to think that, had it been Kilmarnock or hibs instead of rangers would you have allowed them free passage to the spl. Jj {The Ed039's Note - I am not wrong here, the SPL and SFA had no proper regulations to cover this, and given that it had happened before, I find that most bizarre, they then panicked and made up the rules as they went along? A newco in Airdrie United bought over Clydebanks assets and stepped straight into Division 2 so there has been precedent and if you dont see that then I am afraid you are the one who is very naive)
Oh sorry ed I didn't know newco rangers had purchased another club, if that's the case it must have been a div 3 club then. Jj {The Ed039's Note - Read the post, you really are clutching st straws now, it is a newco is it not? You are wasting my time)
I saw it in the paper, though im supportive of chuck but what has happened the past 20odd years before all this carryin on? Yes we have been playing celtic, motherwell etc etc in the same league for years, we have a chance to play teams we havent played before and.like at the top.flight before, there is only so.far a team can get promoted, unless fifa or uefa create a league of champions ( where every team who wins their league at the highest division gets promoted to a "super" championship/premiership) so after all, When we win the spl, we will be playing MASSIVE teams........ and celtic
Some people are getting it wrong. What Mr Green means is how can you win PROMOTION then end up playing the same teams again the next season. We all know Rangers were playing the same teams over and over when in the spHELL.
BlueStu
CG is not interested in anything but Rangers, he is not interested in what is best or fair for Scottish football.
No football association is going to touch rangers with a barge pole
BlueStu - winning league DOES NOT gaurentee promotion, as you may not qualify (ground) for next league.
Rangers will be playing other teams, as 4 league changes to 3. No matter how this happens someone will loose out.
CG is not interested in anything but Rangers - WRONG!
CG is not interested in anything but money!
he cares little about Rangers, as when at sheffield he carred so much about them, he left them poorer and in dire straights.
Hes burning all bridges to spl, sfa and next sfl (for not getting promotion) and uefa and fifa....
Whyte caused admin
Green will burn rest of history, relations and goodwill which he bought for £1 and will only sell for £ millions.
And gers fans backed him to the hilt.
CG is not interested in anything other than selling up at the most profitable time.
When we join the SPL.
Rangers have nowhere else to go.
Who would want us.
Cost v Benefit to other leagues?
Im all rangers joining the english league starting at the bottom because the restructering propossles are too confussing to understand
Good to see most of the bears on this thread not blaming everyone else for what's going on - makes a pleasant change from the muppets on both sides trying to win brownie points.
Oh my god, CG is wanting to pay sexual discrimination law now, as women fom holland and Belgium play in a single league, he's claiming his players in kilts can play in England..... Jog on! {The Ed039's Note - why not?)
Im all rangers joining the english league starting at the bottom because the restructering propossles are too confussing to understand
---------------------------------------------
Oh here we go again, when will it get through to some people, Rangers cannot start at the bottom of the English and Welsh league because they are domiciled in Scotland.
Gretna played for years in the English system as indeed do Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham. CG is having a pop at UEFA but if he wins that he still needs to get his application through the English Football League. And then it's with starting at a ridiculously low level in England or somehow buying and taking the place of a league team (Bury was once mentioned as a target).
All bluster as usual from Greene!
Wish the blue knights would step in!.
The guys a total embarrassment.
Celtic could go to english championshipmleague, where £40 million prize if win into premiership for 2 teams and as celtic are cl level that's good for them
gers would enter at very lowest level and have harder route, imagine away games all over england!
Rangers and celtic should stay in scotland or the game is dead here end of
Which part of " England does not want nor need " the OF do people not understand, there is no financial advantage to any league to invite the OF.
