Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.

Bears. Unfortunately, this calls for an age old tactic to expose truth. Namely, "starvation". Not one of us wishes to see any harm come to RFC, but whilst we are in the throws of rebuilding, if there are impostors in the camp, it's time to find out who they are. The staple diet of Whyte and Green seems to be money. if we cut off the money someone will squeal. if we continue to feed the situation, these comment will pull stroke after stroke whilst draining our pockets. time to take a stand. it can't get any worse if we cut off the supply.

Believable31 Unbelievable10

You cut off the supply Charles pulls the plug. It's more or less blackmail my friend.

End of the day you have fans from all teams all over the works who will buy into a club with season tickets etc knowing it all about money. Money is going to drive the game and IMO will drive out FIFA in years to come. I do believe green is getting a out of jail card though but we bought that by getting the right people on board ie jabba & jim whyte (aye Jim whyte) keys & Gary too, why? all 3 bar jabba are rangers fans and are just glad that the owner of there club is giving them the time of day

The problem with that is we then starve the club

The one and only ray of light over the past year has been the support of the fans, it's moving the club back to where it should be while giving every other group of people who knocked us down at every turn a swift kick in the tadger

Yet people think it's a good idea to stop

Let's face facts the last thing we need right now is another change of ownership, we need stability more than anything else

Charles Green has been quick to give his side of events on the Gers website and taken at face value he is quite clear and plain speaking

I can't remember an owner being as open and quick to answer before and I for one am willing to hear him out

It's kind of understandable why we are cautious and suspicious but some of the stuff being posted is absolutely ridiculous

it's hearsay, jumping to conclusions, moving the truth to suit the agenda topped with lashings of tabloid gash

We've been wanting an overhaul of the club for years, now we're getting it and all that's being posted is people moaning about it

Agree2 Disagree29

Sadly what you say is true m8, but your answer could kill the club, a rock and a hard place i'm afraid, we can't take the chance of denying capitol, bomber was told of the outcome that would invite, tommyblue

Agree1 Disagree13

Where are the deeds, Charlie, show the deeds, that will quash any doubt about who owns the assets, the fact that Charlie does not produce the deeds proves that there are doubts!

Agree23 Disagree1

Super Ally will get the truth he promised us, and Ally says Greens ok, like he did when we questioned Whytes intentions and methods, (what has happened to McCoist?!?!)

An all out boycott is the only way in my opinion, we must show them that we hold the real power, they cannot operate without our money, our collective opinion should be reflected on and off the pitch in both honesty and clarity at boardroom level, and a much higher standard on the pitch. If you are happy with the way things are then just carry on handing over your cash, but if you really want change, the only thing Green and co listen to is falling income.

Agree17 Disagree3

One thing is for sure, Charles Green has been dishonest with fans.

Agree26 Disagree2

CG, Rangers FC, no part of it and none of the assets will ever fall into Whyte's hands. If I have to I will stand at the front door and deny him entry.

Yeh right like you offered the former manager of Sheffield outside and he called your bluff, you and Whyte are con men and the Bears deserve better than this.

Celtic Fan

Agree19 Disagree2

What worries me about Green is the fact that he has brought a troubleshooter into the club to try and cut losses - this guy doesn't care about the long serving servants who have stood by the club even though they lost money in the admin/liquidation and continued to stand by the club. The troubleshooter has already gotten rid of many and in the following weeks more meetings to take place. Rangers diehards who would do anything for the club face losing their jobs!

Agree2 Disagree1

Rangers til I die what a sad lot u all r, we were dead last year what's the problem, most clubs are run the same way why was there not any big money Rangers men emptying there pockets to save us as long as we r still running & Playing WATP

Agree2 Disagree3

Chuckie calling Craigie a fantasist, you couldn't make this comedy up. As the saying goes "takes one to know one"!

Agree4 Disagree0

Green has talked so much guff its hardly any wonder everything he says has a pinch of salt with it.

Green talks a great game, he tells everyone things before they happen. Going on the facts from the share issue to half term results. Rangers have "22" million from a share issue, however everything included they are running at 1m a month lost. That's 8 million to the start of next season!? On top of that you need new players and even free transfers need wages.

Shares go up and down however I think green won't brass neck it again for another share issue again, ally is on a rolling contract so he could go at the end of the season with no pay off but anew manger will want change which overall costs money. semthing that (until the accoutns come out) looks very tight.

Lenny

Agree2 Disagree0

This is now getting ridiculous, I am a Celtic fan and must admit I did 'enjoy' the goings on at Ibrox over the last 18 months but enough is enough. the fans are the only ones who will suffer and despite our differences we are ALL football fans and the whole of Scotland should have a look at what is going on as I feel this could prove to be the beginning of the end for full time professional football in this country. The rangers fans have been used by these two charlatans and there must be something done about this. the fans have backed their team through season tickets and the share issue and I worry they will have no club to follow if this continues.

Agree4 Disagree1

@2 who knocked you down, was that not Murry and Whyte, then Charlie lead's you into liquidation with a kid on c. v. a. , wake up man everyone know's who put Rangers were they are, only tadger's like you, are following blindly

Given that Green said he didn't go down the route of being "front men" for Whyte because the CVA failed and ultimately they didn't need his shares, doesn't that beg two questions?

1) What would have happened if the CVA had been successful (with Whyte in the background)?

2) Did Green and backers intentionally put forward such a pitiful amount for the CVA for it to intentionally fail?

Gaz

Believable23 Unbelievable1

An acceptable CVA was the last thing this shower wanted. Years of payments means years of no profit. They are shameless racketeers who do this stuff for a living.

Agree23 Disagree1

D&P provided secured sales of assets to Rangers 5088 - for £500,000, a quarter of which is £137,000 - which whyte paid to Green&Co to seal deal.

So assets sold to Rangers 5088 as agreed when CVA failed. how difficult is this?

THEN two days later Green transferred assets from Rangers 5088 into Rangers Scotland - but if without full agreement of shareholders this NOT legal and can be unwound - or damages paid.

Green claimed (on RiFC official document) that he had signed resignation for Rangers 5088 so he was no longer involved, but in Dec2012 as Rangers 5088 SOLE DIRECTOR he lodges doc at companies house to shutdown Rangers 5088.

so his story unravels. he may have signed a resignation letter, but if he did not lodge it at companies house - it does not count.

WHYTE provided 25% of money for deposit to gain rangers asset - note the £5million other may never have been handed over. ! as £3million found in RFC on handover - so only £2million then needed to make £5.

So green did not need more from whyte and did not ask for more, but jumped into IPO as season ticket money then arrived (£7 million).

So Green has managed without need for original investment, and IPO gave him funds to stretch funds to cover the gaps.

But how much will accounts now really show when audited - if any.

there could be less than £3 left, but never fear another batch of season ticket invoices going out soon.

time will tell, fans will save green or not.

Agree14 Disagree0

The HMRC said no to the CVA, it would have had to have been a substantial level of a bid to have satisfied them and they certainly would not have taken kindly to CW being in on the move.

Agree6 Disagree0

Sun today reveals.

of the £200,000 paid to D&P for exclusive rights to buy rfc assets - whyte provided £137k and Green&co just £63k - so whyte provided 75% and therefore has rights.

But whytes money funnelled into mothers account - to hide source.

Green needs to come clean on the second payment of 10% to D&P of the total £5million. who paid that amount, names and amounts.

RFC assets bought for just £200k + £500k - that's all for the history, lock stock and assets.

Agree0 Disagree0

Green pays £25k into rangers, and after sales get £25k back.

One first day of floatation someone buys £25k of shares. odd that.

same number. coincidence. ?

Agree2 Disagree0

Gaz Did you really need to ask question 2, it was as plain as the nose on your face, what Charlie intended to do.
Tam

Agree1 Disagree0

To be honest Tam I don't know if there was a great deal more they could chuck into the pot, albeit he did claim he had 20 backers and they would raise millions but for sure it seems passing the CVA caused more problems than it solved for Green which may just interest BDO.

green- whyte - yellow - blue purple who cares what colour the owners are. We have cash in the bank, we have sponsors and backers. let's get on with playing and supporting football and let all there BIG SHOTS merge into the background and fight amongst themselves in the playground.

We've just won stage 1 of our comeback. C'mon let's support stage 2 now.

Believable19 Unbelievable40

You have cash in the bank which is covering £2.4m a month losses and just secured sponsors of a lesser value than your current ones upon your entry to "stage 2". And it is very important as to "what colour" your owner is, as it may very well depend on The Rangers even getting to stage 2.

G93

Agree20 Disagree4

Foolish. It's the cash in the bank they are after. Losses of £1m per month, sackings and cost cutting. Why? If there's money in the bank you might think a Physio is important.

Agree17 Disagree1

I see where you're coming from but one of the problems is that Puma and Sports Direct will be raging that this story has come out, they will be furious at Green saying he lied to Whyte to shaft him, the talk of Russian prostitutes & the fact that he apparently still hasn't sent Whyte's £137, 500 back to him.

Supporters have to keep up with developments like these so our club doesn't get shafted for a third time. We just can't ignore this and hope for the best. That only makes another disaster more likely.

Agree18 Disagree1

We won't have a penny in the bank if Whytes involved sorry mate, that will be game set match I think!

Agree12 Disagree0

Cash in whose bank. there is £137,000 in just one account and they want to hand that back, when reporting £1m loss per month?

whtye paid money to save rangers assets. and paid more then green did. ?

Agree13 Disagree0

Yes we have won stage one, but how on earth can we look forward to the next stage with all that's been happening over the past few days.
There is something seriously wrong within in ibrox just now, and we the fans are being kept in the dark as is the manager it would appear. i'm not convinced there is any money in the bank, well not as much as they would have us believe, and for sponsors and backers who are they as no amount of cash has been revealed. Ijust don't believe a word any of them say anymore, i'm sorry but I think some serious problems lie ahead for us, hope i'm wrong but I doubt it very much. jimbo.

Agree12 Disagree0

@3 Russian Prostitutes, is that more folk that Green & Whyte have shafted.

Agree10 Disagree0

@7 don't joke. blue pitch holdings could be russian gangsters. !

Greens joke is very damaging to whyte if even a snif of truth in it. why joke on something this serious he need to race back from europe to make press releases?

06 Apr 2013 17:51:47
Leeds Leicester and Crystal Palace are Interested in Kirk Broadfoot who has a price tag of £3 Million. 3 Million you lot could have had if you weren't so disloyal to your players. You treated that guy like sh**e and now he's Improved shows you Murray park makes players worse lol. {The Ed039's Note - Shows how daft you are as well, how can a player who is out of contract at the end of the season have a £3m pricetag?)

Believable9 Unbelievable10

You have it wrong that's £3m blackpool are willing to pay these clubs to take him

Agree4 Disagree2

Broadfoot is gone a year and you are still having a go at him. I would have him at Ibrox and playing in front of most of the non triers that were brought in to replace the likes of him. you hounded him out and you are still hounding him. he's a Rangers man.

Agree2 Disagree0

Funnily enough the guy was known as clubfoot by all other clubs, however you knew all along that he was a decent player? huh.

Agree0 Disagree1

06 Apr 2013 17:10:10
Ally knew all along about Green and Whyte, didn't say anything as he wanted the mangers job. He can't be sacked until everything comes out in the open which won't be for a while. Neil Murray has had to sign a confidentially agreement and will keep his salary as a consultant. or to keep quiet.

Believable22 Unbelievable8

06 Apr 2013 16:17:27
well well well!. our club gets sold for 5.5 million with a 10% deposit required by 4 men involved in Rangers8088. 550K divided by 4 = 137. 000 big ones. exactly the amount green took from whyte. ain't rocket science that charlies a man caught with his knickers at his knees. crystal ball tells me that some consortium involved previously will be back to take over and allys 5% shares will be leverage. do I hear walter and his pack anyone. we don't want whyte or green now. we want honesty in the form of rangers men thru and thru if there's such a thing. poor fans that's all I can say. deecee

Believable20 Unbelievable6

Your right. green has been exposed. If he didn't want to keep whyte's cash just BACS it back to where it came and instruct your bank not to accept any transaction from that account. Simple. Why did he not do this?Where are the deeds? He could blow whyte away and make him a laughing stock by showing them.

Agree19 Disagree2

It seems to me that you are correct in your calculations, but this was for Rangers 8088 who did not buy the club. They were the English company but then changed to a Rangers in Scotland. If Whyte's money was not used for that, then he has nothing over company. We should remember that Whyte is incapable of telling the truth. I must say that if Greens explanation, if you can call it that, that he was trying to get the shares from Whyte is true, then when CVA was refused and went into liquidation, the shares became meaningless anyway and D & P sold the assets to Green. However I cannot understand why Green will just not prove it, produce the deeds, and that shuts down Whyte completely. However he had the chance when Brown called on him to do it, and he did not.

Agree3 Disagree0

Bankers draft is one way only! that's the point of them.

green says whyte paid to be part of Rangers 5088, but no problem as green signed resignation from Rangers. but in dec 2012 green still acting as Rangers 5088 sole director to fold that company

as ever green lies unravel. whyte paids to be part of Rangers 5088, green accepted money in good faith- now claims bad faith. but whyte paid up - why did green not tell sfa whyte part of the deal??

expect charge from sfa on bringing game into disrepute. and stocks will plummet as rfc official statement says green lied to whyte to purchase rfc assets. so floatation unsound. assests may be challenges

and green did not declare in float that whyte claimed charge on rfc assets.!!

rifc had to disclose ALL potential claims, they did not disclose whytes claim.

Agree5 Disagree1

I have a couple of hundred share, not a huge aount of money involved but will I be left with worthless sahres next week if larger investors decide to cut and run?

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Apr 2013 15:24:49
Hi ed. is it not law that any taped discussions concerning whyte and green ect have to both parties agreement before they are admissible in a court of law. IE secret taping isn't legal?

Blueice {The Ed039's Note - It would be for a court to decide if the tape was admissable in court, both sides would be able to put forward their argument, but no court in the land is going to take Whyte's side in this)

Believable5 Unbelievable14

Did Green not say he was aware of the meeting being taped? I'm sure in the initial story I read this.

Agree12 Disagree0

I think the taped evidence validity in court may depend on what other proof Whyte shows up with. I've listened to the recordings its all damning stuff. goni be real interesting how green deals with it, either way tough month or so coming up folks!

Agree8 Disagree5

Green already admitted that he knew Whyte might tape their conversation but he went ahead with it anyway, don't know how that would affect it. As for no court in the land taking Whytes side, the courts can only enforce the law and if there is any kind of contract the court verbal or written Whyte could win.

Agree9 Disagree4

What about the documents the Daily record say they have seen. They would be sued in spades by the clubs lawyers if they just made it up.

Agree10 Disagree1

06 Apr 2013 16:40:39
But green said he was fully aware that whyte taped everything

Agree7 Disagree1

In the uk it is illegal to record a phonecall if you intend to disclose it to a third party. It isn't illegal to record if it is for "personal use".

Agree8 Disagree6

Why hit the disagree button? Secret taping is the same as bugging someone illegal. And as for whyte didn't he lose a case when the judge basically said you couldn't believe a word he said.

Blueice

Agree7 Disagree8

06 Apr 2013 17:39:00
Blueice, e didn't secretly tape it. Green has said he knew whyte taped everything before he met with him

Agree6 Disagree0

@7. He is not lying though, it's all on the tape. "you are Rangers" and "we are your reps" It's damning stuff mate.

Agree8 Disagree2

"Some judges take a pragmatic approach that if the information is already disclosed and it is highly relevant, then it will be admitted. "

Disclosed and highly relevant? Sounds like Google eye's secret tapes. Also to be taken into consideration is the fact Green has claimed he knew he was being recorded by Whyte.

Agree5 Disagree2

Ok green knew whyte would be taping meeting, but if whyte hasn't go permission from green (on the tape)then it's still illegal.

Blueice

Agree3 Disagree3

A court will decide on the points of law, not anyone's reputations, it is wrong to say no court will take Whyte's side. All courts will decide on evidence only. As of tapped conversations I think they are are allowed in court if both parties new they were being taped, don't know if this was the case though

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Apr 2013 22:38:23
So Blueice you don't actually know what you are talking about here do you? If Green has said he knew the conversation was being taped he doesn't need to give any permission on the tape. Give your head a shake mate.

Agree4 Disagree1

13) have a good nights sleep then read my post again and give yourself a good shake. Again if cw didn't obtain permission for the meeting to be taped then it is illegal.

Blueice

Agree0 Disagree3

Blueice, if this tape can't be used because green didn't know it was being recorded, how could green use a tape that sandaza didn't know was being recorded. shammy

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Apr 2013 14:20:01
Suddenly every one is believing Whyte, he has constantly made statements about taking various people to court, cannot understand why everybody is taking his word as gospel.

Believable23 Unbelievable14

Got to agree with you mate. If on a beautiful bright summers day CW told me the grass was green and the sky was blue I would still disbelieve him.

Agree9 Disagree8

Well said OP. Green was just telling Whyte what he wanting to hear, to gain control of Rangers.

Agree12 Disagree6

According to the radio, make of that what you will, he has lodged papers in London.

Agree11 Disagree2

06 Apr 2013 16:41:58
Maybe because green has admitted he told him whatever he wanted to hear and then double crossed him?

Agree10 Disagree3

Is anyone believing green the CEO of RIFC - who admits he lies to win deals. wow!

Puma, Blackthorn, Ashley. sports direct. are they now thinking did he lies to us. ?

This why we looking at hondurans and panamanians. they never heard of green and his escapades and may just sign contract with him, no-one else will

Rangers CEO - damage will last years from whytes simple release of some tapes and docs.

Green ADMITED whyte paid him £137,000 - that's more than green put on table to buy RFC!! MORE!

Agree13 Disagree0

There is an expression that comes to mind here: Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. Can't help thinking this is the case with Whyte on this occasion because his version of events makes more sense.
Green is in it for the money and will say anything to anyone to line his pocket. Just like Whyte. How much have the pair of them creamed off already? Who owns Ibrox? Green has invested NOTHING of his own money (even Craig Whyte stumped up a quid!) yet his holding on paper is now worth several million£, and we don't know anything like enough about those who are backing him. Do you really believe either of these 2 cares whether he makes his cash from skimming off the top when building up a successful franchise that earns revenue from Rangers fans, or from realising the true property value of real estate they picked up at knock down price? Whyte chose now to come out with this because it is season ticket renerwal time. and that gives him maximum leverage with Green. or the pair are still in cahoots and this is all being engineered to fleece more money off the bears? Hell knows, Heaven (& possibly Malcolm Murray) suspects!
Murky goings on anyway up.

Agree4 Disagree0

If I was a Rangers shareholder I would be asking myself if Green lied to Whyte to get his shares, has he lied to me to get my money!

Agree6 Disagree0

@2 It's not right for Green to just say 'what he wanted to hear' but you sound as if you think it is. He's been telling us what he thinks we want to hear too. How about the truth for a change, a novelty these days

Agree6 Disagree0

N6 craig whyte was paid 2 pound for his shares at ibrox by charles green so whyte doubled his origanal investment good business

Agree0 Disagree1

N9:erm. Green gave Whyte £2. Yep. I forgot about that stage managed ceremonial bluster from the bluff Yorkshireman. Good point!

But since we now know that Whyte gave Green's consortium £135,000 (or thereabouts) towards the exclusivity for Rangers5088 (Green has admitted as much!) I think my original point - That Charles green doesn't seem to have strumped up a penny of his own money - still stands.

Agree1 Disagree0

06 Apr 2013 13:14:12
ED- what do you think about signing some spanish boys? levante players maybe there quality and hard workers? {The Ed039's Note - I think that the scouting network needs to stretch and needs to uncover some good, honest players who wouldnt require a kings ransom to sign)

Is it not against the rules of the game to play without having a physio present? Could you clear this up ED? Thanks. {Ed001's Note - not in the semi professional ranks, most teams don't have physios in the lower leagues.}

Believable6 Unbelievable5

This also shows the differences in the leagues---it's vast. How our players are looked after etc. and how those we've been playing against all year (part timers)That's why feel we should have done so much better. Ok we won it but not in the way we should and I do find it very worrying.

Agree10 Disagree1

Green did same at sheffield, remove the existing guys all loyal and real long term club fans. replace with fresh (green) men. then anything goes.

watch green replace all these bears. with his own people. so he can run rings round ally and wally.

ally left one own. with no helpers or people he can trust. one wrong word and bye bye ally.

been there, seen it. before.

Agree11 Disagree3

Even with international players and SPL level players. Isn't there an insurance requirement?

Agree3 Disagree3

There is a requirement for a doctor to be present at the match I believe not a physic {Ed001's Note - and paramedics, but not a physio.}

Agree4 Disagree0

No 3- you don't have any SPL level players - you're a div 3 club at present.

Agree5 Disagree1

06 Apr 2013 12:10:04
Does Ally really think anybody is going to believe his I did not know rubbish? Does any fan think he would not have asked John Brown what the dirt was? The two men are friends, and Rangers men, I would think it was the first thing Ally would have done. I'm sure by now we have heard the Neil Murray rumours. The Malcolm Murray row with Green. The fact the team at the moment don't have a physio. If Charles Green wants to be rid of whyte, and prove to the fans he is truthful, Just show the deeds Charles. that's all it will take. You have admitted lying to gain shares how many more lies are there.

Believable20 Unbelievable4

"Assuming jurisdiction is held to be in Scotland (and I do not see why it would not) a court will confirm to Mr Green that a verbal contract is held to be as binding in Scotland as a contract established in written form. "

verbal contracts. green loose with talk, but talk it binding in scotland. !

Agree8 Disagree2

Good post OP. serious questions needing asked across the board especially of CG but he is good at politician type answers. Something new that puzzles me is news that Phil Yeates position as physio has been made redundant within a restructuring program; therefore gers can't replace him so how is the role going to be performed in the future?

Agree9 Disagree0

Ally really has to be very careful on how he handles this. And how can he believe whatever Green tells him, the man is a proven liar and admits he lies to get what he wants.

Do the wrong thing Ally and your legendary status is in jeopardy.

Agree11 Disagree3

Lets be rational about this. White takes over RFC. He lies to Murray the manager the players the SFA THE SPL the Inland revenue and his kids. Now we are to believe him
He should be on the Kevins Bridges show called AYE RIGHT.

Agree5 Disagree4

Ally already fallen into trap. so he talks to green and does not like answers - what can he do (when owns 5%)??

ally should have said I am going into meeting to see deeds and see who owns rest of ibrox as I own 5%.

Agree8 Disagree1

Whyte should be called billy liar

Agree2 Disagree2

06 Apr 2013 11:30:46
So Charles Green`s latest plan to court the Rangers fans is to make out that he is a loveable rogue who swindled the evil Craig Whyte in order to save Rangers. How thick does he think Rangers fans are. Does swindling make him a better man than Craigy? Something not right here.

Believable22 Unbelievable2

I have heard few things as loathsome as the recording of them casually discussing how much to take from a share issue. My heart goes out (genuinely) to the Bears who bought in good faith. Sickening.

Agree21 Disagree2

How thick doe's he think Rangers fan's are, think that's quite obvious
Tam

Agree19 Disagree1

Watch this whole thing disappear. Green will pay him off, that's what he is after as a court case is the last thing either wants, but Greens moves will have to be questioned more.

either way fans loose.

GREEN and WHYTE says it all, you could not make it up, even a hollywood movie wouldn't come up with that, Craig Whyte is a Celtic fan has been all his life and wants a puppet to be the face for the media guess what his name is Green, GREEN and WHYTE, that is no coincidence

Believable11 Unbelievable20

OP You are under stress ok but this is just ridiculous now. You can't blame Celtic for everything and certainly not this mess. It's all of your own making and the Rangers minded men (as you call them) who have led the club into this state. Open your eyes. You must be having a laugh with us.

Agree16 Disagree6

Never read so much nonsense in my life OP.

Agree8 Disagree0

Somebody call an ambulance. whyte has secretly been a celtic fan all his life until he could meet somebody called green and destroy rangers?

Even a comedy writer couldn't make that one up.

I wonder what hard evidence the OP has for this allegation?

06 apr 2013 10:46:08
as a rangers supporter i also have concerns regarding the signing policy.
our manager and director are ex scotland manager and coach
and must have seen all the work that goes on not only at other clubs academies and coaching schools but also murray park. why then do we have to go to honduras or panama to find a player. to me it seems as though the manager is not in control of signing policy.

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Barcelona have one of the best, if not THE best, academies in the world

They still went to Argentina for their best player

While I'm far from Charles Green's biggest fan I've been reading quite a few things on here that are just grasping at straws

He did not say it was not title 55, what he said was

“It is a triumph which, in all honesty, cannot be held up beside the 54 top-flight championships but it is a triumph nonetheless"

It's the 3rd division title, of course it can't be held up beside the top flight title, that does not make it any less a title or any less a triumph

a triumph that he calls "the first milestone on the road back to full recovery. "

fair enough if you are calling him out on things he has actually said but when it comes to twisting words I think he's getting a bit of a raw deal

Believable15 Unbelievable13

Totally agree with OP. It's obvious that quite a few don't want Gers to boast about 55 and counting.

Regardless of anything else we have finished top of our league, whatever league that may be, 55 times

that much is true no matter how many dislikes this post gets

and that's really all that matters

Agree7 Disagree6

Everyone knows its 55 Celtic fans will have to get used to it

Agree8 Disagree8

@3: apart from Green and many Rangers fans who say it's not. It also won't be counted by UEFA etc.

Agree4 Disagree2

The overall or combined total is 55. Celtic fans should concede that?

Agree7 Disagree4

@3 Green never once say it wasn't 55. You've twisted it. 55 is here to stay.

Agree5 Disagree4

@5. celtic fans don't even have div 3 on their radar, never mind concede it as a title. the only title we are interested in is champions of scotland. certainly not the 4th ranking division. it is also less worthy than what morton/thistle and qos have won. if its so good, why not go for the 12-12-18 and get another one? youll be equal with alloa and livvy then. that will shake the world.

We are told McCoist seeks the truth from Green.
But surely he, bomber, chief scout Murray,. Knew the details? Bomber knew.
Is this all being released now because Murray was sacked? Was he taking the story to the press? Was he using it as leverage not to lose his job? Did Ally tell him to use it as leverage?

Ally is playing at wanting the truth, an innocent who only knows about football management.

Like an astonished faced boy "I didn't bang the football into your flowers mister". aye Ally that'll be right.

He's right on one thing. The fans deserve the real truth. Oh and you're a crap manager, why are you still there?

How do you know Bomber knew he is still to reveal exactly what he knows!

Green vs Whyte:

So Whyte paid £137,000 or 25% of the non-refundable deposit to buy assets from D&P. Fact!

Whyte was part of Rangers 5588 to buy rfc assets and stuff creditors - Fact!

Green had to disclose owners to SFA and Whyte not allowed to be major owner - Fact!

Green talks good talk, for someone with £5m of fans money in bank, and £17m of investors for assets which seem in doubt. (ibrox).

Best con in world is sell an asset you don't own (ibrox) to someone (fans/investors) who think you do own it.

Whyte has tape of green agreeing terms for a contract.

Green says he never signed it.

But in scotland - verbal contracts have jurisdiction. So if whyte hands over 25% of money to have exclusive rights from D&P then Whyte owns assets at that point.

If green then tries to stuff whyte after this - WHYTE has a valid claim.

WHO IS BEHIND GREEN?

who now owns the real bits of RFC?

what do fans own if anything in the share float?

Agree8 Disagree0

Green only paid £50,000 for assets, so whyte stake is bigger. hence claim for majority stake.

simples.

Agree9 Disagree1

@1; The fans own shares in The Rangers International Football Club. That is all. So in effect they own nothing. Shares in football clubs are from the heart not the wallet and green knew this

The scouting system needs revamped. ok. lets. get rid of our head scout for starters. and then keep him as a consultant? Sounds like a plan!
----------------------------------------------------
McCoist is due to hold talks with Gers chief Charles Green to thrash out next term's plans. He said: "We haven't discussed budgets for scouting or youth development, transfer budgets, all that kind of stuff.
------------------------------------------------------
Would you not be better having a sit down and find out wtf is going on with the so called 'owners' of your club?

Ally the mushroom. kept in the dark and fed any old cr@p.

green has got one hell of a job on to persuade the fans to renew season tickets after whyte has crawled out the woodwork again what player will also want to join us when they don't even no who the owners are this has been coming for a few months now as every thing green says doesn't add up murray park ment to be renamed stadium renamed was looking at players from euro championship dallas cowboys 25 year contract for mccoist said we would never run at a loss again yet losing a million a month all lies from green murray park one is real strange as that was at start season as still no name change maybe can't change name cause doesn't own it green has only deliverd 3 things kept our club alive 2 deliverd a share issue ad raised millions from fans witch am afraid we will not see peny spent on team 3 has payed over the odds on players wages charles has had his bluf has called now prove to the fans once and for all that u own all assets and put whyte in his place but I have ma doubts lies need to stop actions speak louder than words so far not anuf actions and transparenty with fans

Is this the beginning of the endgame, the final straw for tens of thousands of fans? Green was given the benefit of the doubt by most after quite rightly being suspicious of man who emerged from nowhere when the majority of the supporters backed the Blue Knights and Paul Murray. The consolation was that Whyte had gone and now he's back in the frame. McCoist worries about attracting the calibre of player he wants when he doesn't know which division we'll be playing in next season. What about attracting the same players to an empty Ibrox? I suspect that this latest sickening revelation of ownership will be too much for even the most die hard fans to put up with any longer.

Believable9 Unbelievable1

We need to know the whole story, whatever it ends up being, before we can fully get behind the club next season. Not parting with money till this is sorted. Had enough this season but stood firm. This recent trouble is pushing it for me. Fed up.

Bill miller was the one. who orchestrated the vile campaign against him paying 14.5m? I never understood why anybody would do that unless it was spoiling a plan. miller would have come in with his own people. no ally as manager. he is a shocking manager. so why is he there? I don't think its sunk in yet that his team has dropped 22 points in sfl div 3.

Agree3 Disagree1

@3 It didn't help Miller with fans acting the way they did. That wasn't right way to treat anyone. Look what we ended up with
