ian1964 10,409 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Earlier on today RangersMedia’s sources revealed that the Charles Green lead consortium is set to be named preferred bidder. So who are [insert name of Green’s consortium… the Green Knights doesn’t sound quite right]? I’ll have a quick look at some of those that are believed to be involved. The front man, Charles Green, held the Chief Executive role at Sheffield United in 1997. During his time at Bramall Lane, Green was unpopular with fans; the fans held him responsible for the sale of several key players. During Green’s short stint at the Blades there were short comings of success both on and off the park. Following his spell with Sheffield United, Green moved into football agency with firm Proactive Sports. Proactive Sports have represented players such as Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney. He remained chairman with Proactive Sports until 2003. Since then, Green has had directorial involvement in several medical science firms. Green currently holds a non-executive chairman role with Singaporean based company Nova Resources Ltd. It is unknown whether there are any links to Bill Ng, who was previously unsuccessful with his bid for the Ibrox club. Former Newcastle United owner, Freddie Shepherd, is believed to be another cog in the engine room of a new consortium. The Geordie made his money in the scrap metal trade. His estimated worth is approximately £60 million. It is a similar story with Shepherd in regard to fan popularity. Many Newcastle United fans hold Shepherd responsible for the crippling debts and overly expensive running costs that Newcastle had before Mike Ashley’s 2007 takeover. However, whilst holding an executive role on the Newcastle United board, Shepherd saw the arrival of then world-record signing Alan Shearer. Shepherd was also instrumental when the St James’ club captured the signature of Michael Owen. Joe Lewis is Britain’s seventh wealthiest man with an estimated wealth of £3.8 billion. Lewis currently has a stake in Tottenham Hotspur, but has previously had a stake in the Ibrox club. Lewis has an impressive business portfolio; he is the main investor in the Tavistock Group, which owns more than 200 companies in 15 countries. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
