Steve1872 4 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 CHARLES GREEN has confirmed that Rangers will apply to join the Scottish Football League after today's rejection by the SPL. The Rangers Chief Executive says he is deeply disappointed at the 'no' vote today at Hampden and false hope that there was a chance of success. He said: "We are deeply disappointed that our application to rejoin the SPL has been rejected overwhelmingly by the member clubs. "This time last week, all of us at Rangers were resigned to the fact that we would not be admitted, due mainly to the public declarations of clubs indicating they would not support our application. "At the weekend, we were approached by representatives from the SPL suggesting our application still stood a chance of success and we should discuss this further with clubs. This we did in good faith but with the knowledge of the hurdles that lay ahead of us. "We had asked the SPL whether it would be more appropriate for us to withdraw our application but were advised against this. "We made a presentation to the SPL clubs this morning, detailing our proposals in support of our application and this included what we believed to be penalties and sanctions that would have dealt fairly with the difficulties caused by events at Rangers prior to our acquisition of the Club on June 14. "Sadly this was rejected by the other clubs and we regret that our Club and our supporters were given false hope by this initiative. "We will now proceed as we had planned from late June to apply for membership of the SFL. "It is entirely a matter for them whether our application will be accepted or rejected and we will make no representation to any member club prior to that application being considered. We also recognise that the SPL has been placed in a difficult position because of the way events have unfolded. "If our application were to be accepted, Rangers will play in whichever division the SFL sees fit and we will move forward from there. "The Club hopes that the supporters, who have been absolutely tremendous since the Club went into administration on February 14, will continue to support the Club and make Rangers a success once again." http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/football-news/article/2832267 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthter 542 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 "We had asked the SPL whether it would be more appropriate for us to withdraw our application but were advised against this. I would like to hear the official SPL explanation for this!!! Did they actually believe the clubs would change their minds, or were they just looking for a wee bit extra humiliation??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today had nothing to do with Green, in fact if you would take of your hate glasses for a min you would see thet steps forward he has taken the club with getting Coventry to agree Fleck was a Rangers player to sell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. It could be due to the training compensation for youth players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
