Mr Green we ain't wearing that T-Shirt again

[D'Artagnan 173]

"As a club we are not just ready to move on - we have moved on â??

 

Its not even a week since Charles Green declared these words to a watching world. On the back of a hugely successful shares issue, resting clear at the top of our current league and with a tax tribunal exonerating this club from the shameful, barbed and misguided accusations of many, there was every reason for us to look forward from an annus horribilis.

 

Central to that upbeat feeling was a spirit of togetherness as well as considerable pride, as the Rangers support became the epitome of loyalty to a football club, the jaw of the world dropped as it witnessed the heroic efforts of the Rangers support, from the purchase of season tickets and exercise of faith in an unknown chief executive, standing shoulder to shoulder in a determination to follow this club to a selection of grounds which tend to be more narrow than broad. This is the same support whose fervour, faith and desire to see their club resulted in the cancellation of an SFL match due to the over sale of tickets.

 

With the financial outlook looking secure, a Chief Executive who appears willing to fight for this club and it's support, pledges of prospective security and stability for the future, you could be forgiven for thinking everything is rosy.

 

But quite clearly it's not.

 

Today Rangers supporters will be awakening to a press story carried by the Daily Record, of a power struggle within Ibrox. A fairly detailed report with the ubiquitous â??source close to the clubâ? claiming that Charles Green has threatened to quit amid an unresolvable rift with Malcolm Murray.

 

Once again we as a support are plunged into confusion and not undue concern about events at our club. Are we to return to those dark days of that annus horribilis of trying to ascertain the truth between club statements and contradictory media reports ? Is there any validity to this story or is it merely the latest in a series of attempts to de-stabilise our club ? If its the latter then might I respectfully suggest our Head of Communications follows through on the implications of â??Word of advice gentlemen. From now on be very careful when talking or writing about this clubâ?

 

REMINDER TO THOSE WITHIN IBROX â?? this support have been here got the T-Shirt and we have absolutely no intention of donning it again.
