chilledbear 16 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 CHARLES Green has sensationally waded back into the Rangers boardroom battle to demand a major shake-up. The ousted chief executive â?? still the biggest shareholder at Ibrox â?? is calling for urgent changes amid fears of a looming cash crisis at the club. Green has lodged a legal letter saying ex-chairman Malcolm Murray â?? described by insiders as his â??nemesisâ? â?? must be axed as a director. He also wants Murrayâ??s ally Phil Cartmell ditched â?? and for bus tycoon James Easdale to finally join the board after months of wrangling. Sources close to Green claim heâ??s even considering returning to run the club in a day-to-day role if changes arenâ??t made. His demands came in a formal request for an emergency general meeting of shareholders, which the club was examining yesterday. An insider said: â??Charles and other investors are unhappy with how the club is being run â?? especially the influence Malcolm has. â??There are worries that cash raised in the stock market float last year is being rapidly eaten into. Costs must be cut and revenues raised or Rangers are in trouble. â??But all we see is players being signed and season ticket prices being frozen.â? The move comes weeks after a separate group of investors loyal to Green made similar demands for a crisis meeting. Green, 60, fronted the consortium which took over Rangers last year but quit as chief exec in April amid claims of links to shamed ex-owner Craig Whyte. Rangers would not comment last night. Green could not be reached.

Tom Davison 0 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Don't know whether this just another episode of mischief making. If the comments attributed to CG are true, someone should be asking him about the £10m. he said that he was going to give to Ally. I may be wrong but I seem to think that Charles was still around when the decision to freeze season ticket prices was taken. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 he was in charge for a year, surely he should have been doing something about cutting costs during that time, instead of awarding himself, Amran and Stockbridge inflated packages, paying non exec Directors inflated fees and not renegotiating the football Managers salary. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY. If the above is true (it is the Sun after all....) then it is a sad indictment of Green himself and the job he did as CEO. He is blaming the Chairman but the CEO is the one running the club's daily activities - if he is moaning about costs not being reduced then he plays a very, very large part in that issue. Lets also not forget that he only left his CEO position at the end of May.... So is he saying that everything was rosy whilst he was there and that the wheels have fallen off in the last 5 weeks ? This doesn't exactly cover Green in glory. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,283 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 What if like warnings of fiscal imprudence administration and liquidation it isn't ? That is what the shyte-stirrers want to install in us. "Look, they sign people all over the place! Look, they are in the 3rd tier of the game! That can't be done without putting the club at risk! Surely! Let's throw some debate up here ... maybe someone rears his head!" Mather said that the signing spree will not go on for good. We all know it will not. The transfer window is open til the end of August, hence a good chance to loan or sell some players. We all know that Green and Murray don't go along with one another, but Murray has nothing to say on the board right now, has he? Has Green? Shareholder he might be, but does he sit at the directors' table. Has he met Smith recently? Mather? We know nothing about this and unconfirmed sources of the "people-close-to" variety of a paper trying to get ahead of the DR in selling figures (not that great a feat, but anyway) coming up with some "board-room wrangle stuff" of the days pre-Smith and -Mather? Qui bono? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qui bono? As Green brought in most of the investors and spread new cheap shares around his cronies, I would imagine he still has a lot of power to climb back into the driving seat if he wants to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qui bono? There was a rather more tangible article in the Herald on Monday along the same lines, I fear our wage bill player wise will be bigger than last year with a pool of around 35 so far at about 3k average say 100k a week total or £4.8 million a year for players only, not good. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
