The resignation of Charles Green from his post as Rangers International chief executive last month was more curious for what it wasn’t – a resignation from the board. Green retained his position as a director of the club. This was always likely to have consequences.
BBC report this morning that club chairman, Malcolm Murray, who media outlets loyal to Green reported innuendo against earlier this year, in what was viewed as an attempt to discredit and ultimately remove him, yesterday lost a vote of confidence at a board meeting.
I am certain the vote of confidence was called by Murray himself after he informed the board, including Charles Green, of how he intends to deal with the important matters surrounding the club at this time. In particular, what he plans to do with information received from Pinsent Masons and forensic accountants from Deloitte. The investigation underway by Pinsents and Deloittes is only taking place at the insistence of Murray.
The innuendo against Murray was inappropriate and part of a dirty tricks campaign against the man by those who do not have Rangers best interests at heart [the irony is searing]. The normal reaction to losing a vote of confidence is to resign and let your opponents deal with the consequences of their actions. Murray may feel he has done all he can for the club (or company, if that is how some would like to start calling the entity now). Those who invested in Craig Whyte’s various claims last month will enormously encouraged.
On Friday I’ll be joined by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Paul McConville at the Columba Club, Blantyre, for what is certain to be an enjoyable Question and Answer event. Tickets, £5 each, for the Columba Charitable Fund, are available at the door. I’m really looking forward to it. See you there.

Who is left at deidco? With Walty this week’s ‘back me or sack me’ ticket-holder, Craig ‘the janny’ Mather must be wondering who’s going to order the bog roll he needs, and don’t get him started on the lack of Cilit Bang!
Who will approve the new contracts? Who will approve the overlooked new contracts?
Elbows needs someone to sign his holiday card and Lee Wallace is looking for a reference for his Provvy cheque.
It’s chaos ah tell ya!!!
Whats craic with this celtic choir next season ?
Seen basically nothing about it on the tim net .
Good morning CQNers,
G69……..Welcome, I’m pleased you enjoyed the book. I won’t offer you the obligatory ‘are you a hun?’ as you’re obviously not.
The one possible positive that could come from the proposal of a sole governing body for Scottish football is a root and branch reform of the football administration in Scotland. It’s time to get rid of the Campbell Ogilvies and Alexander Brysons and bring in more of the Turnbull Huttons, but, somehow I don’t for one minute believe it’ll happen.

Nevin on shortbread…’ I used to be a Celtic fan’………
…… Nevin is a knob, once a Celtic fan always a Celtic fan, there is no alternative. So it follows he was never a Celtic supporter.

Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day.

A very happy birthday to you young man.
Good Morning all,
Interesting stuff from Paul McConville in his blog which is linked above.
The terms of the Insolvency act and the conduct it seeks to regulate may well yet play a large part in the unfolding saga going on over Ibrox way as it appears that there is a far greater chance that everything related to Rangers, past and present, is going to be measured against rule compliance and statutory provisions.
The running of that organisation is now so totally divorced from the game of football it is astonishing.
What’s more, as we shall soon see, the ordinary sports journalist is more than ever completely out of their depth in reporting the moves and potential machinations that are taking place.
The leaking of “Walter’s” position to the press is indicative of the amateurishness of the parties concerned. Contrast that with the all of silence surrounding Fergie’s potential retirement or sabbatical.
In footballing terms– be prepared for the Zeus Capital guys to rung legal and corporate rings round Walter & Co— and it will be a rout if they succeed in forcing Malcolm Murray out the door.
I heard yesterday that the Pinsent Masons fee for the alleged independent report is HUGE!!!!!!
Many happy returns Vmhan,

@Paulmcc12 I defer to your knowledge, thanks. Doubt SFA would have issues: they think CLUB didn’t go bust only the COMPANY.
Many happy ole returns to Vmhan.

From the daily mail
Further news that will anger fans is the ongoing independent inquiry into links between former owner Craig Whyte, Green and ex-commercial director Imran Ahmad – an investigation called for by Murray – is likely to continue for another couple of weeks at a cost of around £500,000 which the Ibrox club can ill afford.
Rangers last night refused to confirm or deny these revelations. daily mail.
Morning All,
Happy Hoopy Birthday to Vmhan…
