Charles Green’s media team did well a week ago today. The Sun had an extremely damaging story on Green but demoted it to page six while dedicating its front page to the man himself, but the consequences of the story remain.
The Daily Record, who today confirms they are being fed stories by Ally McCoist, also reveal that The Rangers International board’s chairman, Malcolm Murray, is one vote short of being able to sack chief exec Green. Adding, without a hint of irony, “once again, it falls on this newspaper to inform the fans of what is really going on”.
Sacking Green should be fairly straightforward but while this will remove one pantomime act from the stage, the corporate governance issues remain. While he is in charge at least Green is available to assist the club prepare against charges by Craig Whyte that it inappropriately acquired* assets belonging to his company [“You are Sevco”: (Green)], Sevco 5088 Ltd.
If the chairman fails to sack the chief exec and fellow directors, Brian Stockbridge and Imran Ahmed, at next week’s board meeting, several non-executive directors might find it difficult to continue to pick up wages for providing oversight on behalf of stakeholders to ensure the club’s business was conducted appropriately.
Fortunately for Green he retains the support of his fellow collaborators, although his enablers in the media and support are diminishing by the day (bless all their sterling work). Green will go when it suits Green to go, most probably when he has found a suitable proxy to ensure his interests on the board are protected (as Whyte believed he had a year ago). This is likely to happen when he wants season ticket renewal money in. He’ll drift away, “true Rangers men” will front things for a while, but pantomime isn’t over. The serious corporate governance questions overhanging the club right now grow by the day.
I wonder if journo who moved to Ibrox as he couldn’t stomach the dubious integrity of the media industry (Green’s former chief-enabler) has the front to come out batting for Green. Or is he too scared?
Speaking about dubious integrity….. has anyone thought of the excuse the SFA will come up with to overlook the link between Whyte and Green on Newco’s associate membership application? I expect they will appoint Mr Bryson to head up an inquiry which will find, “There was a link but as we didn’t know about the link at the time we cannot take any action”.
* Tried really hard here to think of a less pejorative word or phrase than the one which initially sprung to mind.

Rod Stewart has been asked to sing at MT funeral
Hi Guys.
I’m just back from a week in the Algarve. I’ve been reading back and it seems that I’ve missed the emergence of a new band – Maggie & The Zombies. Seems to be all you guys are talking about.
Are they any good, then?
Wake up Maggie may NOT be everyone’s favourite

Documents filed at companies House show Charles green authorised the Directorship of C Whyte to Sevco 5088
The relevance being Rangers issued the following statement a few days ago
““For the avoidance of doubt, Sevco 5088 Limited bought the assets of the Rangers Football Club and then transferred them to Sevco Scotland Limited so that all the assets would be in the Scottish registered company that is Rangers FC.”
Green has also publicly stated that Whyte had no connection with Sevco 5088

I see a poster on the hun media site said that someone dumped 20,000 shares at 4.30pm today.

If this was a movie – I picture it like this.
The Baddie (SEVCO) – I don’t care what it takes, square it.
The Baddie’s Lawyer (SFA) – I can’t, can’t do it. the heat last time was too much. We only barely got away with it last time. And the heat on you is too much. You are all over the papers and it ain’t good news. You’re too hot Sally, and not in a good way.
The Baddie – Well if you’re no use to me, then you’re no use to me…
The Baddie’s lawyer – Hey Sally, come on now, calm down sally ole pal. Watcha doing with that rope there Sally. Don’t you come close now… Don’t you… ARGHHHH!!!!!!
Windows smash, tear gas rolls, the sound of sirens – We’ve got you surrounded Sally, come out with your hands up.
The Baddie – You’ll never take me alive Coppers! Even though I always thought you favoured me… Oh the irony…

Well remembered sir – it must have been a good book if you can recall those details. Like I said, I genuinely couldn’t get past page 30.

In the latter half of last year and this year I was criticized for persisting in using the word “Sevco”. I choose my words with care. Ok?
On mobile so can’t copy and paste but poster called ecoboy just posted a zinger on TSFM.
Green made application to strike off Sevco 5088 in December. If this was without the consent of his fellow directors he could be in big trouble…

I read it for Lent. Ended up quite enjoying it but as you say not easy to get into. The book I defy anybody to finish for pleasure is Don Quixote. Once he’s tilted at windmills and lost a bundle on the 1487 Copa Del Rey -all done by page 40 it’s desperately dull.

Ernie lynch , aposter on cqn said the same thing , ie ME .
Is my word not good enough that you have to go there for your facts ? Je suis desole .

Surely our hero Whyte is admitting to fraud by attempting to buy the assets of a company which he ran up debt to Hmrc etc, for a knockdown price? The rules are that a director of the company can’t purchase the assets of a company which he has put into administration.
It seems to me by bringing all this into the open he is incriminating himself to get at Green. A bit like the Chris Huhne affair. In other words he knows he is going down and he is taking the whole lot of them with him. A true hero
My smile tonight is bigger than the one I had on administration day 2012. Why?

Och it’s good to be a football supporter when the truth yet again comes out, perhaps this time round the corruption that strangles Scottish football will be ripped out at the core, sack Ogilvie it’s the only way to recover.

Think the Sevco omnishambles will play out of Airdrie next season ! Ballantynes love for all things deidclub is more important to him than a relegated Airdrie.
Huns would takeover shyberry ! Change name and utilise sfl full membership to start over assisted by longmuir ! I believe talks already taken place in the event of sevcoshambles armaggeddon ! Looking more likely by the minute !

This was something I noticed tonight on Snyde. They have in the past dropped callers (ok mainly us) for referring to them as Sevco but tonight this is all they themselves have used.
Funny how things change, or maybe the penny has finally dropped. :)
