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.

As this seems to be SevcoQN tonight I’ll chuck in my tuppence worth.
Heard a wee snippet today that their physio was sacked because of missing injuries in at least one player they bought and that at least one “senior” player thinks that superally is as hopeless as the rest of the world knows he is and isn’t even on speaking terms with him.
Could all just be a scurrilous rumour of course.

Q5 Which Celtic player was Scottish Footballer of the year in 1988?
I take it that the SFA will announce that there ” is no sporting advantage” gained by the misregistration and dubious spivs cheating each other at Ibrox way.
No need for an enquiry.

@timomouse: As for grapevine rumours, before trading opens on Monday, Rangers shares will be suspended and an announcement made to AIM
@timomouse: This will be regarding an MVL in which shares will pass immediately to a consortium headed by Walter Smith for a new newco.
@timomouse: However, they will not have deeds to Ibrox and Murray Park. The rest of season will be 3-0 defeats with newco starting in Paisley in SFL2
@timomouse: The Rangers Football Club Est 2012 will play their last ever game at Ibrox tomorrow.
