Penfold Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Surely, if the SPL clubs have voted no then the situation now has absolutely NOTHING to do with Doncaster now. He can get to fuck out of any position in Scottish Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow sheep Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 yes, he now has to receive his jotters with immediate effect. he has utterly fucked this situation up and lied to everyone. he has to go. Yep his miserable little tour of radio studios this morning telling us the vote was to be delayed, that there was a motion to allow them in this sanctions is now proven to be bulshit. Either he was deliberately lying and spreading false rumours in which case he must go. Or he is operating against the wishes of the majority of the SPL clubs in which case he must go. I trust the SFL chairmen will all realise what this charlatan is about and ignore his prophecy of doom when they vote next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Charles Green statement: "We are deeply disappointed that our application to rejoin the SPL has been rejected overwhelmingly by the member clubs. "This time last week, all of us at Rangers were resigned to the fact that we would not be admitted, due mainly to the public declarations of clubs indicating they would not support our application. "At the weekend, we were approached by representatives from the SPL suggesting our application still stood a chance of success and we should discuss this further with clubs. This we did in good faith but with the knowledge of the hurdles that lay ahead of us." "We had asked the SPL whether it would be more appropriate for us to withdraw our application but were advised against this. "We made a presentation to the SPL clubs this morning, detailing our proposals in support of our application and this included what we believed to be penalties and sanctions that would have dealt fairly with the difficulties caused by events at Rangers prior to our acquisition of the club on June 14. "Sadly this was rejected by the other clubs and we regret that our club and our supporters were given false hope by this initiative. "We will now proceed as we had planned from late June to apply for membership of the SFL. "It is entirely a matter for them whether our application will be accepted or rejected and we will make no representation to any member club prior to that application being considered. We also recognise that the SPL has been placed in a difficult position because of the way events have unfolded. "If our application were to be accepted, Rangers will play in whichever division the SFL sees fit and we will move forward from there. "The club hopes that the supporters, who have been absolutely tremendous since the club went into administration on February 14, will continue to support the club and make Rangers a success once again."

glasgowdon Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Charles Green statement: That almost sounds dignified. Marks deducted for use of the word "Rangers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow sheep Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Charles Green statement: That is probably the first reasoned statement I have seen come from within rangers/rangers (ia)/rangers (deceased)/seveco since the started. Better late than never, well done that man. Sounds like cockwomble and ?killie/celtic went scurrying off to try and turn the vote around when everyone else was against it and seveco were willing to speed the process up by withdrawing their application another reason for cockwomble to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbadteacher Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Almost, gd, apart from the underlying "We had asked the SPL whether it would be more appropriate for us to withdraw our application but were advised against this which, to me anyway, translates as "cockwomble telt us we'd get in nae borra" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
