Charles Green is refusing to name anyone in his 20 strong worldwide consortium hoping to take over Rangers.
The prospects of agreeing a CVA that will need to include HMRC and Ticketus are slight but that doesn’t seem to have dampened the enthusiasm of the former Sheffield United chief.
‘Straight talking Yorkshireman’ could become as commonly used a phrase as ‘Motherwell born billionaire’ once was but when it comes to revealing who he is working alongside Green is keeping his cards close to his chest.
Asked about his fellow backers yesterday Green responded with: “Do you want to sign a cheque for my consortium? Give me your name, give me some money, let’s get it cleared and you can be part of the team.
“I’m not going to turn money down. If I can raise £1billion, I’ll raise £1billion.
“It’s very important these days, with money laundering and other things, that those issues of where the money is coming from are dealt with. We are not dealing with people of disrepute in this consortium.
“The reason I selected some of these people is because in the areas where they live they have fantastic connections and my vision for Rangers is to develop the brand in those areas.
“Asia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China – the demand for football is insatiable. I believe this product, one of the world’s leading football names, can benefit from exposure out there and by setting up academies.
“The interest of my investor group is not to walk round, have photoshoots, developing my image or someone else’s image.
“These people want to do it for the right reasons and they will not just be able to sign cheques. With all respect to where we sit today, financially the world is in a mess.
“But people still have an interest in football, it still attracts people for the right reasons. We will provide the names. If and when we get confirmation of the CVA going through, I’ll be more than happy to sit down and show you that list.”
Former Newcastle director Freddie Shepherd has been linked to the Green bid but the new man at Ibrox wasn’t able to shed any light on that rumour.
Green said: “Look, if Freddie Shepherd walks through that door today and wants to put a cheque in, providing I know that money’s not come from drugs, prostitution or any illegal source, that he’s got the interest of Rangers at heart, then I’ll take his cash.”

NURSE!!!!!!
Mr Green will need some drugs , booze . & some prozies after he see’s what he’s got himself into !!!

“prostitution” R.F.Cia (doooomed) will be comfortable with that. They have been “prostituting” their ‘dignity’, integrity and morals for well over 100 years. Time to clear the back-streets!
H H
why don’t we hear the voice of McCoist on this one?
“I want to know who these people are. We as Rangers supporters have a right to know who these people are. The general public have a right to know who these people are ……blah blah
Green brings in people from all the airts and pairts with money coming from God knows what source and not one question from the Ibrokes “we demand” lobby.
I could not give a fcuk whether Rangers live or die but I DEMAND that justice is served and that HMRC do what they do to the rest of us and collect every last penny.
Green and Whyte seems and apt death if it comes.
Hail Hail
Chico Green sounded like an England football manager just before a world cup game. We’re gonna do this and we’re gonna do that and then…we will win the world cup!!!EASY!!! and all those that buy into it believe it too until the game is up and the excuses come fast and articulate. If only. . .
