Charles Green has called in the SFA to stop the Ibrox exodus.
Steven Whittaker and Steven Naismith announced today that they won’t be transferring their contracts to Green’s Sevco.
Both players highlighted uncertainty over what level the new club would play at as well as a lack of communication with Green since his CVA was rejected by HMRC.
Green will meet with the SPFA tomorrow in an attempt to ensure that the players have their contracts transferred using TUPE legislation but has made it clear that he’ll fight all the way to prevent any player from walking away.
“It is a great pity that certain players have chosen this time to attempt to tear up their contracts and walk away from the Club,” the former Sheffield United chief said.
“The Club is facing massive challenges in terms of its league status and the last thing the fans want to see is a dispute between the Club and players.
“However, it appears that is the route several players are choosing. I can assure those players and Clubs who may be interested in signing them that Rangers will seek damages for breach of contract and for inducement to break contracts.
“The SFA has been considering the issue and has issued a preliminary guidance note on registration issues. That note has made it clear that it is open to the Club to challenge the actions of the players.
“Our lawyers have written to the SFA today intimating that we do challenge the actions of the players and explaining why that is. They have also asked that the SFA confirm how it proposes to resolve the dispute between the players and Club.”
Green added: “We have no wish to go to court on these matters but the players involved, their agents and clubs who may be pursuing these players should be in no doubt that we will do whatever it takes to protect the Club’s interests.
“As Ally McCoist said yesterday the players should be honest about their intentions. When the players agreed to take wage cuts earlier this year they renegotiated their contracts to allow them to leave for reduced values.
“That was a sensible quid pro quo and meant that the Club would still get some transfer value for them should they leave.
“What is happening now is that the players want to leave for nothing, thereby denying the Club any transfer value at all.
“At the same time, players who are ready to breach their contracts want to secure handsome signing on fees for other clubs, while Rangers get nothing.”
It’s expected that at least half a dozen more first team players are ready to inform Green that they won’t be agreeing to have their contracts transferred to Sevco.

This mob want the SPl/SFA/SFL, to re~write the football rule book to accommodate them, now employment law, has to change too!!
As a Newco what rights do they have to challenge anything, they should be in Division 3 and thank Scottish football for that, if they’re nit happy they should die off!
If I was Green, I wouldn’t buy a wig. He obviously knows nothing about TUPE.
Oh naw no another CIVIL WAR FFS.

I wouldnt want any of them at Celtic. They are all tainted.
And the stupid twat paid 5.5 million for what will be a under 19 team if they even find a league to play in!
Fat Sally must be demanding the names of the other players who wil jump ship over the coming days!
HH
I would like to be serious and comment on the lack of knowledge or the non-advice that C. Green has. However, after so long listening to his gibberish, I just can not be bothered.
H H
Actually, I will comment. I truly believe that Charlie’s lawyers are trying to ‘bust’ him. He will be breaking the law. The SFA are used to that but he is relatively new to it. He needs to be told that getting away with braking football laws is not the same as the laws of the country.

Now, I’m no big city lawyer……but I just don’t understand how Green can get the physical assets of the club AND now what he is arguing he sees as saleable assests in the players for £5m. If the players were property of the club like Green is arguing, why were they not included in the value when it was sold? This is all hypothetical, but I would be interested to know. Also, when are the HMRC appointed liquidators allowed to challenge that sale?
Castle greyskull is crumbling
Just passed the church parade in govan today funny as fxxk looking at the twelve people following .they looked so sad
Hail hail gbnl
Didn’t these same players take a 75% drop in wages on the understanding that they could ‘walk away’ for nothing in the summer if a good offer came in? I must have imagined that bit. I can’t believe Mr green would do anything sneaky or untoward.
Did anyone see Green’s lawyer on the news explaining why they were taking this action against the players? He was sweating as if he was in a sauna. It must have been all the effort of trying to look honest.
I really hope no one else leaves, as the poor fans have been traumatized enough – but wait how is Mr Green going to afford those wages in div 3 ( If they’ll have the ‘Club with no name’), and pay for IBrokes, Murray Park upkeep etc – can’t wait till next Liquidation Day next year.
What is with these mega morons at Sevco? You don’t have a club? There is no Rangers! The Newco doesn’t even have a license to play football anywhere yet and might not get one if the rules are followed! (fat chance).
No matter how many times you (Green) and fat Sally try to pretend that Rangers aren’t dead its still a fact! Rangers are dead!!! Jesus!!! And now trying to make these players look bad in the press (Sally) is an utter disgrace! Just shut up, for Christ sakes!!!
Maybe y’all shoulda looked into this stuff before you jumped in to this mess at the absolute last minute!!!
Just feel fortunate that (as usual) you seem to have the pathetic MSM and SPL/SFA on your side, or you’d be SO dead and buried right now, your new club would never get off the ground!!!
‘While RANGERS get nothing’!!???
Puting it simply for the hard of thinking, ‘rangers’ don’t exist, and if they did any money gained from the sale of players would go to the people that payed for them, the taxpayer!
Their arrogance is mindbendingly unbelievable, they still think they can just carry on as though nothing has happened, demanding an entitlement to everything from everyone, while paying no-one anything!
DnP should’ve sold these players to raise money and cut the wage bill back in February. They thought they were doing the potential owners a favor but ended up creating a mess!
It’s all comical now.
In the words of Cast:
If you’ve heard all they got to say
You looked but turned away
Walkaway, walkaway
If you’ve said all you got to say
And now the words just slip away
Just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That’s what they say, what they say,
what they say
You gotta walkaway
If you’ve played all the games they play
You played them yesterday
Walkaway, walkaway
If you’ve been, where they want to go
Seen all they got to show
Just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That’s what they say, what they say,
what they say
You gotta walkaway
Is this Charles Green fella daft as a brush or is he more clever than letting on.
The stuff he’s spouting on about just doesn’t add up.He wants money for these players that played for the now defunct club..hehehe and yet the now defunct club has left a trail off destruction and a mass amount off people out off money.
Surely if they got any money for them then the descent thing to do would be to pay some off the monies back to the people they have just fleeced……but when did they do anything descent………NEVER
The irony from this shower of shite is unbelievable!!!!! He’s complaining that players are leaving and “the” rangers are not going to get any dosh! What about hearts, rapid and st ettien amongst others that are owed money they will probably never see because of these cheating bastards!!! Really makes my blood boil listening to all their shite!!!!
