Aston Villa have hit back at Charles Green’s claim that they are completely useless.
While talking up his plans for a share issue Green gave his views on a number of subjects including speculating on a future European Super League.
During the discussion the Sevco chief ridiculed the contributions of Southampton, Swansea and Aston Villa before apologising three days later.
Responding to the claims a statement from Villa said: “Villa were surprised late last week when a Charles Green took a swipe at the club.
“Whilst admittedly bizarre and out of left field, Green did later apologise, as set out below, stating that he was aware of Villa’s pedigree from a defeat of Sheffield Utd when he had worked there.
“We are hoping that going forward Green will retreat to his day job and leave the cutting remarks for those standing on somewhat stronger footing.
“Apology from Charles Green, Chief Executive of Rangers Football Club, to Aston Villa:- “During a press briefing I was asked how I saw the future of football. I was explaining how I believed that the current situation where clubs in England are receiving massive revenues from television rights, yet remain behind the big clubs in England and Europe in terms of success in competition, is unlikely to continue forever. Some of my remarks were taken out of context and I apologise unreservedly to Aston Villa, whom I know full well to be a club with a proud history. I remember clearly – but not too fondly – them beating Sheffield Utd in the FA Cup when I was chief executive there.”
Green plans to float his club on the Alternative Investment Market before the end of this year.

Your comments weren’t taken out of context, ya gibbering, two-faced, yorkie muppet.
Your comments were taken exactly as you meant them. The fact that you had the cheek to aplogise only highlights how much of a weasel you are.
i think Greenie will be missed when he swans off into the sunset with a few hun bucks
Its hard to stomach the fool just now. But he will be remembered fondly by us in future. Hes taking that mob for everything and they are too dim to see it. Priceless
The mans an idiot. Jealous of another great club that has won the ultimate European trophy, something The Rangers fc will never do.
Green must stay at zombie FC. Making statements like that after being pumped by Stirling Albion just shows he’s taking them in the right direction “DOWN THE TOILET” hail hail
Bhoys – the comic tragedy that befalls our respective bluenose ‘rivals’ is surely divine retribution for past sins.
I envy you the entertainment you will get from this devious numptie Green – but as we down here in Birmingham like to say about our ‘Blues’ – they are the gift that keeps on giving.
Enjoy the divine comedy fellas.
Cheers.
