Charles Green has claimed that Sevco are wanted in the Premiership by Manchester United and in La Liga by Barcelona!
Despite his failure to produce a prospectus for his reported share issue Green has been telling anyone gullible enough to listen about the footballing giant lurching in the fourth tier of Scottish football.
The Sevco mouthpiece was recently forced into a grovelling apology to Aston Villa but has returned to the theme of how much more Sevco can bring to the Premiership compared to Southampton, Swansea, Wigan and Aston Villa.
Despite having no audited accounts and no prospectus Green was given free reign by the Associated Press to preach the gospel according to Charlie despite admitting that he’d never heard of Davie Cooper when he arrived at Ibrox in May.
Without permission from Celtic it seems that Green is presenting both clubs as a package as he desperatly seeks credibility for his claims.
“As a football club, if Rangers were in the Premier League only Manchester United would be bigger,” the Sevco rent-a-quote claimed. “Because Arsenal ‘aven’t got more fans than Rangers the fan base is so big.
“I don’t believe the Premier League are ‘ostile towards it because I think it’s a generalization. Speak to Manchester United. They are not ‘ostile to Rangers joining.”
Enterprisingly Green’s claims were put to Manchester United and were quickly dismissed.
“We are not in favor of it at all,” Old Trafford spokesman Phil Townsend responded. “We are against it, our view is it’s the English Premier League and should remain that way.”
Revelling in the spotlight Green went on to claim that Sevco would be welcomed in La Liga!
He added: “Ask Barcelona and Real Madrid if they would like Rangers and Celtic in their league. They definitely would. Why wouldn’t Barcelona want to play Rangers ‘ome and away as opposed to playing Getafe. They would sell (those) games out.
“What will change football over 5-to-10 years is this insatiable demand for the big clubs to play each other. And this is not the insatiable demand from the west Midlands or from north London. This is the demand from the Middle East, Asia, the Far East.
“The difficulty is that ‘istorically I don’t think Celtic and Rangers would have been allowed to consider leaving Scotland. What is now going to change things … is now we’ve got this cross-border league for women.”
Green’s desire to move to England or Spain isn’t likely to go down well with the SFL who bent over backwards to create a place for Sevco and who presented their own plans for league reconstruction in midweek.

PLEASE, DON’T EVER COME BACK AGAIN
Dear Rangers supporters- never come back to Barcelona again. And not because your players themselves aren’t a legitimate team. No, it’s not because of that- the Nou Camp frequently hosts teams who are lazy, boring, who only defend, who run and kick their opponents, and who shouldn’t be in elite competition. On top of this, Rangers merely defend, run at the opposition and play dirty. Their defenders are butchers, their midfielders, heavy-footed; and their strikers just stand there like the furniture. Laughing
But even apart from the footballing aspect, the best thing would be for Rangers never to return to Barcelona, because every time they do, they make a mess of the place. 35 years ago, you (the Rangers supporters) destroyed the seats at the Nou Camp. This time we have enjoyed no less than 48 hours of brawls, provocation, rackets, fights and common drunk women throughout the whole city, which you have fouled however you pleased.
Stay at home and vomit in your own living-room, urinate in your sitting-room corners, fight with your neighbours, the Celtic supporters (who deserve a prize just for putting up with you) and foul the streets of Glasgow instead. Don’t come back here again, because it is not a laughing matter. And, by extension, don’t play in the Champions’ League either. You are not at that level neither in a sporting nor human sense.
There are noisy groups of supporters who, although they drink vast amounts of beer, make friends at the same time. But you? Not you, because everywhere you go, you turn into a rubbish tip. You are undesirables. And so are those who fraudulently sell, or “rent out” their tickets. These people screw Barca over, because they trade their season tickets illegally. And in doing this they cause massive annoyance for other members of the club. A true Barcelona fan would not re-sell their ticket for the match. If you are not going to the match, give it to a family member, or you could even use the ‘Seient Lliure’ service (an automated ticket service used by some Spanish clubs including Barcelona).
From now on, the responsibility lies with UEFA and the club itself to ensure who the ticket is sold to. The best thing for all of us would be that you as a supporter, in a moment of lucidity, decide not to travel if you do not have tickets. As that is never going to happen, those who sell the tickets illegally must be brought to justice. But the best thing would be if we never had to play Rangers again.

Pretty much says it all eh? filth
Yep!
Date 14 May 2008
Location
Manchester City Centre
England
Result
15 policemen injured, 39 arrests[1]
The 2008 UEFA Cup Final riots was a serious public disorder incident that took place in Manchester, England on the day of the 2008 UEFA Cup Final.
In addition to property damage, fifteen policemen were injured and ambulance crews attended 52 cases of assault. The rioting was widely condemned, particularly by politicians and media commentators. One early incident occurred when fighting between rival fans broke out in a public house, resulting in its closure. The evening before the match, Rangers fans had set off fire alarms in the city, a criminal offence. An official report found that missile-throwing and fighting by Rangers fans occurred as long as eight hours before the match began. Around late afternoon the Piccadilly fans zone’s gates were forced. Large numbers of fans were jumping upon the roofs of sales units and urinating. The sales units were “overrun” and frightened staff had to flee. Police were called but were powerless in the face of large numbers of supporters. Rangers fans then tore down railings, fighting amongst themselves, as the riot police arrived en masse. Several hundred people became directly involved in disorder and “considerable violence” was directed at the police. Thirty-nine police officers were injured,including one incident in which hundreds of fans isolated and attacked a riot officer. PC Paul Ritchie received a High Commendation for saving a police officer knocked to the ground by a bottle thrown by a rioter.
BBC News reported that groups of Rangers supporters had clashed with police in the city centre after attacking a bank, bus stops and a sports car which was bounced over the road.
There were reports that a Zenit Saint Petersburg fan was stabbed before the game outside the stadium. However, people detained in connection with the alleged incident were released without charge.
Authorities had to draft in hundreds of extra riot police to deal with the rioting. As the riots continued, by 2100 BST, ambulances were no longer being sent into the city centre unless accompanied by a police escort due to concerns about the “safety of the crew”.
British Transport Police reported sporadic outbursts of rioting at Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Deansgate train stations.
BBC News interrupted normal programming to broadcast the riots live on television,with ITN’s flagship News at Ten programme giving extensive coverage to the riots. Judge Andrew Blake of Manchester Crown Court, when later sentencing twelve people in connection to the disorder, described the riots as “the worst night of violence and destruction suffered by Manchester city centre since the blitz.
The following day the Prime Minister Gordon Brown condemned the rioting as “a disgrace”. Scottish Conservative leader, Annabel Goldie, said she was “absolutely appalled” by the footage, condemning the behaviour as “horrific and inexcusable”. Stephen Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council, offered an apology in a Manchester newspaper for 200 hardcore thugs.
Rangers Chief executive Martin Bain described the scenes as “dreadful” but claimed that the violent scenes “were caused by supporters that don’t normally attach themselves to our support”. He also stated that the club was “in general, absolutely delighted with the behaviour of our supporters.”
Alan Bairner, Professor of Loughborough University’s School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, described Rangers as having “the biggest hooligan problem in the British game”. Representatives of the Tartan Army indicated that the disturbances may damage the reputation of Scottish football fans abroad.
PC Mick Regan, attacked by a gang of twenty Rangers fans while lying on the ground, described the violence. “It was unbelievable when we got there, it was already in motion. It was frightening, on a different scale from any other match I have worked in my 23-year career. It seemed the vast majority were drunk and they just wanted to cause trouble. A lot of the fans were OK and just asking for directions but there was a large hard core … .I know they will say it’s a minority but a few thousand is a big minority.”
A UEFA spokesman indicated that Rangers were unlikely to face sanctions because the violence did not occur at the City of Manchester Stadium where the match was held.

Hey! What school did that man go to?
His name looks a bit Irishy, he must be out to get Rangers.
“Glasgow Rangers had their fans barred from entry, played pig-ugly football and behaved like swine.
“The Scots realized that they would not be able to eliminate Malmö from the Champions League fairly. Therefore they resorted to intimidating, kicking and fighting them. It was pathetic.
“Edu should have been sent off having been well warned. McCulloch’s yellow card when he kicked Durmaz from behind should have been a red – Durmaz should have been red carded when he retailated, but wasn’t even warned – and when Majid Bougherra assaulted Dardan Rexhepi leaving him almost unconscious, the sending off was indisputable.
“This was how Rangers acted.
“Their fans were banned from European matches. Their team should also be”M

Got to give him he credit for entertaining us. No matter how many times his comments get slapped down he keeps coming back with even more ridiculous ones. Lies and media propaganda is all he is about
I honestly cant decide if hes just taking them for everything like we all hope and pray, or is there something really wrong with this fanny? getting the inbred benifit scroungers onboard with playing to the low IQs is one thing but statements like these? cmon
I think this man has escaped from the nuthouse as rangers are not welcome in barcalona everytime they have been there they have trashed a great city come to think of it they trashed Manchester too!!!!
When judging the level of capability of this muppet, just compare his words, actions and demeanour to that of any other chairman at any level of football. Charlie is the court jester
Charles ‘Chorlton’ Green you truly are The Happiness Dragon.
Wheel on you ‘trumpet’!!!
