John Brown has warned disgruntled Sevco fans that Charles Green still has one massive surprise up his sleeve- ownership of the cherished title deeds to Ibrox.
A year ago Brown walked out of his scouting role at Ibrox and in front of a crowd of almost 3,000 angry fans asked the famous question- ‘Show me the deeds’.
The former Rangers defender couldn’t have been more scathing about Green but a few sound-bites later season tickets were flying off the shelves with the big ‘anded Yorkshireman given an ‘eroes welcome by supporters from Orlando to Australia.
In November Walter Smith gave Green his endorsement by accepting an invite to become a non-executive director before stepping up to the role of chairman in May.
With 34,000 season tickets sold Smith has walked away leaving supporters devastated- but worse is to follow follow according to Brown.
“It’s a ticking time-bomb, just find out whose name is on the title deeds,” the Dundee boss said.
“I take no satisfaction from saying I told you so to the people who laughed at me when I warned them about Green shortly after he arrived on the scene.
“I see it as no surprise that Walter’s had enough of him. In my estimation Green is not an honourable man and he has used Ally to deflect attention from what’s going on at directorial level inside Rangers.
“My fear for the club is that they’ll go bust, back into administration, before the end of the season.
“Rangers are leaking money for fun and it can only go on for so long. For the sake of Scottish football, they need to survive but there are too many people who are taking and taking, rather than giving.
“There are too many takers at boardroom level at Ibrox, including investors.
“Sooner rather than later there will be no money left. Bang, they will be out of business.
“Rangers will go down unless the fans stand up and say enough is enough. That’s the only way.
“Green was never away. He might have had an extended holiday but he was never away because the people who are running Rangers are putting him up front.
“Rangers will suffer and they will continue to suffer until they sort it all out. Meanwhile people inside the club are still vying for positions because of their interest in personal gain.
“They’re in it for a slice of the cake and Walter knew that he, as chairman, wasn’t in control of the boardroom.
“He must also have understood that he would have lost personal credibility if he’d continued to be associated with these people.
“He’s done the right thing by going but I know he’ll be hurting very badly inside at the same time.”
After losing to Forfar Athletic on Saturday £850,000-a-year manager McCoist blamed Green for the defeat following a newspaper interview in which the former Sheffield United supremo said there would be a problem in the club failed to win a cup.
Responding to that suggestion Brown said: “It was a daft thing to say and if Scott Gardiner, my chief executive at Dens Park, had gone public with something like that I’d have punched his head off.”
Green can now bribe The Scottish FA for all their behind the scenes shenanigans. McCoist wants to be sacked so he can be compensated for the money he has lost on the shares. If Sevco go into liquidation as is likely, will there be a new resurrection from the dead and I wonder who will be in a starring role? Donald Finlay’s bookcase?
talk about reaping what you sow , long may it continue . THIS AND WHAT IS TO COME IS TRUE JUSTICE!!

Just when you thought it was safe to start the diet, you start stuffing more jelly n Icecream Doon ur throat, THANKYOU SEVCO, naw really, THANKYOU.
hail hail, 125 YEARS OF JELLY N ICECREAM
Scott Gardiner, John Browns boss, will need to be very careful what he says in public concerning his clubs aspirations and Mr Browns role in them, as Mr Brown has publicly declared a willingness to “punch his head off” if he disagrees.
I wonder what Scott Gardiner makes of that.
Exactly what I was thinking. What a bunch they are. These Huns. Are there no depths they won’t sink to. HH. Save our green brigade.
So Mr Big Bad Bomber Brown your chairman cant say publicly he would expect some silverware or there may be a problem but its ok for you to say publicly that you’d give him a five knuckle sandwich! As usual, one rule for ra-peeple and another for everyone else.. what a fanny!
Chuckles Green, the gift that just keep’s on giving! Every time I see John Brown, the fact that humans are descended from apes makes complete sense. Talk about the missing link! Keep the laughs coming sevco. HH
Imagine for a second that you were looking to this jelly-headed eejit for guidance! Imagine him being the only one who comes out of the whole fiasco with a tad of credibility (as long as he isn’t allowed to slabber at the TV cameras)! Imagine paying this guy a decent salary to manage your club only for him to appear more concerned for some new club who are barely a year old!
You couldn’t make it up and you don#t have to.
If RIFC go into administration then hopefully there will be no resurrection for them as that was what should have happened to the club formerly known as Rangers.The disgraceful running of that club and the contortions the football authorities went through to get RIFC into the fourth tier brought shame to the game in this country.
club formerly known as Rangers should have had their licence to play football taken from them altogether and any ‘tribute’ act should have started in the amateur or junior ranks and worked their way up.There is no morality in the game now and cheating on the field of play or in the boardroom is acceptable.All professional clubs by refusing to pursue proper punishment for the club formerly known as Rangers are just as guilty as the SPL.SFA and SPL for letting them stay in the professional game under the tribute act banner of RIFC.
Anyone paying money to see professional football in Scotland are merely lining the pockets of clubs and the authorities and as a result condoning, passively, what has gone on.
if Scott Gardiner, my chief executive at Dens Park, had gone public with something like that I’d have punched his head off.”
What a marvellous example John Brown is.
Great to hear brown passing the old ‘for the good of Scottish football’ line again.
Yeah, lying, cheating, thieving, swindling, sectarian, racist, backstabbing, trecherous despicable b@stards, an ‘institution’ willing to thieve the food out of the sick and dyings mouth, steal from any charity they can, and cheat in every competition they play in, with proven murderous fans who are welcom nowhere and drag ‘THEIR’ country through the gutter at every opportunity, who get their jollies throwing homeless beg-gers into foutains while grown men hold their peepees and squeal in delight like wee lassies at a justin bieber concert and sing about decent people dying of cancer, yes just what Scottish football needs.
Infact just what Scotland needs as a country, true blue embassadors of the Scottish ‘culture’ we want to share with the rest of the world!!
HH
‘ punch his head off ‘ on yourself bomber ya madman the guys a nutter if I said to my boss that I’d punch his head off I’d be out the door HH
It’s been a close run thing whether I enjoyed reading the article or the comments more – both brilliant. Nah, definitely the comments.
HH.
The turmoil continues
Give me 15 million and all make sure it goes to a good cause The one place it will not go to is the rangers trust After the Inter Malian game where the money whent to the Huns So here hopeing that Green becomes the next chair man of the smallest club in Scotland Hail Hail
The hun t-shirts with the poppy motif, the poppy collection at the hunnery, the Dundee United gate money………etc…..all allegedly questionable.
Of course that’s not counting the tax bill left behind by sevco that would have helped provide funds for sorely needed protection from IEDs for the troops the huns love so much, or the cash stolen from the National Health Service at a time when A&Es are being closed down and children have to go abroad for cancer treatments due to cut backs.
Despicable doesn’t cover it.
HH
As a Celtic fan living in dundee it is well known here that Scott gardiner is a prominent person in the orange order who employed bomber without interviewing any other applicant for the managers job which left numerous fans reps & directors with no choice but to resign from the extended board, just as side note to bomber how sore was it when big rab Douglas gave you the right hook before he walked out on dundee fc ?
It’s official, the huns stole 191 THOUSAND POUNDS of charity cash from their AC ‘ charity game’ .
Despicable scumbags to a man.
HH
