charles greenSevco Scotland founder Charles Green has issued an angry attack on the Ibrox hierarchy including Ally McCoist.

Speaking to Sky Sports News the big handed Yorshireman explained how he was given half the salary of McCoist when it should have been double.

Green bought the assets of Rangers In Liquidation from Duff & Phelps in June 2012 and walked out on the club 10 months later having picked up over £933,376 for his troubles consisting of £333,077 salary, a £360,000 bonus, benefits of £22,449 and a severance payment of £217,850

Green and a number of colleagues from Zeus Capital, plus McCoist, bought up millions of shares for one penny each before launching an IPO that allowed supporters to buy shares at 70p each.

In recent weeks Green’s regime has been blamed for the financial crisis at Ibrox with a crisis loan required to meet the February payroll.

Sounding almost hysterical as he spoke to Jim White Mr Green told Sky Sports News: “I was the only employee, the only director the only investor, I was going to ‘ave the same salary as Ally McCoist butMalcolm Murray said that was wrong and ‘alved it. For the work I did at Rangers I should ‘ave ‘ad double.

“Secondly I didn’t want the severance pay, I would ‘ave liked to ‘ave stayed at Rangers but I was driven out of that club.”

Asked about his own Ibrox income he responded: “It’s a matter of public record, it’s in the accounts, my salary was £360,000-a-year, I didn’t take 12 months notice, I agreed with Ian ‘art that I’d take less money because I didn’t want to penalise the club.

“I would ‘ave ‘appily carried on at Rangers, the bonus was a bonus which was contractually in my contract and I was entitled to it!”

Despite no Alternative Investment Market announcement Green claimed that he had sold his shareholding to former VAT convict Sandy Easdale.

Green is expected in the Court of Session next month as a witness in Ahmad’s claim for £650,000 in unpaid bonuses from his time as Sevco commercial director.

    He only got a hand full.

  • Phil Ossifer says:

    You got to “hand” it to Chuckles, the straight talkin’, honest businessman feels that he was used and abused at the crumbledome. Imagine, wee sally getting twice what Chuckles got, man, are they in some kind of mess. Celtic should, in keeping with their charitable ethos, step in and invite Chuckles to “the bunnett’s” unveiling of the championship flag. After all, Chuckles has done almost as much for the Celtic cause as Fergus.

  • JoeG says:

    I see some perjury and contempt of court on the horizon. Some not so white lies, (more like Green and Whyte), which has to stay silent to save the new club from forced sale, just like rangers the club they replaced in the league when they liquidated.

  • peter says:

    Good on Chuckles.
    I agree 100% with him.He had the unfotunate pleasure of putting this whole
    shabang together.
    Yet the Sleekit one,get’s double his salary
    plus 1p shares.
    For what does Sleekit deserve this ?

    Well said Chuckles,give us more.Keep us
    entertained.

    Guess who’s going to win their case ?

    • Wulz88 says:

      Peter
      Sleekit says he didn’t know what he was being paid, cause he never looked at the contract he just signed it. Yet the zombies of Struth etc will still sing super sally. Hardly intelligent life form

      • peter says:

        Yes,Wulz 88,

        Sleekit could give the Lying King,a run
        for his money ( or 1p shares ) in the
        lying stakes.

        Insolvency is just around the corner.

  • sparks says:

    Sounds like the chucklebug intends on doing the board no favours. lets have a big hand for the Green knight

  • paranoidandroid says:

    “… I was driven out of that club.” Hmm! If you say so, Charlie, I believe you.

  • Wulz88 says:

    He seen how thick the zombies are, and creamed them rotten, there so STUPID. Looks to me like he’s setting himself up for some forthcoming legal action. Hope him and his friend Ahmad get even more out them. It’s the last thing they need lol

  • drawkcab says:

    Tonights dare : stand on thd kitchen table and do your best charles green impersonation for 5 minutes. Get someone to video it on there phone and put it on youtube.

  • jaztecc says:

    talking of sleekit, I see he is sitting on the fence as regards to whose sides he is on king or Wallace, reminds me of that nursery rhyme….. humpty dumpty sat on a wall humpty dumpty had a great fall and the KINGS horses ect ect ect…….

  • Funkyy says:

    They get paid according to their weight at Ayebrokes and Ally “Oops I Did It Again” is at least double the weight of Green….and getting fatter by the day!!!!!

  • LogicAl says:

    Re the photo: Has that man actually got a shirt on over the top of another shirt? Wassallatabout????

    • peter says:

      Log,

      Who cares about the shirts.
      The luxurious French chateaux ( paid for
      by the Zombies ) is what the bigger picture
      is all about.

  • jaztecc says:

    real reason big ‘ands was driven out was b,cos with those big ‘ands he couldn’t do the funny handshakes

  • Wulz88 says:

    Raised 22 million in a zombie share offer, then charged them 6 million to set it up, and they actually bought it.
    BEGGARS BELIEF

  • Sergio says:

    Sorry Peter, I’m with Log; Chuckles Green obviously thinks that NO rules apply to him. He’s wearing a shirt on top of another shirt and he’s standing there as if WE are the ones who are mad?????

    Its not even as if being in France excuses it. Not even the French would try that, and they’d try most things.

  • Thomas Haverstock says:

    C G is the greates Yorkshire man living on this planet May he get as much money out off that bunch off dum bas!!! As he can Keep up the good work Charles Hail Hail JMJ

  • Sean E Voy says:

    To quote Mr Green :-

    See all hear all say nought

    Eat all drink all pay nought

    And if you ever do anything for SEVCO for free make sure there is something in it for yourself!

    Hail ! Hail !

    Celtic first Celtic last Celtic overall

    P.S. how much did Bank of Scotland write – off on Old Co Rangers Debt? Let the guessing begin at above 70 million!

  • Green Lantern says:

    So in the continuing saga of Captain Scarlet and the Sevcotrons, we now have Captain Green resurfacing to claim his rightful inheritance.

    When is Captain Whyte about to reappear?

    It’s difficult to keep up, but worthwhile and also hilarious of course.

    I could not in my wildest dreams have imagined the depths the pointy heads would plumb and the utter humiliation which they have suffered and continue to suffer.

    God really must be a Tim.

  • Sean E Voy says:

    Dear Minty ,

    Can I please have my quid back ?

    Charles is sure he can use it again to buy New New Newco Rangers out of Administration.

    As ever Dave will need his cut but fans money will make us all rich.

    Yours in enlightened self ,

    Aka your obedient servant

    Just when you think when things cannot get any funnier from the bigotdome, out pops Charlie Chuckles with a routine that should win him an Oscar, a Palm D’or, a Perrier Award and even the Masterchef title.

    I love this guy, he’s the only person (Googly Eyes comes a close second though) who makes me belly laugh when I read what he has to say or see him on the box that has eminated from that cesspit.

    By him putting his head above the parapet he is rubber stamping that he and agent Whyte are still pulling the (ham)strings at Ibrokes.

    My auld Granda used to wax lyrical about the comedy genius of Charlie Chaplin, oh how I wish he was alive today to see this character.

    Hail hail
