Rangers Chief Executive Green apologises for his comments

[dave.woodhall]

And the horse you rode in on, Mr Green.

Whoever is penning our statements in response to the knockers is deserving of the highest praise.  First Sullivan and now Green.  So, come on, whose next?

[Mister E]

Excellent statement; understated but cutting with it. Marvellous.

So, come on, whose next?

Perhaps a statement released near the end of the season (when it is clear we won't be relegated) calling on the BBC to sack Mr Savage because he is a sheep-shagging bastard who knows nothing about football?

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."

Very good from our press guy. He's even managed to avoid having a dig at totally blameless Celtic. I wish he'd sign up on here.
