Looks like another summer of turmoil down Hunbrox way. You can always rely on that for something to chat about when there's **** all else happening.
No answer to one of your pointless questions? How will I ever live down the shame of not refusing to give that which you don't deserve?
Charles Green, he sells the team During Green's reign as Chief Executive, several long-standing members of staff left Bramall Lane; including the club physio, kit man and several backroom staff. This built on rumours questioning who was managing these key team roles; Spackman or Green. Departing players talked of increased director involvement and team unrest as players were being "treated as pawns". Fjortoft was quick to respond to with both anger and an eagerness to expose further “lies” of Green and McDonald. "I am Chief Executive. I take the decisons and I live by them" was Green’s retort to criticism of his operations. Charles Green is a much vilified figure at Bramall Lane. He may have just been a puppet for McDonald; he may have been the ultimate decision maker, guiding the investor. Either way the manner by which he went about his business won him few friends within the club, or with the fans. Now, after a significant absence, Green is back in football with Rangers. The fans should treat his arrival with caution. What his role will be day-to-day remains to be seen. But the last thing Rangers need now is a man who takes risks, a man who panics when the risks don’t pay off and a man who fans doubt they can trust. If you want to know more about Green’s time at United and the various boardroom machinations over 30 years at a football club, I can recommend Fit & Proper:Conflicts & Conscience in an English Football Club. A real eye opening book, whether you are a Blades fan or not. I am indebted to the book for reminding me of the timeline and key events.
