http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23767983 Charles Green has agreed to stand down as a consultant at Rangers and sell his shareholding in the club. It follows discussions by conference call with the Rangers board and repeated calls for him to go. The man who led a consortium to buy the club last summer has been under pressure to walk away following infighting at boardroom level. He quit as chief executive in April following allegations about his dealings with former owner Craig Whyte. He also had several high-profile fall outs with manager Ally McCoist. The club announced Green's return in a consultant's capacity on 2 August and the Yorkshireman was quick to alienate McCoist, suggesting the manager was under pressure to deliver a cup as well as the League One trophy. McCoist responded angrily, branding Green "an embarrassment". Green's return also corresponded with Walter Smith resigning as chairman, the former manager referring to a "highly-dysfunctional environment" at board level. On departing, Smith voiced his support for the bid being made by former director Paul Murray and Frank Blin to join the board, while Green openly ridiculed the faction seeking to gain influence at the club. Fans' groups were angered by Green's comments and called for the club to reconsider his appointment. Green's spell as chief executive ended when he resigned with immediate effect, citing the "negative publicity" surrounding an independent investigation, commissioned by the club's board, into allegations of undeclared dealings with Whyte. That investigation consequently found no evidence of Whyte's claims that he was involved in the Green-led acquisition of Rangers' business and assets. Under Green's stewardship, Rangers raised £22.2m via a share offer and began trading on London's Alternative Investments Market (AIM). Club funds have since shrunk to £10m despite more than 30,000 season-ticket sales. Green holds five million shares in Rangers, approximately 6.9% of the total in circulation, while market rules prevent any sale until December.
Chapper, you're ruining this board by your presence for the decent rangers fans. Take the hint and **** off, for good.
For standing down? I think that's what most fans wanted. His return to the club only seemed to cause more unease.
There's plenty of shame can be levelled at Green . None of it involves him getting to **** though . Good riddance . Just too bad his minions are still on the board though .
