Leggat - DALGLISH LINED UP TO JOIN GREEN GANG BID FOR RANGERS-Exclusive


Recommended Posts

KENNY DALGLISH is being lined up as part of the Charles Green fronted Green Gang who want to take control of Rangers.

 

I revealed yesterday there is now a growing belief that that there are no MEN OF MYSTERY from Europe, Singapore, India, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia hiding in the shadows and ready to lend their financial muscle to the unexplained and perhaps even inexplicable Green Gang offer for the Ibrox club

 

And that it seemed more like the bid was being fronted by Charles Green on behalf of his boss, Manchester based Michael McDonald and the controversial banned by the FA, Paul Stretford.

 

I also made it clear that I believed another man was in the frame to join the Green Gang, hinting at his identity by saying he is a Scot with a high profile in football who could not be named because he was still in a job.

 

Heâ??s not now, though.

 

So today I can reveal that the man I firmly believe will join the Green Gang to try and snare Rangers is former Celtic star, former Celtic manager and former Celtic director of football, Kenny Dalglish.

 

Dalglish was of course sacked by Liverpool yesterday after his second stint as boss lasted a mere 16 months and saw the Anfield club endure their worst season for decades.

 

The links Dalglish has with Charles Green and with Paul Stretford are there for all to see.

 

Stretford set up and ran the Proactive Agency. Charles Green also worked for Proactive. And Kenny Dalglish owned TWO MILLION shares in Proactive.

 

On top of that, Green gabbed that he would soon show how serious he was and how much expertise he had at his command by unveiling a top football name, a Scot, as being Ibrox-bound if the Green Gangâ??s bid for Rangers is successful.

 

At first it was thought by some that it Graeme Souness was who Green was talking about. I never bought into that. And now Souness has come out in clear and unambiguous terms, saying no, he has not been involved with the Green Gang and no, he would not become involved with the Green Gang.

 

Which means the trail now leads to Kenny Dalglish, whose job as Liverpool manager was hanging by a thread when Green spoke last Sunday. On Wednesday, that thread snapped.

 

Michael McDonald is the main man in all of this. Charles Green is merely the front man. The mouthpiece. But it is the feared Michael McDonald who barks the orders and calls the shots.

 

And he has said that Stretford, once banned from being an agent for 18 months and fined £300,000 by the FA, will move in at Ibrox to assume full responsibility for buying and selling players. That means a seat on the board with unsupervised access to the Ibrox cheque book.

 

Even with a year-long ban on them buying players remaining in force, Rangers can still sell players and any experienced agent can make a killing. Stretford is extremely experienced in making backdoor deals.

 

It is unlikely the Green Gang will be waiting for any financial investment in Rangers from Kenny Dalglish. The more likely role for the former director of football at Celtic, would be for him to move in to the same highly paid job at Ibrox.

 

Michael McDonald will no doubt install himself as executive chairman, again at a hefty salary, with Charles Green in overall day to day control of all Rangers operations as chief executive. Again, with a mind boggling salary.

 

That is the Green Gang. These are the men who want to take control of Rangers. I believe Kenny Dalglish will eventually be to be one of them. These are the men Scottish Football Association chief executive, Stewart Reagan, must investigate.

 

Dalglish, of course, is an open book. Charles Green and Michael McDonald were chief executive and chairman respectively of Sheffield United, therefore the FA in London may be able to assist the Hampden hierarchy.

 

While a perusal of the court records from the blackmail trail at Warrington Crown Court which collapsed when Paul Stretford was judged to have given evidence which misled the court, plus the FAâ??s judgment on the controversial ducker and diver, can assist Regan and the SFA to make their minds up about Stretford.

 

All of the facts, about all of the people, can also assist Rangers supporters make up their minds if these are the sort of men they want to take control of their club.

 

Just as those who work for Rangers will get their opportunity to assess Green when he addresses all of the club's staff today.

 

Some may even be moved to ask him if Kenny Dalglish is set to become a member of the Green Gang which wants to snare Rangers.

 

.......

AND......

 

 

LLOYDS BANK hold their Annual General Shareholders meeting in the Edinburgh Exhibition Centre today.

 

And I understand there could be fireworks over the role they played in the sale of Rangers by David Murray to banned company director, conman and trickster, Craig Whyte.

 

Questions will be asked of the Lloyds board of directors by concerned Lloyds shareholders, who are also Rangers supporters.

 

Hacks should keep an eye on it. And anyone who wants a wee insight into which shareholders will be grilling the Lloyds Board should give me a call.
