John Brown last night launched a blistering verbal attack on Charles Green

â?? and fears his old club are heading for oblivion.

 

Brown is alarmed to see Green back at Ibrox in a consultancy role after stepping down as chief executive earlier this year and predicts his old club are again on the road to disaster.

 

Brown, who led an attempted buy-out of the club from Green in the summer of 2012, opened his heart about the crisis-hit club he loves. Former fansâ?? favourite Brown reckons theyâ??re doomed, branded Green a clown, called for Rangers fans to rally and save their club and insisted heâ??d have Green â??by the throatâ? if heâ??d threatened him like he did Ally McCoist to win more than just the league title this season.

 

Brown said: â??I wish Ally and Walter Smith all the best. But it doesnâ??t make me feel any happier at whatâ??s gone on.

 

â??Itâ??s a ticking time-bomb. Just find out whose name is on the title deeds?â?

 

â??Thereâ??s in-fighting in the boardroom. Behind it all, people have to find out who is pulling the strings? Rangers are leaking money for fun and it can only go on for so long.

 

â??My biggest fear is that Rangers will go back into administration because of whatâ??s going on.

 

â??Charles Green was never away. He might have had an extended holiday but he was never away because the people who are running Rangers are putting him up front.

 

â??Rangers will suffer and they will continue to suffer until they sort it all out. Itâ??s a nightmare scenario but weâ??ll just have to wait and see what happens.â?

 

Brown, now the manager of Dundee, insists the Glasgow club are a sinking ship unless their followers stand up and make their presence felt by taking things into their own hands.

 

He added: â??For the sake of Scottish football, Rangers need to survive. But there are too many people who are taking and taking, rather than giving.

 

â??Rangers fans give and Dundee fans give so they can give to their football club.

 

â??But there are too many takers at boardroom level at Ibrox, including investors. Sooner rather than later there will be no money left. Bang, they will be out of business. Rangers will go down unless the fans stand up and say enough is enough. Thatâ??s the only way.â?

 

Brown believes Green is simply trying to throw the onus on former Rangers team-mate
McCoist, whose side crashed out of the League Cup away to part-time Forfar at the weekend, to take the blame away from himself after telling the Ibrox gaffer that heâ??d need to win a cup in addition to lifting the title this season.

 

He said: â??Greenâ??s comments were a disgrace. If my own directors had said that about me, I would have taken every one of them by the throat. You can have that in a private room but not in public. I told Coisty when we played them in a friendly last Wednesday that it would be a tough game up at Forfar. He had eight guys who played against us who werenâ??t eligible for Forfar, so the eight coming in were eight guys who knew they wouldnâ??t be good enough to start under normal circumstances.

 

â??So I donâ??t think you are going to get the same commitment. What Green is doing is covering up what is going on in the background, and throwing it onto the manager. He suddenly comes back after 30,000 plus season-ticket sales. Green is a clown and always has been.

 

Brown admits he worries for McCoist and claims the club he starred for between 1988 and 1997 are losing money hand over fist. He said: â??Coisty is Rangers through and through. He is a nine-in-a-row hero. He was a big player through that era and will want to do his best for the football club.

 

â??But during the last two years, he has been dealing with not the nicest of people, from Craig Whyte to Charles Green.

 

â??Walter always had a David Murray type of character, someone who you could have a good bond with. A lot of success came through that. But Ally wouldnâ??t know where to turn because before a ball was kicked Green was touting to get Ally the sack. Thatâ??s the way he has always worked.

 

â??People whoâ??ve been at Rangers in the past must be turning in their graves at whatâ??s going on at that club.

 

â??Itâ??s inevitable that Rangers are going only one way. If the money runs out, you canâ??t the bills and thatâ??s that.

 

â??If I were in McCoistâ??s shoes, I would just be worrying every night about whatâ??s happening to his job. Green has come out with that statement and just thrown everything onto McCoist.

 

â??But the biggest issue here is that the club might go out of existence and that is through his (Greenâ??s) stewardship.

 

â??Ally McCoist will win that division by 20-plus points with all his players available. I would put my house on that. Thatâ??s his job, not to win cups.â?

 

â??A number of new players come in and it takes time for things to gel which I know from my time at Ibrox.

 

â??When I went from Dundee to Rangers, it took me six months to settle in because of the size of the club and the expectations that go with it.â?

bomber was right all along.

We might end up back in admin but only because Ally needed so much money spent on his team to compete with part time managers and teams. Shall we just shout sack the board because they backed our manager?

 

Anyway, did Bomber actually mention the deeds again?

Your posts are really becoming quite tedious!,stop spoiling threads with your Ally bashing,there is no need for it.

Then argue against it instead of throwing childish insults. Why has Ally had to carry a squad costing us at least £7m per annum to win a league which was won before a ball was kicked? Twice. Why was he not given a budget in line with the league we were in?

Apologies Ian, i didn't mean to come across like that. How else could we be heading for admin if it's nothing to do with the huge wage bill?

I'm not arguing about Ally with you here. As Ian rightly suggests, please stop polluting every thread with Ally bashing and try to stay on topic.

To be fair I didn't see this as Ally bashing, I saw it as the point that I think SC meant - Ally got a budget and has spent this summer - so if there is danger of admin again then why spend?

 

Its an emotional time again to be a Bear so there will be reactions from all angles. I personally think John Brown needs to keep quiet....I don't understand how its ok for one side of the fence to be so vocal but not the other.
