Aston Villa are still unhappy with Rangers chief Charles Green.

Green predicted that a European league would inevitably be formed as the 'big teams can't keep subsidising small teams'.

He said last week: "How can Man United's revenues be £320m and Aston Villa, who are completely useless, get £250m?"

Green apologised for his remarks but Villa last night said: "Villa were surprised when Charles Green took a swipe at the club.

"We hope that Green will retreat to his day job and leave the cutting remarks for those standing on stronger footing."
