Evidence of Somers’ frantic attempt to keep the process alive in the face of opposition from other directors is revealed in an email from the chairman and copied to Sandy Easdale, chairman of Rangers’ football board, and his brother James, a member of the plc board. In it, Somers admits that he and James Easdale were in a minority on the Rangers plc board over the question of Ashley’s designs on the club" -------------------------------------------------- This isn't just about Somers though, it goes deeper.

andy steel 0 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's possible to be too paranoid, but the convenience of the leak - added to the lack of confidence in Somers at the AGM - makes me mighty suspicious as to where this leak has come from. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much see what you are getting at but the e-mail involves more than just Somers. Nor do I think this would be a route of his choice. Noising up shareholders at the AGM, yes.

andy steel 0 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Aye, fingers crossed it is a conduit via which legally embarrassing material from the board can be publicly distributed. At the very least it could be one way of fighting back, which I couldn't see even yesterday. Fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little General 80 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Here's the thing....Craig, for all his excellent work, is no tech genius able to hack servers or email accounts. Initially I had the same feelings but Criag's not daft and would have vetted the info and source. it was suggested on FF that It might had been Nash. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
