Three Bears call for Barry Leach to be sacked immediately http://bit.ly/1MIN3TE

 

The Three Bears consortium of Douglas Park, George Taylor and George Letham want him axed for gross misconduct.They hit out after it was alleged Leach told the Rangers fans board their consortium had “s***” themselves when they thought their offer of a multi-million pound emergency loan was about to be accepted by the Ibrox board, prior to them going with Mike Ashley’s offer.

The Rangers fans board’s minutes of the meeting allegedly show that Leach asked for this comment to be struck from the record.

The latest controversy comes ahead of the EGM at Ibrox on Friday, March 6, when Dave King is attempting to oust the entire Gers board.

A spokesman for the consortium said: “We read with astonishment the minutes of the meeting between Derek Llambias, Barry Leach and the Rangers fans board.

 

“The insulting language used by Barry Leach towards our group, consisting of three major shareholders, defies belief on so many levels.

“Barry Leach is in no position whatsoever to make any comment on our behaviour since he has not had any contact with Douglas Park or George Taylor, and has only had brief contact with George Letham on one occasion.

“His comments to the fans board fall well below the standard we would expect from a senior employee.

“Barry Leach has engaged in grossly unprofessional conduct by falsely attempting to undermine the reputation of our shareholder group.

“His comments were aimed at damaging the character and stature of that group.

“It is our view that he has brought the club into disrepute as a consequence of his damaging and unprofessional behaviour and as such should become subject to his employer’s disciplinary processes and ultimately be dismissed for gross misconduct.”

Excellent that they have finally replied to Leach.

If this is how they will react to Rangers' detractors it augurs well.

Great statement, why he thought it appropriate to say that to a room full of Rangers fans just show how unprofessional he is.

I now expect Leach to "resign" before the EGM so he can get a full pay-off now that T3B have pretty much told him he is getting sacked for gross misconduct if they win the EGM. Remembering that the EGM will only remove him and LLambias as Directors, their employment contracts as CEO and FD will remain in place.

It also stinks a bit like Green and Ahmed that foolish unprofessional comments give them a way out with a bagful of swag.

I don't pretend to be an expert, but I think they are creating a scenario in which he could be sacked without a payoff.

[Tannochsidebear 2,315]

T3B are using his error to create such a scenario, however I feel his masters will get him his full payoff before the EGM, just like Green & Ahmed got full playoffs when both could have been sacked for gross misconduct quite easily and therefore not get anything.

Surely his length of service would come into cosideration if we sacked him and there was a court case?
