Darthter 542 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Commenting on his resignation, David Somers said "I have resigned as Chairman of Rangers International Football club plc. I have worked in the City of London, the world's greatest financial centre for decades and enjoyed considerable success. When I was approached about the Chairmanship of Rangers, friends warned me that the world of football has different rules and codes of behaviour. I now know that is a gross understatement. I am a non-confrontational man and have always tried to bring harmony to boardrooms and with stakeholders. At the risk of antagonising my army of critics I would point out that Rangers managed to pay its bills and avoid going under during my tenure. These critics might not agree with how we achieved this. I look forward to alternative solutions from whoever is running the club in the future. Despite the personal attacks on me from various sources I genuinely wish the club the very best in the future and I am confident that with such a passionate and vociferous fan base they will be restored to their former glories." Ok....We'll give you that one. However, if that is the best that you have to shout about, it's a VERY sad reflection of your time in charge. Yes, Mr Somers & co, you did prevent the club going under, but the means in which you "achieved" that were arguably not the best - increasing debt, securing relatively small loans against major assets, reducing club revenue streams, driving the fans away from the club they love......yeah, major success there!!! If you were doing such a wonderful job......why did everyone want you out??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,289 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 A very weak man who was the perfect patsy. Just what qualities, talents etc was it that Somers brought for the role of Rangers chairman? He had no football backround AFAIK so what was it? Who appointed him & why? Did they not expect supporters to question this appointment? Somers short-lived & inauspicious reign as Rangers chairman will go down with many unanswered questions which we may never get the answers to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC 150 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it time yet for this?: [ATTACH=CONFIG]545[/ATTACH] No, too early. Lambliar and leecher are still there, Sandy E, onerous contracts are still there, Ashley is still there as are BPH, Margarite - to say nothing of the state of the stadium, the coaching staff and the likes of Simenson and Black. There's years of work ahead even if/when Ashley, Easdale & their like are gone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet there's a lot more to come out about the mess caused by Charles Green, Imran Ahmad et al. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hopefully, Dave King et al are prepared for what they are going to find. I can't imagine it'll make pretty reading 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
