And blocked any dissenting voices so he could live in his wee echo chamber.That scumbag McMurdo has crawled out from under his rock and is writing articles on us again. It should never be forgotten that he sided with every scumbag to walk through our doors and wrote fluff pieces calling for us to support the board. Prick.
Somers ,was just a puppet, everyone new who's hand was up his arse working him. He was told by the people who put him into the position, exactly what was expected of him. As I director of Rangers, he by law was supposed to look after the best interests of Rangers. It's plain to see who's interests were being looked after, and it certainly wasn't Rangers.Who is this addressing? I forget. Somers change of heart was done at who's request?
Also, the loan made against the stadium and training facility was not made after all? Sounds like it was before the AGM. Or did we just pay it off so it was a moot point?
The turning point for Laxey was the spivs sacking Norman Crighton from the board in December 2014.We should use the date to commemorate the club being saved from the depredations of the splvs.
Dave King and the 3 bears saved the club from an eternity of servitude.
The key point at this time was the acquisition of the Laxey shares.
Why did this hedge fund develop a conscience? Did they realise they were going tobe stiffed like everyone else, or was the decision for other than financial reasons?
They could easily have named their price and sold to the fat man.
Rangers escaped his clutches by the narrowest of margins.
That, along probably the written confirmation that Dave King had full control of the club and the spivs were gone, should be framed on the wall in the trophy room and have place in the forth coming museum.
What actually happened there then?I felt the turning point was at the AGM when Somers treated the shareholders like dirt on his shoe. I believe that really angered neutral shareholders who realised what we were up against and bailed.
On the day dave King 3 bears won was the happy day I thought we would not get our club back to say we grateful us a understatement when we get 55 on last day of season dave King 3 bears should be on the pitch without these guys there would be no 55 we as fans been unbelievable for the last 9 years when 55 comes i will have lot tears be so prouddon't think they drew it down Sasa, they announced that SD were providing another £5m and taking security over the Stadium and The Academy. DK PM and JG called the EGM later that day, it was the Friday we played Hearts and the game was abandoned.
There was a massive protest outside after the match.
We also must never underestimate the financial support of Douglas Park, George Letham, George Taylor and John Bennett that continues to this day.
Dave King fronted up against a heavyweight cabal who were systematically destroying our club and winning the EGM was step one. Getting control of the Board swiftly was step two.
Winning 55 will mean so much to these guys, every bit as much as all of us who have bought ST and supported the club throughout the last 9 years.
They answered the call.
Read Kevin Keegans book. Llambias is central to Ashley's M.O.Llambias and Somers - as slimy a pair of bastards as ever crawled out from a boardroom.
To paraphrase , he said "when you're chairman of Rangers you can do what you want, until then I'll do what I want".What actually happened there then?
Hence the reason Keith Jackson hates him so much.In years to come Dave King will be remembered as one of the most important men in the history of our great club
Spot onHence the reason Keith Jackson hates him so much.
Who are the (ahem) gentlemen who are being referred to?
Yes one of them tried to force the manager to sign it over to him iirc.My memory and timeline could be muddled up, but was it not at this time that one of the spivs tried to get his hands on the youth development money?
Rubbish.Juventus sort of did it too, even though it was just the one division & they won serieA unbeaten 4yrs later
Yeah, I remember that. I'm just wondering who that communication was sent to in the original post. Must have been someone on the board.Somers ,was just a puppet, everyone new who's hand was up his arse working him. He was told by the people who put him into the position, exactly what was expected of him. As I director of Rangers, he by law was supposed to look after the best interests of Rangers.

It happened on the morning of the EGM. Colin Stewart tweeted about it that night and he flat out refused to hand the money over.My memory and timeline could be muddled up, but was it not at this time that one of the spivs tried to get his hands on the youth development money?
That's right, good on Colin StewartIt happened on the morning of the EGM. Colin Stewart tweeted about it that night and he flat out refused to hand the money over.
