David Somers believes that Brian Stockbridge has single handedly saved Sevco!
In a long winded rambling rant on the Sevco website Surrey based banker Somers rushed to the defence of Stockbridge who has emerged as the chief hate figure for some of the many fan groups.
Despite overseeing a disastrous £14m first year loss the Finance Director picked up a £300,000 bonus for winning the Third Division championship to double his salary.
According to Somers the fans should be grateful for Stockbridge’s role in saving the club from disaster under the chairmanship of Malky golden chinos Murray.
“Without Brian, the club would in my opinion have been de-listed months ago and the club should owe him a debt of gratitude for holding things together,” chairman Somers claimed.
“Going forward, his new CEO Graham Wallace needs time to evaluate the whole structure within the business and the people within it. This will be true for Brian as for everyone else. I read wild accusations that I may not be independent.
“Let me say categorically, until I joined the board a mere four weeks ago yesterday, I had never heard of Charles Green, Imran Ahmad, Craig Whyte or any other characters in Rangers’ history.
“To my knowledge, I have never met them, nor had business dealings with them. Nor would I recognise them if I passed them on a street.
“I have now read over two years of board minutes and they make very depressing reading in terms of their lack of professionalism and worse. The minutes make it clear in my mind the boards of recent years have been totally unfit to run this club.”
Turning his anger to the Murray’s led rebels Somers added: “The mystery to me is why people should now be considering that members of these boards, which presided over the problems we face today, should be considered for re-election.
“I encourage shareholders to vote against the four requisitioners. Firstly, because some were members or chairman of boards which failed this club in the past. Secondly, we need a board selected from the best available people.
“Not just from fanatics who put their own personal interest ahead of the greater good of the club.”

Is that his real face?
