Guest Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Were there not rumors of it being someone from Rangers posting under that name and InTheKnow forweeks prior to any articles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,389 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Couldn't the answer be that Chris got the information from inside Ibrox, maybe someone had a look at his PC when it was on a network?I don't believe there was anything underhand going on within RM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertent 2,081 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 CRO is really just FF lite without the need to delete posts it doesnt agree with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haudthebus 49 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Chris is quite correct to not name his sourceThat being said I thought the story was poor in the extreme and as a fan of TRS i was concerned by it and its motives.The whole thing regarding the 'mole' has IMO got rather out of hand.We (The Club) have used 'leaks' in the past when it fitted our agenda.This time it didnt and TRS only poured petrol on the fire.So that aspertions get cast in this direction, if he hasn't got the strength of his convictions he should haud his wheesht, instead he had this board having to issue a statement, what's that saying again about class.

gogzy 31,195 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Anyone who thinks the leaks will stop now ahmed is gone is a complete mentalist.The leak has been around way way longer than ahmed.The fact that anyone even got a hold of this "story" is proof of that. Ahmed is hardly gonna leak info detrimental to himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiconicman 3,124 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The main issue I have is that we are being used in an internal boardroom power struggle. "Leaks" only serve an agenda otherwise they would be press releases. Who's agenda are we serving is the question but one we're not allowed to know. The conduct of board has been utterly contemptible lately and I am one seriously disgruntled, angry shareholder and season ticket holder.The night of the long knives needs to stop. The board needs to be honest and the investors need to put their cards on the table. I'm not happy with the treatment of Green and Ahmad, so if the board have taken advantage of a poor situation then I want the outcome of the independent commission VERY quickly.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It all seems a little bit of 'Father Knows Best' with some of our bloggers right now, as if we should just shut up and bow to their superior knowledge. I think our guys at TRS and CRO ect do some good work but they get sidetracked by internal agendas at times and they are much better fighting to show the truth about Scottish Football than getting involved in various plots and subplots about Boardroom matters.

Acemcl 3 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've read many of Chris' articles along with others and I take them at value, taking on board the points I think make sense and rejecting those that don't.I think the TRS is a superb website, along with CRO and those fans who write their own blogs but you have to remember they are just that ... blogs (no offence meant by this but it's true).I do agree with their stance that you cannot reveal a "source", especially if you want that source to provide you with further stories.A blogger doesn't have to suffer the same level of veractity when it comes tho their story that the press do, if the press print something wrong that defames a person there is all sorts of legal issues that they face where that is unlikely to happen when writing a blog, although it can still happen.Many times, these very same guys have defended the club against it's detractors in a way that the club itself is unabel to do, these guys are happy to go up against those, from other bloggers or proper journo's, who would publish stories that contain half-truths, blatant lies or just articles written from a particular point of view.
