Crumbs, its getting a bit John Le Carryon with these chaps now isnt it



Former Rugby Football Union chairman Martyn Thomas was the victim of a 'dirty tricks campaign' engineered to force his resignation, according to reports.

Thomas resigned from his post as RFU acting chief executive on November 29, but The Times has established that in the midst of calls for Thomas' resignation - in a year where the RFU has endured publicity for all the wrong reasons - an individual set up a false e-mail account releasing information stating they had a larger backing for him to stand down that actually existed. Market Bosworth RFC originally called for a special general meeting to determine Thomas' fate through e-mail.

....................

The Times reports that the perpetrator has since been unearthed and encouraged to resign but has so far failed to fall on their own sword. And on Monday evening, an RFU spokesman told the newspaper: "Full inquiries were made by the disciplinary officer and a report delivered to the RFU. Council will look into this in due course."

PSW, you've got to wait for The Revue - 'it's behind you...' and 'oh no he didn't', 'oh yes he did' - public entertainment = no1 priority, very festive

Now I know we are all getting our hopes up here because wasnt Rob Andrew asked to resign before but I always thought he was part of the Thomas faction, so i doubt its him thats done this. Mr Squeaky would never be caught with dirty hands surely?
I expect its going to be like the Goblet of Fire where they put out a teaser saying a major charachter would die and then its just some kid. Itll probably turn out to be a janitor who then gets shot on his way to trial.
