Despite the excitement of the …ahem…glamour friendly in Leipzig, there are other matters on the minds of the Sevco High Command at the moment.
I was informed yesterday by an impeccable source that there is now a peace faction on the board.
They are frantically trying to reach out to General Ashley.
My understanding is that one day earlier this week no less than five calls were made in an attempt to contact Big Mike’s people.
I think it is fair to conclude that the peace faction in the Blue Room is not looking forward to the court case in March.
That is when the Sports Direct legal battalions will go over the top.
Personally, I think it entirely sensible that these Blue Room chaps are manifesting the Dunkirk Spirit on this one.
Of course, everyone in the Sevco High Command would love it if the Red Bull chaps came on board.
No doubt they will be stating their case very strongly this weekend in Germany.
The Sevco High Command could certainly use such a game changing smile from Frau Luck.
In fact, the last time that representatives of The People sought this much help in Germany it ended up with the Larne gun-running.
It is fair to say that the chaps within the peace faction are not loyal to their King…
Even General Ashley eased up on the Sevco High Command it wouldn’t solve their overall cash crisis.
Therefore, more outside investment would be a real boon.
It is worth pointing out that the Red Bull folk are not negligent when it comes to the Due Diligence stuff.
If they’re interested at present, and there isn’t any evidence that they are, then it is because they are not in full possession of all the relevant facts.
This is also the case with the putative Kennedy/ Souness consortium.
It is entirely possible that the picture painted for them by an immaculately coiffed plenipotentiary was light on detail.
Put simply, if any potential investor knew the scale of the problems at Sevco, then they would disappear over the horizon quicker that Monsieur Barton on a Red Bull.

Red bull will not be going anywhere near Scotland never mind ibrox, Mike Ashley is going to court and then back to rolling in his agreed contract for the next 9/10 years, why would Red bull want into that?
Why would anyone consider putting their brand to this Toxic Club it would be madness.I know you can make easy money dealing with the Guilibillies but the loss to your own product would not be worth it .No stay away from the shame of Scotland
If Red Bull did take control and changed the name of the crumble dome to the Red Bull stadium, bought them nice new Red Bull coloured strips, changed the team name to Red Bull Rovers then surely even the biggest bigoted thicko’s among the hun hordes of which there are many, would finally have to be truthful and come out of denial and admit that the old rangers died, but then again when did truth even mean anything to people who still live in the year 1690.
Chapeau for that closing sentence. Couldn’t help but smile
TotalBull is definitely emanating from the Scottish media. How the feck they can have the brass neck to claim they’re sports journalists is beyond me. I wonder what Turkish Delight the sycophants will run out this week after the huns European experience?
Red Bull could save themselves some time by starting at Forbes magazine, SportsMoney, by Jon L. Pritchett:
“What Can We Learn From the Financial Meltdown of Glasgow Rangers FC?”
Becasue precious little has changed in a positive direction since it was written.

Phil there was no “Dunkirk spirit”, just the wholesale slaughter of the working class hordes on behalf of the elite!!
Isn’t every war based on the same thing, no matter how they dress it up, HST?
The Georgia Guidestones, and history itself, tells us all we need to know about their ongoing agenda on population control.
Breaking News,
Red Bull and Japanese car maker have bought sevco.
Asda is to buy ibrokes, the club relocated to a new ground near the Shankhill Road in Belfast and renamed Red Honda Ulster.
Brilliant!
Christ, Zombies with wings!!!
Red bull gives you wings and that roof needs more than wings ..as a brand a think it would damage the red bull brand being involved with a crook like king or a brand like The Rangers …,Red Bull will fly in the opposite direction of Ipox Even they know Glasgows Green And White
Considering what TRIFC have put Ashley through from previous legal challenges and the ensuing negative press coverage provided by the MSSM myrmidons. I believe most fans of the other Scottish football teams would prefer to see SD take this to court rather than negotiate. However, the longer Ashley leaves it, the more concessions he can get out of TRIFC rather than going to court which might be his preferred option.
Surely any takeover would fall foul of the sfa’s duel ownership rules as of Ashley fame or will they just make up another one.
I’m sure once the RB reps witness 8000 of the peepul leaving presents with the locals and singing their seasonal songs of love, that will seal the deal.
Even if Red Bull take control of Sevco the people will not be happy. Red Bull have previous when taking over a club.They change the name of the team,change the strips and rename the stadium. They reject any claims to being the same club, and make it clear they are a new club with no history.
I wonder how the people will react to that scenario?
As I stated in the piece, the due diligence by the Red Bull people is impressive.
They will want to know EVERY detail of the business.
