I think it is fair to say that the past week has been by far the most challenging for Mr David Cunningham King since the Off Licence Putsch two years ago.
My information is that he has been seeking the assistance of a member of the Sevco High Command to put up the money for a takeover bid.
Quite simply Mr King wants this chap to put up the money for a takeover bid.
However, I think that the South African-based entrepreneur will find that he has missed that bus.
I’m sure that it will all be sorted out in a Quintessentially British fashion.
Just, Perfect and Regular.
The last week should have been a good one in PR terms for the Sevco High Command.
Instead, the Takeover Panel decision was game-changer.
Only the financially illiterate or those drunk on dignity will fail to see that.
Anyone I have spoken to within the Square Mile has told me that the Mr King’s position as RIFC chairman is utterly untenable.
They told me that if the “cold shouldering” sanction was applied then it would be difficult even for a bank to offer Sevco any basic facilities.
Of course, don’t expect to read anything like that in the Off The Radar media.
All things have their season, and that includes season tickets.
Renewal time isn’t that far away, and The People could probably do with another dose of dignity.
Therefore, I would not be surprised if Mr Barry Ferguson EBT was anointed as Poor Pedro’s éminence grise at the Engine Room Subsidiary.
It is financially vital that The People think that everything is going to be ok.
It isn’t.
Moreover, I am sure that Mr David Cunningham King would love to know the identity of the member of the Sevco High Command who ratted him out to the Takeover Panel guys.
You see dear reader someone cut a deal.
Smart move.
For the avoidance of doubt, I do know who gave Dave up.
However, my task here is not to assist the Sevco High Command.
I rather like the idea of them suspiciously glancing at one another during their dignified conclaves.
It would be a shame to ruin that…

Tonight this site will go offline for several hours.
In the past few weeks, an entirely new site has been built, and I hope you find the Mk2 version better to load and navigate.
My web guy has worked wonders.

Last time I heard “we are the people!” voiced loudly and to a joyous, even rapturous audience was when Ms Sturgeon closed her Party’s Conference in Aberdeen at the weekend…which of her many Special Advisors told her that was a winning phrase?
Amazing new site, Phil….superb new layout by your techie person who knows their stuff.
Do we now have a new class of The Peepul -“The Illiteriti !” ? The All-Seeing_But -Not -Understanding-Eye ?
Oh for a unbiased football association.
Scottish football in particullar the SFA and the SPFL is a laughing stock throughout the football world,and it does’nt look like anyone has the balls (no pun intended) to get it sorted any time soon.
Sorry mate, Scottish football is not a laughing stock in any other footballing country because it is not discussed or cared about in any way. I have lived in several areas of the world other than my Scottish home for the last 20 years, nobody is aware of all the corruption, lies and shenanigans coming out of Govan. In general, some people can tell you that Celtic and Rangers are ‘soccer’ teams but that is as far as it goes.
Why would you think these authorities are in any way the subject of discussion, good or bad, beyond their home country? I would suggest they barely register beyond the border north of Hadrian’s Wall.
Where is shareholder and supporter doyen and keen gardener mr a mccoist. Super ally to the rescue?
“….suspisciously glancing at each other….”….why does the lift scene on one of the Pink Panther films spring to mind, when one of the party (!) in the lift let one go….delete a lift, insert the Blue Room……priceless!
A tune for them from The King… “We can’t go on together, with suspicious minds”… maybe a wee chorus of “Moody Blue” for an encore ?
Perhaps getting the job will help Mr Ferguson pay any bill HMRC decide to issue him with.
His payments of £2.5m via an EBT, with a side letter having been seen will surely generate a pretty penny in tax, interest and penalties.
What do you think, a bit over £1.5m.
I hope you are TUPE-ing over…
So the EBT-wielding, unsuccessful former manager of Clyde could be Sevco’s big season ticket sales pitch. Oh dear…
And as for the share offer, I assume Mr King would prefer to save his own money to help strengthen the squad in the summer?
I am sure the concert party will look out for each other. On which note… [If I may…]

“I rather like the idea of them suspiciously glancing at one another during their dignified conclaves” – I remember the film of that, “The Ladykillers”. How did that end again?
