Out with the old and in with the few

I am told that a representative of an ageing  Sevco first-team stalwart left Argyle House today in a state of alternative jubilation.

One might conclude that the Churchillian professionalism of the Holding Company Vehicle was just too much for this agent.

I would now be surprised if Mr Clinton Scott Hill and Mr Kenneth Miller have a future at the Engine Room Subsidiary next season.

It might be worth remembering that the Admirable Warburton wanted the ex-Celtic striker dealt in for a new deal.

Apparently, Mr David Cunningham King believes that Poor Pedro will be able to unearth players like Moussa Dembélé for Sevco.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parkhead club has a scouting system that has taken a decade to put in place.

However, Mr King seems to think that it can be created with no great trouble and rather quickly.

I’m afraid we have to re-visit our old friend the Dunning–Kruger effect dear reader.

  1. It’s always good to hear the thoughts of your Shirebrook insider, however, is it not the case that Mike Ashley or any other share holder requesting a prospectus is unnecessary as King has been ordered to make the offer anyway and the clock is ticking?

  2. I especially like this description on Wikipedia (yeah, yeah, Wikipedia ?), but it is very apt ?

    “If you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent.… [T]he skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is”

  3. Alternative jubilation? I don’t understand. Laughing on the other side of his face?

    PS I get a lot of laughs out of this comic tragedy. Thanks.

  4. I’m sure potential Dembeles will flock to a club with a suspect future (not to mention history). One where they could experience European football – well maybe if the financial rules allow and possibly just for a qualifying round. And then of course the highly professional way the club is run and the budget for other new players to strengthen the team could all inspire – if true.

    Their best chance is a picture of a world class breakfast and asking “Do you like good fry up son?”

  8. Hi Phil,
    Thanks again for the update.
    My previous comment has been posted under the name ‘angel raphael’ in the Prophet and Loss article.
    I have no clue as to how it happened,teething problems on the new site,perhaps.
    No doubt easily remedied.
    Cassandras Cat has also experienced difficulties with issues that I too have experienced.
    Grateful for the truth all the same.
    Cheers.

  9. I’m sure if you are a shareholder in RIFC PLC, then you would need a prospectus even if you were only inclined to sell one of your shares to King at 20p. There’s nothing to say you have to offload all shares.
