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.

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?
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”
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.
“alternative jubiliation” – brilliant.
Would Dunning and Kruger be a better central defensive pairing than Hill and Kiernan – discuss.
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?”
What can’t we have objective reportage in the SMSM Ike this?

I’ve read the academic paper, and Dunning-Kruger is one of the few such items not to put one instantly to sleep.
Very apt with the Dunning-Kruger feference, Phil. Stil laughing now. With regard’s to your Degree………”Know your place, Timmy !”.
OHA, I had never heard of the Dunning Kruger effect so had to look it up.
Phil, you have described it for years as THE FLEG EFFECT…. That will do for this Fenian. 😉
ps.Dunning Kruger is the perfect description of their mass delusional outlook,Bravo.☮️
I think you are presently at your PC,I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.HH
Four in one day,great stuff,keep up the excellent,REAL journalistic work.
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.
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.
First rule of Dunning Kruger club, you don’t know you’re in Dunning Kruger club!
Dunning-Kruger effect, I doff my cap to you Phil, DCK is a McArthur Wheeler character right enough.
Googled the Dunning – Kruger effect, very apt.
This is what happens when Fenians get psychology degrees…
