It was a confusing day in the Sevco High Command yesterday.
Firstly, a letter arrived from the Ibrox Three.
The Serious Professional wanted them to remain schtum about this.
His reasoning was to starve the story of oxygen.
This was sound advice from a competent CEO.
Sadly Mr David Cunningham King decided to tell the stenographers about the Admirable Warburton’s sensitive skin condition.
This seriously subverted the nuanced attempts that the Serious Professional had been making to smooth relations between the Sevco High Command and the Ibrox Three.
Then there was the phantom profit.
I’m told that Mr King and a young assistant came up with the brilliant wheeze that the Holding Company Vehicle was in the black.
Actually, it was their faces that should have been red.
Apparently, in this alternative universe, a £2.9m loan is classed as “income”, and this magically became an operating profit of £294,000.
Douglas Fraser of the BBC spotted this nonsense an instant.
Rugger guy was laughing like a drain on the phone at the fact that local journalists would just regurgitate this rubbish.
The Serious Professional was seething at this PR own goal.
I’m told that the first thing he knew about this spin was when he was told by a chap in Campbell Dallas.
In other news, it has been a good week on the litigation front for General Ashley.
His case against the Holding Company Vehicle got past the first hurdle in the High Court in London.
If he wins then the tab for Sevco STARTS at £5m.
No doubt the radar press will present this as a giant windfall for Dave King…

great new site, Phil.
Cool new look. Have a thumbs up mate ?
Interesting !! Watch this space…
Enjoying the new site. Much easier to navigate.
Hi phil, I too have stopped receiving email notifications re your blogs.
Hope this can be remedied many thanks
Seems to be a lot more negative spin being lobbed at our Bhoys over the last few days. More than the norm, is it deflection from the National teams state or something to do with the Fabric.
The 3 Bears will be glad that the “Return to Profit” has finally arrived. They’ll be able to get their money back now? Well, if Dave King can talk shite, then so can I
Hi Phil,
New site looks great and is better in many ways,although,as the angel raphael says he isn’t receiving notification of new blogs,unfortunately,I too have the same issue.I’m sure it is a minor issue that’ll be easily remedied.
I can hardly believe that the radar is printing untruths about his glibness and the goo-goo ship serfco,one can only imagine that it is almost certainly a misprint and it’s all one big misunderstanding.
Thanks for the update.
Hi Phil, I’m not receiving your blogs since the new site was set up and as a result I have been sent to rehab where there are all sorts of people who are still going for 55, whatever that means.
If you could just check that my email is still on your list then I hope the doctors will release me in time for the Celtic to notch up another league win at the mini’s next week.
nano nano the noo
AR, when you comment scroll down, tick notify me of new posts and that will re-subscribe you to Phil’s blog.
Thanks John all sorted.
Thanks to you both; wasn’t receiving posts either. Thought Phil was on beach until I rememebered about the new site and thought I’d better check it out…there was too much hilarity going on for Phil to be sipping the poitin though umbrellas on a Donegal beach. It’s good to be reconnected.
