I understand that the Friday meeting of the Sevco High Command was rather tense.
They still haven’t had any word from their esteemed chairman who is ensconced south of the Limpopo.
Moreover, the two King loyalists on the board were physically absent from the conclave and I’m told that they didn’t dial in.
The absence of Mr King puts the chaps in the Blue Room in a difficult position.
Without him, they have no business plan.
With him, the Ibrox brand becomes even more toxic than it is at the moment.
One of the Sevco High Command, who had dialled into the meeting, stated to the others that he didn’t have wealth to be constantly bailing out the Holding Company vehicle.
At this stage, the Sevco High Command are reduced to speculating on King’s next move.
One possible scenario that was discussed on Friday was the possibility that the chairman might offer his shares to the fans.
If that were to happen, it could occur when Mr King attends the dignified conclave of Sevco supporters in North America.
I’m told that the Serious Professional had lunch with a magnificently maned factotum last week.
The reason for the sit down was to try and discern what King’s next move might be.
Sadly, the immaculately coiffed chap had to disclose that he was now well out of that dignified loop.
Consequently, he couldn’t be of any help to the Serious Professional.
On Friday the Sevco High Command also discussed the possibility of another attempt at a ‘Resolution 11’ type move at the next AGM of RIFC.
However, the consensus was that they might not get enough votes to pass as it failed the last time.
One of the issues is that Dave likes things to be his idea.
However, if he doesn’t get in touch then that does rather prevent any new strategies emerging from the Blue Room.
If I didn’t know any better, I would think that this was a rudderless ship heading for the rocks.
However, I have read the output of award-winning stenographers, and therefore I am assured that everything at Ibrox is ticketyboo.
After all, those guys have access to high-Level information that I don’t.
These shadowy sources are ones that tell the sports desk chaps about mystery billionaires.
What I can tell you is that Sevco is a loss making business without a credit line from a bank.
If you hold onto that fact, then you can clearly see why that meeting on Friday was so tense.
Now I’m off down the Word Mines till the middle of the week.
There is the small matter of a manuscript (now 133,000 words long) that needs my focused attention.
Madam Editor in West Cork is becoming very demanding and proper order too…
In the meantime, dear reader beware of breathless off the radar exclusives that reveal a bright new future at Ibrox.
When I get back to this sad story, Sevco will still be up Excrement Creek without any viable means of propulsion.
I can’t be the only person who has told you that ‘word mines’ is both pretentious and risible.
Seriously, just say you have something else on.
There is no compulsion on you to visit here and read the content.
I am sure that King has several convictions from courts in South Africa. Maybe more than several. And maybe some quite serious convictions of tax evasion.
It is quite difficult to get a visa these days for the good old US of A with a criminal conviction of even the most minor misdemeanours.
My flabber waits to be gasted, but I do not expect Davy to make an appearance in the USA anytime soon.
So no development team for next season not because of money Phil but because there will be friendlies around Europe against the elite ! How’s that safety certificate doing is it due an upgrade ? Any information on those nets or connectors and the amount of escudo that will be needed , pedro will be on his bike I predict not long into the season after he brings in his own players ( no laughing at the back ) .
This is scope = Old Firm media.
No thanks. There is no Old Firm.
Does this is scope call Sevco a new club?
Does this is scope call for cheated titles stripping?
No? Then go take a jump.
Down periscope!
Six Questions :-
1. Where is the Money Mr King
2. Where is the NOMAD
3. Has The Magician and David weir been compensated yet or will it go to ANOTHER Court Case.
4. When will you set up a Scouting Network
5. Why don’t you attend matches even when your in Glasgow
6. First asked by Bummer Broon – Who’s NAME is oan ra Deeds.
Near certainty today that Rangers will extend the ST deadline……because of demand!
Yep, the 30 something Greek Ace being released by Hearts looks like Pedro’s first signing.
Bruno Alves and the centre half from Quatar would require transfer fees to be paid which of course is a big no no.
It appears that Pedro was so desperate to come back to Europe that he snatched at the Rangers job knowing there was no warchest and that he would be operating on a one out, one in basis.
So a guy, sorry Ace, being released from a short term contract is the start of the Pedro revolution. Stand by for a blizzard of Aces being reported in the media.
Senderos, Hill, Toral and Hyndman will all be off the payroll, so after the Greek Ace Pedro can bring in another 3 Bosman Galacticos to make up the numbers.
Perhaps some of those Rangers fans that have renewed their ST’s might feel a little cheated if the former Greek internationalist Bosman is indicative of the market place that Pedro is shopping in.
Actually there are several others on short term contracts with Hearts who will also be available shortly………Where’s Billy King when you need him ?
The media will do as they are bid and Pedro’s transfer activity will be talked up to the high heavens.
Not sure what trumps an Ace but I’m sure Level 5 will come up with something appropriate!
A tube. A tube trumps an Ace. But only in Sevcoland.
Shirley in that creek they can rely on wind….???….or maybe they don’t do green energy…!!!
Sorry Phil but I’m struggling to get my head round your witty prose on the last line. Does that translate to the Huns are up shit creek wae nae paddle ? Love it.
Hi Phil
The best thing you can do is to concentrate on your creative “word mines” activity.
All the rest will fall into place, in time.
You will have played a great part in ensuring that the truth be told.
Madame editor is right … do what gives you real pleasure !
Phil, Sevco is a loss making business without a credit line from a bank. You have informed all of this over a prolonged period irregardless of many unfounded castigations toward your good self. Any creditable business cannot function in this manner. Perhaps this may hit home sometime……this has never been more appropriate !
Hi Phil,
Just want to applaud you’re blogs, I’m not given to posting, but, my parents were from Dunegal, and as kids, we were sent over to “Mothers – our gran’s” house near burton port. Happy happy times. Totally different culture, keep it up my boy, educate the Klan, Hail Hail, give them a severe scutching!!!
Excellent Phil. I can’t do without my regular fix of stories regarding the liquidated club and the RRM halfwits who invested in them. Their fans must be the ” gulliblest” and thickest ever to populate the planet. “Buy your Real Rangers Magic Beans here.”
Just a wee bit of clarification Phil .Up Excrement Creek wIthout any viable means of propulsion, is that the same as being up Shit Creek without a paddle?
Enjoy the mines. Watch out for the Dopeys. ( 55)
