When talk isn’t cheap

The Sevco High Command might have looked on anxiously as Mr David Cunningham king held court in Nevada at the weekend.

I would not be surprised if one of the Blue Room chaps said the something like:

“What has his mouth signed us up for now?”

Just as the Serious Professional was trying to engage in productive discussions with 32 Red there was breathless speculation on social media apropos a new shirt sponsor.

This might be true, but it was certainly news to the people within the Sevco high Command who really should know.

The reality is that the new acquisitions to the playing staff have significantly increased the football budget.

I think it is fair to say that the men who are actually writing the cheques that will keep the lights on next winter are hoping that players will also leave.

For example, I am told that the package that secured the services of Bruno Alves wiped out the savings made by the departure of Hill and Senderos.

However, my information is that the figures being quoted for the new additions to the squad are fanciful.

Of course, it all adds to the feel good vibe among The People.

The takeaway for the Ibrox faithful is that money is available to bring in good players and all is well.

After that they don’t ask any questions.

Exhibit A: Craig Whyte.

Ironically, the Sevco High Command had hoped that the Admirable Warburton would take three or four of the current squad to his new club.

As I had previously reported agent land had recently been circulated with an extensive list of Sevco players who are available to a new home.

The sensible members of the Sevco High Command will be hoping that the squad can be depleted in a way that reduces the wage bill and brings in much needed cash.

If that doesn’t happen then the Blue Room chaps who actually write the cheques will be further in the hole as the dark nights creep in.

  1. Lads, Let them spend , spend, spend on whoever or whatever they have or have not.
    Celtic would need to spend massively to improve on what we already have.
    Brendan will not spend blindly and there is no desperation like we are gleefully witnessing at pound land.

  2. Johnstone back on board, what next SDM, Bain, Walter………full house!

    With Johnstone joining King and Paul Murray, 3 of the board that murdered Rangers 1872 (IL) are back on the job, how reassuring that must be for the fanbase.
    King’s convention declaration of no club debt was met with huge approval from his audience…….the most gullibles of gullibles.
    And so it goes on.
    King and his sidekick will shortly be facing SDI ‘ S legal bods in court.
    If the result goes against them surely the club that they have saved will cough up the required millions to satisfy Big Mike?
    It’s only fair!

  3. Alistair Johnston’s statement on BBC1 Scotland last night was incredible. What an idiotic thing to say.

    Leaving aside the hubris and hyperbole, he didn’t take time to consider that “attempted murder” would have been a more suitable phrase considering the continuation mythology.

    How can someone be charged with murder, if the victim allegedly survived?

    High Sevco farce at its best.

  5. Anyone recall sometime previous to “Magic Hat” when Eck had the elusive ‘Indian Sign” over Martin O’Neill ? Been racking my brain for years over this….???? What is an “Indian Sign?”, anyone……???? No……have perused many journals and have further (Internet) sought clarification. However, after many years of selfless pursuit still am no further advanced. Consequently, any and all assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated, kindest regards, Timmy.

    • To have the Indian Sign on someone or some creature, means to have control and dominance over them.
      Google the phrase, ‘Indian Sign’ saying? Quite a few results show up.

  7. Everything about Sevco is cheap, nasty and classless.

    Particularly loved the incandescent, beelin’ Houston watch Cheesy smile Whyte go by him.

    Rumour that Whyte was humming ‘This is how it feels to be Celtic’ are as yet unconfirmed.

    It is true he visited poundland but didn’t buy anything as he had been burned before.

  10. Reporting Scotland BBC 1 6.30pm Tuesday.

    Alastair Johnston asserts Sir David Murray duped him regarding there being no incentive deals to selling RFC. An assurance letter from SDM was shown on TV.

    Later, SDM issues rebuttal saying the metals business for one penny deal didn’t happen.

  11. The stars are aligning. The twa Murrays and King all back on board. The same crew who ran the last ship on to the rocks. Wonder if they’ll jump before impact this time!! Incidentally, is it purely coincidence that US based Alistair Murray has rejoined the ship when the lying King is out roughly in the vicinity??

  12. No hope of shortening the Financial Fair Play gap then.

    Another season of a club employing players on debt/ loans.

    • They are probably one of the few clubs in world football that have no debt.
      They have no credit facility so its pretty hard to accrue debt.
