It would appear that a member of the Sevco High Command was rather irked my exclusive on 32 Red yesterday.
Apparently, there was meant to be some sort of formal unveiling of this stellar deal.
Of course, it didn’t take long for the stenographers to respond to some high-Level prodding from another galaxy.
They breathlessly told their readers of an “enhanced deal”.
Enhanced deal?
Hardly…
The Engine Room Subsidiary would have to experience a Brendan Rodgers type season to draw down anything significant from their sponsors.
As I wrote yesterday, I think the 32 Red folks have been very fair in their dealings with the Holding Company Vehicle.
Despite the gushing pish in the radar press about big-spending “Rangers”, the straitened circumstances of Sevco is the real story.
they are a wee bit like Rocky Balboa in their seemingly inexhaustible ability to stagger back from the brink, I`m rooting for Drago this time round, but experience tells me they`ll get up somehow & the support will carry on their vile routines!
The cost of bringing in all these galacticos has now been covered by the sale of gurner. That is such a great loss to Scottish football, on parallel with Larsson moving to Barca. They’ll be quids in once Warburton relieves them of all the other quality signings he brought in last season.
I see a certain Mr Ronaldo is looking for a move. He and Pedro speak the same language, I believe. Over to you, Mr Traynor.
I think Ashley will rip up the retail deal and negotiate a new one with 75% of each shirt going to sevco.
He knows he will then have 5 million supporters buying the new tops around the world.
If they charge more for sizes above xxl then guaranteed 2-3 million enhanced payments towards the warchest.
Now I’m off to check out the porcine aviators outside my house.
5 million my arse, who’s wrote this Jim Traynor!!
A well placed source close to the action in the Sevco Finance department (they must have one surely) has sent me this text with details of what has been spent so far by Dave King.
” 500 k Alves, the rest are all but done and the fees are Pena £3m, Herrera £1.5m, Cardoso £1.3m, Dorrans £1m. Dalcio will have a loan fee. Looking at + £7M in fees and were not even done yet”.
Okay, when I say a well placed source close to the action, I actually mean a Sevco warmer who goes by the Monika of PRW on the Rangers* Media site, The Bears den.
Thon Gym Trainer is certainly earning his money. Lol
In fairness,
Those quoted fees are fanciful.
However, the salaries being paid to the new guys are real enough.
The unwanted players in the squad will need to be offloaded as a matter of some urgency.
SFA & SPFL defending £1/week contract at Holyrood as probably not breaking minimum wage laws.
And we wonder how Scottish football acheived its laughable, corrupt, shameful, incompetent, bufoon, global joke status.
Doncaster & Regan are a testament to all the failing of the Scottish politcal and social system.
Scotland – time to take a long hard look at the values and standards of your country.
Forget about Independence until you’ve mastered Competence.
Wit are youse on a boot……Microsoft Apple Amazon Budweiser Coca Cola and Farm Foods want their names on the blue jersey.
aye I heard the same NK Bear
The 32Red deal is enhanced, in the same way that breast augmentation is an enhancement. Larger breasts boosts a woman’s self-confidence, but at the end of the day, they are just bigger tits than they once were! 32Red are the surgical procedure – sevco are the tits!!
Nice one Steven! One of the funniest comments on this site for some time.
Ha Ha, brilliant post, Laughing my tits off.
Will they be announcing the sixteen other sponsors for the back of the jersey at a grand a pop … ???
Weren’t “big spending rangers” liquidated, because of their, well, big spending !!!
Little spending Sevco are a different entity, with no credit line from anyone with half a brain
Technically if the dealis taken as a continuation of the existing arrangement with an extended end date, it could be said to be enhanced as it brings more money in total. It’s not the intergalactic publicity chap’s fault if people misunderstand “enhanced” and assume it means more money per season.
How long before they go down the tubes again Phil?
The sooner the better for all concerned.
“again”?
Sevco are only 5 years old.
So why the hell do you spend your every waking hour thinking of them?
Joe,
Phil spends his “every waking hour” thinking about Sevco?
How on earth do you know that?
Visit the site regularly do you?
Sounds a bit obsessive, if you ask me.
Touchè…an ousted zombie…keep up the good work on Sevco Phil..
Hopefully they’ll go the same way as the previous club that played at The AsbestosDome
