I have learned that there was a meeting of the Sevco High Command today.
Apparently, the main item on the agenda was Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha.
The esteemed chairman, Mr David Cunningham King and Mr Alastair James Johnston both dialed into the dignified conclave.
The bad news for the Poundshop Mourinho is that he has to show a “marked improvement” in the next “couple of matches”.
Someone did bring up the issue with Take Over Panel, but that question was expertly deflected from south of the Limpopo.
Those excellent chaps from Campbell Dallas fully expected to take part in this Quintessentially British think in today.
Alas there was a last-minute hitch.
However, I’m sure that the year-end accounts for the Holding Company Vehicle will be sturdily Churchillian.
For the avoidance of doubt, everyone at Sevco is very very happy.

Sevcolona GoinFor55 Pence.Hope Caixinha stays.Him and the Lying King make a Formidable Duo…….And Still,The Comedians keep it coming..HH GGAW
Bad enough the crisis developing around Pedro’s management and choice of players but the financial position must be dire after the unexpected early exit from Europe.
There is no one in the Rangers squad who would get a place on the Celtic bench…talk of Moult, Walker and McLean as saviours is grasping at straws, even if the monies were available to bring them on board.
King has already chased any would be Nomads away, the pending cold shoulder will just exacerbate the situation.
Those who have provided the soft loans must be at the end of their tether. With a share issue now completely out of the question any further monetary contributions can be classified as donations. On the original loans some repayments are scheduled for December. Those who have rallied to the cause are about to have their fingers badly burned.
Any comparison with Celtic on any level is risible and of course the more success generated by Brendan just emphasises the gap.
6 players named in the senior Scotland squad, all will be starters, should have been 7 given McGregor ‘ s performances.
8 Scots started in the game at Killie, plus the average age of the team was the lowest by far in the SPFL.
Not content with trying to sell our best players it’s only a matter of time before the length of Brendan’s tenure is being questioned by the media as the annual managerial
cull begins in the EPL.
Let’s hope, no expect, that all goes well later today plus Olympiakos fail to progress allowing Celtic a Pot 3 slot in the Group stages. The Greeks game will of course be must see viewing for Pedro and his management team!
With Paddy coming home and the young south African on board, another young striker will complete the squad.

Scotland’s journalist of the year (no laughing at the back!) did a piece in the Record yesterday suggesting, as you have, that Pedro has to get it together in the next few matches or he is facing the sack. At first I naively thought that he might be branching out into actual journalism. Then I stopped laughing and figured that either L5 bills weren’t being paid or that he’d been told to prepare the ground for Pedro’s departure. I think you have cleared that ine up for me! Thing is, how the hell do they pay him off?
How long before he gets the dreaded vote of confidence – then we can all dig out our Napoleon Dynamite Vote Pedro t shirts.
King the crackpot who hired a crackpot, Pedro the Bullfighter versus Dave King the Bullshitter …
Keep these guys on, they’re the greatest comedy duo since Laurel & Hardy, (or Cannon & Ball :D) and we don’t even need to see them to know what sort of madcap antics they’re getting up tae behind the scenes.
Perra fuckin rockets, man.
Apparently there was a UEFA delegate at Ibrox today. Were they just there to explain the new rankings?
Probably Gordon Smith telling them everything regarding EBTs and implications has been ‘deflected’ from view of senior UEFA officials…
Phillip can you please keep us updated on the following:
1. The safety of old Ibrox stadium, particularly the roofs.
2. The legal claim on assets by Gary Withey and Associates through ownership of Sevco5088 Ltd.
3. The Dave King requirement to offer for all RIFC PLC shares or cold shoulder.
4. The 2012 wrongful UEFA license by the SFA.
5. The Supreme Court unlawful EBT judgement on RFC. And title stripping legal moves.
6. Any Judicial Reviews concerning RFC and RIFC.
7. Duff and Phelps suing police Scotland.
8. Craig Whyte suing anyone. Probably under advice of Donald Findlay.
9. Doncaster and the SPFL being taken to court.
10. RIFC PLC and TRFC LTD accounts and compliance with UEFA FFP regulations.
11. All confidential meetings at old Ibrox.
12. Sevco loan requirements to see out the season and sources of loans.
13. All news of HMRC moves against Rangers EBT tax crooks.
14. All news on the disreputable SDM and his £6m payback to HMRC.
15. News on the LNS miscarriage of justice.
16. BDO finally liquidating Rangers FC founded 1873. And final debt.
17. The illegal activities of the sectarian cultured Sevco fan base.
18. Expose the SMSM biased loyalty to the club formerly known as Rangers.
19. All other Sevco business.
On second thoughts, you do all that anyway. ?
Maybe Senor Carlos could pass the phone to Pedro if Joey does give him a call.
Could we mibbe crowdfund a “Save the Pedro campaign?” The man’s opening shows at the Edinburgh International Bullshit Festival are selling out.
Surely they canny sack him before the “Best of Pedro” DVD hits the shelves Pre Christmas?
I could not believe the Kenny Miller lingering in front of empty goal for the defensive tackle on Saturday.
Miller refuses to score for Pedro.
Sack Miller keep Pedro. That backs the manager.
I don’t know why, but every time I read the name Pedro Caixinha for some reason I am reminded of Claude Anelka’s brief tenure at Raith Rovers. Though Claude did invest his own money in the Rovers and when he resigned, to his credit, he left the balance of his investment for youth development.
Three games and there’s an emergency international board meeting to discuss the manager.
Panic merchants. Blame game veterans. Amateur executives. No nerve. Knee jerk reactions.
Phil can you tell us if you know if Pedro new recruits are all on 52 weeks contracts ?.
As I can say Templeton, Law , Shields and a few more settled out of court, when King broke their contracts and acted like a tyrant and cut their contracts to 48 weeks. I think some of the pre Pedro players are working on 48 week contracts. Can you throw any light on this Phil.
The new chicos are all on 52-week deals.
Aw naw!! Looks like we’re going to be left with only Crazy Lunatic Utterly Bitter 1872 and a certain Level, with the odd idiotic contribution from BFDJ for comedy gold now.
It has to be said that Pedro has, in a very short space of time, achieved that poisonous status for a manager whereby all their opponents and all opposition fans want him to stay. Sadly, there is no way back for a manager in this position.
I’ll miss his complete nonsense and attempts to sound like a revolutionary managerial messiah.
Perhaps we could petition the SFA and demand they protect this man’s job.
Whenever I see Pedro Miguel Faria on the air waves, I’m always expecting him to break protocol and state:
“We don’t need no stinking points!!!”
or
“We don’t need no stinking goals!!!”
… but no, “WATP” is the safer option…
If one man knows it’ll be you ……. why have lite covered u the “iconic” glass staircase with banners????? Can’t just be to save giving it a regular clean as is mooted on forums????
Structurally unsound? Glass brick construction regulations? Maximum height of load bearing old glass walls?
It’s disguising the glass curved walls for some reason.
For sure but simply covering up would’nt get round regulations ???? It’s odd…. another suggestion is to stop leaks ???? Whatever it is it’ll be intresting to know!!
Leaks would be effecting structural integrity.
On their forums it has been stated when it rains the windows leak onto the stairs causing them to become slippery …
did I hear right? Paddy is back?
When Senor Pedro’s tenure at the WilliamDome is over he’ll be cringing at many of the things he said especially the WATP nonsense and having the best squad etc If they lose anymore games going into the first Celtic v Sevco game this season methinks he’ll get a verbal kick in the cajones and set packing. Who’ll be next to fail against Brendan Rodgers?
32red away shirt … is red lolz, and basically an Aberdeen top.
fans are revolting, literally. “losing their shirts?” – lets have competition to name next article?
But but but (if I may…) Pedro has a plan… https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2017/08/18/pedro-factors-poor-management-into-training/
Failing that, we need to back him all the way with a song…

As they say in the Gaelic Pedro is Donald Ducked and Kerry Packered .
