I’m told that one of those excellent chaps from Campbell Dallas finally got a chance for a dignified sit-down on Wednesday.
The Churchillian conclave was with the Serious Professional and one of his Quintessentially British colleagues.
Moreover, I believe that the fellow from the auditing form was the same superstar who was the main man is this particular professional triumph.
Of course, I’m sure that the Fitba Fourth Estate will be able to spin the term “constitutes professional incompetence” in a way that lays the blame fairly and squarely on the shoulders of Neil Francis Lennon.
I’m told that there was some high-Level guidance for the stenographers attending the Sevco presser yesterday.
They were told about what subjects were off limits.
Amazingly, one of those in attendance decided to try this journalism lark and actually asked a relevant question!
I’m told the look of incredulity on the face of Mr Lee Wallace was down to the fact that it had been stated beforehand that the subject was verboten.
I do not know the identity of the person who asked the forbidden question.
Now, if only there was a grass in the room…
We shouldn’t be too harsh on Mr Wallace if he does not know the meaning of the word “liquidation”, as the vast majority of those working on sports desks in Glasgow clearly don’t either.
Meanwhile, the cash flow issue at the Holding Company Vehicle still requires a major infusion of liquidity before the end of this month.
I was saddened to learn that there was some dignified ire in the Sevco High Command apropos the recent story of mine.
That was the exclusive about a rift among the RIFC directors as to who will stump up this time.
To recap, one of the more reliable Blue Room cheque writers stated that he would put in £1m to meet the most recent shortfall, but not a penny more.
There was no agreement on who will contribute the remainder and my information that the issue had been Parked.
However, it will need to be addressed sooner rather than later.
I do realise that the idea that Sevco has a cash flow crisis is entirely at variance with the fluffy feel-good narrative that is extant in the radar press.
However, that says much more about the stenographers than it does about your humble correspondent dear reader.

Phil … be nice if hyperlinks opened in another window.
keep up the good work!
If the ‘so-called’ journalists had any genuine inquiry about them (or a sense of wit for that matter) they would all regularly ask questions containing the dreaded ‘L’ word at every Sevco Press conference…
There’s another point as well… That lot seem to have a presser every day.. and the slavering media seem all too willing to turn up and comply. They had one on Tuesday (when their upcoming game was not until the Friday) and strangely on the day when Celtic faced the biggest spending club on the planet in the worlds pre-eminent club football competition.
Will there be one today I wonder? To analyse the performance last night against arch-rivals Partick Thistle.. Anyway… another chance midweek in that particular Glasgow Derby!
What can one say in a quintesentially apart from chortle, chortle, chortle and a hearty Guffaw..
I Reckon Pedro’s post match analysis philosophy is, Bullshit beats Brains!
There’s an old saying, commonly attributed to WC Fields, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
Re the “meaning of words” I have thought for some time that if the words “Glasgow Rangers” were removed the issue of an enquiry into having played incorrectly registered players, or had payment systems created and used to simply reduce tax payments, or have been allowed to enter European Competitions against the rules, and were instead substituted with SDM’s first love, ie “Ayr United” or any other Scottish Team would there be any issues regarding justice over the last few years?
83 mins gone…man sent off before sevco equalised…wonder when the penalty will be given.
I remember the song…10 men won the league tea LA LA LA LA….
Sevco version…12 men won 2nd place….
The accounts are due out next month I believe.
With record ST sales and bad boy Ashley banished will Dallas Campbell be reporting the first net trading profit in God knows how long?
That would have Level 5 spinning like a top, truly back where they belong indeed.
Another trading loss will provide confirmation that loans are still required to keep the lights on.
The plan to convert debt for equity is now in tatters, no one even mentions it any more. With the Court Of Session soon to put some legal weight behind the TOP ruling going to the market is a non starter.
Those who have bravely coughed up so far have to be commended as the prospect of repayment is next to nil and for soft loans read donations.
It’s impossible that the providers dont have security over Ibrox and Murray Park to cover their backsides otherwise they are very stupid men.
Unless of course someone else has a claim on them?
All will soon be revealed by the auditors.
Yes they need the money, but as I’m reading today from other SPFL players and Scottish media that Celtic got a taste of they’r own medicine on Tuesday and that they now how it feels to be like the other clubs with less money, agreed we have a financial advantage on the rest, but it’s all legal, if it wasent it would be investigated right?
Own medicine ..liquidation springs to mind.
When administration kicks in again maybe the stenographers might write something interesting
Connor……they cant be “liquidated again”….it would be their first ever liquidation since their birth in 2012….
