It will come as no surprise that the Sevco High Command has been in dignified conclave after the semi-final defeat to Motherwell.
I understand that the esteemed chairman expressed some rather trenchant views on the Poundland Mourinho.
In fairness, Mr King is a man with convictions, 41 of them to be precise.
Anyway, I’m told that he wanted the likeable Portuguese chap removed from his post with immediate effect.
However, the rest of the Sevco High Command apparently pointed out that this would cost a substantial amount of money in compensation.
Of course, removing the Sevco manager would almost certainly also entail the sacking of his backroom staff as well.
That’s normal practice at any football club.
Even one as dysfunctional as Sevco.
The response of the South African based entrepreneur to this fact was to suggest that his Blue Room colleagues should then go and look at ways of funding Pedro’s severance package.
I noted with interest that the way in which Mr King stated this did rather imply that he wouldn’t be involved in raising any of the finance himself.
Ah, there’s that pesky impecuniosity again…
Personally, I hope that Senhor Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha is allowed to stay in post for as long as Sevco survives as the corporate representative of Rangers here on earth.

They could ‘resign’ Pedro et al
I never thought I would ever laugh at a car crash. But I haven’t stopped in seven glorious years of it since the GEF jetted in!!!
Pedro must stay!!
Surely the Glibmeister can rule by decree? Moreover, where was the Mighty Jabba today when Keith Jackson had the temerity to suggest that football’s favourite orphanage-flattener might in some way sully his timeless legacy by being a bit of a twit? If you ask me, things are beginning to not add up! Could there be a rainy-day ahead for the Queen’s 11? I for one will be watching with interest as this unfolds.
So all his talk about drakula ,then he moans about a bat in the mouth
Careful Jumbo…
Humour isn’t always appreciated on here…
But I liked it.
HH
Humour is very much appreciated on here but crap jokes aren’t appreciated anywhere.
I was in the turnstile queue at Love Street in the 1960’s.
It was a very warm day and we were being marshalled by a police lady on a big horse.
As she came down the line I noticed that the horse was producing lots of saliva….
Just then a wag in the queue shouted….
“Haw Officer…Dae ye know that yir horse is foamin’ at the mooth?”
She replied…
“If you’d been between ma legs for 3 hours son…you’d be foamin’ at the mooth as well.”
Have a great day sir.
Humour is very much appreciated, but only when it’s funny Mike
When John Lambie was Manager of Partick Thistle…One of his players went down with a bad head knock.
The Trainer was sent on to assess the injury,and after about a minute he shouted to Mr. Lambie
“Boss…he disnae know who he is…whit dae ah dae?”
Mr. Lambie replied…
“Tell him he’s Pele…and get him back playing.”
You too have a great day Gerry.
The problem with bring in a RRM is they are accustomed to taking plenty of cash out of the entity. There is no dosh left to take unless that is you like getting paid in currency other that the Great British pound.
Vote for Pedro !
haha. fellow Elvis Costello fan I take it? Quality. HH
Why cant he just resign from the job they cant even to afford pay him off where wouid they find the funds to pay him off
Every day brings more hilarity. Pedro hasn’t a clue how to run a football team and this is very evident. The steelmen fairly showed McCalls true colours. The viewer would’ve thought he was sucking lemons while big Sutton let rip with both barrels. This comedy show must be allowed to continue for every other supporter outside the blue bubble of Govania. It was quite obvious to all that this was a chancer of the highest order but if he helps to put them under, then please let him stay. ????????
Re-McCall, remember when he was Motherwell manager they always guaranteed the points for Sevco and the old club. Suddenly he wasn’t their manager and Motherwell beat them 6-1 in the playoffs. Payback to McCall who was Sevco manager.
But back to Pedro, no matter who comes next (I hope he stays) the expectation of the zombies is too much for anybody. Nothing short of an idiot bigoted mad billionaire who shares this crazy sense of entitlement will get them anywhere near Celtic, and sorry he’s not out there. Good feeling eh guys!
I think we pay far too much attention the goings on at the crumbledome.
They should be an irrelavance to us all by now.
We pay little or no attention at all too the other middling clubs in Scotland and yet we constantly make reference to that mob.
I do realise it’s difficult not too stare at the car crash that is sevco but for me the only way too have them vanish from our collective consciousness is too starve them of propaganda, both negative and positive at every turn.
So the head honcho wants Pedro and his backroom boys bagged, but Dave the bull-shitting lying King will not fund the severance packages. My, my, what an example of a fit and proper crook embarassing Rangers, Glasgow and Scotland, a real incompetent chancer.
The SFA are heavily negligent here, in their rush to get this deid club back to where the decent teams compete. Now there’s the rumour that Cold Shouldered Dave is getting dodgy finance from the cold shouldered Qataris? Just when you thought that the Ibrox debacle could not get any more entertaining, Tina Turner records are being played sardonically on pub juke boxes by tims.
This will not end well, for the hasty unrealistic bluenoses looking for favours yet again. Mugs.
Whatever happened to the Ibrox three and their claim for unfair dismissal? It has all gone quiet. I suspect we won’t see a quantum set aside in the Sevco accounts to guard against a successful compensation claim.
I take it that they at Castle Greyskull haven’t been able to source a gardening book in Portuguese. That along with the shortage of cheap Ryanair flights being few and far between could be problematic
Mind you, Phil, combine Pedro’s technical area histrionics with a bit of Graeme Murty’s touchline acrobatics and the ‘Gers could have the greatest show on Earth. Talk about a three-ring circus.
Kingo are fecked if they do, fecked if they don’t.
No doubt King’s timeous arrival is more to do with the annual accounts due out this week than yesterday’s cup tie.
He will also be able, face to face, to scotch his counsel’s notion that King is skint…and reassure his audience that his commitment is 100%.
His commitment will be music to the ears of the auditors and if the concert party follow his lead then there should be no difficulty in signing off the accounts.
Oh how much brighter would be this morning if there was a final to look forward to in November but unfortunately it’s not to be.
Apart from a number of players being conspicuous by their absence yesterday against a team of journeymen stitched together in a few months by a competent manager, what about the performance of Bruno Alves?
A marquee signing, with wages to match, but bears little resemblance to the stalwart Portoguese international.
Bombing 40/50 yard passes in the general direction of a team mate doesn’t compute with his international career.
However we have been assured by Pedro and his players that all are pulling together and the dressing room is united as never before and the transition has been a triumph.
Wonder if Miller and Wallace will be on the naughty step as they found plenty to laugh about from their seats in the stand?
He has long since passed the point where all opposition managers, players and supporters want him to stay for a very long time.
It’s good that Sevco are in such a state they will find it difficult to get rid of him.
Like many, I’ll be sad to see him go mainly for the entertainment he provides through his gobbledegook statements and idiotic rantings.
Sevco have been caught out here by a total impostor who’s chancing his arm…….. then again, are they not just total impostors themselves?
It really is a dichotomy, continue to enjoy this ridiculous joke of a “club” or enjoy them hurtling to their death just like Glasgow Rangers did?
Scottish football is getting on fine without Rangers, I’m sure it’ll survive without Sevco. They will be difficult to replace in terms of comedy value only.
Well that result has saved us a few weeks of SMSM/L5 “Old Firm” bullshit.
Didn’t notice any photos of King smoozing with The Three Bears – strange – since they paid to jet him in.
Extending the “compensation theme” Phil…
Any idea what happened ( or is happening) with Warbo…Weir etc’s legal claim ?
Thanks.
I’m almost going to miss them when they’re gone. The gift that keeps on giving, has there ever been an example of such sheer and consistent ineptitude. All wrapped up in a veneer of superiority:)
Do you think yesterday will have any bearing on the end date Phil? Not only the cup final money they’ve lost but the blow to esteem and morale, the growing realisation that they are never getting there on the pitch. How much longer can the bears stomach throwing their ‘hard earned’ at it?
Padre Pedro may indeed be the very likable representative of the Dead Club here on earth.
Unfortunately it not unknown for earth shaking events to occur under Portuguese feet, I refer to the devastating Lisbon earth quake of 1755.
Some may also recall seismic events recorded in Lisbon that effectively left the Bigot Dome teetering on the edge of the abyss.
Many moons ago there was talk of “gratuitous alienation” regards the swapping of assets between this dodgy snake oil salesman and other even more venomous reptilian like slippery characters….
My question is this: has the “gratuitous alienation” situation gone away, answers please written on a stamped and addressed “slimey toad” to:
Laughing Bhoy box Ho..Ho..Ho..Govan.

The Glib one is like an infected tick! Burrowed in so deep feeding off of his host(s) as much as he can spreading his lymes disease everywhere and to everyone connected to the (now) dead host, are they suffering? You bet they are! Pity them. Incidentally Phil speaking of parasites, the story about Qatari (the parasites ) involvement in Sevco by John James today is very very interesting and worth further investigation?
Mr David Cunningham king has, during his illustrious career, uttered many statements, not all of which have been entirely truthful. But there is one statement of his which is 100% accurate and should be burned into the brain of every “Rangers” supporter (with a blowtorch if necessary). ” The only way we can beat Celtic is by outspending them” Having taking a little time to absorb the reality of this profound pronouncement i suggest they then organise themselves into a single large purchasing group and buy lots and lots of lottery tickets. Alternatively they might seek out a vastly wealthy individual prepared to supply the necessary finance. Someone like U.S. busineesman Mr Miller or nearer to home retail billionaire Mike Ashley. Oh wait . . . .
Oh dear…With no pot to piss in; they surely are a disaster waiting to happen. Senor Pedro; I applaud you.
Lord Jaysus…..Say it ain’t so…….Aah Peddy! We hardly knew ye!
Me too Phil, me too.
Long live Padre Pedro!
I for one will be personally gutted to see the bullfighter sacked I think hes doing a grand job . Or Maybe Mr moderator will land his dream job sooner than expected
Have they managed to settle with the previous management team? Or is that still a liability outstanding?
His reactions during the game wer dissgusting to say the least and really has to grow a pair but in fairness to him the ref they choosed. For such a high profile match just did not have a clue i mean ffs he couldn’t referee an under twelve match, so eh its back to you mr reagan just another fuckup was it.
Phil, how long does Pedro and his backroom team have on their deals and if possible how much would it cost to get rid of said men?
Thanks CcTop.?
Excellent Phil,
‘…convictions,41 to be precise’ had a laugh at that wee gem.
Keep at them,your the only one that does,and for that you have my thanks.??
