Sevco play Dundee tonight and the away team will have a caretaker manager in the dugout.
Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha was sacked on the 26th of last month.
I think it is fair to say that the likeable Portuguese chap was on managerial death row for a couple of weeks before that fateful day.
Therefore, the Sevco High Command has had around six weeks to identify a new manager.
Even before Pedro tendered his Warburton resignation there were moves to source a stop gap gaffer.
I understand that two Sevco directors approached Lord Cardigan to get his views on being a short-term solution to their managerial problems.
Let’s just say he exited rather swiftly from the conclave.
My information is that the ex-Rangers manager moved surprisingly fast for a man of almost 70 years of age.
Derek McInnes of Aberdeen made it quite clear at his presser today that he believed that his putative interest in the Sevco job had been a media campaign.
In other words, it was high-Level pish.
Of course, regular readers will not be surprised at this revelation.
I’m told that a certain inter-galactic PR guru was less than delighted yesterday at Mr Barry Ferguson EBT.
Apparently, the opinions of the ex-Clyde manager on the managerial debacle at Sevco were not welcome.
One of the strands in this saga is that the narrative is now becoming increasingly difficult to control.
Developing comedy…

One of the answers to sevco’s woes it to terminate the services of Jabba’s Level5 PR services. If you think about it, Jabba is the puppetmaster pulling the strings there. Whether it’s “c’mon Mark (Warburton)”, or the guff about bringing in McInnes, Jabba is the common denominator for a lot of Sevco’s troubles. Thing is – they’re all as thick as pig shit, so they cannot see where their main problem is!
Sevco are gonna get their 3 in a row after all.
Now that is a hilarious situation ?
Some wonderful “Celtic Way” dribbling and passing there from Scott Allan to provide the winner for the excellent O’Hara.
The young Celt Allan piling on the woes for Sevco and immense pressure on the board and Dave King.
Give that Bhoy a cigar.
I think they are going to finally make 3 in a row, oops
My money is on Fraserburgh in the cup.
The bad news is that Neil McCann got three points tonight
The good news is that Sevco didn’t.
McCann for manager! McCann for manager!……. ooooooooo ……… ooooooo
Spurt spurt spurt….
Can you imagine the incompetent Sevco Ibrox board and management actually managing something serious like the ambulance service, the fire service, the police, an RAF base, a hospital, a university, a Warship or an Army battalion?
Complete buffoons.
Thank goodness they’re only being let loose to stuff up a new, small budget, Football Club with minimal impact on society.
Considering what some of their fans get up to I’m not sure their impact is that small. Unfortunately.
Even though we got beat heavily in Paris we need to keep the faith in Brendan Rodgers. He will build the team up over time by playing the right way. It will take time especially given this financial climate. He has developed players to a great football level given the restrictions.
A propos of nothing at all I wonder what the BBC would say to a freedom of information request as to how much money has been paid to Rangers EBT recipients since 2012. I wonder if anyone suitably experienced in such requests would be interested in making one?
if you give me a list of the names i would be more than happy to ask the question.
Pullover?. Is that what they call a lay by in Jersey?
???
Got me beat here…:0)
No don’t be so woolly. It’s a jersey in Jersey.
Wrong,a pullover is a jumper in Jersey,a Cardigan,similar,but not the same,is a Lord in iBoaks.?
Thankfully McCann wasn’t the only one who won last night,btts and Dundee to win,10/1@Bet365…..luvvly jubbly HH?
The film producer Mr.Peter L.B. Rogers has decided to bring out a sequel to the film Carry on AGM Camping. The new carry on film entitled `carry on managing’ is most eagerly awaited. As Sid (who is expected to play the lead role) would say, aahhg aahhg.
PS Rumour has it Mrs Windsor appears as a fan.
The EBT twa ,ferguson and smith,are only interested if their coffers are being swelled,but that isn’t a viable option atm.
We can only hope another ex-rfc player,mcann,has a really good evening in the dugout tonight and slays his former employers lookalikeeez/imposters/tribute act,sevco on the field.
Thanks for the update Phil???
I’m surprised L5 haven’t ripped into Murty for his recent comments. He would clearly prefer a quick move back to the safety of the youth squad instead of getting fired to appease the mob after slipping to sixth for Xmas – the advent calendar is not looking kind.
But then, if Murty goes who will they have left – time for Mark Allen to step up maybe – former play, media training, accountancy and business skills – what more could one ask for. Or alternatively, with all that learning and experience, Mr Allen might understand rather too much of his predicament and be keeping his head down as he looks for a way out.
And as a rank outsider – worth a tenner of anyone’s money – have we under-estimated Dave King’s ego – will he rip off his suit at the AGM Chippendale-style to reveal a Sport Direct trackie with DK chalked on the breast pocket – and declare himself the new manager of Rangers – cometh the hour, cometh the bat-shit crazy megalomanic sociopath tax criminal.
It’s a pity that Mr.McInness didnae rubbish the story weeks ago…
It would have saved a lot of urine being written.
I’m also reliably informed that there will be no decision or announcement…until the Lying King knows the outcome of Lord Bannatyne’s judgement.
Passed on in good faith.
Mr McInnes never comments on speculation. I believe his comments concerning affairs at Sunderland that were in the press a fortnight ago tells that was needed to know regarding affairs in Govan.
So why now…?
Reasonable question.
Maybe the chairman has had enough of the speculation? I’ve wondered if the status of the stadium application has affected McInnes considering his tenure. I think with the recent report on the economic benefit to the region makes the application a no brainier – and McInnes wants to help mild the club for the future. Could be linked to the WBA speculation and how all these links affect the team. After tonight’s result, I think it’s fair to say the manager will be appointed next week…
Everyone is turning on King.
It’s open season on him.
He has failed.
Two Aberdeen v Sevco games imminent.
Wake up!
They made McInnes a derogatory offer which was rebuffed.
He was careful and played the waiting game.
He is now 100% with Aberdeen. And declared it as two games v Sevco imminent.
I expect Aberdeen to comfortably win both.
“Lord Cardigan”???
His he the Wan that passed his duties onto the Earl of sandwich
I heard that when he was driving on Jersey…the polis invited him to pullover…as a local lass claimed he tried to jumper.
Ah’ll get mah coat.
Like that! Old jokes definitely the best.
Ah’ll get my coat as well. Lol
