You have to feel for young Master Murts.
He is doing his level best, even if he isn’t on the Level.
Moreover, he thought that he had an agreement with the Serious Professional that any new additions to the management team would be at the youth level which he had vacated.
This was also the understanding of Director of Fantasy Mark Allen.
Therefore, it came as an unpleasant surprise to both Allen and Murty to learn that Mr Jimmy Nicholl was the new assistant manager at Sevco.
The Serious Professional was immediately contacted, but the management duo were breaking news to him!
A call was made across the Pond as it was assumed that Alastair James Johnston had sanctioned the appointment.
Apparently, apologies were in order as the USA based brogue wearing businessman had no idea what was going on.
Alas the move for Nicholl had originated south of the Limpopo.
The most upset of all was the Moderator of the Quintessentially British WhatsApp group as he thought the job was his.
For the record, young Master Murts had no issues with the appointment of Mr Moderator.
The only chap he was dead set against was Señor Ignacio Javier Gómez Novo.
Mark Allen was of the same opinion that the darling of The People had no place in the management structures.
Sadly, Nacho was a No No.
So, Mr Jimmy Nicholl, it is then.
I don’t see this ending well.
Dear reader, if I didn’t’ know any better, then I would think that Mr David Cunningham King doesn’t care that much for dressing room harmony at Sevco.

Great post Phil. It’s truly wonderful how you always seem to elicit replies from some of the biggest ignorant halfwits in the country.
Although university educated, I found my self having to read Maryhill Bear’s post about 3 times before I could decipher the meaning. At one point Alan Turing and Bletchley Park came to mind. What size of hook were you using and breaking strain of your line?
There seems to be no point in deconstructing his nonsense as most posters have attended to it.
This guy is seriously struggliling,marinading in his hate,bile,jealousy ,bigotry ,sectarianism and his barely noticeable intelligence.
As a previous poster said ,he has made himself look a tit, and a pretty stupid one at that.
(If he’s a Timmy coming wide, then chapeau!)
Looking forward to next instalment. Thank you
You really gotta laugh. The Queens Park chairman saying that if Hampden is ditched as the national stadium then for the bigger Scotland matches both Celtic and Sevco will hold the SFA to ransom for the fees to stage the games, He then mentions that then in effect the SFA who govern our game would actually be giving Celtic and Rangers a sporting advantage by “paying them” to play Scotland matches on there grounds, Whereas no other clubs would be getting this money !!
hahahaha
I thought having more money (to then buy better players) was not a sporting advantage?
LNS was a joke
How you are allowed to spill the bile you spill is above me..you should take a good look at your own club as you are a completely different club not just the company encharged with running it..I know you won’t print this as you pick and chouse what you print…do you want me to give you the company numbers of your oldco and your newco..they can be checked athe company house in London. ..no…didn’t think you would ..despite eufa and your bed bundies the sfa telling you this you still choose to stay in your bubble ..your club used the same ebts that you have issue with…doesn’t matter how many times they still usedo the perfectly legal scheme ..As to the illegal tax dodging system the majority of employees at shelik fc 1888 as your now called using illegal tax dodges from Peter lawwell to Martin oneill,Chris Sutton, John hartson,stan varga,Neil lennon the list goes on and on and on you never mention this in any posts..it’s about time you faced the facts were here always have been and we’re slowly getting back to the top where we belong. .happy new year ya sanctimonious excuse of a journalist
Oh dear.
Such pain…
So much anger in this. I really think a lesson can be learned from whataboutery here. Is he trying to say Celtic is or has been run fraudulently? I’d love to see the evidence. Put up or shut up. There has been plenty of evidence regarding current and past residents of Ibrox, especially in court.
PS Any chance of a spell check?
‘Chouse’, ‘Athe’, ‘eufa’, ‘bed bundies’ (Is that like Ted Bundy?!), ‘Usedo’, ‘Shelik fc’, ‘your’ =’you’re’, ‘oneill’, ‘were here’ = ‘we’re’, ‘getting BACK’?! ‘To the TOP?!!’ where you ‘BELONG?’??!!!
You do know, Billy, that Rangers were dead & buried on the 12th of June 2012, don’t you?
If not, I suggest you check the front page headlines of that day’s & the next day’s papers, you can see it for yourself in both black & white and in colour, the pics of the Rangers’ coffin being lowered into its final resting grave on the front of The Sun a particular favourite amongst us Tims-U-Hate, although the Record’s ‘RIP RFC: 140 Years of History Gone In 15 Seconds’ ran it very close indeed.
Personally, I like to switch between the two for a right good laugh whenever ‘the blues’ get me down, though I very much doubt they’ll have the same effect on you, given your own penchant for gullibility, denial and that queer form of necrophilia unique to those who trust Dave King with their money and believe that the dancing skeleton in the dead team’s clothes is the same one that’s lying in an unmarked ‘grave’ in a Canary Wharf filing cabinet.
Go on, Billy, take a peek, you do know how to do a Google Search, don’t you ..?
Btw, it’s clear that all Phil writes really is ‘above’ you but I think the word that you were looking for was ‘BEYOND’ you, that his revelations & exposés on your shambles of a new club is somehow ‘beyond’ you, but, given the complete lack of reasoning (and spelling) throughout the rest of your post, such inane confusion should come as no surprise to any of us, which, of course, it doesn’t, as your schools have quite the reputation for fooling their pupils like you with a sham facade of lies, rubbish and outright nonsense in place of a proper education, as your post so clearly demonstrates to us all.
Now howzabout THAT for ‘sanctimonious’, Billy?
Jayz, I’m approaching the realm of ‘A Tenner For Every Fiver!’ territory here, even if I say so myself!
Class writing my friend
Ta.
D’you think Billy noticed?
No, He is probably too busy on the Follow Follow website posting how they are gonna catch us this season and win the Champions league next season.
still the face painting Lady won’t be paid though
HH
And not a coherent fact anywhere in that rant….
You demand that Phil checks the facts, suggest you do the same..
Or maybe you would prefer to make a bit of a tit of yourself
Again.
Fcuk me Bear, There is probably not one line in your rant…sorry post that is factually correct.
OK, Where would you like to start?. Lets start with “our own club”. That would be the treble winners and Invincibles of last season eh? Top of the league this season and the League cup already in the cabinet. Self sustaining, Money in the bank. far too strong for ANY side in Scotland.
I fear you struggle with facts Bear so I will help you out here….all the above is fact apart from my last bit about being too strong domestically in Scotland, That my dear knuckledragger, Is my opinion.
I like Phil feel your pain, Administration must have been sore but LIQUIDATION, fuck me, If that was my club that would be the “end” of me 🙂
HH
We were never liquidated!!!!
Matron,Matron
I must admit I get fed up hearing this Celtic oldco/newco garbage. They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well, add it to whataboutery and a butt-load of hurt and you get Maryhill bear’s nonsense.
Just to make it easy for you MB, here’s the Companies House link you might be looking for … https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC003487
For the avoidance of any doubt : Celtic PLC, company number SC003487, registered 12th April 1897, previous company name “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited”, between 12th April 1897 and 15th December 1994.
If you really want to try using the Google thing, you might want to look up the Companies Act and check the bit about (a) what the letters PLC and LTD mean and (b) when you’re legally obliged to change from one to the other. Not that Rangers are necessarily acquainted with doing things they’re legally obliged to, right enough… “perfectly legal scheme” – I think the UK Supreme Court has a, shall we say, slightly different view on the EBT scheme as operated by Murray on behalf of Rangers…
Yeah, It’s Above, Below, Beneath and also Beyond me also.
Brogues…. shouldn’t you be polishing your masters cow boy boots instead of coming on here deluding yourself…. you poor thing.
Maryhill Bear. I could be wrong, but I believe such a name implies that you come from the Maryhill area. If that IS the case you are indeed fortunate. Maryhill is situated close to many excellent seats of learning. Glasgow University to name but one. I suggest you take advantage of the close proximity of some of these educational establishments to improve your literacy. However, rather than setting your sights as high as the fourth oldest University in the UK perhaps the bottom class in your local Primary school would be a better starting point. You could work your way up until you can read and write in your Queen’s English. That should keep you out of mischief for a good few years……….
Staunch?
Oh! I just Love currants on my buns, especially with a liberal sprinkling of self destruction, how can anyone take Scottish Fitbaw seriously while The rangers continue to cling by their finger tips to the edge of the abyss, I use the word abyss cause it sounds Latin = Roman = Catholic which in turn adds loadsa NUTS onto my currant buns yummy, let’s move to Sevcos wee team but the big team in ma toun ??? this lot have been taking lessons from Kings Paupers, they build a brand new stand then block off the 18 yard box wi a Sky Hut which they pass of as a studio ???anyway I diverse then they attempt to sell 600 jiminy crickets to the wearers o the GREEN, where anything happening in the Boax couldnae be seen and this is where I am sure the Ref and his three assistants were when wee Oli stuck the baw in the hertz pokey.
You write a good some may say great hilariously funny and truthful Blog keep it up Gadgie The Greens Forever
Erin Go Bragh.
I keep reading about players coming in Phil but with player budgets at a higher level than they should and lone players coming back on to pay roll. Could u say how this is going to help with cash flow at a club with no money and a king without a crown penny to rub.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this plays out in public. If there’s one thing we learned is that unrest between Board members always ends in public spats (at this institution anyway).
The fans are grown g in restlessness with their Boardroom going by perusing their own forums.
Some of them appear to be using Mr Allan and Mr Robertson as scapegoats, but they are fast coming out of their honeymoon period with the GLIB one. Tick tock.
Given that Dave King is chairman only of the holding company, and that he has no executive role at the football playing subsidiary, I don’t see how he can legally enter into any commitments on behalf of said subsidiary. And presumably the Serious Professional who is on the board of the football playing subsidiary, and hence has certain legal obligations, is perfectly entitled by law to tell him to take a hike.
I do not see how any organisation can function with these splits in senior management. Everything points to a death spiral. At this point, and previously, the question needs to be asked, “is Sevco trading while insolvent?”
If King has not put money in, will the auditors issue a statement to preserve their professional integrity?
Directors who have provided loans, councillors who worry about stadium safety issues, ex-managers looking for compensation, suppliers who are creditors, auditors concerned about their professional integrity…..all involved in a deadly game of Ker Plunk! All afraid to be the one that pulls the final stick out that causes the lot to collapse! All of this, and more, watched over by a governance body in total silence. When will it be safe for Mrs Regan and Doncaster to appear in public? They must be suffering from prison pallor by now!
Rebus
That nails it Rebus ! And not a word from MSM. The Bampots and Phil in particular have shone a light in the dark corners of ibrox and what fraudulently purports to be Scottish football governance. What does it take to attain some genuine sporting integrity in this wee insecure and poisoned by bigotry and sectarianism country? Keep on shining the light Phil because,the darkness runs deep.
I feel there is a faction at ibrokes trying to destroy it from within. I dare say that if they force it into liquidation then king and his cohorts will come out smelling of roses as secured creditors
HH
But what would be their benefit or intention in forcing it into liquidation?
Happy New Year Phil. 3 great stories on day one of the year. These stories, if available to the bears, would seriously deflate them after their huge boost in getting a draw with the underperforming Champions.
First up…
Happy New Year Phil to you and yours……and to all the guys and gals who post on the Blog.
As for Norn Ireland Nicholl being appointed…..that’s great news.
It’s yet another step back for the Govan Club…. into the mists of time.
Happy new year Mike, keep the posts coming and the jokes!!!!
All the best
Hail Hail
