I am afraid that there is an air of resignation around the Blue Room at the moment.
Moreover, I think it is fair to say that Mr David Cunningham King was in a less than Zen-like state last night.
The resignation of Mr Barry Scott came as a total surprise to him.
I’m also told that the South African based convicted criminal had a rather ungracious attitude towards the resignation of Mr Paul Murray.
Consequently, an inter-galactic PR guru had to be briefed last night with the “clearing the way for new investment” fairy story.
Of course, the stenographers dutifully ran with that today.
File under “high-Level pish”.
Now I’m told that two rather important looking missives marked “personal and highly confidential” arrived today at Ibrox for the Serious Professional.
Eyes only.
They were delivered by hand.
I think that all speculation as to their likely contents should be Parked at this point in time.
Developing story…
King’s comments were telling yesterday. They were still trying to attract cash.
Gerrard is obviously a marketing ploy to flush out any potential investors* in The Rangers and sell season tickets on his name alone. There’s no big investment** on the horizon, just the hope that someone sees Gerrard and thinks Sevco are back in the big time and worth chucking money at for nothing in return.
Just wait until Kingy uses the dough to get back his £20m and fill his escrow account with the £11m for the share offer and Stevie bhoy is left high and dry.
Won’t be rangers manager until the summer plenty of time then for the klan to be ripped off again kerching .
Proof of the pudding of the return of the warchest will be the first non Bosman £4/5m signing walking in the door.
Will give Stevie G an insight to payment terms and negotiations the Rangers way with the predictable CL Group Stage qualification add ons.
His stock and reputation are going to be dragged through the mud by association alone.
So hamilton still waiting on instalment payments for docherty but gerrard getting millions thrown at him to spend what’s going on over there and hamilton doing nothing about it .I think its a publicity stunt gerrard not taking over until the summer so bennys get out there buy all the tickets you can gerrard is a no show as the money won’t be there but job done as season books sold .
What a glorious day for Sevco investors/lenders,or contractors.Having accepted that any money owned was a lost cause,to wake up and discover they have millions to give to SG is welcome news.
Now Sevco have all this money it should be easy for them to repay me,and let the new investors shoulder the burden.
John Barnes. “If Rangers fans think Steven Gerrard will attract big name players they’re wrong. Only big money will attract big name players.”
You go on and on with this but they spent between 7-8 million last summer, paid the salaries of those players and have now called a press conference for tomorrow, where it would seem Stevie G will be announced.
I love laughing at how shite they are, but I don’t see any real financial bedlam over there at all.
More superb stuff Phil , been catching up with the blogs today and it amazes me they’re still alive . Murray and Scott are deserting the sinking ibrokes and Gerrard would need a life support for his career if he takes this shambles on . Don’t know if there is any truth in this but a blue nose aquantince of mine says DCK will be off into the sunset in 3 weeks time probably with his children’s inheritance in his back pocket . Keep up the good work amigo ??????
OOOOO ERR MISSUS. Can’t wait for matters to develop and the spin will probably be hilarious but don’t tell the sevconians as they’ve had a difficult time of it recently. Just ask the medical profession. HH
Did Barry Scott bring in a lot of soft loans from Hong Kong Phil ? What if those investors want money back instead of equity shares would that be a lot of trouble for the blues brothers ? Just a we rumour I heard regarding Scott …. Mmmmm?
The missives are clearly from two billionaires demanding to become millionaires by funding Sevco for a couple of seasons. I await the plastic seating being gold plated, with Spitfire and hurricane logos, to compliment the” Ten German bombers in the air” witty ditty.
Hi Phil.
Apologies posted on my comments re being resigned about sevco.
Didn’t realise I’d upset anyone if you want you can reach me at my email address and I can explain.
Oh Phil, if you get a chance while in God’s country, call into Dom’s at the pier in Donegal town. When my wife and I have called there Michael and staff treat us with Four Masters hospitality.
If a brace of Parks parked themselves somewhere other than the ibrokes boardroom, the board would have so many gaps that the air would be fair whistling through it. Probably blowing tumbleweed all round the place.
leaving so much more room for extra investors or have I missed something?
Scott could literally sink them by recalling the £5million loan. Unless I’m mistaken, I haven’t seen that getting paid in any accounts.
Barry Bang doesn’t have £6 million. Begs the question, Who’s money is it?. Dave wouldn’t be doing his laundry now, Would he.?
You must drive them even nuttier than they already are Phil ,a bluenose in the local boozer recons you have all things sevco bugged and maybe even a camera or two as well,PML ,I tried to explain to him what an actual bona fide journalist does for a living ,but im afraid the concept was beyond him.
I see Celtic are the first club to avail any of their support requiring Sanitary products for free. Maybe we could send a large batch to the deathstar ,I hear they are going through a particularly difficult period at the moment ….sorry
Condom.
You can condom all of the people all of the time.
A bit diagonal John, wouldn’t want to comment on hacking, but could do a few jars with you. Personal current issues include side effects from antibiotics, but I guess all things will pass and I wouldn’t bring any of that stuff up.
Haven’t met any huns with the insight you’ve seen so that would get us off to a great start, but planning out the revival plan could be a challenge, don’t know.
I noticed this morning that the directors leaving was actually good news as they now have room to bring in more investment. Amazed at that pish. Do you mean to suggest Park may resign? Or perhaps calling in soft loans?
God and his blessed mother Phil.
Sevco revel in the belief that they’ve acquired a bigger name than Brendan. Methinks Dawn French is a big enough name and she probably would have been cheaper. Money is flying in from all directions…..hope they remember the extensive list of unfortunates who are owed by them…retain the trophies etc, retain the debt. Decent thing to do, don’t you know.
Nevertheless entitlement remains their God. Apparently the Queen has entitlement as well, most of us fulfill her entitlement via direct taxation. The loyal Hun, however, seem oblivious to her majesty’s needs. Yet they crow devotion to her by means of the world’s most dour anthem.
Rules is rules. Sevco are out on their own, they are exempt from all rules. Entitlement reigns supreme.
What kind of egotistical arsehole is S Gerard. He has a role with Liverpool and he should remember that he will be forever indebted to that club. No Liverpool FC means no S Gerard, means none of the riches and lifestyle he enjoys.
Oops forgot, entitlement is God.
Great word that Entitlement. It’s up there alongside words like Principles. Of course in the Sevco Dictionary only one of them appears .
If Stevie G does not take the job it will be interesting to see how level 5 spin this .And even better to see how the fans react to it .Chris Jack at the evening shark jump has picked from the goalkeeper position right up to the striker of the changes Stevie G will make as if he is rangers manager just now oh dear humble pie or egg on your face there Chris your choice you decide .
Is it planning permissions for the Hover Pitch and Mega-Casino ?
No investment No Gerrard
No more team-bus for day trips out the asylum.
I don’t even think this is as good as it gets… it will get worser… ha ha
High level-pish. I just had to laugh. Keep it up Phil. HH.
“ high-level Pish.” So contextual.
Maybe sometime in the future, in a galaxy far ,far away, a university or some other centre of learning, will offer a Degree in high level pishery.
Just a wee thought.
Look forward to the development of this story.
Thanks again
The spiv is stalling for time.
He is like a circus act spinning plates running up and down the line Each time he comes back there’s more plates for him Media lackeys keep feeding up this shite and the mob keep eating the bait. Long may this continue They just don’t get it as they say you can’t educate a mug
I see Murray has also left Garrion on 2/5 according to Companies House. Any significance to that?
Hi Phil, completely OT but can I ask, sort comments oldest first? Makes reading through them make much much more sense.
Ta, and keep up the good work.
That made me chuckle as I just had the very same thought as I scrolled to the bottom of the screen to read ‘comments’ in time order…so I will sign your petition Malc!!!!!
Any chance of the story devoting in the next hour. Would help to take mins off a long and tedious train journey home…
do we expect Mr King to be left holding the misbegotten changeling?
Making friends and enjoying the journey, Timmy. #obsessed.
Stevie G’s application form???
