A prescient general correctly predicts the errors of Sevco

If you want to succeed in business, then it pays to have a high degree of prescience.

In the aftermath of the court hearing in July 2018, it seemed that the Sevco High Command had no room for manoeuvre.

That was certainly the opinion of the officer corps at Shirebrook.

There was a consensus in the Sports Direct war room that total victory had been achieved at the High Court in London.

However, General Ashley demurred.

His view of the King and his cronies was that they would not be able to help themselves.

Big Mike was spot on!

I’m told that no one in Shirebrook could believe that the Sevco High Command had set up this online car boot sale to shift the new Hummell gear, especially after the Mr Justice Phillips had told them to get sensible last July.

Well, no one except General Ashley himself.

In fact, I’m told that he was expecting it a bit quicker than it actually happened because he has a very clear understanding of the dire financial situation at Ibrox.

It is always advisable to never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

However, it is even better if you know what error they will commit even before they do!

  1. I’m guessing someone ran the numbers and worked out that selling the stock and paying compensation to Big Mike would be better than paying compensation to JD and Hummel for not selling the stock.

  2. Any truth that King is going to take over a section of Ashley’s newly-acquired House of Fraser store on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street to sell sevco souvenirs? Also, any truth that this pop-up store will be called Tit For Tat, so that the tits that visit ibrox every other week can buy their tat? Maybe Club 1872 can start offering package holidays too? In order to maximise revenue, they could offer different cabin classes, such as Lambeg Drum class, where the fatties can sit up front. I’m sure Mr King has more cunning plans than Baldock. Perhaps we may even see him making an appearance in Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson, playing the part of Baldrick’s less intelligent cousin, with Stephen Fry playing the part of the fat controller. Naturally, there would be no part for Tim McInerny, because his name is a bit “feniany”.

    There’s lots more entertainment to come from that lot, after all, panto season is almost upon us again!

  3. Not a fan of McLeish but he’s obviously not well.
    You can see it in his face and when he’s talking.
    Do the SFA managerial appointments go through a medical?

  4. Club 1872 must be very proud that their monthly contributions are going to a good cause…….paying the legal fees, as their heroic de facto Chairman faces down the world.

  5. Another Scotland shambles, could have been 4 or 5.
    McLeish hasn’t a clue and the players looked as if they didn’t know what they were supposed to be doing.
    Thanks SFA for landing us with a manager who couldn’t get a gig anywhere else but is deemed the answer for Scotland.
    But then should we be surprised? When was the last time the SFA got anything right?
    Slaughtered by an Israeli team who haven’t won in 10 and are 90 something in the world.
    The manager hasn’t a clue and we have no chance of qualifying for anything whilst he’s in charge.
    Is he too expensive to pay off?
