Sevco are certainly pulling away in the Pointless Statements title race.
There was another one yesterday.
The colouring in fusiliers are certainly busy.
Of course, Planet Fitba is bereft of what it needs as football matches are not being played.
However, the Ibrox klanbase still are.
Being played that is…
Statement o’clock has shaped the narrative so that Sevco’s credulous customer base are ready to stump up for fantasy season tickets.
Such a PR campaign to be successful it must be like Celtic at the business end of the season.
Relentless.
Therefore, the Sevco statements have been coming fast for the thick.
It remains to be seen how long this PR campaign can play this game without actually revealing the putative evidence they claim not have about SPFL skulduggery.
However, it would be a mistake to forget that this spin is only aimed at the Ibrox klanbase.
Consequently, it is working perfectly.
This is the same PR operation that convinced BBC Scotland to have Gregory Campbell MP on a football show.
I am told that it was head of sport Tom Connor who railroaded this one through.
My information is that ALL of his colleagues thought it was an awful idea.
Indeed, some of the contributors to the show only found out just before they were going on air about the surprise guest from Norn iron.
My understanding is that their mics were muted as Flegory was given the floor on Votegate and his Early Day Motion at Westminster.
That the piece was cut from the podcast has played perfectly with the Ibrox klanbase about the “biased BBC”.
All in all, Sevco are playing the PR war very well.
If it just wasn’t for their ability to win on the field of play.
They’re always at their best when there are no football matches to be played.
At times like this that is worth remembering.
Since they were created in 2012 Sevco have not won a single major honour despite pissing away millions.
Of course, all of the foregoing should be easy enough for a functioning Fourth Estate to tackle head-on.
However, I think you see the problem right there dear reader.
You may recall what one of their award-winning stars stated about Covid19.
He later apologised for his “utter stupidity” apropos the pandemic.
In truth, he has made a career out of such atavism.
The Sevco PR campaign operates freely because there is zero journalistic scrutiny on matters Ibrox.
Until that changes then the Crayon Commandos at Edmiston Drive have little to worry about.
So with the support of Hearts and Stranraer an EGM will be called. Both will be relegated as things stand, one of them has an average attendance of 250 people at home games.
Budge doesn’t know whether to stick or twist. Her gross mismanagement has put Hearts at the foot of the table. Her reliance on Levein to run the football side of things has proven to be a disastrous decision.
Nobody’s fooled by Rangers claiming to be leading the charge to expose the shortcomings of our footballing authorities. We are already fully aware of the SFA and SPFL’s
Funny how with 9 and 10 IAR staring Rangers in the face they have suddenly found a voice.
It’s clear that with Season Tickets to shift they can sell their snake oil to customers who danced along Edmiston Drive with a billionaire with wealth off the radar, to be followed by cheeky Charlie who made a few bob from then before moving on.
I truly wish, unlikely as it seems, that the remaing league and cup games are played, resulting in a never to be repeated quadruple treble.
When the history books are read in years to come outsiders will ask the question ‘ who was running Rangers during this spell of total Celtic domination?’
I take it as read when you – Phil say the klanbase take the dropping of the podcast as an example of ‘BBC bias’. Problem is that I, rational, loveable, civilised being that I am, take the inclusion of Gregory Campbell on that programme as a clear sign of ‘BBC bias’. “ Two men say they’re Jesus. One of them must be wrong.”
Maybe it’s a sign that things are shifting in the state radio programme. All is not good. The pilot is trying to release the info leaflets, only no-one has told the rear gunner that his services are no longer required and he is still straiffing the peasants.
At such times Covid seems like some kind of touch stone blessing of reality. My wayward daughter has become Joan of Arc, how’s your youngest doin Phil?
Two men say they’re Jesus they’re probably BOTH lying.
If Sevco didn’t exist , would anyone invent them ?
It must be difficult for the Gullibillies in this time of crisis and fundamental upheaval to be hit with a pandemic as well ! Can it get any worse ?
If ‘The King Over the Water ‘ ( aka GASL) was seen as the ‘Saviour’ back in 2015 , does that mean that the next one will be The Second Coming ?
If Parks goes belly up ( whalers beware ! ) will the bankrupt Klub use the bicycle from their ..ahem.. Trophy Room as their alternative mode of team transport … or did Craig Whyte sell that ( the bike not the Trophy Room ) ?
These are some of the thoughts that I expect answers to in the next edition of Ibrox Statement , a daily journal of life at House of Fun .
If he does go belly up an unforeseen solar eclipse is very likely 😂😂
The reason that the evidence has yet to be produced is simple. They CAN’T produce it yet because they haven’t finished making it up.
They are a couple of statements away from just saying …..
“No Surrender. WATP”
Personally speaking I love the thought of the zombies bled dry. The thought of the scum fleecing their brain dead followers brightens up my day. Bleed them for everything they’ve got – with zest.
“ Crayon commandos of Edminston Dr” …. that is top work 😂😂😂 I doff my cap sir 👍
Will those crayon commandos participate in this year’s Help For Halfwits day, I wonder?
The reality as Phil has said is Rangers haven’t won a trophy of note since 2012. They are leaking £10m every years since returning to the Scottish EPL in 2016. They have thrown the kitchen sink financially at Celtic since 2016 and failed miserably. Their is not one player in the Rangers Squad who would get in Celtic’s 1st 11.
I found it strange that Gregory Campbell, a DUP politician from N. Ireland was on Sportsround. I was disappointed not to be able to hear his spiel on the podcast. It is laughable that a club, if you believe it is the same entity as pre 2012, can see itself as allowed to preach about probity and integrity of the SFA. It is even more scandalous that they haven’t been called out over it by journalists.
FollowFollow is making for glorious reading at the minute. The Ibrox Klanbase, to quote Phil, is living in glorious oblivion to the financial carnage facing Rangers. Indeed with all the posts about Albertz, Laudrup and Gascoigne it’s like reading a trip down memory lane. I guess thats all the supporters can do. They have no recent or current success to drool over.
As Phil has rightly pointed out, the Rangers board are leading the supporters up the garden path with all the steam they are blowing out. I don’t anticipate the evidence they have will amount to a hill of beans. Rangers are as far behind Celtic as the latter were in the early 1990s. Thank god for Fergus McCann who put the club on a solid financial footing and gave us a sustainable business plan going forward.
Without a sugar Daddy I expect to see Rangers bust before Christmas. Then the penny will drop for their loyal supporters that they have been truly hoodwinked.
Keep up the good work Phil.
in my opinion fergus did not go far enough. he got jim farry off the premises but he should have demanded that the league championship be declared null and void due to the blatant cheating by the SFA president.
celtic should be pursuing this outcome today.
Mr Campbell wasn’t the only surpise radio guest this weekend… https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2020/04/26/a-surprise-radio-guest…
Presumably you raised a Buckie n’ Bleach cocktail to The Donald’s latest musings.
Well…
