For the day that’s in, it’s hardly the most cryptic title.
In 2023 we are supposed the former exists at Sevco with flint-like integrity.
Well, that’s definitely up for debate.
There is no doubt that in 2012 the original Ibrox club departed the scene with 276 of the latter, including the ambulance service, local businesses and the British treasury, all unpaid.
This is a brutal fact that the local media should have been relentless in pointing out ever since.
Of course, dear reader, we both know that the venal invertebrates in the Stenography Corps have done the complete opposite.
They certainly have no standards.
In his post-match comments, that nice Mr Beale was at his David Brent best apropos Tillman goal controversy.
Apparently, there was a “massive misunderstanding”, just like those side letters, I suppose.
It got better:
“This football club is built on high standards”.
Now, that’s hilarious, given the past history of the original Rangers and Charlie Green’s Sevco.
“We want the best for the game” I mean, I couldn’t write comedy dialogue to match this.
“… To uphold the standards of this football club.”
Dear reader, I actually had to take a break transcribing this.
Of course, these are historically illiterate own goals that should be pounced on by the local media.
That will not happen because they bought into the pretence over a decade ago that this new club is the original Rangers.
When they did that, they also spat in the eye of those 276 creditors.
Since Rangers died, the Fitba Fourth Estate has repeatedly proved that they don’t have any standards because they collude with an Orwellian lie that Rangers survived the insolvency event.
The featured image is proof from the day itself that at least one young chap in the Ibrox klanbase, peace be upon him, understood what the possibility of liquidation meant for his beloved Rainjurrz.
This site is free to view and fully searchable.
Here is what I published the DAY AFTER Rangers were placed in administration.
At the same time, the local media were doing their inadequate best to soothe the Ibrox klanbase that administration was only a temporary blip and that the club would survive.
Ever the contrarian, I stuck to the inconvenient facts and said that liquidation would indeed happen.
Well, in June of that year, it happened.
Since then, the local media have gone along with the self-serving fiction that it didn’t happen.
A staffer on the same newspaper that published that entirely factual front page came up with the wonderful fiction of “engine room subsidiary”.
Apart from your humble correspondent, I’m not aware of any other named NUJ member who has:
- So consistently pointed out the truth about what happened to the original Ibrox club.
- Investigated what has been happening at Sevco since it was formed in 2012 by Charlie and the boys.
It really is about standards.
Now, for the avoidance of doubt, this novelist would much rather that I wasn’t the only show in town.
It irks me no end to realise that if I stopped investigating what was going on at Ibrox, the Sevco High Command and Stenography Corps would have it much easier.
So, happy administration day wherever you are.
The truth, at the end of the day, really does matter.

31/10/2012 …A judge has approved a motion for the former Rangers Football Club to be handed over to liquidators.
Duff and Phelps took over running of the club when it entered administration on 14 February over unpaid tax bills.
Earlier this month, the administrators said the club’s creditors had approved an end to the administration.
At the Court of Session in Edinburgh, Lord Hodge approved a Duff and Phelps motion to hand over what remains of the old club to liquidators BDO.
Moves to end the administration were held up by a last-minute challenge from Collyer Bristow, former lawyers to Craig Whyte.
The law firm, which is also one of the creditors of the old Rangers, is being sued for about £25m damages by Duff and Phelps over its role in Mr Whyte’s takeover of the club last year.
Its not just the newspapers who bought into the whole the new rangers are the same as the old rangers. I don’t hear much grumbling coming from any of the teams in the league, especially Celtic.
They are just as wrapped up in this whole pretense as anyone else is. Makes me think that the whole five way agreement was signed by the SPL,SPFL,SFA, Sevco and Celtic.
I don’t understand why nobody has came out and spoken about the governing authorities having a special signed agreement with one team. Can you imagine the uproar in say England if it turned out that Man City had signed a secret deal with the English FA?
Guess who’s popped up? Apologies for the rag link, but what y’all make of this from GASL:
https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/10220894/dave-king-rangers-shares-club-1872-off/
In summary: “ I’m trying to ditch my Sevco shares but no one is interested.”
New gullibillys required
I think it’s interesting that it is only when there is “international” comment or observation that the SFA appear to take an interest. By “International”, I mean your own work but I’d include current EUFA scrutiny and the likes of Alex Thompson as well. It’s almost as if the official omerta has been breached somehow.
Living in the North East of Ireland I completely understand this narrative, it’s a means of control and designed to prevent development and change. I can confirm, it never works
The claims of unsurpassed dignity are hilarious.
If Thiistle had held on and moved into the next round of the cup is there anyone on planet football who thinks that Beale would still be in a job today?
Football appreciates your efforts,Phil
I for one love your blogs Phil and look forward to you continuing to give us the stories the Stenography Corps don’t but I often wonder what has happened to Alex Thomson the Channel 4 reporter who also broke a number of stories about the old Rangers and their tax cases and ultimate downfall and liquidation,
I also saw he was a previously a continuous target for the Klan trolls on Twitter but he seems to have lost interest on all the shady goings on at the Castle Greyskull.We need people like yourself and Thomson making life difficult for the Blue Room, keep up the good work it’s much appreciated.

Anyone, any Brit, all except of big mike…
SEVCO, Charles Green
Five way agreement……just a dream
If we die again, then we will follow on

Celtic are green
Sevco are blue
Sevco are Rangers?
That just isn’t true
Happy Administration Day
“I love it, love it,” that St.Valentine’s Day is a convenient reminder of the demise of Rangers FC.
Charlie though, should really have planned ahead when creating The Rangers FC.
His new club could have been registered on October 28th… St.Jude’s Day! 🙂
Mr Beale has received praise for allowing Partick Thistle to score that goal unopposed (although Mr McGregor seemed to be doing his best to interrupt the process) and maybe that praise was rightly due. However, Mr Beale’s ‘act of sportsmanship’ was only necessary because one of his players demonstrated a total lack of sportsmanship. So, essentially, one cancelled out the other. It is also interesting that the Ibrox support is divided on the issue with many suggesting that the goal should have stood and many others claiming that no other manager in Scotland or anywhere else in the universe would have acted the way their manager did under the same circumstances. I believe that there is currently talk of erecting a statue of Mr Beale in Edmiston Drive. This shouldn’t prove to be too expensive as the materials purchased to build a statue to Stevie G are still available after he hot footed it to Aston Villa before the building work got underway.
St. Michael of Beale,
patron saint for doing the bleedin’ obvious! 🙂
I can’t see anything likeable about Beale; that’s the same with the cheating club.
