Yesterday, Mr David Cunnigham King took to the airwaves to “make himself available” for a leadership role at Sevco.
With rather unfortunate timing, it was also the day that Celtic published their year-end accounts.
As I have stated here before, the comparison isn’t just stark; it’s actually cruel.
I learned today that also yesterday, some selected members of the local media were briefed on an Off-The-Record basis by a Blue Room representative regarding Sevco Scotland Limited’s actual financial reality.
Apparently, some of these intrepid types were “stunned” by what was disclosed to them.
Moreover, they were told unequivocally that this is the mess Mr King has behind him, especially the litigation battles he often initiated but never paid for.
The appalling vista for the Fitba Fourth Estate is that they now know that your Humble Correspondent’s reportage on the Sevco shitshow has been entirely on the money throughout.
To give them another bit of assistance, they should really contact Hummell about the possibility of a letter before action on that pesky third year of the contract.
Now, if the hacks are unsure of how to proceed into the world of investigative journalism, they can always phone a Fenian.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mr David Cunnigham King returning in triumph as the constitutional monarch for an American private equity outfit, should it happen, would make popcorn futures a shrewd move.
Surely ‘Jelly and Ice Cream’ futures?
The only reason this charlatan would return to Mordor is to offload his diluted shareholding to the Gullibilly’s at Club 1872 whom despite watching their actual shares increase by over 15 million since 2016 haven’t seen their 5% shareholding increase any in that time.
Like taking candy fae a wean.
Superb stuff Phil.
Another season of squirming, greetin’, howling, and possibly 3rd or lower place!
Cheers 👍🏼
Again and again you show their folly of believing comfortable lies, how King gets away with this “White Knight” fantasy while dragging courts and litigation in his wake is jaw dropping.
I see in ‘King’ a chancer a charlatan……
If there is an unknown (US) private equity firm waiting to pounce then it will be when King gains control and presses liquidation II or their first.
Equity strippers will come in buy a basket of assets renting the ground to “The Rangers II” whom to pay the fees will have eye watering prices for season tickets.
Carpark sold and leased back, Edmiston house no longer a club asset and as for the Ex Murray Park, sevconuts will say “Never seen that coming!!!!”
Existing board are cutting cloth to suit, but, if “The King” is restored watch as he is paid handsomely for the club he professes to love goes through the ringer.
So correct Phil, follow the money with that guy….
Absolutely excellent journalism
Honestly Phil……..The Lyin’ King STILL peddling the “world’s most successful club” shite combined with the unadultarated erse-licking, “when are ye next over Dave” Jim White, surely has to be called-out by the owners of this and the other so-called “media” outlets, that they may enjoy a faint modicum of credibility. Acht naw forget it, they’re not remotely interested in presenting truth.
As always, Sir, on the money, or more precisely, lack of it…..
American private equity firm, will it be the mangle or the wringer applied to squeeze every last pound out of the New Poundlanders?
I listened to the Dave King interview on the Jim White show on TalkSport this morning. He didn’t answer any the question asked by co-presenter, Simon Jordan. It seemed to me that he didn’t always understand the question.
