It is worth noting that the Delaware Crew inherited both Paddy and Kevin.
So, it is no surprise that they decided that their guys should come in.
At least Andrew Cavenagh fronted up and didn’t have a family member read out his diktat.
As his slaphead CEO was shown the door, it was probably not the time for a bad heir day.
From Honda Civic to Fiat…
In fairness, it started well enough for Paddy Stewart when the new owners accepted his revised wage structure.
For the avoidance of doubt, it will take some time for that to be fully enforced as there are legacy contracts to be run down.
However, the plan is clearly discernible to the attentive, if not to the suculent ones in the Stenography Corps.
At a recent conclave of the Sevco High Command, I’m told that the figure of “forty per cent” was uttered when it came to how much the player cost base had to be reduced by.
If that is achieved and the Ibrox klanbase continue to follow follow then the Americans will make money.
Moreover, I wouldn’t be surprised if the FNG is announced as someone who is “aligned with the vision” of the American owners.
Remember, dear reader, it‘s about the dollars.
Always the dollars.

Phil,
On another subject, congratulations to John Hughes and the rest of ACSOM for their induction into the hall of Fame at the recent Football Content Awards.
Thoroughly deserved too.
I can’t let “bad heir day” pass without applause, a chuckle and a groan!
“Reduce compressible costs by 40%” is a phrase used by consultancy companies called in to analyse distressed companies. I imagine Cavenagh is under a lot of pressure from his backers.
I imagine the payback period on the investment has just stretched out by a good few years. Cavenagh may very well have joined the choir eternal before then.
One can only wonder what possessed the yanks to buy into this pointless turd polishing exercise.
Just a pity we’re not doing something similar with our equivalents. And yeah I know all about the domestic trophies and titles, before the happy clappers start, but that should be like shooting fish in a barrel with the resources and advantages this shower inherited from the Bunnet’s legacy and the demise of our only realistic challenger. End of the day we should be aiming far higher than staying just ahead of the Tribute Act. We should also not have lost over £100m in CL revenue because their penny pinching and “let’s not sign the players we need to get through the qualifiers in case we don’t (thereby ensuring that we don’t)” approach made sure we failed the last five times we’ve had to qualify. And meant we had to play the following season with inferior squads, putting the next season’s qualification in even deeper jeopardy. And no, I’m not some entitled young fan that’s known nothing but success. I saw my first game in 1974 and have given people like the Bunnet plenty of leeway knowing what they were up against. This lot have had an easy ride and still messed up. I can forgive that, but not the failure to learn from it and the Groundhog Day transfer window’s shambles that now seems to be in a loop.
This could be bad for Celtic. They won’t see the need to spend big when they think that the rangers will have less to spend.
Music to the ears of the Parkhead bean counters.
Austerity or rampant corporate greed
I suppose it can be viewed as a form of “progress” that a Patrick and a Kevin were employed there in the first place…..
That may be the case, but they’ll be knee deep in the January sales 40% reduction section. I’d imagine we’ll recognise their noise by the end of it 🤔
As per…the BBC media saying that a large war chest may be available to Rohl come January…emphasis on large. 🤔
