Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

[Keith_M]

Rangers public relations chief Jim Traynor was the subject of an attack by two men in Cumbernauld on Wednesday afternoon. (The Sun)

From today’s bbc gossip column.


A source told The Sun (https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/): "He was set upon by two thugs shouting sectarian abuse. It was an outrageous attack.

"The guy was minding his own business (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/95/a0/09/95a009d672920cd3fd8138ce36a6d7a3.jpg) and they just appeared and targeted him on the street.

"It’s disgraceful that this could happen."


Does anybody believe a word of this?





p.s.I switched the second link to something I thought was more appropriate... in case anybody was thinking that somebody at the Herald actually has a sense of humour...

[CentreLine]

Any party would be pleased to have someone who can get away with so many lies working for them. Definitely a good fit for the fake news and dogwhistling approach.

This is the problem with anything that comes out from Traynor. If this story carries anything like the accuracy of reporting following the 2016 cup final the facts probably go more like this.
On a cold windy afternoon in Cumbernauld, a couple of elderly ladies leave the store with their shopping. As they do so a rotund and self infatuated individual is barging throughly the door and knocks in to them. He makes no apology but in his haste he has knocked one lady’s shopping from her hand and her fruit falls to the floor. Her friend manages to catch the grapes and apples but an orange rolls under the feet of the fat oaf. As the old lady struggles she cries out “get that orange”. But as the words leave her mouth, in a fit of selfish arrogance, the oaf kicks the orange away. She lets a small expletive slip as she mutters “bustard” But her friend brushes past the oaf and catches the orange with a reassuring “got the bustard” to her friend.
They recover themselves and head for the coffee shop for drinks and cakes. The oaf, on the other hand, is so affronted that someone got in his space ..............much more likely than the sun story I suspect. False news is just everywhere 🙄

I’m pretty sure that he will match the deal they have with elite for next season so I doubt they have any rights to sell.
Either way, no top drawer kit company is going to get involved knowing that their bid documents would have to be shown to Sports direct.
I think Sevco are running on fumes just now and are searching around desperately for cash. What kind of amateur outfit looks for a kit supplier by putting an ad on their website?

Thought his answers were truthful and based on facts. The one bit he was not honest was why the administrators were brought it. HMRC put them in administration because Whyte had not been paying PAYE tax from the players salaries. Already a cash flow issue. He was right when he said he should have put them in administration straight away.

[Jack Hackett]

Tbf, they do indeed... Even though they only paid a pound for them

[Springbank]

Maybe Sports Direct are the ones who suggested to Rangers that TRFC should put out a press release inviting sportswear companies to bid for TRFC kit contracts?
As mentioned above, all the financials & other documentation would then have to be run past SD.

I recall a match between Juventus and Galatasaraay being played the following day after it was postponed due to snow (?), so I think that is UEFA policy.

More to the point, Hummel are giving Sevco’s legal proceedings short shrift.

Read somewhere that the Hummell story could be a hoax

[CloudSquall]

If they had faced up to the situation when they got back into the top flight they would have accepted that 10 in a row was done and dusted due to Celtic's Champions League / Europa League adventures during their wilderness years and competing with Celtic in the near future over the course of a season was going to be too much for them.

Instead they should have concentrated on a slow rise, within their means or at worst with managable levels of borrowing, to get back to competing with Celtic year in year out for the title.


Of course the hordes can never accept being 2nd, not even for one year, so instead they've decided to embark on "The Road to Administration: The Sequel" which I imagine will conclude next year when it will be do or die in an attempt to stop Celtic from getting 10 in a row.


I can only imagine the scenes if that was clinched at Ibrox.

The problem with the slow build is that they have a structural deficit on Celtic that can’t easily be bridged. Celtic have 10,000 extra seats to sell every game and they have a well established retail operation built up over many years. They are about to add a hotel to that as well. Sevco’s turnover is less than half Celtics even without champions league football.

Of course the hordes can never accept being 2nd, not even for one year, so instead they've decided to embark on "The Road to Administration: The Sequel" which I imagine will conclude next year when it will be do or die in an attempt to stop Celtic from getting 10 in a row.


I can only imagine the scenes if that was clinched at Ibrox.


If they had resisted playing the victim card, shown some humility, not been bought by glib and shameless liars, not hired Jim Traynor, and generally been a whole lot less obnoxious, they might have created a more attractive Phoenix from the flames story and attracted the investment to take Celtc on.

The constant ranting and claims of injustice show that they might be a new club but they’ve learnt nothing.

[FilipinoHibs]

With £35.4 million of directors debt converted to equity, £11.4 million losses last season and needing £10 million to keep Rangers running to the end of the season, how much are they willing to blow to stop 10 in a row? Will they make wholesale changes - sack Gerrard and sell Morelos? What about the long term contracts of ageing players? Who would they bring in ? How much would it cost? £50 million more needs to be blown for a serious challenge but one that would have no guarantee of success. Going to be good to watch.

Totally agree if they had come back and actually apologised for cheating to everyone in the game and started back not employing dodgy owners and directors who clearly pandered to the Neanderthal element of their support they might have had more empathy from others in the game. Unfortunately they can't help with the attitude of superiority and entitlement that club has running through its veins.

In many ways they are worse as they convince themselves they have been done over. Can remember an interview with the ex manager who is only referred to by his first name, Walter. He was going on about not forgetting who had put the boot into them apparently when they were down on their luck. :rolleyes:

There is no evidence that the money is even there to continue as they are never mind invest more. Could be an interesting summer.

They'd be bonkers to sack Gerrard, they've shown year on year improvement under him and I'd give them a 50/50 chance of stopping 10 in a row if he stays for another season. Unfortunately for the Huns I reckon he'll be offsky in the summer while his stock is still pretty high. :lolrangers:

They have to considerably cut their playing budget next season as things stand. Can’t see him staying in those circumstances. They are further behind Celtic now than they were at this stage last season. Not really an improvement.

Didn't realise that. Their performances against us, Celtic, and in Europe - which is pretty much the only games of theirs I've seen - are definitely an improvement on last season IMO.

Celtic have improved a fair bit since last year though. I think Sevco have got better but the gap is similar.

From Gerrard's pov, he has probably done ok reputationally so far but still has nothing tangible to show for it and no realistic prospect of the sort of money to spend that would get his squad up to par with Celtic's. If he's smart and gets an offer down south then this summer might be a good time to move for him.

They'll only sack him if the Huns lose faith and ST renewals drop.

They need to stop 10 in a row. Gerrard looks like he can't do it. They need a Wim Jansen type of appointment. With four years left on his contract probably a £2 million pay off would do it. Probably a global whip round of Orangemen to raise money for a Stop 10 in a Row.

The longer Celtc's run of consecutive league wins continues, the less impressive it becomes as it will only highlight the lack of competition. It'll be the same if they win the treble again this year.

So I can put up with Celtc getting thirteen in a row if it kills off Sevco.

There will then be another new club that will pay £1 for the honours that Sevco purchased from the liquidation of Huns RIP, wear blue with an orange away strip, play at Ibrox and have "Rangers" somewhere in its name. It'll even have the same knuckledragging bigots for a support as Huns RIP and Sevco.

I think their company structure will "save" them next time (if it comes). The debt will be dumped in Rangers International FC plc and The Rangers FC Ltd (formerly Sevco Scotland) will be sold on.

Totally agree 100% - ok it's not great Septic winning season-after-season but the up-side is knowing what damage it's doing to the Hun !. The average 'Scraper-of-the-Knuckle' will know, deep down, that his team will never emulate this and that realistically his club's future is hoping to be 'Best of the rest' - in other words - SECOND - and even that's not guaranteed !. Once 10-iar is confirmed watch the 'Loyal' prove that they're anything but !

The £11.4m quoted isn't what Rangers get. It's the total for all teams in the last 16 round. Celtic's elimination means that Rangers get the full Scottish quota rather than sharing it. While I don't know how the figure's calculated - I think it has something to do with tv audiences - the benefit to them's unlikely to be more than half a million.

Beautiful thread over on 'Loyal-media' -

http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/326762-theres-no-recovering-from-this/


'Psychologically, that dressing room has a loser's mentality. The big players in the team continue to fail to turn up when the game turns into a battle. Gerrard continues to fail to turn up when the game turns into a battle, not having a clue how to change things or what to do. Technically there's absolutely no question these players are good enough but unfortunately mentally they're absolutely nowhere near it. Teams know they can get at us and our players go into their shells and stop taking responsibility and passing the buck on to others We're utterly ****ed and there's no chance we are stopping 10 next year, we simply do not have the budget to make wholesale changes to this team to find players who might not be as good but have the right attitude and mentality'



8 lovely, angst-filled pages in and there's still very few disagreeing with the OP - is this the start of their now-legendary 'Loyalty only happens when we're winning' tradition making it's regular appearance ?..

Phil Mac inferred that government help could only be sought if all taxes were up to date and good. No idea myself if that's correct but it does give pause for thought.

I've been through the guidelines, and can't see any reference to it. That said, it would make sense.

Is Phil implying that TRFC aren't up to date with PAYE etc?

So, lets see if I've got this right:


The Rangers realise they can't afford to pay their players.
The players have either not been asked to reduce their salaries, or have said no.
The Rangers will be lumbering themselves with even larger debt than the massive amount they already have.


Is that about right?

Still amazes me that they got away with fielding players who were "improperly registered" and yet wee clubs make an honest mistake in the registration process and get hammered for it.

Absolutely stinks to the high heaven - 2 years for the Panel to gather the evidence and convene a meeting!

Sounds like a carve-up - The Rangers said it should be heard by CAS and the SFA Judicial Panel agree that jurisdiction does sit with CAS but that after 'consideration of the implications of such a referral, including legal opinion...' the matter shouldn't be referred to CAS!

Interesting words used, especially 'implications!'

Now, to use the phrase shouted out by Sevco and their sympathisers in the media, 'if they they have nothing to fear, then refer the matter...'

No transparency whatsoever by the SFA but we shouldn't be surprised!

Rod is up to his neck in the dreaded 5 way agreement, the attempt to land the new Rangers straight into Div 1 and the construction of the myth of Rangers mk2 being Rangers mk1. He may reckon he had good short term financial reasons for doing so, but from a governance pov, it stinks. No coincidence that Hibs were prominent in suppressing an enquiry.

They've had a decent European run and their Castore deal is worth upto £5m so that kinda covers the transfer fee.

Key words in the Castore deal is ‘worth £25m’ but this will be based on the absolute limit of shirt sales and assumes that Mike Ashley won’t indulge in his favourite pastime of rogering Sevco in all the Courts of the land!

I’m still very suspicious of this deal bearing in mind they announced a £7.5m fund raising in February to move into team sports, including football.

Also, let’s see if they open 10 Sevco stores across the UK and internationally, as alleged.

Finally, Sevco are still waiting to hear what damages they have to pay Sports Direct for reneging on the ‘matching rights’ that they offered to Hummel/Elite...

Didn't they produce their accounts up to May 19 back in the autumn? That contained the warning that they needed £10m to complete the season. Since then I've read that they got a £5m loan from King, the post Christmas Europa league games will have been worth £2-£3m and they've agreed wage deferals. With early season ticket payments arriving they've probably a bit of cash at present.

However, unless Park or some other wealthy fan is prepared to subsidise them for the coming twelve months I reckon the business strategy is heavily dependent on getting a big fee for Morelos.

I'd imagine The Rangers have already brought in a few million in Season Ticket money (I'm not certain but wasn't it about £12m last year?).

I expect they'll do what Hearts do and use it to see out the current season and fund summer transfers... then plead for cash again next season when it's all run out.

The pressure to spend big will be even bigger this summer, even though Celtc have an asterisk and it was never 8iar anyhow because league titles without the Rangers in the division apparently don’t count an that.

I didn't word my post very well but that's exactly what I was getting at. Any concept that they are investing 8m in an empty building is straight from the newspaper presses in Narnia.

According to The Herald, they're going to use the money to finance an upgrade to Edmiston House (currently empty) into a Museum and Conference Centre.

Doesn't sound as drastically scary as Phil MaGobin was inferring.

Why would such a new club want a museum?

Petrofac cup winners is a big deal.

I think it's the history of Govan.

Rab C Nesbit features quite highly.

👍 It's probably a smart move for them, and I'm not sure why it wasn't done before. Make some cash, pay off some debts, and have enough left for a new whistle and flute.

The pressure to spend big will be even bigger this summer, even though Celtc have an asterisk and it was never 8iar anyhow because league titles without the Rangers in the division apparently don’t count an that.

Celtc look strong and Lennon has a pretty settled squad. Sevco know they aren’t good enough to win the title next season as it stands. What gives?

Eh?

Is it possible that this was a demand made by MA to prevent further legal action against Castore/Sevco?

Just to add to the Castore / Mike Ashley conspiracy.

RANGERS fans desperate to pre-order their team's new home kit can currently only do so through Mike Ashley's House of Fraser.

But the Ibrox club have assured anxious supporters Castore will restock more shirts "in the coming days".

The new Rangers kit was available for pre-order on the Castore website before the club's own platform on Wednesday

Gers unveiled their stylish new 2020/21 strip on Wednesday as they embarked on a new five-year partnership with Castore following the end of their Hummel deal.

Pre-orders were made available directly through Rangers and Castore's website and the initial batch of 50,000 shirts sold out within the first 36 hours.

Now though, the jersey has vanished from both sites - with House of Fraser currently the only shop offering the pre-sale online.

The description states: "Stock date: 01 August 2020. Pre-Order this item today and receive your order shortly after the date shown. Please note your entire order will be held until all items are available."

Mike Ashley's House of Fraser are currently the only shop offering pre-orders on the new kit after Castore sold out

However, a Rangers spokesperson has told SunSport that Castore will make more shirts available this week after the initial 50,000 units were incredibly snapped up in less than two days.

They said: "The first batch of 50,000 home shirts that were made available via Castore.com, the entire batch were pre-ordered in just over 24 hours.

Go on big Mike.
