    Re his city experience. I remember some months ago the bloggers saying that he had been using his contacts in the City in an attempt to raise funds for them although nothing came of it.

    There could be some truth in him getting the sevco job on more than his football knowledge.
    Definitely agree with that line of thought. A football-manager AND he's an ex-city of London wide-boy - for King and him it's a marriage made in heaven !. I'd bet King paid a lot more attention to the financial part of his CV rather than the footballing side of it. However, I don't see it lasting too long when Warburton realises he'll need to watch his back for life when/if things go breasts-skywards for them !!

    Respectfully, Warburton himself says that he leaves all that sort of stuff to clever people.

    Warburton was a nearly man in the City, as he admitted himself. Says he got close to a top job though...

    Oh Sevco forums are a funny read tonight
    Seen this on therangers media after the result were in last night 😳 The arrogance is still there.

    Naaa. Hubs are nothing. We'll win the league by 30+ points then next season we'll win the top league with ease because it's so bad up there..


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    I wonder if Warburton is the type to start slaughtering his players, dropping a few that did'nt do the business , and generally cause a bit of bad feeling in the dressing room.

    Hope so, Cav, Brog , Sergey, English league watchers , how did the Warby handle the pressure at the end of last season.?

    He was extremely loyal to his Brentford team, refusing to buy more players when there was loads a money available to be spent. Not something that's likely to happen this time around though. With respect.

    Someone at one of these banks must have a copy of his CV. He likes to embellish everything that his team does on the park so it wouldn't be surprising if he did the same about his career in the City. Maybe he was a Tea boy or a janitor.

    Ashely and the White court case - a question

    Presumably the court case raised by CW relates to the warnings made by Deloitte in the RIFC Annual Accounts of 2014. The action covers CW laying claim to the assets of RIFC. My question is, what is the potential impact of this case on Ashley and Mash Holdings? As Ashley has security over some of RIFC assets, namely Murray Park, Edmiston House and Albion Car Park, what happens to the security if White wins his case and it turns out that RIFC didn't own the assets in the first place? Does he lose the security and/or does he sue the RIFC board?

    Respectfully, I dunno, but I posit that it sounds complicated and reassuringly very expensive to sort out!

    I've got a pal in Edinburgh ( now retired ) who spent half his working life dealing with an assortment of companies based in the City of London.

    He is still in touch with a few and I asked him to find out what he could about Warby's career in the world of financial wizz kids.

    It seems the great man did work with RBS on the financial trading market , but not as a Trader. His job was to record all the trades done by the real traders and produce data for their bosses to scrutinise .

    Really no more than a glorified bean-counter although no doubt sharing in the obscene bonuses gifted to those cowboys.

    It would be nice to get hold of an old business card or CV to mock his much repeated City Trader status .

    They have a tiny squad as it is and can't afford to add to it in January. It's great if this is the kind of nonsense filling his head though. Bet Stubbs has not given it a thought.

    I think that's an apocryphal tale. I've been to Chartwell so often I could almost lead the tour myself. Churchill loved champagne but his favourite was Pol Roger. He received a case every year on his birthday. He also drank much more claret, whisky & brandy than he did champagne.
    Apologies you are correct it was Pol Roger and I think they even named a champagne after him. I remember reading somewhere about the 42,000 bottles. Did not know about the rest.

    Good news. The Sevconians are desperate for Nicky Law to get fit because Zelalém is hopeless.

    There's a great quote in there

    Warbmeister says "there are no secrets" then goes on to say (without irony) "if there's a question and I'm allowed to answer it then I will"

    #allowed lol (as the young uns used to say)

    "Splash the cash"
    What cash is this?

    As an aside I don't think enough credit is being given to Mark Burchill and his Livingston side who I thought were more than decent against us on Tuesday.

    Just stumbled across a story in the depths of the internet regarding that Nicky Clark who plays for Rangers.

    Him and his Brother, who was armed with a knife, were apparently lifted a week ago for a scuffle with Police in Glasgow.

    Both of them spent the night in the cells and will be back at court regarding the incident.

    Now I'm aware that the majority of you won't care about this and it may of been posted on here before. But I just find it funny how the likes of the Daily Record etc turn a blind eye to these sort of stories whereas if it was a Hibs player it would be plastered everywhere just like that Non-Story with Jason Cummings last season.

    Agree totally if that was JC it would have been front page for a week. Pretty shocking really particularly the knife bit.

    Maybe 'splash the cash' refers to pennies down a wishing well?

    It was discussed on here last week, and was reported in the press.

    I'm guessing it's not been reported in great detail yet because there is likely to be a court case rather than any bias.

    I think you're probably right, thing is tho it didn't stop the Cummings stuff last time.

    Lovely piece of brainless stenography in that article...

    next to the paragraph saying how Gers brave young inexperienced starlets might need some experienced backup in January there is a photo of Kenny miller, dean shiels and lee Wallace looking dejected at full time.

    so inexperienced and underpaid that - between those three alone - their combined wage packet is possibly more than all of livi, Alloa and Dumbarton put together

    bless ...

    What's the problem?

    I'm sure Dave King will stop by Ibrox on the way to the AGM to drop off a massive war chest for Warburton. It will be mere loose change to the richest man in South Africa but will enable Warburton to over invest in a squad so good it will not only win this Division at a canter but make Rangers, a team with an unbroken 140 years of glorious history, favourites to win the top Division next season and prove, beyond doubt, they are the biggest club in Scotland.

    Is that right Jim?

    When is lord Doherty due to give his ruling on the court case a week or 2 back? Last I heard was he was due to consider what he heard and give his official ruling in writing, how long does he need to think about it
