Phil’s latest articles are amazing.
First is the £1 million revelation which I wrote about earlier, and second is the idea that cuts have started already, with a senior member of staff having been let go. Phil also says bills aren’t being paid and that suppliers are worried because they see the club running to Wonga loan companies for operating cash.
That would scare you big time if that club owed you money.
Because as per usual, an Ibrox operation is pissing all over everyone and in those circumstances who do you think pays the highest price? The people who did nothing wrong. There are plenty of them already, and that’s just from the last time all this happened there.
Let me put it this way, every club in Scottish football save for the one at Celtic Park is being cheated by this scruffy bunch with their beggar’s cup outstretched, looking for handouts. Other clubs make do. They live within their means. This lot leech off the surrounding world to feed their own egos. They wouldn’t be able to do it if other clubs got their hands around the issue and proposed, and passed, FFP reforms or pressed the SFA on UEFA licensing.
Think Celtic would stand for it if this lot were in front of us, running their club this way?
Those days are over.
There’s no way we’d allow it.
No, when I talk about the innocents suffering I’m not referring to the clubs.
They deserve what they get for not having the balls to demand and get justice.
Most of them couldn’t spell the word; Aberdeen and Hibs were cheaply bought for a start.
No I mean the members of staff who will lose their jobs as this starts to bite. I am talking about the small businesses which are owed cash already but balk at the idea of pursuing their debts in a court where the club will name them and the hate mobs will start to form.
Sevco aren’t the only business that runs like this; companies which live invoice to invoice frequently stall on paying their own, for as long as they can get away with it. It’s not unusual. Most of them eventually settle their debts, but if you were owed money by a guy like Alastair Johnson, who famously said, on TV, that there was no reason Lloyds couldn’t have written off Rangers’ debt by rolling it up in the wider Murray calamity … well I’d not be optimistic.
Companies which do business with this club must be wondering where they fit in terms of its overall priorities.
Not high on the list, I’d say.
Which is scary.
The situation over there is dire.
Phil’s article says one member of staff has already been let go; presumably she’s in a post where they feel they can make do without her. But that’s the tip of the iceberg. Her annual salary probably doesn’t come near the average monthly earnings of some players over there who aren’t even in the team most weeks.
But the transfer window is shut and they couldn’t get those guys off the books now if they tried.
Instead the ordinary punters pay the price.
It’s the Ibrox way.
