Sevco’s merchandise torpedo threatens to sink them

Sevco signed several deals in good faith with Mike Ashley, to pawn their stadiums naming rights and also to pull a few pence in the quid for their deluded star laden jersey.

Unfortunately MASH didn’t rename the asbestosdome Sports Direct, he did however maintain a strangle hold on Sevco’s retail division.

As the clock ticks towards Sevco’s end of year accounts, the facts are that the deluded are either going to have to go and buy the top of the will be Premiership first timers or pay for the merchandise to be pulped in humiliating circumstances.

There is a lot of smoke and mirrors about all things that emanate from Ibrox and whilst the SMSM maintain their Joseph Barton gobshitefest we can be sure that they don’t want any serious questions asked.

There is a lot of focus (and rightly so among Bampots) on the imminent departure of the Magic Hat from Govan, but there is a subtext to his silence and the motives behind it.

The City trader is not daft, he has spoken of how he used to move millions in a day in his former job. Oh how he must wish he could spend a fraction of what he once speculated between breakfast and lunch on a player who wasn’t a Bosman.

Mike Ashley has multiple court cases against the tribute act and with pockets as deep as the Atlantic and a chin made of granite, you can be assured he will turn the knife wherever possible.

So what could he do to destroy the Newco?

Simply, when we find out how much Sevco have to pay back we can then times that by 7 as that is the length of the watertight contract MASH holds with Sevco.

Should Mike decide that he actually wants to up production of The Rangers jersey with its 5 stars to recognise their 5th year in existence, then he could put the Shame in a position of buy it or i will bankrupt you.

Upping production to the maximum levels of the watertight contract (if such a ceiling exits) he holds with the Newco would mean that he can simply do the math, how much is their entire economic capacity?

Print 1 jersey more than that and then throw the gauntlet down, buy them or die.

He is within his rights to claim what is contractually his. This is not merely the view of Bampots or the SMSM, this is the openly understood and widely received truth.

It has been reported many times and quoted by all sections of the debate, including those who are holding impromptu markets selling merchandise either as old or fake as their trophy list.

What ceiling has been put on the merchandise deal is anyone’s guess.

My bet is that no ceiling exists. Think of it?

When the Newco undersold their merchandise they would want as many sales as possible. Any other conclusion from the world record holding peepul wouldn’t gel with the ongoing narrative of their superiority to all and sundry.

Let us be clear, the reason the Shame are upset is that this erroneous contract has actually been made public. There are many other ridiculous contracts that threaten to sink Sevco, maybe that”s why all the talk is on Warbo doing walking away.

Couldn’t blame him if he did, but lets hope he stays. The last thing we need is Sevco hiring someone with the ability to take down the Rodgers Revolution.
