Leggat - JACK IRVINE....THE TRUTH!

[ian1964 10,448]

JACK IRVINE is more than merely toxic as far as Rangers supporters are concerned. Jack Irvine is more than just a spent force and a busted flush.

 

Jack Irvine is actually a liability. A £100,000-a-year liability to chief executive Craig Mather and the Rangers board.

 

Jim McColl, Frank Blin and Paul Murray could not have dreamed up a scenario better suited to their cause than the re-employment by Rangers of Jack Irvine, who is, of course also employed as a spin doctor by Rangers director James Easdale and his convicted fraudster of a brother, Sandy. Acting for the Easdales is just about his level

 

In fact, Jack Irvine is a man who is dramatically out of his time and whose gutter threats, while sinister, are also laughable. Has Irvine never heard of Leveson? Has he no idea of the changed and continually changing culture of relative restraint of tabloid newspapers in this, the near half way point of the second decade of the 21st century?

 

Does he really think that his thinly veiled threats of a sleaze campaign will work? Has Irvine got no idea just how tabloids work nowadays?

 

Apparently not!

 

Which is no surprise to those of us who know the truth about Jack Irvine and his career. For instance, did you know that Jack Irvine has not worked in newspapers since 1991?

 

Well, you know now.

 

That was when he was head honcho on the short lived Sunday Scot. A paper he torpedoed in fewer than six months with his bad journalistic judgement. Before that he was editor of the Scottish Sun, which launched in 1987 and never managed to put on any appreciable circulation when he was in charge.

 

It was only after he left in late 1990 that the Scottish Sun started the circulation climb which today sees it as Scotland’s biggest selling daily newspaper.

 

These are the facts about Jack Irvine. And they are a long way from the fiction he peddles about himself. There is a gaping chasm between the truth and the myth wee Jack wants people to believe about him.

 

Now, in the wake of the outcry about Irvine’s cheap and insulting remarks about the Greatest Ever Ranger, John Greig, a true giant, a real legend, Rangers chief executive Craig Mather, who was railroaded into re-employing Irvine by the Easdales, has today announced that Rangers are launching what he calls a mini investigation into Irvine and the email he sent to Craig Whyte, in which Irvine branded John Greig as thick.

 

That’s a start!

 

But it would seem by what he said in his interview in the Herald, Mather does not know just how hated and reviled Irvine is among the Rangers’ fan base? He will soon be presented with that evidence, as Irvine’s cheap insult to Greig has now hit the mainstream media and those fans react.

 

Jack Irvine is a deeply unpleasant wee man. In fact, therein may lie the clue to him. Wee Man Syndrome! For Jack Irvine is more Friar Tuck than Malcolm Tucker.
