Over to you Mediahouse

Posted on July 3, 2015 by exposingtherhats

This has been a difficult week for Mediahouse with what was meant to be a very low profile agreement between themselves, Mr Macgiollabhain and Mr McMurdo being exposed. In fairness to Ramsay Smith he has taken the recent setbacks in good humour, he called me last night as I rather amateurishly gave myself away in a comment posted to his Rangers Loyal website. The call was good natured and out of respect I gave him the heads up on the information I plan to disclose after refusing a lighthearted offer for me to “join the team”. Sadly Ramsay refused to pass my comment through the RSL moderation so I’ll expand on it today and will detail a general outline of the plans given to Bill and Phil for the next month.

 

South African foreign exchange controls – The “Dave King has no money” angle wasn’t really breaking through as the success of Micromega is there for all to see. It’s clear that even if Mr King didn’t have spare cash he would have no problems in raising finance so the new angle of he has money but can’t get it out of the country was decided to be more plausible. Personally I am by no means an expert on moving money out of South Africa and King notoriously plays his cards close to his chest so I won’t speculate on how he will do this other than to say Keith Bishops Associates believe he will be able to invest significant sums but not until mid-October.

 

Financial Fair Play – This was planned to be a huge line of attack, the plan was that Phil would kick things off with a blog originally intended for publication yesterday. The gist was to be that a previous going concern warning in Rangers accounts coupled with their losses over a 3 year period excluded the club from Europe should they qualify this season. Bill would then follow this up using his Ninjaman account helpfully explaining that “soft investment” of the sort Mr King hasn’t yet provided but Mike Ashley would have could have avoided all this. To categorically clear this up, this is a complete non issue, with an equity injection from owners clubs are allowed to lose an average of £10 million a year. We will be receiving a significant equity injection as made clear by our board of directors and with it any Going Concern warnings disappear.

 

Pushing the line that any unsold merchandise benefits Mike Ashley anyway – This will be frequently mentioned in Phil and Bill’s blogs in order to undermine what is actually turning into a very successful boycott. Like most spin it involves an element of truth, if Rangers order too much stock they need to make a payment. However Rangers have this year ordered the minimum amount of stock allowed under the agreement, I don’t know the exact numbers but my understanding it’s small enough to be of no real consequence.

 

Suggestion that Warburton was misled on transfer budget – Inevitably with so many players coming in talks will break down with some. When this happens Phil and Bill are going to report that their “sources” are suggesting Warburton is unhappy with budgets and feels misled, they would even hint he will walk out.

 

How Mediahouse will proceed now their plans have been made public is anyone’s guess but I note with interest that Phil and Bill have been keeping a very low profile for the last couple of days which suggests a rethink is underway.

 

On a more humourous note I just wanted to touch on Phil’s fantastic 8000 season ticket sales blog, followed last night by a wonderful face saving attempt when he claimed it was now 14000. These blogs baffled me slightly as the point of the Mediahouse contract is to undermine these sales, my natural reaction as a Rangers fan if sales were low would be to get out buy one and help the club.

 

The reason the logic behind them was so skewed is that Phil was flying solo on this one, it wasn’t part of agreed plans with Mediahouse and he wasn’t paid for either blog. My only guess as to why he published something so easily discredited is that he took a punt, hoped sales were low, delivered some “Rangers porn” for his loyal readers and it blew up in his face. I do hope this little lapse in judgement doesn’t cost Phil his stenography contract, his family have spilt too many tears already over Rangers.

 

As for Merlin McMurdo he is now aware that I and other more high profile Rangers supporters have concrete evidence proving he carried out the dirty work of the previous board. We dare you Bill, post one more lie about our club…

If this guy has concrete evidence of anything, why doesn't he post it and be done?

 

Secondly, if those were the future plans, they certainly won't be now and everything above which may / may not be true will never be verified. Clever, that.

Not overly impressed with the nudge-wink-drip-drip nature of the information but it does seem a reasonably fair take on what is/was happening behind the scenes. Not sure who the author is either and perhaps their intentions are good but also not overly convinced this will be helping the club all in all...

 

After all just how many people are interested in a bun fight between the RSL, Mad Phil, MediaHouse and apparently anonymous bloggers.

 

Best way to deal with all this stuff, as highlighted in the other thread, is for the club to be as open as possible about its plans and work.
