No, that’s not an outbreak of Tourettes across small patches in the west of Scotland, it is the long-suffering Newco fans realisation that their board have been breathtakingly incompetent in their attempts to recruit a manager.
In many respects, briefing the media ahead of their two games against Aberdeen and an AGM that Derek McInnes would be installed at Ibrox this week, had the desired effect. The players were sufficiently motivated to out-perform Aberdeen, while Dave King got through the AGM on a nod and a wink. The falsehood of the assertion, however, will surely come at a cost. King will hope that memories fade before he has to face fans again in 51 weeks.
My immediate reaction when I read the ridiculous statement from Newco last night was that their hilarious PR system was at the keyboard while jaked. They spend six weeks targeting McInnes, then, after he rejected them, claimed this was evidence he was not up to the job.
An obscure phrase was used, “concomitant risk”, instead of the more common “associated risk”. There’s a fair bit of research into why people unnecessarily use complex and obscure words instead of simpler alternatives. None of it is flattering.
I assumed the statement was the work of Newco’s shamlessly-brilliant PR operation, but a studious CQN’er emailed this clip of Dave King’s AGM speech last year.
4 minutes 29 seconds in he states they should: “run an operating deficit, without a concomitant event risk that could lead to a repeat of the last few years”. Last night’s statement has Dave’s tones all over it. Fewer and fewer people compliment the emperor on his new outfit.
A big thanks to teams two and three in the league, who have damaged their positions and/or humiliated themselves, while Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the table.

Going back to the McInness debacle,
i spoke today to a guy who writes a column in the DR,
apparently Keech Jackson received a text from Del at half 3 yesterday saying he was going,
Jackson had an interview already set up with Sir Walter telling how good a move it was for him,
the Record was getting ready to go the full monty when news came through he was staying,

VP You missed out helicopter Thursday. Jeez we don’t half love a good greet. Hh
The SFA have been a parody of a well run organisation and DBBIA’s usage of the word ‘scrofulous’ in relation to the hun is apt.
Here is all the tenses for said scrofulousness.
Scrofulo – i am morally corrupt
Scrofulous – they are morally corrupt
Scrofula- he is morally corrupt
Scrofulamos – we are morally corrupt
Scrofulan- they were morally corrupt
Might have missed a tense or two, DBBIA can confirm.
Scottish football is morally corrupted by it’s guardians.
