Jackson puts the boot in in spectacular style to Sevco

Keith Jackson has delivered a machine gun attack on all matters Ibrox as a warning to Steven Gerrard ahead of starting work at Sevco on Friday.

In a brutal assessment of the club the Daily Record reporter compares the club PR department with Soviet Russia and claims that Stewart Robertson requires an email from South Africa before deciding which colour of underpants to put on!

The finances of the club are largely overlooked with no comment given on the loan from Close Brothers or Paul Murray’s shock departure but elsewhere the opinion piece reads like the work of an internet bampot.

Jackson claims:

A youth department that fails consistently on its duty to deliver players fit for the first team. A director of football not remotely qualified or equipped for the position. A managing director who can’t decide what colour of underpants to put on unless he’s told in an email from Johannesburg.

A board without a chief executive that brings new meaning to the word dysfunctional but refuses to give up any of its power for the betterment of the club.

An absentee chairman on permanent combat mode who also happens to be locked in a long-running feud with the Takeover Panel which could yet have very serious ramifications all round. A chaotic backdrop of internal squabbling, uncontrollable egos and personal agendas which all seem to come before the actual job of putting a winning team on the pitch.

Overseen by a PR machine that belongs to Soviet Russia.

And that’s before Gerrard and McAllister have even made it across the training complex and into a dressing room that is awash with averageness and littered with no-hopers, clinging for dear life to the kind of contracts no other club in football would have been daft enough to give them.

Damaged goods such as Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera who continue to take home more than £40k a week between them.

After the pain of Liverpool’s Champions League Final defeat from Real Madrid Gerrard clocks in at Murray Park on Friday to begin his revolution.

None of his signing targets have been snapped up with only Allan McGregor and Scott Arfield added to last season’s failures.

Those players were identified and signed by Director of Football Mark Allen who signed Jason Cummings, Sean Goss, Jamie Murphy, Russel Martin and Greg Docherty during the January transfer window.

After discussions last week with Martin Skrtel about a switch to Ibrox it was revealed that Sevco had offered the defender an 80% cut on his Fenerbahce wages.
