With each passing week the Daily Record gets closer and closer to a parody of its once glorious self.
The slavish praise of Dave Murray is recorded in a couple of books with succulent lamb and internet bampots regularly celebrated on the pesky internet.
Back in the nineties Murray only had a fanzine or two to worry about, trying to control and contain the internet would have been a task too far for the Teflon man of Scottish banking and financing.
Back in November 2011 Jim Traynor and Keith Jackson were used to introduce an unknown billionaire to readers of the Record, Traynor escaped relatively unscathed but the term ‘wealth off the radar’ has tagged itself to his younger, over enthusiastic colleague.
Yesterday the digital team at the Record were presented with a fresh challenge as Companies House announced £1.93m of shares being issued to meet the March payroll.
In tribute to Jackson’s catch-phrase the crisis loan was presented as a ‘trusted cash boost format’, even by Record standards a highly imaginative take.
There was plenty of interaction to the tweet accompanying the story, while the social media manager will be delighted by the analytics it is another hefty nail into the coffin of a publisher that is bought by less than 60,000 people a day across Scotland.

They issued 7,719,652 shares at £0.25 per share.
This is a cash injection of £1,929,913.
Considering the last time their accounts were filed, wages were reported as £47,690,000, or £917,115 per week, that should cover the wages for a fortnight.
Uhoh.

A lot of investigate journalism going on here again from the DR. How do they unearth all these stories? It’s almost as if a spokesperson from The Rangers wrote the article although there was a lot of difficult questions raised as you would expect

Fancy telling us why? Have you asked them? Have you asked any hard questions?

Surely the @Daily_Record can pay Skintco another £25k for their premium admission to interviews etc… Help a fellow Brethren institution out in their now seasonal hour of need ??

And of course every time they do this Club 1872’s Shareholding is watered down again.
Bring on the clowns.
Was this the same clumpany who recently turned down a £ 15 million investment from America ! Who are the people in charge ? Cheech and Chong ….
