Alastair Johnston has pleaded with Andrew Cavenagh not to screw things up.
The veteran blazer chaser has served in various Ibrox boards and watched every single one of them fall into second place to Celtic or worse.
Johnston was supposed to bring in investment from the North American bears but was left helpless as Craig Whyte rolled a pound coin into the sweaty palm of Dave Murray.
Once that deal was done and Johnston had his brogues removed he started to squeal, a few years later he was back on board under Dave King.
Absolutely nothing is known about Cavenagh and his plans other than sugary soundbites delivered in a Disney-like accent.
Losses of £25m are expected for the year ending on Monday, Cavenagh has a secret plan to cut losses, deliver success and turn around a profit.
With Jane Lewis asking the questions today there was never any prospect of answers coming up as the messengers drooled over the prospect of ending Celtic’s domination.

My sense right now is this is all about opportunity. We’ve got a great opportunity here, let’s not screw it up in terms of doing the wrong thing with the wrong people or whatever.
And believing in a combination of our history, but also recognising that the world turns and we need to adapt new ideas and new thoughts.
And I think, as I said, over the last six months I’ve become increasingly positive about the opportunity. It’s now a question of delivering
Four weeks tomorrow Panathinaikos visit Ibrox for a Champions League second round tie- with almost all of last season’s serial losers expected to be involved in Russell’s low-key Revolution!
What is Johnston talking about? Opportunity?
It was an opportunity for Charles Green, Easdale, Bennet, Park etc…they took what they could out of it and it looks like the 49ers will be doing the same with that paltry investment.

Fk me, was Alistair up all night on the gear–he makes Ronnie wood & the other stoners look young…
Word for today is”opportoonitty”. That’s “opportoonitty”. Got that gullibillies???
Barry bawbag… Listen
Tavernier.. disappointed.
Alastair… Opportunity.
Johnston looks as if he was getting interviewed outside the Copland Hotel before he was going back in to ask for his key for his room.
Now on to the 2 signings that are in the pipeline should they go through,Arrons is onloan but a £15 million asset and Billy Oceans stuntman Poku apparently he’s a freebie but can be sold on for £30 million bang bangs.
£45 million quid they in their squad with a dime being spent from Yanks.
Wonder how much his shares cost them !
With Johnston put Wurzel Gummudge into the washing with Compo from Last Of The Summer Wine and out pops Johnston.
Needs to go to Turkey and get his top plate glued in.
Lol auld Tenalady Spew Heevins sorry Tenamen they now have the pants that you sit and pish yourself in for men now has written an article backing up ALKIE CHOPS aka John Bomber(Buckfast)Brown and using the word corrupt from end of season game against Hibs.
This is the same auld FART that takes the huff on SSB on the moan-in when a Celtic support calls that show highlighting corruption in the game with a ref drinking in sevco pub after he has reffed a game Celtic took part in or even the ref in charge of a sevco v Celtic game,apparently the caller gets called PARANOID,but with Brown just a bit of banter.
I see A Johnston admits a “combination of our history”, at least he seems to admit sevco are a new klub .
Didn’t realise that Johnston was still involved with RIFC: what did he actually do?
Guess CEO Paddy will be stepping down in due course as well…?
And is this the calm before the storm? When the bears – eventually – realise that the SMSM has been
spinning moonbeams about sevco – yet again – they’re going to be frothing at the mouth for the rest of the season! 🙂
That top photo was very telling. The two new guys seem to be sharing a regular handshake. Ffs, they need to get with the programme. No doubt plenty of peepul at Ibrox, will be more than willing to show them a few different types of handshake.
Hail Hail.
