https://johnjamessite.com/2016/10/20/the-reservoir-dogs-of-scottish-water/ I had no intention to write another article today, but I chanced on some inside information on an exclusive that I broke earlier in the week apropos some liquidity issues at Ibrox. My working title for this piece was ‘Guardez L’eau.‘ With the roof connectors now so severely deteriorated that they are as secure as Joey Barton’s Rangers tenure, and a £2m water scandal coming down the pipe, one can understand why our favourite career criminal Dave King has been overheard saying : ‘It doesn’t rain but it pours!’ Is Dave looking to exit before the levee breaks? Let’s recap prior to the water metaphors running downstream. A good place to start would be the known knowns: Scottish Water (SW) have now issued an ultimatum to Rangers. The invoice which was issued 3 months ago, is for a total of £2,280,000 which represents £95,000 per month for a period of two years. If this is not paid in full, the water supply will be terminated within 24 hours. Ibrox and the superstore would be closed immediately. A £2.5m surety would be required prior to any supply being restored. One can now understand why it’s critical that Rangers relocate to Hampden in the very short-term. Of much greater import is the possibility of criminal charges, although with Scotland Police re-branding themselves as the Partisan Loyal, Real Rangers Men in uniforms arresting other Real Rangers Men is both highly unlikely and a clear transgression of the tenets of Freemasonry apropos helping out a brother in need. Dave King and Paul Murray’s £25,000 reset of misappropriated data has been kicked in to the long grass, but not at Ibrox as it won’t be growing high should the sprinklers run dry. Someone knowingly sanctioned the illegal tampering of SW plant to effect the theft of a water supply. This came to light upon investigation of a burst pipe which supplies a Church of Scotland kirk with water. When SW threatened to cut off the misappropriated supply immediately, Rangers pleaded ignorance and stated that the contractors who built the superstore were responsible. However SW countered that it was inconceivable that no-one at the club thought it strange that they were not receiving monthly water bills. Prior to the two-year free pour, Rangers did pay some of their water bills, but not all of them and never on time. Taking advantage of a church’s free supply is rather naughty of Rangers. Was the attitude at Ibrox, as was the case with EBT, that this is Scotland and as we own the police, we won’t get caught? I can see how one could arrive at that conclusion with the Partisan Loyal twirling their batons to the cry of: “Hello, Hello, We are the Partisan Boys. Hello, Hello, whistling kettling is our noise Rangers are up to their knees in H2O and we don’t give a fig Even if they have enough to float a rig.” Rangers are currently playing for time, asserting that the matter is in the hands of their solicitors, namely conveyancing solicitor James Blair at Anderson Strathearn. However this is not washing with SW who are planning to leak details of this debacle to the press. If Rangers continue to stonewall the situation, Scottish Water will invite the press to witness them turning off the supply and highlight the ‘on the fly‘ plumbing arrangements that Rangers have been taking full advantage of. Why be hung for a stream when you can be hung for a reservoir, as it were. The Reservoir Dogs are back at Rangers It’s interesting to note that Glasgow City Council are fully aware of this and are spitting blood. If it were not for their intervention the water would have been cut off months ago. Rangers reassurances that they are relocating to Hampden is not cutting any ice with Scottish Water who are £2.28m out of pocket. Will Rangers be able to find a £2.5m surety to return to Ibrox, or will the football authorities ease their path to permanent relocation? I get the distinct impression that this is where this heading as the bills are now untenable. The roofs will cost a minimum of £10m to repair. The water bill is £2m. The surety is £2.5m. £14.5m before a ball is even kicked? When are Rangers planning to inform us that our heritage has been sold to Tesco? As for the SMSM smurfs, they are also aware of this but are being kept in check by their editors so as not to upset the cosy advertising contracts with the Park Group. Now where did I put that umbrella? ************************************************************ If one wishes to read exclusives and not wait for the press to hold the criminals at Ibrox to account then please support this site via PayPal. I hope to procure another table for the FBA awards evening, but it will only go with a bang for my twenty guests, and many more virtual guests, if we bring home an award for us all to share.

It's just that the nearest church to Ibrox is in Clifford street half a mile away. So yer probably right. Some poisoned mind at work
Hearing they are in an ocean of debt...no doubt the buckets will be out (mon)soon. Or are they saving for a rainy day?
When i heard they were shipping a few goals this season, i didny think they meant literally. We all live in a yellow submarine We hate the colour green And love oor old queen...
This story is utterly mental but just on the fringes on what the nutters who have been in charge at Ibrox for the last few years are capable of.
A million a year for water doesn't sound right...however there are rumours that a few business in the area have been hit with bills for the same reasons
No matter the size of the bill, it'll have a draining effect on their reservoirs of cash. Hope they manage to stay afloat.
