All this info and bullshampoo is I believe coming from the State Aid Nutter (John Steven @pzj_1564) on twitter who has been rattling CFC & GCC's cage for years at enormous cost through FOI requests . The clown lives in NI and has been supplying info to VB's & others over the years - and they call us obsessed. He's now digging in to DD's Latvian bank connection and likely to be swimming in concrete waders if he messes with Eastern Europeans !

"That means from the moment his car pulls up in the car park this morning, everyone inside that building is going to have to be on their toes – players, staff, everyone". How did that pan out Barry? " The smart money says he’ll try to emulate the high-pressing style Jurgen Klopp has installed at Liverpool and I can’t imagine there’s a Rangers fan out there who isn’t drooling at the prospect of that". Pity there's no smart money at Ibrox. Steven Gerrard will fix Rangers from top to bottom and I can't wait to see his style - Barry FergusonBarry admits he is like a kid at Christmas waiting for the Gerrard era to get underway for real at Ibrox. Spoiler: click to toggle ByBarry Ferguson For Rangers fans, this morning feels a bit like waking up on Christmas Day. It’s hard to imagine a better present than Steven Gerrard starting his work as the club’s new manager. Excited? I feel a bit like a schoolkid again. I still can’t quite believe a man of Gerrard’s stature is about to get to grips with the job of restoring Rangers and bringing back the standards I grew up with. Over these last few weeks since his appointment a lot of people have been going on about his inexperience for the position because this will be his first crack at management. But I don’t see it that way. This is a guy who has gathered more personal experience of what it takes to operate and succeed at the highest level of the game than most folk will get in a lifetime. I’m not in the slightest bit worried about how he’ll handle this new challenge – I’m absolutely fascinated by it. I can’t wait to see the changes he makes and the way he goes about bringing Rangers up to the kind of levels he demands. Who else will come in with him? Who will be the first out of the door? And most importantly, what brand of football is he going to play? Right now it’s a guessing a game because no one can say with any certainty what his philosophy will be. The smart money says he’ll try to emulate the high-pressing style Jurgen Klopp has installed at Liverpool and I can’t imagine there’s a Rangers fan out there who isn’t drooling at the prospect of that. I wish the first game of pre-season was this afternoon, I’m so excited to see it for myself. And it’s not just what he does inside the first-team dressing room. Today’s Rangers is a very different football club from the one I always knew. It saddens me to admit standards have been allowed to slip in every department of the football operation. I’ve watched it happening from afar over these last few years and I find it hard to recognise the club I left behind. But there is no doubt in my mind Gerrard and Gary McAllister are the men to fix it. Gerrard looks to me like the kind of guy who will not focus only on first-team affairs. He’ll want to be the kind of manager who is in control of the entire club – and that’s exactly the way it should be. That means from the moment his car pulls up in the car park this morning, everyone inside that building is going to have to be on their toes – players, staff, everyone. There are a lot of people holding positions in there who like the idea of representing Rangers but who don’t have the first clue what it really means. I can’t imagine they’ll last long under Gerrard and McAllister. There was a feeling some of the previous managers were just happy to be there. I remember meeting with Pedro Caixinha not long after he got the job. I left thinking to myself the guy could hardly believe he’d managed to pull it off. But there’s no doubting the credentials of Gerrard and McAllister. These are proper football men who know exactly what is required at the highest level. It may be their first day in the job but they already know more about what it means to represent a club like Rangers than a lot of folk who’ve been inside the place over the last few years. It kills me to say it but there’s a feeling things have been allowed to become a bit lazy and complacent. There are people who take being at Rangers for granted. Even worse there are others who think the club owes them a living. I don’t expect Gerrard will stand for any of that. So there will be a lot of players in that dressing room who will need to raise their games dramatically if they want to hang around under the new management team. But the same rule will apply all across the training complex, in all areas and all aspects of the club. Gerrard will raise the bar for all of them. I’ve heard some fans talk about the possibility of him pulling the boots back on once he’s assessed the rest of the squad. Even at 37 he’d probably be head and shoulders above every other player in his dressing room. In fact there’s a good chance he’d be the best player in the whole country. I understand why Rangers fans would love to see him out there wearing that shirt. But I hope it doesn’t happen. When I took the manager’s job at Blackpool I was at a similar age. I’d just had an operation and the surgeon had warned me it was time to give it up if I wanted to be healthy enough enjoy the later years of my life. But things were going badly for the team and we were in danger of relegation and I couldn’t help myself. Next thing I knew I was naming myself in the starting 11 for two games. After them I felt like I just played 200 games. I’d only been out for five months. Gerrard retired a year and half ago. Even after that I did it again when I took over at Clyde. I played for 45 minutes against Annan but I knew after 10 I’d made a terrible mistake. My body wouldn’t do what I was telling it to and that wasn’t fair on the team or the fans. Most importantly, it wasn’t fair on myself. So I don’t think it would be the right thing for Gerrard to do. When I was only 18 or 19 older pros used to say to me, “Your body will tell you when it’s time to quit”. I’d look at them as if they were half daft. “Your body doesn’t f*****g talk!” But now I understand exactly what they meant and Gerrard knew it 18 months ago when he called it a day at LA Galaxy. Yes, he could still be the best player in Scotland by a country mile. But I think he’ll put all his efforts into trying to be the best manager. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steven-gerrard-fix-rangers-top-12629678 I suggest everyone keeps a copy of that moonbeam , it will be invaluable when the fun inevitably starts .

I don't think King understands 'conflict of interest', and simply quoting paragraphs out of context doesn't validate a misguided view; at first glance, I'm pretty sure one of the sections cited relates to the SPFL dealing with external companies.

So many questions from that Ferguson article.
Gerrard will control the entire club - they have a director of football
His experience is greater than most have in a lifetime - I'm sure Barry's experience was much more than the guys at Clyde and he was still a rotten manager.
He thought Pedro was a blagged not long after he was appointed - did he call this out?
Stupid bastard
