Don't know why you seem to be taking it so personally to be honest mate. And I never said our 9 in a row was down to celtic being shite, not sure if you deliberately misinterpreted that or you couldn't quite get your head around it. I simply pointed out that Murray came along at a good time. Whoever came in at that time had everything in place for years upon years of success. The state he left us in speaks volumes about his ability to run a football club.
We signed some terrific players in the 90s. It's easy to write cheques when it's someone else's money you are spending. We also wasted probably 10s of millions on players that for whatever reason we never got anything out of. As we were routinely embarrassed in Europe, it could be argued that we never got value for money. I was 16 in 1999, I never questioned it. It's the job of the custodian, as you called him, to operate the club. As I recall, anyone who dared question him wasn't kept around very long.
As out spending everyone worked so well in the 90s, it was kept going even after celtic had managed to get their house in order. Bankrolling Advocaat for a couple of league titles and more European disappointment led to an overdraft of around 85m quid. Ebts, (of which David Murray was the largest recipient, a mere 6m quid of Rangers money,) were introduced to maintain a edge over celtic who were now turning over more than us. Fivers and tenners wasn't just a throwaway quote, it was the only strategy Murray had. Once he'd sold all the equity he had to King, Enic and so on, he started selling our catering and merchandise departments. The bank had to come in and take control of the club ffs. At the same time his own empire was up shit creek. His last act as custodian was to sell a world famous institution for a pound. Worth remembering that despite the trail of destruction he left behind, he made out fine. He's still a very, very wealthy man. It wasn't his money that went down the tubes.
That's it in a nutshell. A legacy is what you leave behind for future generations. He left us nothing. Maybe fans remember him fondly from the 90s because he was more than happy to put himself front and centre in those halcyon days. Rangers didn't sign players, Murray did. Rangers were a vehicle for his ego. "If you want to increase your profile, buy a football club." Haven't heard a peep from him in a decade. No reasoning. No apologies. No mea culpa.
Aside from the tragedies that cost lives at Ibrox. David Murray is the worst thing that happened to Rangers ever. By a distance. Good riddance.
