There is no doubt that his time at Rangers was the biggest disappointment in his career.Some hurty words? He made it easy for the club’s enemies to go and tar us with the sectarian brush and given his stature within the game that was horrible PR. He loaded the gun for mentally challengeds and other haters alike. It’s even worse when you factor in that some of what he was saying was lies.
But because he’s the probably the best club manager ever and people want to believe that we’re special to him, let’s just forget all about that all of that and his assurance that he only supports us to wind up his mentally challenged loving son, in favour of pretending he loves us? Nah, I think sweeping all of that under the carpet is a bit more desperate. He certainly loved Walter, but someone who loves the club doesn’t say what he’s said past and present.
Further he will have felt hurt over it.
As for the many books written, how much interest do you think busy top class professionals give to these ghost written reads?
The writers want controversial titbits to sell to newspapers which brings in the dough, and often will secure this with leading questions.
I could ask you leading questions carefully sculptured to fit the social mores of the era that could be edited to suit a preferred agenda, and it might not make you out to be the red hot Bear you really are.
Add to that, in the world of left wing journalism, especially some years ago, the club was a juicy target for many who used us as a political and social football.
Sometimes you have to look very deep to understand the social nuances surrounding even the most shallow of constructs.
Rangers have many layers of enemies because the club actually represents cultural and community values that others detest.
Ferguson would have felt very much at home last night, because he was.
