We were doing fine till he came along, well for 2 years anywaySelf-centred egotist who knows what would have happened if he hadn’t bought us but it certainly couldn’t have been worse.
The very same fùcking scumbag who congratulated people for spitting at, attacking and describing guys like me as 19th Century Terrorist bastards.Made a fortune from us, having paid peanuts to gain the holding company of our club, ploughed other people's money into the club and spent their money with complete abandon, and then scurried off to save his own miserable neck, selling us, the fans, down the river and into the hands of other c*nts like Whyte, Green, Ahmed, Stockbridge, Cashley etc. at the same time.
I'm not one for re-writing history (unlike the bheasts across the city), but if I could, I would obliterate this bastard's name from our history.
He's from Ayr.No one from edinburgh should own Rangers,maybe as far east as say armadale/ harthill will do.
Would make sense if he was from EdinburghNo one from edinburgh should own Rangers,maybe as far east as say armadale/ harthill will do.
Alright then , as far east as Newton Mearns.He's from Ayr.
Geography not your strong point?Alright then , as far east as Newton Mearns.
in reponse to the guy who thought Murray was from Edinburgh. Reading and irony not your strong point?Geography not your strong point?

I just wish more of us had seen through him.

I'm the same as you.It was only after a couple of years of Advocaat being in charge I really began to wonder how we were affording the players.I openly admit that I was the same as most, who really weren't looking too closely at finances whilst we were dominated on the pitch.
It was well into the Advocaat era before I really started to become much more interested in what Minty was about.
Now, with the benefit of hindsight, I see his entire tenure in a much truer light. I genuinely wish that Souness had never introduced the bastard to David Holmes (who is a real Rangers man and deserving of all the praise that ever comes his way)
A guy who claimed he was 'duped' by Whyte, yet was an absolute master of the tactic himself.I openly admit that I was the same as most, who really weren't looking too closely at finances whilst we were dominated on the pitch.

The board implored him not to sell to whyte, they warned him he was full of piss and wind.
But he sold to him anyway. Then he lied afterwards about "being duped".
How can you be duped if you were well warned?
Lying cu.nt.
Murray and Whyte had known each other for years.
10 minutes? Generous. You only needed to take one look at the lady's front bottom.Anyone who has ever mate David Murray would find it unbelievable that he wouldn't have gotten the measure of Whyte from a ten minute conversation.
You'll have to stand that up.
Probably spending someone else’s debtWhat's he up to these days?
Did Murray truly have a choice in selling to Whyte or did the bank force him to?
I know he infamously claimed he was "duped", but that implies that he had some choice in the matter. Is that just a face saving exercise?
Murray gambled on us making into a European league, or at the very least regular participants on the latter stages of the champions League. It didn't happen so he underwrote the share issue that out us back in an even keel. He lost control of his property business, which was over leveraged in 2008. The potential ebt liability poisoned the forced sale of the club by the bank and the floating charge made it an opportunity.
Murray was guilty of being too ambitious, reckless even. I don't think for a second he's happy about what happened though.

Would we have achieved 9IAR and the verge of a European Cup final without his ownership?
I guess we’ll never know but I doubt if someone else would spent like he didYes.

The biggest irony is his Knighthood is for services to Scottish business and nothing to do with Rangers,you couldn't make it up and yyet he was duped. If anything it's the supporters that were duped. When he was signing players for 12million the alarm should've been ringing then.Made a fortune from us, having paid peanuts to gain the holding company of our club, ploughed other people's money into the club and spent their money with complete abandon, and then scurried off to save his own miserable neck, selling us, the fans, down the river and into the hands of other c*nts like Whyte, Green, Ahmed, Stockbridge, Cashley etc. at the same time.

The bank knew he'd lost the ability to behave in a fiscally responsible manner. He just lost the plot completely. Dragging us into his meltdown must be the single most stupid thing he has ever done.

Nothing Murray did led to us winning any of those nine titles - we were one of Britains biggest and richest clubs when he took over, with a team full of top quality players. Our main challenge came often from Aberdeen or Motherwell!Would we have achieved 9IAR and the verge of a European Cup final without his ownership?
