davie_bluenose 20 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Murray has stated that he is committed to investing in the clubs short and long term future.Did he not say he would sell in about 3 years if the correct buyer came along?Did he not say to Walter Smith, when appointed as manager in January, you might be my last manager i appoint?Whe he said long term future, does he mean he will be long term, or just tying up deals such as JJB which are long term?

Frankie 505 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 davie:What I took from the meeting was that the chairman is committed in the short term and that will affect the long term positively.We'll soon see in the next 2 months. If he doesn't deliver, further action will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's the same old .....He promises to invest in Rangers future is the short term and the Long term We need to look beyond the Murray personality problems into what else is in the meeting...A supporter elected onto the executive board is fantastic news and is the first step to the fans running the club. There are a few other interesting positives as well with more dialogue to be arranged asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

excoriate 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 This is the reason why I'm a member of the RST.Good work on actually getting a meeting with Murray.If they are willing to listen now, it means they have to listen from now on.Also, by supporting the club and offering help they will be clearly more receptive to suggestions.My only worry is how difficult would it be to get a democratic election from all of the support. I'm concerned that this might prove too difficult, and we might not see it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just to say I'll be offline for the next few hours. I'll try and get back on this evening to answer any other questions.However, the best things to take from the meeting are as such:1. Genuine supporters representation at last.2. A lowering of the GerSave price.3. A commitment from the chairman (ie finance and leadership).4. A commitment to better PR and media interaction.5. Debate about developing the stadium and club.6. Further Improvements at Youth level.7. The Trust to meet with Head of Security to debate policing and match-day experience.8. Club to put pressure on JJB to improve their service.Not bad going from one meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
