Bluedell 14 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 He did a lot of stuff well, and some not so well. It's not black and white, and unfortunately the poll doesn't give a sit of the fence option, so I'll abstain. I'm happy to accept the pluses and the minuses, something a lot of people seem unable to do, on both sides of the argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to accept the pluses and the minuses, something a lot of people seem unable to do, on both sides of the argument. Pretty much my feelings too. Unfortunately with David Murray opinions become entrenched. Depending on who you speak to, he's either the anti-christ or the second coming. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. In the future when the dust has settled and he's long since gone, I think history will be kind to him, but at the moment it's impossible to ignore the financial mess he's leaving. Any chance of bumping this thread in ten years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,765 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Showed a lot of ambition but we have paid the price for it. Ultimately, I think he will be remembered fondly by most of the fans (me included) but there is no doubt we have been mis-managed financially. We had to gamble to win the SPL title and even though we have qualified for the Champions League, we are still paying the price for it. Thanks for the 20 years Sir David Murray but the time was right for a new chairman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 41,909 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Don't mind what we're going through now and have been going through. I'm not going to judge SDM on that but just think this man gave us 9 in a row. Without him there wouldn't have been one. No man in his right mind would have put that much money into a football club without getting much back in return money wise. Thanks Sir David Murray for all you have done for our club and good luck for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweebluenose 4,332 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Overall yes, his reign as chairman has been littered with success. Now however is the right time for him to leave, he has seem disinterested in the past few years and I wish him well in his future. I would like to see Bain step down with him but that wont happen.

WeeTed 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Said yes. Had good days and bad days but as has been said already, 14 titles isnae too bad. Just wish he'd stood up for The Rangers as a club and for the supporters a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazBluenose1987 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'd go with the opinion of the 1st ten years being excellent, and the 2nd ten years being pretty rough to be honest! i think the guy always had RFC's best interests at heart though! Even though alot of the investment for the financing of new players never came from Murray himself, I imagine he would have had to use his knowledge of the business world to try and acheive the financing to take us onto a new level, both comercially and on the park! Who can blame the guy for that? I mean the Ibrox redevelopment, Murray Park and the financing of the Souness/Smith/Advocaat era's...the guy was maybe foolish in how he went about it but to be fair, but I truly believe it was done with the best of intentions for RFC. Il remember his time as a success, but I can obviously see how it could be viewed otherwise due to the recent troubles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brissybear 50 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes, has made some mistakes but 14 titles out of 20 years is a fantastic achievement. But he pure dun away wi oor traditions an aw that, disnae like the FTP brigade either FFS, theres some hings mare important by ra way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 There are very few if any Rangers fans that will argue that Murray's first decade was nothing but a success. However, the financial mistakes and mismanagement made during the Advocaat era, and the subsequent running of the club in the period since, has been nothing short of a disaster. So from me he gets a massive thumbs up until the summer of 2000, and a massive thumbs down for the period since. Dont get me wrong, he made mistakes during the first period, and he got some things right in the second period, but generally, you have to split his chairmanship into two to get a proper perspective on it. If he had left after Advocaat's second season in the summer of 2000, he would probably have a shout at being our greatest ever chairman. Unfortunately, in the 9 seasons since he is probably our worst ever chairman. Financial meltdown twice in 9 years is mismanagement of a scale never before seen in our history, and we have been through World Wars, recessions, depressions, complete stadium rebuildings, and moving our home, but never have we been so badly run financially than we have this last nine years. So thank you for your first decade, Mr Former Chairman, and I hope for your sake in many decades to come it is that time that is more prominent in fans memory than the last decade of your ownership. I didn't vote on this one due to being 100% in agreement with this point of view. His first 10-years gets a massive "yes" - his last 10-years gets an equally massive "no".
