Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 OK Its the silly season and I have decided to TRY TO join the ranks of those who can read between the lines.My workings:1. No deals in the offing!2. Walter gets a new deal!3. WS is tight with SDM - SDM sanctioned the deal and gave assurances about budget and asked WS who should replace him (remember they both trust each other). 4. WS says give Ally and Kenny a chance. "OK, I will sanction that", says SDM.5. SDM has used a 'proxy' chairman before to sort out tough financial issues and then step back in.6. History repeats itselfConclusion: No deals in the offing, cost cutting done and bank in line - que SDM saying I may as well stay (He also has no choice) - I'll give WS the job as I trust him and give Ally and Kenny a chance next year. SDM here for at least 2 more years.Can I join the Psychic Loyal: Reading between the lines branch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 14 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Or perhaps it was the directors of the club that sanctioned Walter's new deal and Murray had nothing to do with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You, i'm sure Sir David will have had some input into offering walter a new deal and indeed Walters decision to stay. They are pretty close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 14 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I think that there's a high possibiity that the current board did not require to run to Murray to get his authorisation to give Walter a 12 month extension to his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL SDM owns 90+% of the club - I would say he has a great relationship withthe board as they could NOT get close to it without his approval.It really did NOT take much working out that the ellis deal was a no go - people like WS and AJ would NOT have comeout publically and badmouthed them if they had been close to a deal. Also if you track MIM you would have seen lots of positive news coming out from them. Whether some believe it or not SDM cares a lot about the instatution of Rangers and if its in his power he will do nothing that he does NOT think is in their best interests - yes he made mistakes, who hasn't but no decision was made to deliberately harm, they wrere all for positive reasons and so it is again.
