MisterC 12,269 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 He's a businessman trying to make money for his businesses.Can't really see anything wrong with it.If Douglas Park was our Chairman, would we be angry if he promoted his buses to other SPL teams?Please god, no! That thought terrifies me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 This venture has nothing to do with Rangers. His company isn't set up to make Rangers money! Its set up to make itself money! This will be a profitable venture for them!im not saying its not a money making profitable business the annoying thing for me is should he not be doing more to help rangers fc and less to help hearts fc!?

G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 He should be making money for his company. That's how the world works.yeah agreed he should be making money for his company!? why not make money for rangers!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 How can he build a sports complex for other teams on the ground outside Ibrox? Trust me, if SDM could've made money from the ground beside Ibrox, he would've done it by now. He's many things, but he's not stupid.when did i say he could?

SDM owns a huge swathe of land round that area - he wants (with his company) to get planning ppermission for 3600 houses and the council will demand certain 'services' get built as well - hence a stadium (talk of it replacing Meadowbank) - parkes, visitor attractions etc. - It is NOT SDM investing in Hearts.

G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 The thing is though he could do the stadium without involing hearts just do a stadium for sru if hes so interested in rugby and well how can't he build around ibrox something at least to make 'Himself' and rangers plenty money so we can get out of debt or spend more time thinking about an idea to get one of his buinesses out of debt....mind you if he build the stadium and gave the money to rangers ad be happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm hardly an expert on building. But I do know that if Murray could make money round Ibrox he would do it!I just find it hard to belive there is no way david murray could make money for rangers fc...but that is IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 1) He's not making money for Hearts FC. 2) Why should his company do anything other than make money for itself and its shareholders?1.Hearts will make money out of this if it goes ahead.2.a never said they shouldn't make money! but what a will say is him and his company 'Rangers Fc' should try to make money. IMO! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Linton 107 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 They may benefit from a new stadium, but I don't think they will make a significant amount of money. And his company has absolutely no responsibility to make Rangers money. They are trying to make themselves money and building here will do that. If I was a shareholder, I would furious if they ditched these plans for less profitable plans elsewhere.No listen your misunderstanding me im saying if david murray and his companys want to make money great!! its up to them....but if he wants to take what will be alot of time and money and do that....surley he should also trying this hard to try make rangers fc money one of his companys? no!? IMOim not saying his other company should help us i know there two different companies im saying why cant he do as much as he is in this project and do it with rangers make us a few bob!

FlippinEck 3,705 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 This stadium plan, along with the rest of the area development has been floating about since June... the Hearts link must be recent and may not even be concrete, could just be people putting 2 and 2 together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

laudrupforever 17 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 He's involved in this project because the oppertunity has presented itself. There are no similar oppertunities that can benefit Rangers.I'm never going to be a defender of Murray, but the OP has clearly brought it up to attack Murray, regardless of the facts.By all means, tear into SDM, but at least do it when it's merited, not when it's nothing to do with us directly.

Maccy90 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Without Sir David Murray, our wonderful club would be in a far poorer state. He will retain control of the club until an offer capable of continuing the great stature of Rangers Football Club is received. Some fans on RM are in dreamland with the criticism they propel toward the man. In reality, the club is not benefiting him financially, however he refuses to bail on us by surrendering to any botched takeover bid.Integrity and Stability are needed for our club right now. Sir David Murray realises this, even if many of our own fans don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
