jcb 1,167 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He lost 3/4 of his wealth due the economic problems. He had over £700 million at one time. He ploughed £100 million of his own money into Rangers. Something Whyte certainly wouldn't do."He ploughed £100 million of his own money into Rangers". Could you be more specific?From memory his companies charged between £3-4 million, for services provided whilst his investment through advertizing (MIM) was £300-400k per season.

arm 16 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Tore Andre Flo was your first one!EBTs and then PLG.Ok I do not wish to play devils advocate but...Plg was a mistake but how is it really murrays fault? At this point rangers were already rooked but McLeish was arguably doing a good job of saving money but we wanted more success. IMO sacking mcleish was a mistake but he had no choice as we demanded more. Did walter smith cancel this out? I believe Murray had been 'warned' over whyte but these warning came from sources that had vested interests. And probably without specific evidence. Also even with the investigative powers of these forums no one mentioned it before the sale. Many were simply glad to see the back of Murray how wrong we were! Flo.. Aw comeon... . Buying (and even selling) players is gamble at any time! I think we supporter played a bigger part in the successes and failures than we'd like to admit.

derek1872 548 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Not disagreeing with this, but to deny murray didnt gamble with our very existance is niave in the extreme.I re-iterate, if I had 1/4 of £700m Rangers would not be in this mess. And I'm sure many many fans feel the same.At no time I have denied he gambled. In fact by stating that SDM chased a dream im effictivly saying he was gambling.Its easy to say that if you had that money then we wouldnt be in the mess. You dont and we are. Im sure what you are suggesting is if you had over £150 mil you would pay all the debts and we would be great. In reality though who is going to spend half there fortune without a return?

derek1872 548 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 100million of his own money, i think most would have called MIH money, if MIH goes tits up Murray doesnt pay anything out of whatever personal fortune he hasWouldn't MIH money have been classed as part of Murrays wealth?

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 FORMER Rangers owner Sir David Murray yesterday described his decision to sell the club to Craig Whyte as his “one mistake”.He said he had been duped into doing a deal with disgraced Whyte and claimed he had no idea that the businessman had previously been banned from being a director of a company.Two sentences in and we have more than one mistake.He sold the club to a cunt and didn't bother his arse making important checks on said cunt.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Murray I have been told is a Gambler, and a very very bad one at that.Arsehole of the highest order to be in charge of a Football Club such as Rangers and to sell it to a Spiv .Maybe he should remedy it and Pay of Ticketus and we the Fans can then Takeover.Maybe that will make amends for the Bigget Bloomer you ever made.Woooops a Daisy .Never even said sorry ya Bastard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 100million of his own money, i think most would have called MIH money, if MIH goes tits up Murray doesnt pay anything out of whatever personal fortune he hasAt the time he anti up to recover from the initial debts he owned in the region of 80% of MIH - it is a fine defination, particular pre-ressession, of any difference bewteen his personal wealth and MIH wealth and IMHO disingenueous to say they were different - he caused an issue and fixed the issue. He made mainy mistakes but his BIGGEST was selling our to Whyte against the advice of AJ and the board. (BUT some would say, from a BUSINESS ONLY perspective - and not a moral one) that it was a good deal for HIM - and as I trusted him with the future of Rangers I feel let down and angry that in this element of his stewardship he let us all down.

From almost scratch he has built up wealth most of us can only dream of - he did NOT do that without risk! Trouble with taking a risk is that sometimes it bites you in the arse!
