OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The video of the Boavista match reminded me of our former owner.Whatever happened to Lawrence Marlborough? What would he think of Murray now?Some enterprising journalist could, potentially, make a name for himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain texan on here was telling us his great grandson was going to swoop in with his billions and save us, back in march.Sad to here that.Although distant, I remember him always carrying an air of class and dignity. You have to really, if your name is Lawrence Marlborough.The news wasn't widely reported. Do we know when he passed on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,315 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 He was not interested in the club which was in a poor state.He did, however, realise that he had to make it attractive enough to be able to sell it, and gave David Holmes the money and freedom to do this and the result was the Souness revolution and the sale to Murray a few years later. His foresight to invest to make it saleable turned the fortunes of the club around from a sad club in decline to a title winning side in the short and long term.I doubt whether he cared enough for the club to have any thoughts about what Murray did to bring success and lead us to the brink of extinction.
