Bluedell or another help explain.

So we're not talking about something new having to go to the printers then mailed out to all the shareholders?

 

It's a poor excuse if that's the case. The name change would have been known about or could have been delayed a few days. Can't see it.

Aye, you're absolutely right. Even if the name change was a last minute thing you wouldn't be talking about anywhere near a 3 week delay.

I just hope Whyte has the money. What Smith has to say.

 

"I am comfortable that the club are under new ownership and have got new management and are ready to go ahead. I wish I was leaving the new owner and the new manager a far bigger squad of players to operate with.

 

"There is still a great deal of uncertainty in our group at the present moment and a lot of investment will be required to take that uncertainty away. I could be leaving the team in better circumstances, by that I mean a bigger group to work with, but also the surrounding circumstances of the club.

 

"The infrastructure of the Murray Park training ground has been run down over the past few years because of that financial aspect and there is investment needed in scouting, maintenance of the place, everything is needing lifted as well. I am wee bit unhappy that's the case.

 

"Not just Murray Park, but Ibrox as well. It's not that the whole club has been allowed to be run down, it has had to be run down because of the financial circumstances and that's where, for us, [the chief executive] Martin Bain has done a fantastic job to try to make sure the football side of things was kept at as high a level as he possibly could keep it. He deserves a great deal of credit for making sure that's happened."

 

The ultimate acclaim, Smith hopes, will arrive at the conclusion of the SPL season. "I am biased towards this group of players, but they deserve every success they get, the ones they have had in the past and hopefully they can achieve again on Sunday."

Murray Park isn't that old, A couple of tins of paint and maybe some new equipment and then it is back tip top again. Walter no negativity today.
