Hildy 0 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The problem was this. Tens of thousands of Rangers fans put Murray on a pedestal. They trusted him to do the right thing: always. They never believed that his empire could even stumble, never mind collapse. They genuinely believed that he would only ever sell Rangers to an appropriate partner, never imagining for a second that he could come under bank pressure to move the club on. David Murray was the new religion. Whatever his faults, he employed thousands of people and become exceedingly rich - he even achieved a knighthood - and all against a background of physical adversity. He and his family will enjoy the fruits of his labours for some time to come. When we criticise him for his business errors, we should ask ourselves how many people manage to achieve such a magnificent lifestyle. Not many. His period at Rangers can be justifiably criticised. We were a one-man band and he wanted it that way - but so did we. It all went horribly wrong in the end and we are still suffering, but I suspect that history will eventually be kinder to him than it will ever be to us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSolace 0 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 David Murray is another example of what wnt wrong with the financial and property speculation market in this country. An absolute scandalthat he has cost this country in the region of 600-700 m quid and we pay for it and he keeps his personal wealth and knighthood. Confidence goes a long way .... Big ego problem too... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despicable people amassing large wealth isn't really a new thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
