Sir David Murray’s supposed interest in Rangers has caused a great deal of controversy this morning.
In a potential move that could cause chaos among the Ibrox faithful, former chairman Sir David Murray has registered his interest in potentially investing in Rangers Football Club.
The name David Murray alone has been enough to enrage Rangers supporters up and down the country, with many dismissing the idea without giving it a second thought. Some have opened their minds to the possibility of it working to their benefit, but for the most part, it’s clear to see that the cons far outweigh the pros in this scenario.
In terms of the positives, there is a commonly held belief that the money he would put into the club could be helpful depending on how involved he would actually be.
Unfortunately, Rangers supporters have been scorned one too many times, and their pride takes precedence over financial gain.
Murray was the man who was blamed for the club going into liquidation after selling his shares to Craig Whyte for a staggering £1 in 2011, and this seems like a way for him to give something back in order to clear his conscience. Morally speaking that may be considered the right thing to do, but you also have to question whether or not this would hinder the club’s progress.
It has taken a long time for them to work their way back up from the lowest tier of Scottish football, and it has taken even longer for the fans to invest their belief in Rangers as a whole. This could be seen as a huge step backwards, and it is all about what kind of message the club wants to send.
Working under the premise of him being a silent investor is a dangerous slope because, by all accounts, it would make it seem as if they have forgiven him. Murray always seemed to be someone who looked out for his own best interests first, and Rangers are better than that.
