Rangers director Paul Murray has broken ranks to openly criticise Craig Whyte’s attempted takeover of the club.
Six months after declaring an interest in buying out Sir David Murray’s majority shareholding in Rangers a deal has still to be agreed.
Two weeks ago with the deal apparently a formality the Rangers board stalled on Whyte’s deal and claimed that they were looking at an alternative proposal.
Whyte has never uttered a word in public about his plans for Rangers but Murray has spoken out about his fears if the Motherwell born ‘billionairre’ is given control of the club.
He told the Daily Record: “It is vitally important that every fan understands what could be about to happen to our club.
“The wrong move now could lead us down an even more difficult path. The fans have a right to know what is happening and they have a right to judge bids on their merit.
“Of course debts have to be paid. But Craig Whyte’s offer is weighted in favour of the bank rather than the club even though we have a debt level which is more than manageable. That is not the right thing for Rangers and the fans need to understand why I’m saying that.”
Murray claims to have an alternative solution lined up which will be underwritten by an anonymous backer.
He added: “I must stress I am not speaking on behalf of the board of Rangers Football Club but because of media speculation I am anxious to explain my motivation and the timing of my approach to the board.
“I am first and foremost a Rangers supporter who only wants what is best for the club. I am an unpaid non-executive director who would gladly step off the board tomorrow if it was deemed to be in Rangers’ best interests.
“Also, I had an open mind on the Craig Whyte transaction but when I saw the final structure of the deal in early April, I felt that it was not in the best interests of the club.
“I therefore believed I had no choice but to table an alternative proposal.”

Oh, and the “myth” has won 20 trophies
And lets not forget equalling Strachan’s record of 6 Champions League wins over quality teams like Bursanspor, Grasshoppers and Stuttgart, who did Strachan beat?
this site is nothing to do with me so i didnt amend anything, myth has 20 TAINTED trophies, not the same thing. some of them probably were deserved, but this is the problem, which ones? the last 2 titles were given to him to save ragers going bust and simply because of anti irish racism and bigotry, as for the 9 in a row, celtic were skint, really skint (not ragers skint where you can afford a 4.6 million striker) whilst ragers were spending millions of queen lizzies tax, again the bias against all things celtic played their part, as proven by jim farry. like i said, some probably were deserved, but theres no way of distinguishing which now, therefore they are all questionable. then theres wally myths stint at everton, nearly getting them relegated and being sacked, hardly alex ferguson!
just refer to levein, jefferies, butcher and vogts with regards to why your entire history is now forever tainted, and honestly it is a shame for the decent gers fans.
Tell you what scooter, show me where NBM said the word hun is sectarian?
The usual whataboutery, smoke and mirrors from your pathetic whinging mob!
the myth whinges contestantly, even about a mans second name ffs!!
NBM said that the name ‘HUN’ was ‘offensive’.
You don’t like it? F*CK YOU!!
Look it up.
You’re not in Kansas now Dorothy!
This isn’t the daily rectum comments page, @rrsewhole!!
You don’t get away with spouting pish, and everyone to take it as a given!!!
It sickens me to even think about it, but it has to be said.
NBM is run by a lassie, more or less on here own due to lack of funding*, unlike the Sectarian Football Abominations SRTRC, which is nothing but an sfa hun agency, there to make excuses for the huns vile racist, sectarian, bigoted NATIONAL SHAME!
This wee lassie started NBM because…………..Why, you feckin’ moron?
I could sit here and tear you apart all night!
But I’ve got far better things to do, believe it or not.
So rather than obsessing with hating Celtic, why don’t you find yourself a nice HUN site and support YOUR TEAM, they’re gonna need it!?
I know it’s a bit of an oxymoron, but you can at least try.
If you want to press further (should that be Fuhrer?) with the “HUN” thing, please do.
We can go all the way back to Genghis Khan, through ‘The Greatest Briton Ever’, Winston Stalin, right up to Barcelona 1972!
* we can assume (imo) show racism the red carpet soaked up all that funding as a matter of TOP PRIORITY!!
The point you dullard is that ‘The myth’ DID NOT WIN 9iar!
NO hun manager EVER did!
And no matter how often or how long you say it, IT WILL NEVER MAKE IT TRUE!!
Do you get it??
We expect this type of BS from your mob, but when you start believing it youselves……………..??
JEEEZZ!!
And btw, you’ve never paid taxes for my Giro, and you never will.
If only the more ‘established’ companies, in the country, had your MORAL attitude to paying Her Majesty Her rightful dues, rather than expecting the man in the street to subsidise for their financial inadequacies, Britian wouldn’t be in the state it’s in.
Only one angry person on here Max
Wonder who it is?
“So rather than obsessing with hating Celtic, why don’t you find yourself a nice HUN site and support YOUR TEAM, they’re gonna need it!?”
Irony your strong point I see
On the floor, laughing at YOU again
Max
You are not a great example of one of the self proclaimed GFITW now are you, Sectarian words, all those expletives, keyboard warrior???
“I could sit here and tear you apart all night”, you were shouting on your pals not so long ago
You need to get out into the real world
We dont sectarian nonsense that you are giving out, make the world a better place
scoot, scooter. go back to your sewer. have only 2 words to say to you; ball and bag.
You seem to be the only one on here mentioning being angry scoot, I guess there’s a reason for that.
Please explain what sectarian ‘words’ I used, I would be very interested to hear these ‘words’.
‘Shouting at your pals’ ?
Again please explain, or is it just more of your daily ranjur comments page pish and wind.
We really don’t wan’t your ‘sectarian nonsense’ scoot, but it looks like we don’t have much say in the matter as we’re subjected to it on a weekly basis!!
Aren’t the huns the only Scottish and first British club to be barred from Europe? Haven’t they just been fined and warned AGAIN about vile sectarian racist bigotry at the club?
How many times is that scooty? 6? 7? or more
How many awards have we had for our fantastic support?
And from who?
Compare the differences in the statements from cities like Barcelona, where the city council declared their joy at Barca having such a close bond with Celtic, and I think you’ll find their media refered to the hun report as “LOWLIFE DRUNKEN UNDESIRABLES”.
Or the good folk of Villereal, who started a Celtic supporters club within their own support, wasn’t the brick your support threw through their bus windows one of your shamefull Uefa sanctions?
Or the Mayor of Seville, who took out a full page in the Glasgow Evening Times to congratulate the Celtic support and to ‘welcome them, their families and friends in the future’, maybe you would like me to remind you what Chief Superintendant Wessel had to say about the hun scum after Manchester?
Here’s a wee taster “I’m only relieved I’m not investigating a murder’, that was of course in reference to the attempted murder of one of his officers that the world witnessed in horror.
I could go on, your scumbag support makes that very easy, although I must say not very enjoyable!!
And since YOU’RE still hanging around Celtic sites like a foul smell, I guess that’s what passes for irony down at the hunnery!!lol!!
Why don’t you try arguing a point scoots?
You know DEBATE, give an ORIGINAL opinion, answer one of the point I and other posters have given?
I’ll tell you why. Because you’re just another moronic hun, spouting the same old moronic hun bullshit rhetoric!
“I’m laughing at you”, “only one angry man”, Irony your strong point”, “fund your Giro” (I don’t even live in your shitty we country you mug!), “my arse” and all the usual hun BS, you must have been a real wizz at the old school debating society!!LOL!
Try answering at least one point, just one, it can’t be so difficult can it??
AT LEAST TRY FFS!
Why not try starting with, what you obviously think is an easy one, and explain to everyone what the religious or racial connotations of the word ‘HUN’ is?
Go on give it a go, I’m sure we’d all be interested!
Just read a fantastic report on the Celtic Hub from Fifa.
A great read.
A great compliment to the support especially when refering to Lisbon 67.
I wonder what they have to say about Barcelona 72 and Manchester??
I’m sure that wouldn’t be so complimentary.
So again, why don’t you go and pay your taxes ya shower of thieving begging scumbags!!
Ps. If Whyte had turned out to be the second coming what would that have made the huns ‘Masonic Mormons’?
Or just MORONS!! 😀
Maxy
No point having the debate on here, the “oppressed people” are able to answer back unlike the bygone days of yore.
Suffice to say, looking at your posts, your an angry angry man, some might say raging but your rage is nothing compared to what you’ll feel when the Craig Whyte Revolution brings a tseunami of change to football and takes The Rangers to the top table- again.
Enjoy your Giro, is it almost “payday”
Oh how I laughed
Mental people, absolute nut cases!!
Celtic on the verge of their 54th title, sorry 43rd, well done, not tarnished at all, just wait for super Ally winning the big one then youze lot will have no answers to the peoples.
Will leave you alone now its proved you dont do freedom of speech
Expected in the next 48 hours LMFAO!!:D
Even the hun board have admitted Whyte’s full of SH*TE!
Do you think, when they finally iron out all those pesky 48 hourly snags, Whyte will continue with the 750 MILLION pound reconstruction of the southside of Glasgow?
You know the one dodgy dave promised the most gullible fans on the planet, with the biggest bigotdome in the world, casinos,luxury apartments,sports complexes, shopping malls, ice rinks, roller coasters, Alpine ski slopes, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, herds of wildebeast moving majestically across the African plainsHO! HO! HO! 😀
I’ve heard the stories of ‘smoke and mirrors’, but considering dodgy dave didnt have a pot to piss in, how does it feel to have the smoke blown up your @rse?? 😀
Still crap dullards on the hun sites then??
Freedom of speach??
I think you’ve got more posts on this thread than anyone else, and still seem to have the outstanding ability to sit and type for hours without actually saying anything 😀
Outstanding achievement!!
Glad to see that the life of the average hun consists of spending hour after hour obsessedwith Celtic, hanging around our web-sites!
Keep up the good work!
And there was me thinking this article was related to a takeover of Rangers
How silly
you say a lot but say nothing
Your an angry angry boy
pooper scooter…. i believe the fakeover has everything to do with the run in, if ragers dont win this title then everything changes, this title is so important to what happens next with the fakeover. i dont believe it will determine whether you go into administration (that will depend on the tax bomb) but it will determine the price people would pay for the club and the money available for transfers, every rager throughout scottish football is aware that whyte wont sign until the spl is decided, and this is extremely worrying for celtic fc and its fans. the last 2 titles were handed to ragers to keep the bank off their back, we know the extreme lengths refs, the sfa and gers in scottish football will go to in their attempts to favour ragers whether you believe it or not. so the anti-irish and anti-catholicism is exceedingly important and relevant to the story, all this story is, is another stalling tactic until the spl is decided. trust me, nothing will be signed until then. celtic are in for one tough ride
“so the anti-irish and anti-catholicism is exceedingly important and relevant to the story, all this story is, is another stalling tactic until the spl is decided. trust me, nothing will be signed until then. celtic are in for one tough ride”
My god, utter madness
So scoots, do you think Whyte will continue with the SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION POUND regeneration of the southside of Glasgow or not?
Will we actually see the 100,000 seater bigotdome, the casinos, night clubs, restraunts, trendy wine bars, luxury apartments, ice rinks, sports complexes, shopping malls….yadayadayada!
Or do you think he’ll spend his ‘billions’ ridding the scummery of asbestos and that foul smell of damp, renewing the contracts of the few players at the hunnery who actually have one, pay-off the ‘manageable debt’ that necessitates a Lloyds rep on the board telling the club that they have to take any fair offer for any player they actually do have (watties words not mine) and just how much they can pay them, pay auld Lizzy her wedge, which could be over 60 million, or do you think he’ll just cut back on the herds of wildebest? 😀
Maybe that’s one of the ‘minor stumbling blocks’ scooty son?
The fact that being able to scrape together 50 million from any ropey investor that dodgy dave hasn’t already ripped off, JUST ISN’T ENOUGH!!
Happy as Larry your still obsessed with the Tic.
Do you not think there’s a wee bit of a complex there scoots?
Admit it you wish you were one of us!!
GO ON! You know you want to! 😀
Well tough, you’re way way to much of a diddy to ever reach those dizzying heights!!
So snotty, waddya think, refitting the scummery itself, including the VERY expensive procedure of asbestos removal and ALL the plumbing and drainage (that would include your excuse of a pitch), replace the entire team (boogy and the perv between the sticks will be gone, the Bhoys fae Lloyds will make sure of that :D), you’re ok on the management front though, ‘Alistair’ will be as cheap as chips, naw really he’ll work for the price of a few black pudding suppers a day, pay off whatever that mastermind of financies dodgy dave has left owing to the bank in his wake (40? 50? million, let’s be honest, it’s anybodies guess), pay auld Lizzy her wedge, that, including penalties, could be anywhere upwards of 60 mil, buy back some of the clubs assets that dodgy dave trousered the dough from, like merchandising, catering and of course the deluded mans folly, AKA the conveyor belt of talent, AKA murray park, that’s a FARE old shopping list, is it not??
It’s amazing what you can get for 50 mil nowadays 😀
Glad to see you’re sticking around scoots!
PAY YOUR TAXES YA SHOWER OF THIEVING BEGGING SCUMBAGS!!
Regards
The Angry man 😀
More words
Just like our leader in waiting Craig Whytey Whyte you’ll never get me answering a question!
Great stuff
pooper scooter…. whyte WILL NOT buy ragers until after the title is decided, the board and whyte have known this from day 1 and come out with crap about due diligence, different offers and even the royal wedding as excuses for the year long delay.
I understand you dont want to believe you and your fellow ragers fans have been strung along this whole time but thats just tough sh!t.
Just as you all choose to bury your heads in the sand when it comes to the bias in scottish football. the fact is anti irish and anti catholicism is rife in scotland as you well know, and that bias did result in ragers being handed the last 2 titles to save them going bust.
Now even if whyte does sign it will be years before your debt is manageable and next season it really will have a serious bearing on your team with wally myth, boughera, papac and mcgreggor all already looking for the nearest lifeboats, the fact wally myth is jumping ship proves he doesn’t even believe the usual bias will be enough thats why hes getting out.
