maineflyer 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 OK the guy has written a book, that is DEs choice. What I don't understand, if it was so bad with death threats etc. that it ruined his marraige, and upset his life so much. Why bring it all back into the public eye, it will not make things any easier for him. But then perhaps he likes the publicity. Perhaps he like the money more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 not sure the book is anything to do with the trust and I never mentioned them. The former Trust's media rep's book which in its specific blurb to the media alleges death threats received by a variety of people because of his work with said organisation isn't about the Trust? You may not have mentioned them but if you think this issue doesn't add to their current challenges, then I'm surprised. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David wants to follow a career in the media and I don't blame him for doing that as he's a person I enjoy hearing from. I wish him every success. However, he can't complain about threats affecting his life so badly on one hand then continue to do same the next day - be it releasing polemic books, podcasts or whatever. That lacks consistency. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what angle he's taken when writing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what angle he's taken when writing. I believe the vast majority of his book is about his experiences as a Rangers fan as opposed to a 'life and times of the RST' but (understandably some may say) he and his publisher have chosen to concentrate on the negative parts of his story as opposed to the positive to increase interest. That's fair enough, they have a book to sell, but as touched on he can expect criticism as a result and the Trust will take their fair share as well rightly or wrongly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 He sounds fucking pathetic. This is why I'm skeptical about any fan involvement in board rooms proceedings. They're not qualified to do anything other than watch football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineflyer 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Is there one shred of evidence (evidence) that these threats ever actually took place and, if so, was this given to the police and did they act upon the evidence? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking that comment out of context. Of course he can complain (and rightly so) but he's making it sound as if it was ruining his life one minute, then the next he's going back for even more via books and pod-casts. As such, the complaints seem pretty shallow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
