Paul Murray Exclusive Interview


Recommended Posts

There was some worrying signs in that interview that there's not a hell of a lot of fresh ideas swilling about in pm' s head. I fear he will be swayed by the workerforce rather than be a strong visionary leader. Hope I'm wrong.

Given PM and DK were part of the SDM regime I'm not sure what expectations I have. Obviously infinitely better than where we were before though.

"and says the board have already started to implement plans for next season."

 

that's the bit everyone should be paying attention to. Dont think there will be many happy bears when we all discover what that refers to

 

It's a hell of a lot better than we have had previously. I can understand your frustration, it would have been good if they had been able to implement plans straight away, but to my mind it is unrealistic to expect them to do as such without inspecting the books first.

 

I'm a bit wary myself about some of what's been said, and expected them to be clearer on their plans for scouting, youth etc. but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, because I am certain they will do their best. Whether it will be enough, only time will tell.

To be slightly fair to PM what he wants to do is not the same as what he can afford to do, simply put the investment on offer is not enough at this moment in time in the short to medium term, to meet fan expectations. Agree they have the best of intentions but it seems like those intentions do not go all the way to the bank for some(for some it does), or as far as their preaching goes. Others want security that we basically do not have to offer which is understandable in context. The old between a rock and a hard place.

 

What i hear is we are aiming to use the euro money as our long term strategy, for me a complete joke that helped get us in this mess in the first place. Euro money for me should be seen as nothing more than a bonus to be spent when and if it appears on infrastructure to push us into other new revenues streams, not be the backbone of team recruitment.

 

Again its far better than before but is a new set of problems all be it with far less harmful consequences than having MA running things.

 

the money from fans groups will go to upgrades at Ibrox if agreement is found

the share issue income will be held to cover the deficit for the next two years until season ticket monies and merchandise income can be better estimated and balanced for the incoming years.

Further short term investment will be required to cover the bills until st money covers through to the share issue if there is one mid july (ish)

 

 

another season with the same basic team with some free transfers to supplement those not offered new contracts with Mccall as manager, going to be a long year. Scouting will be nothing more than the old players advising route, Murray park will continue as it has previously with no real changes that will excite the fans. No director of football or management team will be sought.

 

Season ticket time will bring with it the new pr strategy of putting scouting and player recruitment in the hands of the fans, we need you to help us etc

I know a few people from within the club and a couple who work closely ,who tell me most of it and from listening to what's not been said along with what is being said. add it all together and cut out the chaff and rhetoric by measuring against actions we can all see taking place . PM's interview style is basically quite honest when you know a little background of what's going on. He tells the truth but is quiet skilled at making it sound all positive and what was agreed, while coming across as not a very skilled orator. If you listen back to his interview you will hear its all there but emphasis is put on positive future happenings to counter act any negative answer

Mccall will stay as manager (was always going to be the case.)

several of the out of contract players are being offered new contracts as we speak.

a few free signings are expected to the squad with the budget increased

no scouting this year or next other than old boys network(nothing structural wise done on this)

king not putting in any money unless passed fit and proper

has been a falling out over covering the initial costs.

king wants to de list others don't has left plans up in air

no transfer budget this coming season

season ticket price will be same no matter the league we are in

there will be no major changes at murray park

The funding raised through the share issue if it happens mid july(ish) will be used to cover the deficit for two years

the major changes to playing squad and scouting will happen once we secure euro money

the fans groups will be asked to help finance the upgrade of ibrox

 

basically nothing new is happening in the next two years other than trying to divert another 15% to the wage budget for the first team.
