David Murray Quotations

To our employees, we hope to welcome you back very soon.

We have put a time frame on it,

Let me tell you this, Alex will know who the next manager will be if he has to go,

We've been thinking about it all season. I think all five of the seniors will make the state tournament. I'm almost positive. We all worked really hard together, and we practiced hard. I'm confident.

I said we would review the situation in December,

Our revenue benefited from ... Champions League football, but we have, at the same time, controlled costs so that much of our increased revenue has come through as profit in this six-month period.

It has been acknowledged that we need a bit of a gee up,

The arrangement capitalizes on our strong current retail trading position and will enhance future revenue streams through greater availability and continuity of the quality and range of Rangers product.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Alex McLeish for his achievements, having secured seven trophies in four-and-a-half years.

Where we spray it works. We are gradually tightening the noose.

We are having a ball. And it's a treat to work with my brother.

What kind of hurts a little is that if we had gotten the $30,000 . . . last night, it would have shown really strong support from the city.

We wanted a sense of how much expansion was going on out of the dense areas that had been hard hit by eradication. We felt it would be good to cast a wider eye.

Every manager sees different things in different players, so it's fair to say there will be changes.

The results reflect an excellent performance from all of the business operations of the club. Football business has moved much closer towards a sustainable cost base for the long term.

The sky just exploded. It was debris everywhere. When it went across the road and it hit all the houses over there ... it was something you can't explain.

The sky just exploded. It was debris everywhere. It moved across the road and then it just grew, it kept growing and growing and debris was just everywhere.

Alex McLeish has enjoyed a highly successful period winning seven trophies over four-and-half years and during this time there has been significant financial constraints throughout the football environment in general.

There's a lot of cash looking for attractive yields. Spreads are at tight levels. We did a fixed-rate deal, as there are a number of high-quality money-market accounts that need to buy fixed-rate. We were able to swap it back into a floating rate at a good cost.

It's just unbelievable. It's the top of the world. You can't describe it.

Everybody must get behind Alex so we can finish second in the League. And the players must also demonstrate they want to play for our club in the future under the new manager.

If not, reluctantly, Alex would have to go.

I'll stand by what I said about giving Alex a chance.

However, we still believe the correct solution to this is for the Teamsters to put our people back to work and our offer out for a vote.

The comments are compelling and relevant. I would have used them, too. But it does betray some campaign distress, because they're willing to risk the backlash.

The massive amounts of money they're spending means we can't get out of the way of it. Every time you turn around, there's a nasty new TV spot.

The manager's departure was agreed in early January as Alex believed that a four-and-a-half year term at the club was an appropriate period upon which to end his tenure.
