The Scottish Football Authorities have no need to waste their resources investigating their former club member for EBTs and Double Contacts as now men of the calibre and honesty and sense of fair play David Murray and Sally McCoist have both said categorically that nothing was done wrong. So that's that; how could the Scottish Football Authorities not believe these staunch upright men. However I think David Murray was hitting below the belt when he said he would give any enquirer who visited his door a right hook. Should the police not be looking into this promise of a low blow, surely to threaten violence in such a way should be against the law.
Walter Smith and Alex McLeish have also recently said much the same as Sally and Minty. All within the last week or so, some paranoid types might imagine this is some sort of PR campaign. Put me down in the Paranoid column.
They are not scared and have nothing to hide according to them, luckily the hacks are doing their usual shoddy work and not actually asking questions that require answers like: 1: Did you have an EBT 2: Did you have a side letter 3: Did the SPL/SFA know about the side letters They will not ask, not because they are Rangers supporting hacks but simply because if they ask awkward questions they will not be given any further interviews. It's blackmail in a way, and I can't really blame the hacks because in their trade they need as many open doors as possible and so have to play nice. In reality though, does anyone actually think Murray, Smith or McLeish's opinions are highly sought after when none of them have any role in Scottish football as it stands? I don't personally and if I never read another word of Minty's hot air and misdirection, I would not lose any sleep.
