    Well actually ....

    When Sir Walter of Bothwell came back to steady the ship after the French debacle he won three titles in a row whilst the club reduced their debt from 86 million to 18 million. So he actually put the Bheasts from the East to the sword with very little effort what so ever.

    God save the king.

    No, the fact that you think Sir Walter helped bring down the club's spending. :laugh:

    Did Rangers debt go from 86 mill to 18 mill during his time as manager?

    :cheesy:

    Walter Smith helped kill your team, and then publicly gave support to men like Charles Green who bled the new club dry. The Cardigan even accepted a job on the new board with these men. Not only that but Smith also had an EBT, and was at the helm in 2007-2008 when the Huns' best players like Mendes and Davis were being paid in such a manner.

    He even wished "the new Rangers Football Club" well.

    Yet here's Aldo still pretending the man is a hero. I mean he is, but only because he helped kill the huns <rofl><ok>

    Jiffy thinks that Sir Walter, coming in half way through a season would know how each individual player was being paid. because that is part of a saviour's remit<laugh>

    Jiffy also lies about Walter having an EBT. Never happened. Typical taigy propoganda to try and sully the name of Scotland's greatest manager of the modern era.

    These ****s know no shame.

    Walter took a seat on the scumboard, that's true. when he realised the criminality being perpetuated on Scotland's most successful club he resigned and let it be known that the club was being run by scum.

    He also let his name be used when the blue knights who offered more money and a better deal than Charles Green but were thwarted by fraudulent ****s intent on bleeding our mighty club dry.

    This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    Not fenian fantasy.

    No.

    He was manager from 2007-2011.

    With debt now approaching £80m in 2002, Murray stood down as chairman and handed over running of the club to John McClelland. He returned to the hot seat two years later to spearhead a £57m share issue, designed to wipe out a debt burden which had seen Rangers downsize their previous on-field ambitions. About £51m was raised from the share issue, but £50m of this was underwritten by Murray and effectively transferred off Rangers' books into his company, Murray International Holdings (MIH). Perhaps realising the extent that Rangers had become a personal and financial drain, Murray announced in July 2006 that he was ready to sell the club. It would be some time, however, before he would find an exit.

    Later that year, Murray announced that Rangers had agreed a 10-year licence agreement with sports retailer JJB Sports. The club received an initial payment of £18m, with a guaranteed minimum annual royalty of £3m. This allowed Murray to further reduce Rangers' debt, which was said, by late 2006, to be just under £6m. This deal coincided with a turbulent on-field period for Rangers which saw Alex McLeish replaced as manager in summer 2006 by the Frenchman, Paul Le Guen. It was not a successful transition, however, and Le Guen exited in January 2007 to be replaced by Walter Smith.

    His second spell as Rangers manager saw the club rebound strongly on the field, but the initial expenditure to assemble a competitive squad saw the club's debt spiral back up to around £30m. Eventual moves to control costs at Rangers prompted Smith to state in October 2009: "As far as I'm concerned the bank is running Rangers."

    In actual fact, on his watch he took the debt from £6m to £30m. :laugh:
