As is well documented, he wanted a huge stadium at Nissan, which if it hadn't killed the club straight away would have done so over the next decade's repeated humiliations.

We had to build the AoL to qualify for Academy status, So the ten odd million that could have secured us in the top half of the table was spent in order to grow a Premier League team of our own players. We've had Henderson and Colback so far. Only another nine years til the dream comes true.

See, you've got me started. I'm stopping now.

Ye daft twat. Apart from the stadium it had an arena. John Hall fooked up the building app as he wanted a Barcelona of the north hence the building of that thing next to the tyne. Bob Murray in my eyes is the only bloke in the last 40 odd years with a sensible sound futuristic vision of our club. Without him we would be goosed.

He deserves a statue outside the entrance never mind the gates.

Totally agree
 
Don't get me started.

The one thing I can never forgive him for is not even bothering to try to stay up during the 15 point season.

Everyone bangs on about the SoL and AoL but if he'd stayed and gotten what he wanted we'd have been playing in front of ten thousand near Nissan, if we were in business at all. He was pretty much forced into everything people think were his good decisions imho.

Someone with their eyes open...At long last...Well said that man.

There were other offers made during his tenure.

You angry man.

Means nothing. And yes thinking of his time here brings back bad memories and people like you who love him do make me angry. Its something I feel very passionatly about. Is there a problem with that?

Can you not even acknowldge the good things he did for the club? The club has kicked on massively in the last few year and if it wasn't for the foundations laid by Bob Murray that wouldn't have been possible.

You obviously weren't going to games during the time that Tom Cowie was chairman.

He's hardly in an exclusive club there mind.

Funnily enough, I think of Murray and remember our top 7 finishes. Superkev and Niall. The SAFC advertising in Picadilly. The 2nd at Christmas.

I guess I'm a glass half full type. Towards the end I was desperate to get rid. But time heals all wounds.

I have always said, thanks for the ground Bob. But I stick by the fact that it would have been another massive error to pass on the opportunity to build the ground and academy on such a grant funded cheapy than it to be such a forward thinking bit of genious by him. I'm so glad hes gone.

I've already said I didn't follow the club then.
 
It was never about making money, it was about developing home grown youngsters into Premier League footballers for SAFC. That was the line spun out when we were crying out for investment on the pitch at that time in order to capitalise on the good fortune we had. The making money is a fortunate and not unwelcome side-effect but ultimately it's failed to deliver on what was promised thus far.

Another decision that worked out reasonably well not because of Murray's 'expertise' but, more likely, despite it.

f***ing hell. :lol:
