The idea that he didn't provide Reidy with funds is a complete fallacy, propogated by those who refuse to see what's in front of their eyes. The fact is Reidy spent a shed load of money. If anything Murray's biggest fault was trusting Reidy implicitly and not keeping an eye on some of the many ridiculous signings he was making in the mid-range transfer market (the likes of Nunez, Medina et al).
Hanging on and only letting the club be sold on to a safe pair of hands with the future best interests of SAFC should also never be underestimated.
Exactly. Just look at the figures. Reid's spending was up there with a lot of clubs. Poor Bob didn't know enough about football. That wasn't his fault. He trusted Reid implicitly and look where it got him.
This will never happen again while our present chairman is in office. He can't be conned - thank goodness.
