‘One of the biggest names’ is just lazy journalism-speak aimed at making someone sound more important to sensationalise events in a run-of-the-mill story. Although Butcher had achieved success at Ipswich (who were not a ‘big’ club), but if he had won similar trophies for Liverpool or Arsenal etc he probably would’ve been classed as a bigger star. And the biggest name in football will always be Borussia Mönchengladbach 😁
Apart from the long term contracts Dundee United's players were on notoriously low basic wages.....but massive performance bonuses, strange how that seemed to encourage them to play better....
Although I don't think Souness personally culpable in this, his Rangers' team success with owner David Murray is still the biggest cheating scandal in British sport. That said, Man City may yet eclipse this.
I would suggest the souness revolution,along with bosman ruined what was a strong scottish game at that time. A league that competed with the best in europe. Scottish clubs abandoned rearing their own scottish talent for foreign players to keep up with rangers spending in 1986 onwards. Some of these foreign players were bang average and within 4 years moving into the 1990s clubs like aberdeen,hearts,celtic and dundee utd could no longer compete with the best in europe. Even rangers with all the millions spent were big failures in europe. Its a real shame that scottish football is dominated by one club these days(celtic),and potentially rangers if they ever sort out their finances. Its been almost 40 years since a club outside glasgow won the league.
What a missed opportunity re Dundee and Dundee United/Hibs and Hearts failing to merge. We could have had two mediocre teams in Edinburgh and Dundee, instead of four really poor ones.
The narrator claims David Murray bankrolled Rangers, this is utter garbage. David Murray borrowed £6m from the bank to buy Rangers and we were £6m in debt straight away rising to £89m at one stage....kindly explain how this is David Murray bankrolling my club Rangers?
Yes I agree the narrator's use of 'bankrolled' is highly inappropriate. Perhaps he should have said that Rangers success during the period where Murray was chairman was bankrolled by the biggest cheating scandal in British sport to date. Better?
No Europe fur Ingalend is why they took black money fi thur crown n killed Rainjurs awe these years ago and stomped on the Scottish fitbaw and its why today oor game is still in the dark ages
What Dundee United and Aberdeen did was unbelievable
We didn't realise it at the time, but this was the beginning of the end for football that we grew up with
Thank you for uploading these episodes.
👍
Was so sad when United never won UEFA cup, I believe if we won it, we would have went on to greatness
RIP Jim McLean
Fantastic doc, thanks..
That hibs advert WTF.
😂😂😂😂😂
Right Terry Butcher, never "one of the biggest names in world football" and he was not england captain, he was 2nd choice captain behind Bryan Robson

Kingsean P sadly they have been deleted on TH-cam. They are on Dailymotion though
Wellfan111 great, thanks!
All episodes are back on.
Souness was a scumbag on the pitch.
100% a cowardly thug. Albeit let’s be honest he could actually play a fair bit .
He was a cheque book manager at Rangers. Brutal everywhere after. Not in the same conversation as McLean or Ferguson.

of course he was culpable or do you think he was lied to? he had received almost 2 mil in tax free wages for years

Bosmann ruined football
It is funny how the media treated Murray v McCann and how their legacy’s turned out
What a missed opportunity re Dundee and Dundee United/Hibs and Hearts failing to merge. We could have had two mediocre teams in Edinburgh and Dundee, instead of four really poor ones.
These greedy bastards priced me out of football, thank goodness.
Murray vs we fergie thank lucky for Celtic they had we fergie saved from liquidation and Murray planted the seeds for rangers death later on

Jim Farry. Onion heid.
