"Richard Alan Murray" is a British businessman. He has been the chairman of Charlton Athletic F.C. on several occasions since the 1990s.

Murray founded Avesco plc, the specialist services provider to the entertainment & sports industry in 1984, where he was Chairman for almost 20 years; he is the Chairman of Investinmedia plc and has other non-executive directorships which include Welsh Industrial Investment Trust plc and Medal Entertainment and Media plc.

Murray first started watching Charlton Athletic F.C. during the 1980s when the club was playing its home games at Selhurst Park as the club's ground, The Valley (London)/The Valley, had been forcibly closed. He joined the board of Charlton in the early 1990s and is credited with helping the club return to The Valley in 1992. He became chairman of the public limited company/plc board at Charlton in 1995, after which he appointed Alan Curbishley as the club's sole manager (Curbishley had previously been joint manager with Steve Gritt). The first twelve years of Murray's tenure saw two promotions to the Premier League and seven seasons in the top flight, the club's most successful spell since the years preceding and after World War II.

There could be some negatives over time. It's a high-wire act and no American city lately has absorbed anywhere near this number of people so quickly.

You're coming into a state that has a deserved reputation for being low-tax and low-service. If you try to be generous to your new residents, some of the poor folks here are going to notice and are going to start raising Cain.

They are working extremely long hours often.

They are working extremely long hours often. They really don't have much time for politics in this culture. You can't win by mobilizing Hispanics in Houston yet, but they are, year by year, becoming a more significant voting block in this city.

A Hispanic candidate like Sanchez has to work much harder than Lee Brown does. Lee Brown will have 97 percent of the Black voters behind him. He just has to turn them out.

I don't see much evidence of overall planning and guidance.
