Perfect. The more they underestimate us the quicker we will catch them.

Scotland PMU?

Yes at pittodrie

Was at the u21 match tonight. Not one player anywhere near to a step up. Pretty abysmal standard to be honest

I do, anyway...if Ally hadn't taken that money it would have disappeared into a board shaped black hole. If it absolutely HAD to leave the club, and history suggests it would have vanished one way or another, I'd rather a club legend got it than some jumped up clippie from Greenock.

If he gave up his wad when king took over that argument could be valid. That he turned out to be as greedy as the boards who raped us is no consolation. Also the fact that he just pissed about these last years treating it as a big joke is the reason i have zero respect. Handing big buck contracts to washed up pros, golf outings rather than serious preparation etc etc the list of unprofessionalism is endless

I hope that when Ally does turn up at the stadium that it doesn't take the focus away/distract from the good & united-behind-the-team feelings that everyone has been reporting thus far this season. Opinion seems divided on forums and, as ever on internet forums, extreme positions are generally favoured. It would be a shame if this was replicated at the ground.

He wont be back until BT roll up for our first return to champions league action. Of course he will getting paid handsomely for spouting pish.. ahh just like the good old days....

Lol answer me this so&so, was John Greig less a legend when he was sacked and walked away with rangers money? Or big jock? Ally resigned I think knowing he wasn't the man to take us forward it was the Ashley board that put him on gardening leave

If he had resigned honourably he would have left with no pay off. He was removed from position of manager by the board but they opted to continue paying him for one year as per contract rather than cough up the utterly obsene amount of money in a oner..... still feel the same way about super?????

I'm not saying he isn't, just don't think he is right for this role.

Is it not just a one off guest role. Marvin andrews was on the other week..

Will need him next season to topple Aberdeen if the top.haha

Names aren't what we need.

Agree hope we dont go back to that kind of signings

Which games will he be covering ... Scottish, English or Champions League?

The golf....

what else does he mean by traditional rangers?

 

how can you go back when we never left?

 

idiotic comment that only encourages nonsense about us being a different club. The man needs to stop talking, he puts his foot in it every time.

Why cant we just keep the focus on the football and get ready for a challenge next season. Most of this interview will come back and bite us. Ie bumming up ally when it looks like he has only done the deal so he can take his bt job.

WTF are you on about now?

Have to say that following kings comments today it will only fuel the "new club" comments from the usual suspects. Hard now to say fuck you when our boss says its important to us. I think he should have kept that one under his hat until it is clear it could be done

While I would not expect the details of the deal to be publicised on the official website, it will be interesting to see what comes out from the usual sources over the next hours/days/weeks regarding all this now that it is all settled.

It will be wattie and all the ally supporters bleating about how much he had to deal with behind the scenes etc cant imagine he has anything significant to say.

As i suspected a hollow gesture so late in the day it is hardly making a difference now but he gets the thanks of the club and will no doubt believe everything is hunky dory again. Chapter closed and please no job for him in any capacity..

At the time McCoist endorsed Green, who else was around to save the day? I'm not talking about McCoist's implied payoff here, but the fact he helped push the fans to save the club.

Whether Green's offer was the highest or not, he did own the club. If you were so insightful at the time Green needed McCoist to endorse him, why did you pitch in?

 

You're moving the argument from McCoist to Green- he'll get what's coming to him.

As far as McCoist goes, whatever his motivation, I am maintaining that McCoist's endorsement was critical to the fans buying into the club under Green.

The fans were not daft, they could sense that Green was another s*** in a suit. Regardless, they wanted to pitch in and support the club and McCoist was there with the encouragement they needed.

You can spew forth your obvious dislike of Green and of McCoists motives, but it doesn't change the fact that McCoist tipped the scales for the fans in their support of Green.

As far as you pitching in, that was an assumption on my part - you're still here.

 

Im sure you are correct that Allys endorsement influenced many fans to pitch in. Remember that knowledge of Ally selling out by accepting the million shares came much later and was not exactly volunteered from the great one. ally gave the impression he had been given proof of good intentions between his no endorsement no trust stance and his all in backing.

I think fans stayed away because of the boycott. The shite that Ally was turning out wasn't as important in that respect

Might be but the crowds didnt materialise after king took over until warburtons football dazzled the disaffected. My boycott started a few years ago and was football related

For most it would take more than that !

In Allys head but not in the real world

I think Ally would forgo the last few payments to be loved again. I would pay him what he is due and forget about him.

At the pro level, certainly in England, parents have to sign contracts. If they try to coach, or argue, or do anything other than just general encouragement their kid is on a "3 strikes" basis. Happens 3 times and kid is asked to leave Academy

Aye unless he's a pretty special talent and they will get as many strikes as they want...lol

Craig is correct that this idea has been around the last 4 years or so. It can work with younger age groups and depends the areas involved. As they move to 11 aside competitive football it all starts getting a bit nastier. The real horror stories are probably in the minority but there is a simmering undercurrent in many games with arsehole coaches and agressive parents.. the big debate that takes place is the idea of non competitive football for youngsters. You have the old school side who just scorn it and want their kids and teams to get intae the opposition from a young age as they think they are developing winners. On the other side some are to namby pamby and want it all sterilised and contact and agression free. For me and i believe the succesful youth development coaches would say that football is always competitive as that is the nature of the game,the key is do you believe that its win at all costs for kids or is there times when it really isnt the end of the world if you lose a game but the manner you played and the effort displayed can be equally important.

I wonder if Imran is still posting on forums. He called himself Iamrangers but he'd be called something else now.

Love it these guys are going to their graves obsessed and twisted up with their hatred of Rangers. phil the phuck up is one seriously ill guy. That he still spends his every waking minute writing and obsessing and wishing we would disappear into thin air is the traits of someone on the edge. I hope the haters all twist and turn and endure sleepless nights hurting and plotting in their diseased minds ways to damage us. Sad sad wankers...

Interesting article. Was shocked that it did occur to him to cultivate better relationships with the managers whereby his judgement and opinion counted for something. Absolutely NOT shocked that the managers in question appear to have made no effort to ensure that this was a key relationship in the club structure.

Nobody is getting "slaughtered".Some folks are questioning if this is the right man for the job.

Remember last year ,it was all "lets take nobody at face value,scrutinise and then decide".

Well im sorry if you are offended by this,cos thats what im doing.

If you want to accept hes the man for the job ,no questions asked thats fine by me,i wont resort to sly digs at you.!!!

There comes a point where I believe we have to trust the board to get on with business and just concern ourselves with the football. Its verging on obsessive ala three names etc where everyman and his dog wants to.micro analyse every detail regarding Rangers. You can scrutinise to your hearts content and believe me I am.not offended just think its something I would leave to the obsessed haters out there as they stew in their own bile.

This is getting pretty tiresome with folks slaughtering people coming to the club when they have no idea if they are indeed competent to do the job. I would bet it will be the same ones who will slaughter the team and. Warburton when we have our first sticky spell.
