Ok anchorman fair do's i should not have used that word in here. He is condescending in that he thinks that he has a higher opinion than the ordinary fan.

So the gist of this article is that Ally is completely untouchable. If this season with his signings and lets be honest not to many of field distractions is not "unhindered" then i doubt that condecending types like cg will ever see it differently. My opinion has fuck all to do with what shite i read either in blogs or in the media. Ally is a poor football manager and we will constantly need more huge investment to fund his inadequacy.

I won't criticise any rangers player now, no matter how bad a performance, until they get the chance to play for a decent manager. It's way to many good players performing well below their capabilities for it all to be down to the players.

No i sincerely think he meant Chic Murray. Droll sense of humour and glasgow legend. Just like super...

Hopefully it' s wallace and his guru starting to ask the difficult questions and perhaps competency or worse is being exposed. Keep at it wallace there's more....

Ok he says come and ask for my cash but what is he asking for in return? Is it a fair offer?

Sorry berliner but who is the "club" that you would give the money to? Surely the board are in control of invested money, especially when it is the next two seasons st cash! all that money would not be available for restructuring, most would be needed for day to day running of the club.

It was only a few months ago super ally was saying he would need more or less a new team for the spl. Why not get our house in order now and build a new team for spl hopefully with a decent managerwho would spend the anticipated millions wisely. Lets face it ally will just continue to spunk away any extra funds handed to him.

Seriously you would hand our main income for the next two years to the board and ally now! Wtf happens if thats all gone in a year!

Realpapabear - you trust ally? He's toadied up to every "spiv" thats been in and out since whyte took over. He's jumped sides of the fence more than red rum in the national.. Looks like his judgement in backing his bosses is as suspect as his judgement of a player... I'm just sticking to the football side as i can't influence the boardroom shite.

When we finally get a decent manager the penny will drop with all the ally apologists just how much he is lacking as a leader.

I think stewarty made some good points. Every facet of the club needs to be looked at and re evaluated. Good start point is how many (accountant/goalie, /right back, /coach,/ admin etc) do you need. Next are they delivering? Yes/no - performance manage them out the door if no. Mmm that works for non playing staff but not players and manager/ coaches as they have bomb proof contracts that say they can only be got rid off with compensation or transfer if they agree..if i was wallace i would be asking ally to evaluate every player and coach on his staff. For each player - does he rate them, do they have a future at rfc, are they short term useful or long term. Now for the tricky questions - what length of contracts are they on? Only the select few who are seen as long term spl players should have been given more than two year contracts. A review along these lines would expose ally's lack of planning, (players we don't need simonsen, smith, foster cribiari)) poor judgement (offering long contracts to players he will now see as not good enough - barrie mckay!) and poor man management of expensive assets (templeton,shiels immediately spring to mind).

Director / executive salaries - think they will have to publish some transparent figures on what is being paid and clear links to performance v remuneration are required for these positions. If they don't get some transparency then i think ST sales will be hit for next season as fans need to trust that their money is not being filtered out by a few chancers.

This hotel carry on today alone won't kill us but just shows the spend spend culture that still hangs around Ibrox like a bad smell.

Darther if you don't believe that the manager is that important a factor on how a team performs on the park then please explain man utd's season...

Pathetic. ? Really! Just because we have always done this does not make it right if we are financially fucked...

With the money spent we should have an exciting vibrant brand of football with more looking to buy seasons tickets. thats not happening is it? Problem is manager. Decent one would be creating excitement with good football on half our budget, easily....

If todays report about the squad going to a hotel today to prepare for tonights match are true then i hope more journalists get these stories out because that is a disgrace if it's true...

Reported that ally left the meeting and jig took over. Wtf i hope this is not ally ducking his responsibilities. You know the form "it's not me lads, i' deffinetely one of youse"

Doesn't reflect well on walter that he kept all that bombshell info to himself and also allowed his protege to walk into the lions den . So rab which is it? Was walter being a c@$# or did he perhaps not know what was going to happen?

By using the "throw him to the wolves" point you indicate you think it's a wrong move. Whatever else you think about the board at least it would be one good decision.

Wee question gunslinger. Do you think ally is good enough for rangers?

We're not that far apart on what we want and how to get there. 3,4,5 years can sound too long , but no plan could see us nowhere for longer than that. I agree with the right manager (never a sure thing until they actually do the job) we could quickly challenge, but currently i see nothing but hard times ahead.

Thanks for copying that before i edited the spelling.. damn small phones...lol

Your right we are to late. Obviously being number one again must be our goal, but we need a plan to get there with mini goals and targets aligned to budgets, income increases as we progress (higher st prices, increased tv revenues, europe tv money even..) i think we have the right ceo in wallace. Just need the balls to get shot of ally and get a decent manager in place like NOW..

Ok focus on how we turn over celtic as soon as we get back to spl. How do you plan for that?

We have to forget about celtic for now. This idea that we could win the spf first season or so back is fanciful, even with good investment. We will have to get the better of a few decent teams before we are ready to crack celtic again. We should be focussing on rangers and getting on a sound footing with a proper manager.

Ok gunslinger we raise the cash to buy your 10 quality players. If our

finance structure can't sustain the increase in wages that will entail what next? Oh aye raise more cash.easy peasy..
