chilledbear 16 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The first one was on, then replaced by the second. For anyone that didn't get to see it. ALLY McCOIST has accused Charles Green of treating Rangers and its fans with contempt and believes he has no interest in the club. The manager was furious to waken up this morning to comments from the former Light Blues chief executive â?? appointed as a consultant to the club yesterday - in a national newspaper. In the interview, he insisted McCoist had to win the league and a cup this season or he would â??have a problemâ??. Green also reiterated his belief last seasonâ??s team was the worst in the clubâ??s history and described events at Ibrox as â??a circusâ??. And he maintained heâ??d have raised season ticket prices this term and wouldnâ??t have given McCoist the volume of players Craig Mather has allowed him to recruit. The manager was furious in particular with the timing of Green dismissing the same squad from 2012/13 he was working with at todayâ??s League Cup tie against Forfar. Gers lost 2-1 after extra-time and McCoist feels the Yorkshiremanâ??s words played a part. He said: â??They were a terrible distraction and I found his comments appalling, I really did. â??Once again, he was reminding our boys who had a serious cup tie in four hours that he thinks they were the worst Rangers team in history. â??What kind of team talk is that from somebody who is supposed to have the clubâ??s best interests at heart? â??Heâ??s fooling nobody. Heâ??s trying to kid the fans on that heâ??s this, that and the next thing but heâ??s not interested in Rangers Football Club, not at all. â??I think itâ??s plain to see his contempt and total lack of respect for my players, the staff at the club, the supporters and Scottish football in general. Itâ??s totally unacceptable.â? McCoist went into this afternoonâ??s match at Station Park minus the eight new players he has recruited over the last few weeks. The difference in play without them was evident as Rangers struggled to break down their fellow League One opponents for large spells. Fraser Aird did cancel out Gavin Swankieâ??s early opener to force an additional half hour of play and there were chances for the Light Blues to edge it. Instead they fell to a second Swankie strike in windy conditions and McCoist knows his players didnâ??t perform the way they could have. He said: â??Iâ??m very disappointed. The team shooting with the wind obviously had a very strong advantage and conditions werenâ??t ideal. Forfar adapted better than us. â??With that said, once we did get the equaliser I thought we had chances to win the game and we should have done. It was a moment of slackness that cost us and we just switched off. â??Letâ??s put things into perspective though. It was last yearâ??s team playing â?? which did well for us last year â?? and we had eight lads in the stand who couldnâ??t play but whoâ??ll feature. â??For long periods of the game, we had the ball and we had great chances to score but we couldnâ??t convert and weâ??ll congratulate Dick Campbell and his team on their win. â??Now we look ahead to the Newcastle game, which will give us an opportunity to play lads our new chief executive has stood by and allowed to bring into the club. â??We have to remember weâ??ve brought in good players, people who have played in the Premier League, and Iâ??ve no doubt they will make us better.â? Replaced by . . . . ALLY McCOIST insists Rangers will improve after seeing them blow a number of opportunities to kill off Forfar and ultimately crash out of the League Cup to the Loons. The Light Blues had more possession than their Angus opponents in todayâ??s first round tie at Station Park and created several scoring chances. But they only took one of them through Fraser Aird nine minutes from the end of regulation time as he cancelled out Gavin Swankieâ??s opening goal. And all that did was delay a famous win for Dick Campbellâ??s team as Swankie struck again five minutes from the end of extra-time to notch a 2-1 victory for the hosts. Gers played without any of their eight summer recruits, all of whom were prevented from featuring due to competition rules regarding non-use of unregistered players. Ross Perry, Kyle Hutton, Emilson Cribari and Dean Shiels were each sidelined too by injuries as the Ibrox side turned out minus 12 squad members. Once the clubâ??s transfer embargo finishes at the end of the month, McCoist will finally be able to pick freely from his pool and the first XI will be much stronger then. In the meantime, he has to rouse his troops after this afternoonâ??s setback for Tuesdayâ??s home friendly with Newcastle then the League One opener against Brechin a week from now.

Guest nvager Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The first article should never have been put on the website. Whoever did that needs to be well warned as to his stupidity. Ally should never have been so stupid either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,113 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It saddens me to see it. I think Ally is under pressure and running out of scapegoats. It is ludicrous that he is blaming Green. A decent manager would have turned it to the team's advantage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibmark 15 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Green shouldn't be near the club. Fair play to whoever put up the first article. Obviously someone with big balls/ovaries. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real PapaBear 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I agree with Ally, but the first piece shouldn't have been put up. Rangers shouldn't wash their dirty linen in public. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,151 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Someone obviously asserted their authority. I doubt authority came into it. Common sense for our website not to slag off it's own employees - external consultants or not. You know how the game should be played. Those who want to buy are not playing it very well. A couple of own goals won't help their chances... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
