Gribz 743 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Really! Worried about Hibs! A team Pat Fenlon destroyed who have been awful this season. Ally McCoist admits he is concerned about the teams his Rangers side might face in the Scottish Championship next season. The Ibrox team coasted to the League One title this season to seal their place in the second tier. Hearts will join them after being relegated, with Hibernian among the clubs battling to avoid the Premiership's relegation play-off spot. "The prospect of a big club like Hibs coming down worries me," said McCoist. Hamilton are in pole position to secure promotion from the Championship, meaning Dundee, Falkirk and League One promotion hopefuls Dunfermline Athletic could also be in the second tier next season. "No-one has a God-given right to win games. I've already said it will be a hell of a competitive and interesting league," added the Rangers manager We don't know who will be coming down and there is a few twists and turns to come out of the next two or three weeks, which I'm looking forward to watching. "Hibs have been mentioned, but there are three or four of them down there fighting to avoid that play-off place, so it will make it really interesting for our league next year whoever plays in that play-off and ends up coming down." McCoist's side have recovered from losing both the Ramsdens Cup final to Raith Rovers and their Scottish Cup semi-final with Dundee United by recording back-to-back wins over Forfar Athletic and Stenhousemuir. However, with the club beset by off-field problems, the manager is keen to put the campaign behind him. "I'm looking forward to my holiday, if that's what you are asking me?" added McCoist. "But we've got three big games left and, even before that, a lot of planning to do for next season. We have to look at pre-season, squads, players - a lot of work is still to be done. "I wouldn't say it has been a wearing season - it's been testing, but that is what you expect being manager of Rangers. "It's been a tougher job than I imagined it would be on the day I took it, with everything that has happened. "We didn't have any idea it would lead to administration and liquidation, so from that angle, it has thrown up a lot more challenges than I thought it would initially. "But you just have to meet those challenges head on as best as you can and we have done that. I hope it's made me stronger for it." Rangers face Ayr United at Ibrox on Tuesday before chief executive Graham Wallace announces the findings of his 120-day review into the club's books. "I will have a cup of tea with Graham before the game and then definitely have a chat on Wednesday or Thursday," added McCoist. "But I'm not expecting a heads-up or sneak preview of the report. That's Graham's department and, when he's ready to tell us, we will all know." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy 0 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 He sounds tired. Ally's mind drifting away from management and into retirement? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So Ally is going to need to check the Internet for his playing budget? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm seriously worried about getting out of that league next season with Ally in the hotseat. His demeanor and general tone lately tells me that he's also seriously worried about it and that worries me even more! Worried loyal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,306 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think this is just political posturing from McCoist to try to get as much of a playing budget as possible from Wallace. If he comes out and says next season should be a canter (as it should), what argument does he have for getting a transfer budget to improve the squad? He has to try to get Wallace & Co to be aware that he needs to continue to improve his squad every window, as we only have 3 windows left before we have to take on the scum for the title. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,829 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm concerned that McCoist is still our manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Moves must be in motion to remove him and his pals. We cannot go on with this man in charge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With total disregard for the future well being of our club? We have recently posted a loss which may have seen other clubs enter administration and he already has a huge squad of over 30 players. There comes a time when enough is enough. We cannot and will not ever afford the tools Ally McCoist would need to be a successful Rangers manager, it just isn't going to happen. He could be given £100m and still play 4-5-1 anti football in the lower leagues, it's what he is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,253 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 How bad does the standard of football need to get before McCoist is shown the door? Tactically inept with no game plan every time. League One managers have him sussed. He has the 2nd highest wage structure in the country. The board have a decision to make 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our wages ratio of players wages to turnover is the lowest it has ever been. The losses have come from complete mismanagement and, lets be honest here, theft from the (mostly) previous Directors. Spouting off about Ally not being the man to go forward is an entirely different argument completely, (one I wont argue with) and is nothing to do with the fact that Ally is trying to get the most amount of money possible for his playing squad for next season, just like every other manager in football. In this scenario, he has the future well being of our club at the forefront of his mind, IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
