craig 5,195 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Problem craig is that many, myself included, don't view allys managerial performance as a littany of hard luck times and heroic selfless acts. More like poor judgement, lack of managerial skills, poor football tactics and a nose so far in the trough it would make some other leeches at ibrox in recent time blush like a nun in a whorehouse. By taking on the massive task that is rangers manager his playing record was always going to be forgotten if he messed up.. That happens everywhere.. Even now some commentators saying if henrik was to take celtic job would he risk his god like status for a shot at manager success! Doesnt mean he deserves to be disrespected. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 He's taking the absolute piss earning those wages and serving up that football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 His £10k "investment" would have covered his own wages for circa four and a quarter days had he bought his million shares in the IPO it would have covered his wages for circa ten months. Ah but to be fair you have to remember that he couldn't have known that. Remember he said "to be brutally, totally, completely honest with you I didn't know what I was being paid. I have never looked at a wage slip." Luckily he somehow managed to know what he could afford and what he could not... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It was not an attack on Mccoist at all. A few facts and nothing to do with hearsay, rumour, innuendo and half remembered events or 20/20 hindsight But you can tell what I said that is not true. But to make it easy, with regard to McCoists integrity, tell me he never said to the fans at a meeting in the ibrox suite - along with Greenco - that he could not tell us to buy season tickets. Then tell me he never raped our club for a million shares for 1p and told us to buy STs to get Greenco off the ground. Exactly the same as Green, Ahmed, Hughes etc did. Integrity and honesty, you have to laugh. Expected us to believe he never looked at his bank statement and was shocked to know he was being paid £800k plus for the fourth tier. How did he rape the club for one million penny shares ? He smash and grabbed them ? No. He was offered them by GreenCo. Was he bought off ? Probably. But then so were the vast majority of our fans bought off by Green and his moonbeams, just as the vast majority of our fans were bought off by SDM's moonbeams. Funny how we can castigate and deride someone for making the same mistake that many of us made ourselves. The bank statement one I will give you.... although I have never lived the life of a multi-millionaire so it could quite plausibly be that he simply spends when he wants to spend and doesnt pay attention to his bank statement as he has no monetary fears - McCoist was a rich man before he became manager. Still, you would expect him to check his bank statement.... but he wouldnt be the first or last to have an accountant or financial advisor doing all his financial bidding for him - plenty have gone bankrupt due to thesr type of characters (Nicolas Cage springs to mind). Had Cage been checking his bank statements and investment reports he would have seen he was teetering on bankruptcy.... rich people dont need to worry about bank statements like the rest of us. I'm not saying that makes it right but there ya go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 A rolling contract surely means that the club simply have the option of non-renewal when it expires, rather than having to make a lump sum pay off. IIRC it's rolling in the sense that it's always 12 months long, 12 months today, 12 months tomorrow etc...etc... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmu 0 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Craig. have you read the email on previous page! I'm no expert on rolling contracts but from others who seem to know we would always have to give him a years notice or a years pay off. At his rates and our finances it would seem that giving him a years notice now would be the ONLY prudent course of action.. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Doesnt mean he deserves to be disrespected. People should separate McCoist the player from McCoist the manager, his playing career shouldn't harvest any favours for his managerial career nor should his managerial career tarnish what he did as a player. McCoist and McCormick both know well the right side of a shilling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 • Surrendered a colossal 15 point lead to Celtic in the SPL (they had 2 games in hand granted), overturned in just 7 weeks (5th Nov - 24th Dec 2011). By 8th Feb 2012 Celtic were 10 points ahead - a total swing of 25 points in just 12 weeks or so. • Knocked out of the League Cup, beaten 3-2 by 1st Division outfit, Falkirk. • Knocked out of the Scottish Cup, beaten 2-0 by Dundee Utd. • Knocked out of the Champions League by Swedish minnows, Malmo. • Knocked out of the Europa League by Slovenian minnows, Maribor. • Gubbed 1-0 by Kilmarnock in our first game after going into Administration. Over the following 3 weeks we were also beaten 2-1 by Hearts and 2-1 by Dundee Utd. • Just managed to narrowly scrape a 2-1 win against part-time minnows, Brechin City in the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup at Glebe Park - needing a last gasp, extra time goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 2-2 draw with part-time minnows, Peterhead at Balmoor - needing a last gasp, last minute goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows, Berwick Rangers at Shielfield Park. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against part-time minnows, Forres Mechanics at Mosset Park - after Forres were reduced to ten men. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Annan Athletic at Galabank. Despite being 5 games into the season, and playing in the basement rungs of Scottish football with SPL players we were still without an away win, sitting fourth in the table. • Horsed out of the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup by Queen Of The South 4-3 on penalties after failing to beat them over 120 minutes of turgid clogging. • Beaten 1-0 by a Stirling Albion side, nestled snugly at the base of Scottish football's fourth tier, and who had just lost their previous five games on the trot. • Finally managed an away win in the fourth tier by scraping a narrow win against 10-man Clyde at Broadwood. • Horsed out of the League Cup by Inverness Caley Thistle who trounced us 3-0 at Ibrox. The scoreline was kept to 3-0 only by an outstanding performance from Neil Alexander, without whom it could easily have been 5 or 6. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against 10-man Queens Park at Hampden - needing a last gasp, 92nd minute, injury time goal to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows Elgin City at Ibrox - after Elgin had been reduced to 10 men. • Just managed to scrape a narrow 1-0 win over 10-man Peterhead at Balmoor, with a Fran Sandaza tap-in (his first goal in five months) after keeper Graeme Smith had spilled the ball. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Montrose at Ibrox - needing an own goal from Montrose's Jonathan Crawford to do so. • Knocked out of the Scottish Cup, after being absolutely destroyed 3-0 by Dundee Utd - the same team that knocked us out of the cup the previous year. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with part-time minnows, Stirling Albion at Forthbank - when Stirling were sitting joint bottom of the fourth tier. We managed just 1 point out of a potential 6 at Forthbank that season. • Gubbed 2-1 at Ibrox by an Annan Athletic, a side sitting 34 points behind us, and nestled in second-bottom place at the base of Scottish football's fourth tier. It was only Annan's second away win of the season, having only won 7 league games out of 28 played thus far. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win against part-time minnows, Elgin City at Borough Briggs, needing a 73rd minute penalty to do so. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Stirling Albion at Ibrox. • Just managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with part-time minnows, Montrose at Links Park - after Montrose had a perfectly legitimate winning volley from Martin Boyle disallowed. • Gubbed 2-1 at Ibrox by Peterhead, the day after Charles Green stepped down. • Horsed out of the League Cup in the first round by Forfar Athletic, 2-1 in extra time, after failing to beat them over 90 minutes. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Stranraer at Ibrox, needing a penalty in which to do so. • Just managed to scrape a narrow 3-2 win over Arbroath at Ibrox, needing another dubious penalty award and a highly fortuitous deflection to do so. This was after falling behind twice to the second-bottom placed team, who were FORTY FOUR points behind us prior to kick off. • Just managed to scrape a 3-3 draw with Stenhousemuir at Ibrox, needing an own-goal by Ross McMillan to do so. That was after falling behind TWICE. • Just managed to scrape a 1-0 win over East Fife at Bayview with a 95th minute goal, courtesy of a penalty. • Just managed to scrape a 1-1 draw with Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup at Ibrox. • Losing the Ramsdens Pawnbrokers Cup Final in extra time to Raith Rovers. Losing at home to Annan is up there with our worst and most humiliating results ever. In fact some of the results in the bottom tier would have seen any other man binned, if he was lucky enough to survive his first season of shambles like Ally did. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
