Rangersitis 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 There are already the usual suspects accusing him of selling out despite the fact that he doesn't ask fans to buy season tickets despite what must be enormous pressure on him to do so from the board. He has previous for it, so the ambiguity within that Pravda article doesn't really clear up any questions regarding his position. Perhaps he wasn't required to punt season tickets as sales are encouraging? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersitis 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 which is McCoist at his political best - he couldn' add anything to the debate without publicly taking sides. He has clearly refused to throw his weight behind the board by not asking fans to by STs but done so in a way that doesn't leave him open to sanctions by his employer. The poor standard of football leaves him open to sanctions by his employer but he knows fine well that his position is safe for the foreseeable future. This is all about Ally looking after Ally's interests. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I must admit I haven't sensed the excitement among fans about next season that he talks about. No, nor the "great adventures" of the last two years. Some maybe, early on - soon died though and became an unpleasant, unedifying slog. It could have been a great adventure, but it was made into anything but that. How he can "genuinely feel" this excitement re the coming season is beyond me; this interview is so far from how I see things that I feel alienated by it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Super is between a rock and a hard place. at the same time walking a tightrope between the board and the support, anti-board and pro- board elements. Whatever he says or does is going to upset someone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,416 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ally is right, the fans will continue to support the team in numbers,just maybe not through ST. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If only the board would act in a fashion that makes continued support possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmu 0 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Board will be reassured that sos founder is backing fans to continue to back the team just not through st's. They will probably gamble that enough will pay on the day. In meantime is it possible that by holding back st purchases this just gives them carte blanche to raise cash any other way they can ie favourable loans by directors, share issues that will further strengthen the shareholders that are already entrenched! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
