Super Cooper 0 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I should rephrase my point. We will never get back to the top under current ownership. Whilst they have no desire to change the manager you are absolutely right. This Championship trophy will be our last trophy of any kind for a very very long time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed even if he walked away we would get the cheapest option to replace him. But that's just one of the many reasons what I say is true. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they could save themselves a fortune changing manager, Coisty and co would never take a pay off at Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just one of the many reasons what I say is true. Out of interest....does anyone know what sort of money the likes of Stuart McCall or Derek McInnes are on??? I would hazard a guess that its a lot less than £400k+ a year!!! Over the past couple of years the board have actually supported the manager pretty damned well - how many players has McCoist been allowed to bring in??? Is it the boards fault that McCoist identifies mediocre players to sign??? Are the current board the ones to bring the business side back to the top table - I don't know. Is McCoist the manager to bring the football back to the top table - NO... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Coisty and co would never take a pay off at Rangers. I'm not so sure TBH.......Coisty was quite happy to take a £800k annual wage in the 3rd division. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that mate and it was a shameful act, the brassest of necks in fact but now our financial situation is even more in the open, he couldn't take any more money out of our club and still save face. Not even he could pull that off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it was done, I'm pretty sure Coisty would be rewarded - either with cash, shares or something else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,245 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm sure in an absolute minority (and don't mind about that), but IMHO Black is a decent enough footballer (sic!) who played a good season and helped us winning promotion twice. "Exactly" the type of player we needed down there. Is he on "too" much money? Well, for us poor normal souls he sure is, as are many others. Is Rooney worth 120k a week though? Was Whittaker worth 25k a week? Such debate is at best interesting, but not of much use and not exactly objective. We do not pay our highest paid chap even a thirdthese days compared to years pre-admin, which is a start. We still pay Rangers wages though, not those of East Fife or Hearts or ICT. Whether it will always be money for quality is up for (usually not very objective) debate. When we start paying the wages of the aforementioned though, we will attract players of their calibre, not ours. And over the course of time, we may (sic!) end up being like them and not Rangers. Whether intentionally or not, McCoist brought in players who had to do a job, i.e. get us out of the fourth and third tier. Quality football or not, he did that. Spending some 800k in transfer fees. Next challenge is the Championship and if he navigates that as well, people can argue about dire football all day long, the prime objective for him, club, and company will be fulfilled. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
