Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 NO SURRENDER - what does that mean anymore? It's more like our support utter "Your wish is our command." Slightly ironic given you have spent the last year championing a team and manager who have surrendered at every obstacle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on my phone and cutting and pasting is not easy... Apologies Before reading this article, I had heard very similar rumours about the AGM being a watershed moment for McCoist. I have been warned by a source that Dennis Wise may be waiting in the wings to take over. Not 100% related to this article but I was also told to prepare for a potential 2nd Admin, to try and clear out the 'cancer' in the club to try and rebuild. Tis the season to be jolly indeed... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 If dennis wise is the new manager then i fully expect the stands to empty in an instant. It wouldn't be a wise move to put Dennis in charge and I doubt very much it will happen. However if DW is mentioned enough, it will help the acceptance (via relief) of whoever is appointed. This is an appointment that Ashely will consider extremely important in several ways and will help illustrate intentions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 feel the same about Billy Davis to tell you the truth. I think one of the criteria Ashely will look for in a manager is a degree of relative subservience. I'm not sure and in fact, probably doubt that Davis would provide that. That said, he may be prepared to appoint a slightly more populist figure at this stage, but on a short contract. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,249 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ally McCoist may have managed Rangers for the final time as Mike Ashley prepares to move to replace him Rangers set to prepare moves aimed at dispensing with Ally McCoist Club to make an announcement after Monday's annual general meeting McCoist steered his side to a 2-0 victory over Livingston on Saturday By Fraser Mackie For The Scottish Mail On Sunday Published: 23:56 GMT, 20 December 2014 | Updated: 01:03 GMT, 21 December 2014 Rangers are set to make moves aimed at dispensing with Ally McCoist as manager after Monday’s annual general meeting at Ibrox. An announcement is expected to be made of Mike Ashley’s intent to underwrite the new £8million share issue, approval for which must be granted by shareholders in order to keep the club operating beyond the end of next month. With that availability of fresh funding and newly-appointed chief executive Derek Llambias at the controls, Ashley and his lieutenant can begin to impress their stamp on Rangers. It’s understood the Ibrox board could be prepared to stave off the wave of unrest at the potentially stormy meeting with a solid declaration of Ashley’s commitment and financial way forward. And the Newcastle United owner could be painted as the stricken club’s saviour if loans of up to £3m already handed to Rangers by him were to be written off. All of which could mean yesterday’s 2-0 victory over Livingston becoming one of McCoist’s last, if not his final game, in charge of Rangers. Following a midweek meeting with football board chairman Sandy Easdale and Llambias, McCoist remained as manager for the Championship game at Ibrox. But, if bolstered by a guarantee of cash, Rangers can tackle negotiations over the terms of McCoist’s notice period within the next fortnight in a bid to reach a settlement. Attention would then turn to his backroom staff, including assistant manager Kenny McDowall, first-team coach Ian Durrant and goalkeeping coach Jim Stewart, as work begins on establishing a new football structure. That would be preferable to the new men in charge than prolonging the agony of McCoist remaining in control of the squad until as long as next December. Billy Davies remains a prominent contender to replace McCoist in the hotseat. Those manoeuvres will raise the stakes in Rangers’ imminent disciplinary clash with the SFA. Last Monday, the governing body issued Ashley and the club notices of complaint for allegedly breaching rules related to his increasing influence in Rangers’ day-to-day running. Ashley steered clear three months ago when then chief executive Graham Wallace went to the market and raised an emergency £3million. Instead, the Newcastle supremo struck a deal with Hargreave Hale for their investment in order to strengthen his shareholding to 8.92 per cent. However, he will ensure his shareholding is no more than 29.9 per cent following any flotation, otherwise he would be legally-bound to make a bid to buy the entire company. Meanwhile, it has emerged Mark Hateley was advised by formerteam-mates to be careful about courting a relationship with the Easdale brothers, Sandy and James — he sat beside them at the recent games at Alloa and Palmerston — months before this week’s revelation of his fall-out with McCoist. Hateley had phoned Nacho Novo and tried to speak to one current player in a bid to extract information about McCoist’s coaching methods. The Rangers manager blanked attempts by Hateley in midweek to mend the broken relationship, furious that his old team-mate appears to have joined the boardroom camp of those who are opponents of the McCoist tenure. Daily Mail Might very well be a charm offensive ahead of the AGM. It was tactcially sound to place Llambias in the frontline, as he's essentially has nothing to do with the current board, his boss managed to sent two directors packing, including the former CEO. He can declare whatever he likes to the audience with hardly anyone able to challenge anything he says, even though he will be grilled for the merch deal. Much of the above is crystal balls stuff, but would go a long way on the road to appease shareholders and supporters. One wonders how Llambias/Ashley will want to clear the SFA stuff up though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
