RANGERRAB 3,253 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Oddly enough, that was one of the reasons I was worried about him becoming manager in the first place. He never seemed very knowledgeable or insightful when has was doing his tv football stuff. When WS was there and Ally took the team for domestic cup games he seemed to struggle more often than not. And WS had to intervene. Perhaps that was a sign of things to come Edited February 5, 2015 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,494 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 and none of them got the job, John Carver was given it. Agreed but I believe that is only to the end of the season because many would only be available then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Oddly enough, that was one of the reasons I was worried about him becoming manager in the first place. He never seemed very knowledgeable or insightful when has was doing his tv football stuff. Agreed mate. I don't think his football brain is particularly intelligent. Yes, he has played the game. But it's one thing playing and doing all the instinctive things that he did oin the pitch. But it's another thing discussing tactics and installing a football strategy into a football club/team. Ally is not capable of being a proper football manager. His stint as an 'analyst' on ITV when Scotland played Engand at the Piggery was quite embarassing really. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I doubt very much if he'll waive it. It will likely be his first & last job in football management i suspect he will find tv work readily 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 He'd also been out of the sharp end of football for quite a while before he became our assistant manager and had never actually managed a team. I always think promoting the assistant in football is quite risky. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 He'd also been out of the sharp end of football for quite a while before he became our assistant manager and had never actually managed a team. I always think promoting the assistant in football is quite risky. Promoting the assistant in a failed regime is doomed to failure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue 0 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I was never a Walter Smith fan - hence I knew that Ally being effectively being a clone of him was never something I was going to like. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 All a new board can do is negotiate a pay off. They've resigned and are under no obligation to take them back if ythey don't want to What would be interesting to see is whether or not AM or KM waive their pay-off in the event that King/T3B get power....... I would say it is highly unlikely in McDowall's case but more likely in McCoist's. It would certainly be a telling sign if King/T3B got power and McCoist then says "see my contract, just rip it up" - would tell you what he thought of the current incumbents. I didn't say likely, or probable..... just more likely in McCoist's case. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
