Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ally should get every penny his contract entitles him to like any worker. He should probably reinvest it but that's up to him. Like Imran Ahmad? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) The guy who was sacked for gross misconduct? He should have got whatever his contract said he was due if he was sacked for gross misconduct. I suspect he got more.

Zappa 0 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I won't say which ones for good reason, but I'm loving some of Dave King's comments today. :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I really don't think this is very dignified by King. If he really wants Ally to give charitably, he should remember that true charity is given anonymously. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 McCoist has bled our club dry for too long. He didn't even save us to start with, that honour belongs to the most evil and despised Charles Green. Personally I never knew SuperAlly as a man only as a great Rangers player on the field of battle watching from the stands as he eclipsed all contributions from greats like Kitchenbrand, Simpson, Waddell, Gillick, Thornton, McColl, Niven, Woodburn, Cox, Williamson, Hubbard, Little, Findlay, Baxter, Young, Shaw, Caldow, Martin, Telfer, Baird, Wilson, Shearer, McMillan, Brand, Henderson, Millar, Provan, Ritchie, Greig, Jardine, MacDonald, McCloy, Smith, Johnston & Johnstone. Now what do I think of him? He has lost all credibility in my book, and is a sad reflection on all those greats mentioned above before him, and some I may have missed out on. Super Ally? Give me a break. Give me my club it's money back please Ally! Long Live The Ragers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have got whatever his contract said he was due if he was sacked for gross misconduct. I suspect he got more. Perhaps we should sack McCoist for gross misconduct. Though knowing McCoist, he probably has a clause in his contract stipulating in that event he would get paid 5 year's wages. Were you saying Green should get what was in his contract too? Before you say he wrote his own contract, so did Ally. Edited May 22, 2015 by Ser Barristan Selmy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,720 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Dave King and Paul Murray on being fit and proper, Craig Whyte and Charles Green, appointing a new Rangers manager, the Sports Direct deals and much more. Matthew Lindsay Chief Football Writer Q: How rigorous was the SFA process to determine if you were a "fit and proper" person? DK: It was very intensive. They took it to a level which I don't think has been in done in Scotland and I'd go so far as to say the world. I think I'm the most interrogated director of a football company. But if the level of detail that was applied to me was applied to Craig Whyte then he wouldn't have taken control of the club. And the Charles Green era wouldn't have happened. The club would have got an owner who had proper financial credibility and a proper funding plan. The club would have had a chance. Q: How frustrating was it not being able to help the club? DK: The process took longer than I think we'd hoped. But, having said that, there were a lot of obstacles in our way. I think we were quite tenacious in getting through to the point we are at now. But, yes, I did find it very frustrating. The club is in a kind of a fragile state just now. We are only probably five or six weeks away from pre-season and we don't have an executive team, a CEO, a commercial director and a financial director, in place. We don't have a long-term manager in place. We're not even sure where we'll be playing next year. So it's quite a challenging period. Q: Clear something up. You said being passed as "fit and proper" wouldn't matter. Then earlier this week you said your investment depended on it. Which is the case? DK: I remember very, very clearly when we had the major press conference just after the GM I made it very clear that my level of investment would depend on my involvement in the club. But I also stated in tandem with that that I saw no possibility of the fit and proper not happening because there was no possibility of it not happening because on any basis I qualified. Q: What are your goals? DK: We want to see is Rangers regularly competing with Celtic to win the Scottish Premiership. We want Rangers, at a minimum, to be playing in the Europa League in order to get the bonus payments needed to get back to the Champions League. Q: How will you achieve those ambitions? DK: It's going to require funding over the next couple of years way beyond fans' season ticket money and retail income. Significant funding is required from shareholders over the next few years to get us there. There is a short-term funding plan which we are putting in place immediately and there is also a longer-term plan. I think we need to have a rights issue. That would happen over the next couple of months. We will see Rangers in a much more robust financial state than it is at present. Q: How much money is required? DK: I think £30 million is the gap shareholders will need to put in. I would provide 50 per cent of funding and the other shareholders would provide a further 50 per cent. That is the commitment. Q: What is the situation with the appointment of a new manager? PM: Only 13 people have held the position so it's a really important decision. The club is at a real crossroads in almost every sense. The choice of the manager is critical to that football strategy going forward. I think Stuart McCall has done an unbelievable job in terms of stepping in and being really selfless. He has come into quite a difficult situation. It could easily have blown up. He came in on a short-term basis to help the club. He deserves a lot of credit for that and so does Kenny Black. Pre-season training starts in about six weeks' time. So we need to get our first team coach in pretty quickly. Stuart is very much in the position at the moment. Q: What is your assessment of the football side of the club? DK: If you go over the course of the last few years as the club has made its way back through the leagues, that was a chance for some of the younger players to come through and get comfortable playing for Rangers. In the Premiership, it's very hard for a kid to play for Rangers week-in-week-out because you're expected to win. There was a chance to play the younger kids as we went through the lower leagues and we didn't take it. With the amount of money Rangers are spending, we should have won the league fairly comfortably this season. But we're not in a position where we are looking forward to going back to the Premiership so it's a failure in the system. Quite frankly, Murray Park has never worked. A large part of my initial investment into Rangers went into Murray Park. The return we've had has been miserable. We need to give it attention and get it right. Q: What is the situation with Rangers and Sports Direct? Will you repay the £5 million loan to Mike Ashley immediately? DK: They have a relationship with Rangers which they clearly value. The issue is whether that's at fair value to the club. It's very difficult to look at the £5million loan in isolation. I see it being linked in to a number of different transactions. We need to take a holistic view on the whole Sports Direct relationship. I'm meeting with the legal team tomorrow. Q: Have you unearthed anything alarming in the accounts or contracts since taking over? PM: I don't think there's anything that we've came across that is catastrophic, terminal or threatening to the club's existence. It's a case of working through all these issues. We need some time to do all that and patience from supporters. I think working together we can rebuild this club. You could see on Wednesday night the size of the club at the play-off game against Hibs. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/dave-king-and-paul-murray-on-being-fit-and-proper-craig-whyte-and-charles-green-appointing--207693n.126843615 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
