der Berliner 3,281 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The league is not over because "we" failed, but everyone else as well. And ... because Celtic invested roughly 8m last summer, more than Aberdeen is worth, and almost more than we are "worth". http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371/saison_id/2016 Minor facts, of course. After what we have been through, what did he or anyone expect? Bar the Yahoos strolling to five titles on the trott. We would have done the same, had we been in their position. And now, with Ashley's shacles still firmly in place, people come out and state how poor we are and how dominant the Yahoos? Such genius would have shamed Einstein ... Of course, for all their dominance (well, results are not really awe inspiring throughout - not even against us), we know how football works. If e.g. Arsenal comes calling for Rodgers and someone is willing to hand them 15m for Dembele and 6m for Sinclair, their team will look much different next season. The sad thing is, these scribbles not only shall, but most surely know that ... yet still go on like nothing will halt the Yahoos for decades to come. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,232 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 At this moment we are not worse than celtic were on the day before Fergus McCann pulled them back from the edge of the abyss. We probably were as bad as them on the day before King's men got rid of the svips. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,281 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Coming to think of it, we should Tango them by starting a rumour about Arsenal being interested in phenomenal Rodgers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 McCoist is saying nothing most of us don't already know. But it certainly seems gratuitous on his part and certainly overly negative in places. Perhaps a result of the decontextualised quotes? Less of a story otherwise. And he's right: last summer's transfer window was dreadful. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,353 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's been a bad week for Ally. There's been excuses in the past: Bad performances? - He tried his hardest but wasn't up to it. Taking a pay-off? - who here would not take a payment from their employer if they were contractually due it? Not voting? - could have had a family emergency or some other good reason for not voting. He was still one of our greatest players and a legend. The attempt at coming up with a reason why he didn't vote was laughable. He proxied his vote before and was therefore well aware that he could have done it again, and the fact that he uses the "abroad" excuse is indefensible. His lack of self-awareness about the lack of cash at the club is astounding. Yes, he just took what he was due (and then reached an agreement when a broadcasting job appeared) but he still took it and should have the good grace to shut up about our lack of cash when part of it was crated by his own contract. He then writes off the DoF idea (which may or may not work) and says the only solution is to throw money at the club. That would certainly help but so would scouting, youth etc. If the club doesn't have the cash then it can only do the best it can and why write off the idea immediately. He's then negative about Caixinha, conveniently forgetting that he's had more managerial experience than Ally himself had when he was appointed manager. His out of the box thinking is only to appoint a 69 year old who retired from football management almost 6 years ago and a 63 year old who hasn't managed in over 10 years. He is obviously still very pissed off about the fact that his lack of voting was leaked but all he is done is further damage his reputation in the eyes of our support. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 "Rangers need investment".... He really doesn't do irony or self-awareness, does he? Some of those comments are shameless and embarrassing at best and that's not withstanding the fact he was actually manager for a period of time when his reliance on the jobs-for-the-boys (overpaid boys at that) approach did nothing other than waste the golden opportunity we had to instil a whole new philosophy and approach to the playing and coaching side of things. As others have said, I'm guessing "Ally needs investment" which is why he's popping up all over the place at the moment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Is Ally homeschooling for a Degree in, stating the obvious? the guy has turned into Curly out the Three Stooges. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's right: last summer's transfer window was dreadful. I'd also add that the headline quotes about director of football we're misleading. He wasn't dismissing it as a bad idea, merely that it won't sort out all our problems. Which is true.
