First Billy Davies, Then Derek McIness and now Terry Butcher, and we are left with this parasite McCoist and his jokeroom staff, gogogogogogogogogo ffs please, its unbearable.

For god sake what true Rangers fan would refer to our manager as a parasite he is a club legend you may not want him as a manager that's ok me I think he is doing just fine unbeaten well clear at the top of the league what else do you want from a manager for god sake let him take it back to the top league then judge him in that league if he fails there we can look at it but he is never a parasite he brought many a joyfull day to me

@1 I'm guessing the OP is referring to mccoists disgustingly fat and completely unjustifiable salary, which he has been happy to take whilst backroom staff (whose annual salaries mccoist earns every few days) are being made redundant. That qualifies him as a parasite in my book. Legend blah de blah, that was then, this is now.

I have stated prior to this that Ally is not the man fo the job imo we have missed a bid oppertunity in not getting big Tel at the start.
He has proven at Caley how to build a time on limited funds.
Re the parasite jibe again sorry Ally unless you show that the 1P you paid for your shares were another big cash payoff our club could do without your days are truley numbered come the AGM.
I am sorry in stating this op but you certainly have made plenty out our club.
No wonder you don't do walking away!!

Have to agree, Ally is a best. a mediocre manager who will struggle when back in big league as he did last time.
Our big problem here is that to pay him off and get another manager in will cost money that Rangers can not afford. Unfortunatly.

A team Ally has put together is doing the job, unbeaten in league in 1 cup final (b4 u all start) it might be the ramsdens cup bit still further than we went last season, next round in another cup hope we get a good run, Ally reducing his wages yes ok still a lot more than other managers in the top league never mind this one but again he took a pay cut. Ally should be given until we are back in top league then we will see how he does, for all you Sly haters out there did none of ever think that maybe by that tome his contract will be up and we most likely will have another manager in place with money to spend on players. Also I feel the team we have would hold their own in top league full of former spl players all we need when we get back should be 2-3 players at most, we don't need anymore for this season maybe 1-2 for next season and we should still wall the championship. We are all Rangers fans we should support all the team and club!

@1 although parasite is maybe a bit harsh it's probably not too far off the mark. The ridiculous salary, the 1p shares and the personic comment about signing a contract and not knowing the amount he was on are an insult to all the Rangers fans. As for your comment about him just doing fine just now. It's only because he has far more resources than the rest of the league. your view is very short term the club isn't building for the future, virtually all the young players who played last season have been tossed to the side to make way for players like Foster, Smith and Black all of whom will be finished by the time we get back to the top flight. All Ally has done is spend money on a team that will win a part time league. £7.8m a year to win div 1 ludicrous

Ludicrous maybe but the money being spent is not to win div 1, it is to get a strong squad in place for return to the so called big league. Would it be better to spend nothing and probably struggle to get promotions? Then spend it all in a oner on return to top div.

@7 to get a strong squad in place for return to the big league? Do you really think in 2 years time Foster, McCulloch, Black, Smith, Daly will be of the standard of the big league? Do you believe that Faure, Little, Crawford and Hutton are players required to challenge in the big league? Are you not a bit alarmed that players like Gasperatto, McKay and McAusland have made way for older players? A team is not being built but rather to get back to the top league and then what? The way it's being run just now a lot of bears fans are going to get a rude awaking in the top league never mind top 2 we might make top 6

@8 That rude awakening will happen if we meet Dundee United in the Cup with their 17 year old two goal hero yesterday Ryan Gauld. If your good enough your old enough. Oh yeah and there is nothing like Murray Park near Tannadice.
But let's hopefully get the good guys in at the AGM and with "proper" money men in charge the importance of your own youth will be recognised.

I can't remember when they won the league at tannadice it says everything doesn't it

What true Rangers fan registers as "McCoist must do walking away"? The man's on a 16 in a row winning streak and I don't know what better you want. There are other teams out there to support.

@11 would be nice if he could have achieved all that at a fraction of the cost or if the team had been full of good young players from Murray Park. McCoist appears unable to do either

Op I don't know about first two but terry b has said he would not take the rangers job and n6 that's what nl does at parkhead he buys more expensive player than the others in top league its a known fact if a team has a bigger turn over then they can afford better players that's a fact

Id keep ally he's proving himself now against some of the bigger clubs in the division. His tactics have been spot on and he took that big massive wage cut remember, he's a true club legend and I believe there should be a statue of him standing next to john greig

I concur unreservedly with biarya

just a point to No, 2
Does that make Larsson a parasite? he also took a fortune out of his club for scoring goals in Scotland,
In your words Legend Blah de blah, or is he different in your tiny little mind,
Tommyblue

@5. What was Allys pay cut?. don't remember it ever been made public or signed for that matter. CEO walked away just as it was in media Ally would take pay cut, didn't look at contract he was signing. Blah blah blah. Paracite, liar. & hey ho after a 2 minute conversation with "stand in" chairman. Super sally is backing him. CMON!! what's that all about?

@16 tommyblue Henrik larsson earned his wages scoring in the top flight and europe

@ 18 Agreed Larsson was a playing legend as McCoist was for us. For some bears McCoist is definitely not a managerial legend and according to A Rangers blogger on Ibrox Noise has not in fact started his reduced salary of £412, 500. 00 and is in fact still on £825,000. 00.

Just saying- I don't know but the blogger seemed to be sure of his facts- now that would be bad- wouldn't it?

12 Nov 2013 08:09:46
@18, so did Ally McCoist,?and actually a lot more than Henrik, now he, s the manager, doesn't matter what you think of him, he, s still working for rangers isn't he? The point was the guy said "legend blah de blah, that was then, " did he not? I simply asked if the same criteria applied to Others?

listened to the Tam Cowan show on radio today, forgetting the fact that no show could be be more ante RFC than this, heard the biggest load of BS ever saying scottish football is looking good right now, all the usual cra. about being competitive in all leagues. Is it not possible there should be a system where you need to pass an intelligence test before you are allowed to broadcast.

You do know Tams programme is a light entertainment programme that pokes fun at everyone you need to lighten up a bit OP

Oops Tam obviously does not read his employers reports.
"The Scottish Premier League's average attendance fell by 28%, from 13, 855 to 10, 020, although that figure was skewed by the liquidation of Rangers, who are now in the Scottish Third Division".
The great unwashed are down from 50, 904 to 46, 917. And Even we are down to 45, 750 from 46, 324. So eh Tam I would get new researches in sir.

@2 As your own quote says, the figures you refer to are a total average which is skewed by absence of rangers. If you look at individual clubs then most of their attendances have actually slightly increased since we've been out spl. that's why people saying relatively healthy looking. All my non-gers mates are really enjoying the spl without us there, we're not missed financially or otherwise. that's not hate driven bile, just simple reality.

@1, don't completely disagree but even you will surely agree that by far the majority of the ''poking fun'' most certainly leans towards one club.

Teams like DUFC appear to be managing to get rid of part their debt at moment? how can they be doing that when in your words Scottish Football is on the way down?
Remember we appear to be the biggest money losing team in Scotland at the moment so what's it going to be like when we need to compete with the bigger teams? and need to pay even more bloody wages? big attendances won't help. so?will we just keep losing milllions or "cut our cloth" and as for Cowan he pokes fun at everything and everyone its call fun. jokes. laughs. remember we used to be able to do that? without caring about others. Take it the way its meant fun fun fun not anti Rangers for F. S.

N3 it was reported in the papers that all crowds are down in scotish football
