I only hope so that's 200k a year saved it will be interesting to see if he spouts off if he keeps quiet he must have had his contract paid up the more I think about things the amount of secrecy surrounding things whyte must be blue pitch and other margareta between macoist and the whole sorry scenario I really think everthing is going to turn into a lost cause if dave king puts there backs to the wall they will do anything to get there money back with profit all rangers assets will go I know I have moaned and groaned about about doom and gloom merchants but the longer it goes on the worst it gets

@1 At last your head pops out the sand. Now try and keep it out. I'm sure all the doom and gloom merchants will be accept your post as an apology for your past delusions. Welcome to reality.

I prefer the term realist rather than doom and gloomist. Anyway, no Hard feelings lbj d, just nice to see some are begining to awaken from this lengthy hibernation. about time.

I am arealist that's why I say if dave king backs them into a corner where they can't sell shares they hold security over all the assets for what ever amount they claim they are owed the will sell the lot no more ibrox murray park anything because that's what will happen if season book money is held off them

Never said you weren't mate. Just glad to see you're now open to the idea that concern for the future is not just doom and gloom for the sake of it. You may have noticed a post from me last week where I stated I don't have any particular rason to trust King either. I think his past is at the very least questionable. I'm certainly not ready to 'jump into bed' with him so to speak.

King wants club for nowt along with park and co as I have said the season ticket books withheld takes us to edge of the abyss the only way to get rid of them is buy there shares for real money not 20p a share when they trade at 30p someone needs to organise all the fan support to pay £25/ month whic would be affordable to most people

Baybear I trust dave king a million percent more than I trust the people running our club the current crew are only involved for the money they can swindle out the side door dave king would look to make money but he would not be as desperate as the current bandaleros we know he supports the team this crew had to use sat nav to find ibrox

Fair enough tnwnn. Not here to convince anyone otherwise. We're all entitled to an opinion. I'm just a bit wary given how long we've been lied to (including SDM) and Mr Kings questionable financial past. Time will tell I suppose

Why don't all the fans demand sally leaves, if not stop going to ibrox don't sit on your hands and watch that rubbish.

The moment you use childish names for ally no one will have an interest in your point of view.

OP he ain't going anywhere. He will leave when he decides because we are a rudderless ship just now - and not just on the pitch so no one is going to fire him. The mutterings of discontent will need to grow a lot louder and even if Mosnhi's goal had been disallowed- who would sack him? The league will most likely be wrapped up tomorrow and Albion Rovers have the handicap of playing the replay two days after the Saturday league fixture which is a disgrace so a lot of fans will be more concerned with the Dundee United semi and less concerned about the garbage that is currently being served up.
Those of us who want change are not going to get it in the near future - sadly. IMO

N1 we all know that the supporters of the grey and green hoops always refer to ally by this name

s t v headline ally says everyone should step back and look at it radically he has no fears for his job how brassed necked is that if he was chocolate he would eat hiself when really he ias as much good as chocolate firegaurd

He really is doing himself no favours not only is he putting loyal fans off him he's putting loyal off Rangers so are the board & the players it's an absolute shambles. I'd take Admin right now if it ment we could sort ourselves out.

I'm aware my above post sounds stupid but just as a hypothetical if that would get rid of the board the manager his staff and a few players. Then Cut costs & wages etc actually make the hard choices that have to be made Get the club back running on an even keel I could deal with it. In no way do I want Rangers to go into administration but no doubt about it our club needs a massive shake up!

Ally would be 1st man out of a job if we go into administration, we wouldn't need a 3rd rate manager on 425k a year in the dugout.

I would hope so sweep & we don't need all those coaches either. That would be if we got decent administrators in this time.

I am afraid 425k is no where near its 850 k he did not take a pay cut he took a deferment I have sitting hear boiling up scince I listened to him on s t v I could to put it midly I could choke him and honestly why should we expect a team thta plays attractive football we have no laudrops gasciogne no no hately butch wilkins and the list goes on how can he stand and say such pure utter garbage and expect everyone to agree with him dundee utd aberdeen st johnstone they don't have players costing millions nor are there players earning 7k and more but they have managers that coach and come up with tactics that win games so why should supporters expect us to play decent football honestly this just about puts the the tin hat on it for me unless something happens to improve things I reckon this will be my last season ticket I wil may be go to certain gaames next season or if there is no difference I might not go at all

Ally knows the board need him

I 'WAS' a person who stood behind ally. I grew up watching him and he has given me many many great memories and I thank him for that. However I have finally changed my mind. Its taken awhile through blinkered glasses but I have to accept the facts, I think that is the reason many of us still stick up for him, he isn't just joe bloggs he is Ally McCost. However he needs to leave, he has won 2 leagues, got us to a cup final. On paper it will be a good record. But his time is up and I hope fans remember him for his playing days more than anything else.
As to the idea of a new manager and some people saying no one would join the club as it is just now. I have to referrer you to Allys wages. On that type of money we would have huge pulling power. We have a good squad, bar a few hangers on, who just need managed better. I think its the ideal job for a young up and coming manager. 'if' the club was to fall apart again. It wouldn't be a mark on his record and he would be able to walk into a new job.
Also, Ally when you do leave us, please please get yourself back on Question of Sport.

I admire your honesty OP, and your ability to still retain some sort of affection for Ally.
Just two points I'd like to make from your post
1) I'd like to think that if someone new comes in it won't be on such a ridiculously high wage. We simply cannot sustain that sort of spending and the amount is wholly unjustified in my opinion.
2) I cannot see Ally getting another managers job after leaving us. All he has proved himself to be is a cheque book manager and the clubs that have money to spend wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Managing at this level cannot rely on money as there is none. The only reason he's got away with it so far is because we've let him.

Baybear

How can you class Ally as a cheque book manager when he has been unable to buy a player in nearly two years granted players like Cribari are under par but they were brought in at last minute to try and fling a team together and since then we have only signed freebies and he has builtba good squad base we have a class keeper the best left back in Scotland. Moshni. Is a decent centre half just needs a partner macleoud is fantastic law is decent Templeton has skills and is young Daly is a quality target man. I think we should so the loyalty to mccoist that he has shown to us and see what he does with some funds and when he is back in the premier league

{Ed039's Note - Some folk make me laugh)

Agbroxi. seriously?! Have a wee think about it mate. It's not just about spending money on a fee. There are other factors such as massive wages for players a decent manager wouldn't even need. Have a look at the rest of the teams in every division bar Celtic and tell me who's paying the same as we are? Do you think the players Ally brought in came for the ambition of playing Albion Rovers etc? I reckon being paid 4, 5, 6k per week to compete against part timers on £40 might have had something to do with their loyalty don't you? As for staying loyal to Ally if you're serious about that there really is no hope. I'll leave you to mull that over yourself mate. Maybe you'll have a wee epiphany.

Agbroxi, your at the wind up, right?

Agribox u are another that was put tosleep during nine in a row and brought at hogmanay and have been blotto scince sober up and smell the cofee

We only need to see what our ex premier league players were getting paid before they came to ibrox to see why they jumped at chance to play for rangers fc

Oh I say poster 2 can we assist? Perhaps if you list the other symptoms?

N2 if rangers had no money to spend do you think ally would have got us out of the 4th division using the now under 20eez do you think he would have got them playing the way good has them playing now

Since the day Ian black for rangers I've always disliked him in blue, but after his performance on Sunday and comments made in paper today I've lost any respect I had for him.

The guy is an absolute disgrace in my opinion. He should have never been anywhere near a Rangers jersey in the first place. The last time I felt this against a signing was the day we signed Diouf. Another who demonstrated how low our standards and morals had dropped.

Ime sure black was back at the painting when we offered him a contract at ibrox so he could have been signed on 2 grand a week ime sure he would not get that kind of money working as a semi skilled worker
