Rangers Banter Archive December 28 2013

Over the last year or two there has been a large numbers of fans calling for Ally to be sacked. I think this is very harsh.

He is Rangers, and so you can guarantee he is just trying to get Rangers back to what they were.

The fact we are over budget is not down to Ally. Its not up to the manager to decide if he has over spent or brought in too many players. The CEO, Chairman and Financial Director manage the budget and tell the manager that they need to get rid of players to cut costs. This was not done with Green and Mather. So all Ally is doing is trying to get the best team to entertain the fans and win the games.

Last season was harsh, there was no pre-season for most of the players and then they were put together at very short notice. But I do admit there wasn't anything to shout about last season. But at least we got promoted.

We have won nearly every game this season and played well in most of them, but you know every team can have an off day. I bet if the current Celtic team played in Div 1, they wouldn't win every game and win in style.

Ally has offered to cut his wages, which should have been done when we dropped down the divisions, but it wasn't. But he has offered it, and when the board is sorted they will cut his wages.

I must admit I don't think Ally is the best manager I have ever seen. And I worry if we ever face Celtic in the cup in the next year or two. But honestly, who would do a better job than Ally just now? Who would drop down the divisions to and stay with them through all the crap that has happened? I realise he has been on good money, but most managers would have left after the administration.

Please back him. He just needs a stable board who set a budget and we can get back to the SPL/ Premiership and be stable.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Rangers fans

John Grieg was Rangers but that didn't save him from the sack for not being good enough. Ally isn't on good money he is on amazing money. He only offered to cut his money once it came out what he was on and not when we were playing in the 3rd division. Another one who then uses the argument about who else would take the job hardly a glowing recommendation for Ally. Ally isn't the man to take the club forward he had an opportunity to bring through the youth players and build a team but what has he done he has overpaid journeymen players. The team isn't being built to challenge on the top league and this will become apparent when we struggle in the top division

"Who would drop down the divisions to and stay with them through all the crap that has happened?"

Is that a serious question? This is Rangers we're talking about. Plenty of much more tactically astute managers would have jumped at the chance to manage our great though troubled club for a tenth of the money Ally is on. Not to mention the 1 penny shares.

The reason McCoist plays players out of position, he has not got a clue,

Bring back Alex McLeish now, don't wait till we have a few bad results, McLeish with eric black as No 2, is the answer

Agree Ally doesn't have a clue, and not just in how to pick a team?
He hasn't a clue how books get balanced? he just wants to keep spending what's bloody school did this fool go, to? We are losing a million a month, and he wishes to add to it? what a complete person.

Agree, I would give mcdowell a chance

Alex mcleish for me

Op if re were to get big eck the money saved on his wages would probably mean no need for cuts by getting am and also getting rid of fringe players we could maybe strenthin for next season
