I think its a bit obvious what most peoples views on super ally are and I myself didn't think he was any good as a manager myself but when the unthinkable happened a few years I didn't see many socalled rangers men step up to the challenge so as much as he was inept as a manager he will always be a legend in my eyes for giving me so many joyful memories and fantastic old firm goals so thank you mr mcCoist for all your effort

06 Jun 2015 22:26:07
The man is an imposter and is no club legend

06 Jun 2015 22:47:43
I'm no fan but am I wrong in thinkin that this guy is your all time top goal scorer? Fair enough he struggled as manager but he's hardly an impostor! I'm bettin U cheered every time this so called impostor hit the back of the net for use??

07 Jun 2015 00:12:23
OP Step up to the challenge? The ONLY reason Ally stepped up to the challenge was the £17,,000 a week he received for his troubles mate, he was the highest paid "Manager" in Scottish football.

07 Jun 2015 07:58:54
Mccoist the is a club legend, just like John Greig just because he was an abysmal manager doesn't take away all his goals. that front 3 of mccoist hately and mo johnstone is the best we have ever had.

Club legends walk away from clubs that are struggling financially when things aren't working out , they don't squeeze every penny they can out of them.

07 Jun 2015 12:24:47
As far as Ally being a Club legend, possibly but his Rangers team mates made him that, Ally needed loads of chances to score, I'd like to see how his goals to chances stacks up. Luckily for him at Rangers when he played Rangers strikers got upwards of five clear cut chances a game, except for in Europe where Ally's record isn't nearly so good.

I'm not knocking Ally but any half decent striker would have scored plenty at Rangers, remember Marco Negri, I think it was 26 he scored before Christmas and all 5 against Dundee Utd one game. I don't think he was a wonder striker, he never done it anywhere else.

07 Jun 2015 12:31:58
Mr ranger john Greig wasn't any good as a manager but still has the respect of his peers and seen as a legend at our great club. I was just giving my opinion on super ally as a footballer first as that was who I grew up watching

07 Jun 2015 14:12:15
Well what do people say about Mark hateley the he was in bed with this board so to speak getting a pay check for "pr"

07 Jun 2015 15:03:00
Comparing McCoist with John Greig is ridiculous, both were good players but one has devoted his life to the club, the other took millions out of the already ailing club while destroying it from within.
John Greig may not have been the greatest manager but he has always had Rangers best interests at heart, which is precisely why he walked away from the club McCoist and his bosses where building, he knew he could stop it and didn't want to be part of it, unlike McCoist who couldn't wait to give them ALL his "official" approval and reap the very generous rewards, which he will continue to reap until December thanks to that contract he never read!

09 Jun 2015 10:39:52
as far as manager in the days that john greig was there there were no goal keeping coaches no assistant coaches no fitness coaches the board decided who they were buying john greig would have to do almost everthing includind ordering the pies not one bit of help they the albion training ground they had to basically run round macoist had more indians helping him thancochice there is no comparison between the 2 greig can always hold his head high with the way he served the club something macoist will never ever be able to do and wih the exception of whyte and green the club have always looked after him

some posters I just cannot beleive the way they rant and rave we are in the process of engaging a new manager we are only aweek on from from finding out where we will be playing next season they are involved in dialouge with mash trying to alter the terms of loans until we have a manager and see what players he wants to bring in we will be having a new share issue which king and the 3 bears have agreed to underwrite which means all the shares will be sold then they they will know what funds they then have to put into the club in the form of loans or whatever they have already made loans to help cash flow they have spent a considerable amount to purchase shares to wrestle control of the club from ashley and co yet there are fans on here demanding millions immediately things will be done in the manner they should be (the first time for a few years) we also have a board now who are not taking hanful of monies out the club with corrupt contracts and back door payments so let's give the club a chance purchase our season books and move upwards and onwards without all crap that's being posted

06 Jun 2015 16:31:26
Surely that's what this site is for? Rangers fans to.give there view on how they feel and what they would like to see happen at the club everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The main problem is we have all been deficated on from a great height for the last few years so yes we are impatient but our continued support is not In question all we want is to find out exactly what is going on behind the scenes at the club and how we are moving forward

06 Jun 2015 16:40:34
bigwull do you see any point in trying to engage with mash cause he will just tell us to take a hike so is pointless I can remember seeing anything about 3 bears and king underwriting the share issue so all shares are sold I only remember them saying they would invest in it fans are not demanding millions right away but would been nice to start on a even keel with our opponents for once they should have had a manager lined up and in the door the after the final day of season and signing clubs are already signing players and we ain't even got a manager Warburton is the manager to take us forward not back words like all the other ex rangers mangers mentioned we need a new set of eyes on things with no one associated to the club look it diela at Celtic managers need time not a few weeks

06 Jun 2015 17:01:13
craigs8688 Great post. Dealing with MASH is not the priority at this vital moment in time. Getting in a manager and players is.

Was on the phone to a pal who is a Blackpool and Rangers fan last night and he spoke about seeing Brentford play Blackpool in London earlier in the year. He said Brentford were great to watch, keen to go forward whenever possible, fit and knew how to pass the ball with confidence. The more I hear about Warburton the more I think he could be a breath of fresh air at Ibrox.

Hopefully he is not just using us to put himself in the shop window for another English club.

06 Jun 2015 17:58:48
Surely Warburton won't leave until he hears the sound of Champions League Football at Ibrox .

06 Jun 2015 18:31:46
naz your mate is spot on I watched the highlights every sat night and they would be guaranteed to score a few goals when there games where on playing football the right way not a lump up the park like the rest of managers at rangers previously even mccall resorted to this again Motherwell even before they scored first goal in second leg Warburton will be there for long term at least 3 4 years I would say
forget bout mash the team should be the priority just now and a new manager

06 Jun 2015 19:30:01
i bet it is worth talking to him because ashley and his serfs think they are clever but I am quite sure they left some evidence of wrondoings possibly with white and green the one thing ashley needs to stay ahead in his buisness empire is a ten carat gold reputation and if there evidence then its definetly time to engage with ashley I am also quite sure that evidence will exist hence the silence about what is happening

06 Jun 2015 21:01:39
Chris like your going to hear the champions league theme anytime soon unless uefa change the rules to let u have 3 or 4 goes at reaching the group stages,wise up fella,you're no better than a mediocre English championship side playing in the worst Scottish premerleague in recent history,you will only spend money when we are back in that hate filled league,why not worry bout you're own shortcomings,we will take care of ourselves and when the time comes we will be ready. How was Ofest today mate hope u haven't overdone the celebrations.

06 Jun 2015 23:06:35
Soronbear , I don't understand what league you are calling the hate- filed league , maybe you could explain . Person all I didn't see many examples of love - filled play-off games .

07 Jun 2015 08:00:00
There is no love in Scottish government football lol the fans of same teams can't even get along.

07 Jun 2015 08:19:38
Blind as well as deaf are we, the hand of friendship and cup of human kindness hardly overflows from yourselves,the Sheep and the Arabs to name just a few,when the obsessed fans of these clubs decide to sing it's invariably to direct hate filled bile at us,whilst making our way back up through the lower leagues it was a pleasure to go the away games 95% of them were more than welcoming,I would say in the spfl you could reverse that percentage. Yous even have a Web page dedicated to us to which you and other Tim posters on here are the contributors of bigotry. This by the way is only my observation but then again apparently I'm bitter.

06 Jun 2015 14:53:29
Onto thing brighter and better dave king will be in glasgow next week to name the manager next week which will be alex mcleish as dof

06 Jun 2015 15:11:05
My fingers are firmly crossed that this is wrong

06 Jun 2015 15:54:19
Alex mcleish got us to the last 16 in champion league with no money think again

06 Jun 2015 16:01:21
How many youngsters did he bring through

06 Jun 2015 16:20:54
Another step backwards as for having no money to do it don't make me laugh new fresh blood is what the club needs a whole new ethos and structure not back to the old boys brigade don't get me wrong I think he's a fantastic manager just think we need to be thinking more out the box this time we have a second chance at making a long term strategy and mcleish isn't the way forward for me

06 Jun 2015 16:26:52
Also he made probably 2-3 good signings the rest are surely.up there with the worst in club history

06 Jun 2015 16:54:50
Ok with no money with not really quality signing he still got us to last 16 with knowledge of the game wether he played for aberdeen or not he was a good manager grow up

06 Jun 2015 17:42:46
No money, I'm sure he spent the same if not a bit more than Celtic

06 Jun 2015 17:47:17
I like mcleish he done really well against a good celtic team but its time for change Warburton are cathro for me we have to have a coach who has a history for working with youngsters I personally don't think we will get any of them 2. hope i'm wrong though! As for the Portuguese coach I think it would be to big a gamble to bring him in to work in Scottish championship it would be such a culture shock for him.

06 Jun 2015 19:22:41
Please no more ex rangers players or previous managers , we need to get away from this blinkered approach .The next manager should be appointed on ability only ,played golf this morning with an Ipswich town supporter he said Brentford were a brilliant team to watch played it on the deck,I thought wouldn't that be nice to see rangers playing with the ball on the grass ,hopefully we make the right decision .

06 Jun 2015 22:31:21
Who mentioned Aberdeen follow follow?

06 Jun 2015 23:08:15
Follow follow , surely you mean if , not when Charles King gets his cheque book out .

07 Jun 2015 18:57:12
Mr Murray clarified today that they hoped to have a Manager in place by Friday .

06 Jun 2015 11:10:43
now now children its more to the point the board promised transparency months down the line we hear nothing so is it any wonder why fans are asking questions an announcement or some sort would have been the decent thing for the board to do instead of leaving us to argue between ourselves at the very least the should have had a manager lined up if they think dealing with ashley when king previously said he is no danger to them is more important than getting a manager and players signed up then they have got it wrong the team should always come first we where left to play catch up last season and by looks of things we are going to have to again and any manager should not be blamed and start of season if we are trailing in the league again I do not hate mr king murray ect they will be good for the club but they need get a move on with sorting things and need stop all the silly promises you can not build trust on broken promises hibs have all ready signed Carmichael and Keatings so you do not have to wait till the window opens to sign players let the as for tims jumping on to our post I couldn't care bout them its banter our fans do not demand the board chuck millions at us but I do think they need step up and take the burden of the fans at match it pound for pound with what the supporters put in realisticly we are going need most of the money this season to build a squad a blind man can see that fans are just frustrated at the pace of movement from the board they will get time to prove us wrong but like at any other football club they will also get scrutinised
that is just part of football and even more so at our club due to the problems we have had

06 Jun 2015 09:29:03
Personally for me if the board fail to tie down Warburton it will be a huge loss nobody has a bad word to say about him and we need to gamble on a new direction. As for all you fans suggesting mcleish get a grip please we need to move forward not backwards no ex manager should even be considered. Time for the board to pull the finger out there is about of work to be done by a new manager

06 Jun 2015 10:16:42
I agree to an extent azzlee but I can't agree that its time to gamble I think the opposite I think its time for stability, the question is is Warburton a gamble.

06 Jun 2015 10:29:10
Jyf fair point perhaps gamble was the wrong word I think Warburton is a step in the right direction and that's what we need a change of direction and a fresh approach although I agree 100% we need stability

06 Jun 2015 10:39:15
i now see it saying in the paper smith could return as manager if the job is not sorted out soon this is becoming a joke with all the ex managers players mentioned new direction needed not old friend reunion act the Portuguese manager could be getting sacked by his club so the club could move for him again aswel

06 Jun 2015 10:54:30
Nothing wrong with Smith for me. He is a truly great Ranger AND manager what is there to object to?

06 Jun 2015 10:57:21
Craigs8688. any manager rangers approach,of a decent reputation will want big bucks,they no gers need back up asap.and are entering the desparation faze,we are a couple of weeks behind hibs on moves.i just hope the board have been on the blower 24/7 making moves,we have spent crazy money on ally,but it would be worth paying for a proven manager/coach.pay the money get them in and get new players through the door.my first singning amoung many would be a goalie,bell's level is not rangers,liability,even before sundays howler.

06 Jun 2015 11:18:15
jyf just think it time for a change of direction ye Walter record was good but leave that in the past
i agree laudrup22 we should spend a wee bit more to get the right manager in and Warburton is the man for me the Portuguese manager I don't no nothing about so can't comment on him yeh bell has defiantly got to go Alexander was better than him being saying this about bell for while now

06 Jun 2015 11:49:56
Craigs8688. wallace,stik or get rid?watch him in all play off games at ibrox.plenty space to use his speed and power against 1 defender. but nope passes inside every time,not the same player.law. p45.miller. tries,but lost 2 seconds on pace.mcgregor. duries still out for me.murdoch. a wee shining light,if he is coached right he will get even better.hardie. looks dangerous on wing,again coached right we could have a player.

06 Jun 2015 12:46:18
I'd take Walter in a minute, though it would only be a short term fix. The man commands respect from everywhere in the football world. I think the fans would buy into it no problem. Legend!

06 Jun 2015 13:13:38
Walter smith would only take the job if he had £30m min to spend, and another £20m next year. Smith does not blood young players, he was a cheque book manager.

06 Jun 2015 13:50:50
laudrup22 for me I am same with wallace there is no end product with him and his defending is questionable because he is two far up field then we get on the counter I see point if he was whipping good crosses ect into the box but he doesn't I can not see him leaving but if offered money for him I would take it and get a left back who can defend law and miller should leave but yet again can not see it happing due to having to rebuild rest of squad magreger would keep him murdoch needs prove himself tom walsh is that the winger you mean he needs start most games next season along with our striker ryan hardie we need get rid of dead wood and gel the youngsters with a 4 5 quality players then I would be excited for the season a head new goalkeeper new right back new centre back new centre mid and new striker off good quallity should be top of the list then put youngsters around them

06 Jun 2015 15:39:41
we do not need walter if there are no stickout candidates macall should be given a 1 year contract I still think warburton would be a risk because u must ask urself why did he not get his contract renewed when the brentford were playing well and the press were heaping praise on him something does not seem right if he was that good and he has had no top class offers in period leading up from the time it was announced his contract was not being renewed
