I think it's a bit unfair to judge Ally on this seasons fiasco . When i say fiasco im not talking about on field i mean the whole situation the club has found itself in off the field. As a rookie manager in his first season i think Ally handled the situation with great dignity and skill, he has for me been a real shining light in arguably the darkest chapter in our great clubs 140 history .
On field we started the SPL campaign in blistering style racing into a 15 point lead, ofcourse Europe was a failure but even the great man Sir Walter has struggled in CLQ. There was also the poor cup results but for me the real turning point of the season was the Naismith injury , we lost form and momentum after that then the off field nightmare began. There is no way IMO that any manager no matter how experianced never mind somebody in their first season could fully concentrate on the team and on field matters , match preparations were affected, the players who's jobs were at risk could not possibly be 100% focused and the hammer blow of the 10 point deduction again would have been a mental factor.
I think Super Ally deserves another crack and TBH at this time with the current plight of our club there is no other man/men i would have in the managers seat other than Ally McCoist or Walter Smith .
