And he wouldn't lose a minutes sleep in the process. Ashley has played this like a fiddle. -
I wont fret over it just yet then.

Has he been promoted? Where does it say this?
-
To be fair I do the same after theirs every year because they only want to discuss us, and throw in a statement about how they could become one of the top teams in the world :-)

Rab, Can we leave this thread for AGM updates - please?

While I wish Kenny Mac all the best, I believe that the (sometimes temporary) upsurge in fortunes that is frequent when clubs get rid of the manager, is normally because of a new face with new ideas that the players want to impress. It's often because none of the players 'feared' letting the old manager down (which I think was certainly the case with McCoist - too pally wally with Ally), and a new boss brings the fear of being axed. Kenny's Mac's appointment is unlikely to bring any of these spin-offs unfortunately.

Just shows I know zilch :-)

Complete and utter speculation by the Mail. No evidence whatsoever (unfortunately) .

From reading today's article I could easily see him here until the end of the season - at least. If he gets the league form back on track (points wise) he will be here IMHO, but if not, then God knows.

I feel a song coming on - Willie, Oh Willie Johnston, Oh Willie Johnston on the wing, Willie, Oh Willie Johnston, Oh Willie Johnston on the wing.....We've got Willie, Willie,Willie, Willie Johnston on the wing, on the wing, we've got...............................Ah memories. Happy Birthday wee Bud! The wee man sitting on the 'baw against Bayern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgS8fEbRAMY. Is it just me? But the singing was brilliant back then.

Whats the Burtons link Zappa? I must have missed something.

You are so far out of the park with that assessment you will need a ticket to get back in. The people in their PR Dept will be pissing themselves laughing and to think otherwise.......I will stop there!!!

Daily Express take on it 'Rangers fans’ general disillusionment with the way their club is being run showed itself yesterday when punters were encouraged to snap up commemorative T-shirts for a mere League Cup semi-final. Supporters branded the merchandising ploy – ahead of February’s last-four clash with Celtic at Hampden – as a tacky embarrassment and an affront to the club’s previous status.'

I suppose its the balance between the cost of long term redundancies and your plans post TUPE.
-
Thank you. If you wish to PM me at any time I will give you some more words of 'wisdom'.
-
The thing I don't get about this 'legal minimum' is that you can't do it unless that is what your contract says you are entitled to. So the staff must have known that was in their contracts, and although they didn't expect to get paid off they don't have a leg to stand on. We are all only entitled to what our contract says. I'm not getting why it is more beneficial to pay redundancies to long term staff than to TUPE them over on the same 'minimum entitlement' contracts.

Right - he has made his bed and he will have to lie in it. Nobody really wanted him to be chased out of Ibrox in the same way that John Greig was (although I admit to being far more saddened by what happened to Greig at the time. There was no talk of walking away with huge pay offs in John's day. McCoist will do just fine financially. He played a hand over the last few days that I still haven't got my head around, but I think he wanted to create a stir and leave the board in an no-win situation, and the low key meeting today just backfired on him. They obviously sat with the minimum fuss and representation and said "OK Ally - resignation accepted. Now do you not have a job to do that we are paying you for? We're not paying you to sit in here.". My prediction is that they know he is a dud as a manager. They know he will keep failing. They know the fans will turn on McCoist. They know he will carry the can for the failure on the park. And McCoist will walk when the fans "affect him and his family" as he has stated. Quite sad really but he has been the orchestrator of a lot of it in the past week.

No way FFS
-
So what happens now to the stance he was supposedly taking regarding his PA being made redundant and players being sold under his nose in January? Has he just lost a poker hand 'cos I cant work it out??????
-
Un...fucking....believable. And on the 'car crash' panto goes.
-
FFS.................. I blame her.
