Super Cooper

Unsurprising he wants Ally given yet another chance. I am delighted Walter has gone. The game has passed him by.

The point is we missed several payments and tried our hardest to ignore bills. He avoided as many as he could.

Rapid almost had us reported to Uefa for not paying them on time and Matt McKays club had to chase us for money after we tried to avoid them too. Then there is all the little creditors who were left out of pocket because Whyte refused to pay them. And of course the tax money we didn't pay.

We were not paying bills. Why would it be remiss to assume the club is stable? Why does everything have to be a problem, shady or wrong? Would people be upset if we are genuinely healthy and doing well?

I agree with most of that but would like to know in what way our club is not stable. We are paying bills, we are signing players, teams are being picked, matches are being played. Right now, the SPL is years away and competing with Celtic is light years away, especially under this management team. The football team needs fixed rightnow, the infighting amongst the board members is hard to comment on as we don't know the exact in and outs. I don't even think it is something we can influence sadly.

I don't wear blinkers. My priority is the football club, the football side of things and the top guy there is the manager, of which, ours is incompetent and needs removed. When did fans get so knowledgeable and so involved with the company side of supporting their football clubs?

He's a tim.

I fail to see how this is a sad day? If anything it should make life easier for the board to remove our incompetent manager.

Werder Bremen are not Rangers and have been in decline for a few years now. Pointless comparison. Also to compare the lower league clubs in the worlds strongest footballing country to that of the lower leagues in Scotland is ridiculous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1._FC_Saarbr%C3%BCcken I fail to see how anyone can compare Forfar Athletic to FC Saarbrucken!

Rangers are keeping the media alive. The only show in town.

Probably in the minority but him leaving would not bother me one bit. What exactly has he done bar guarantee Ally his job?

The kids kit is £35 up until age 7 which is fine and in line with every other club. 7 and above however it is £65. An absolute disgrace. My son won't be getting any of them. They are not even that nice. If it was Adidas i wouldn't even think twice too.

Disgusting stuff from Ally. The words of a man out of his depth and completely lost. God knows how far back he has took us over the last few years, i dread to think. If these players are not good enough then why are we paying them so much in wages? Why are we paying mediocre players so much money to play for our club? Why should we have to pay players more than other clubs to play for us? They were happy with £500 pw with provincial clubs, why then do we need to pay them a few thousand per week and then moan they are not good enough when they get found out?

Poyet would be an unbelievable appointment.

You don't think Green could do that or that he didn't say that Bomber?

Do you think he could win a mental, technical and tactical battle with Neil Lennon under the pressure of an old firm tie? It's all very well getting one over them on one off occasions but the big one.......

How good would it be though to have a real Orange manager?

Cracking reply.

Say what you want about Lennon but comparing the Rangers and Celtic manager is a perfectly normal thing to do. They just happen to have a complete animal in charge just now.

I see Allys PR team are out in force this evening. Defending the indefensible.

Ally has gave us more than a few which could be considered our worst ever. Annan was a real low.

Exactly. It's a non contest. He also took a mediocre Dunfermline side to a national cup final and managed a Ramsdens Cup win with a small Highland club. He has also wont he SPL manager of the month award on 5 occassions, how many has Ally won? When you compare the budgets and resources both men have had to work with, it's a no brainer who is the better manager.

He actually talks a very good game. Having spent 20 years in Holland, he has obviously picked up things Ally could never have. I disagree. Jimmy proved at more than one club he is actually not a bad manager, unlike Ally. He has done things as a manager Ally could only dream of and with a fraction of any budget Ally has ever had. Jimmy is a man who has learned his trade properly and done took the manager road the hard way picking up experiences Ally will never get.

The thing is, when the new 8 are introduced we will walk the league, does that mean he is a good manager? No it doesn't. A man who needs to outspend his opponents so much just to win against them is not a good football manager. We will be found out at a higher level, no doubt. The new 8 will merely paper over the cracks we have at Rangers, it won't be doing us any favours long term.

Not a chance. He is to Rangers what Neil Lennon is to Scottish football, mediocre yet untouchable.
