ian1964 10,626 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 RANGERS manager Ally McCoist has defended his relationship with Craig Whyte and insisted they are not at odds â?? even though the chairman failed to land several of his top summer targets. Ally McCoist singled out Carlos Cuellar, David Goodwillie, Tomer Hemed and Roland Juhasz as priority signings but failed to get any of them. That has led to suggestions that all is not well between the Rangers boss and majority shareholder Whyte, but McCoist is adamant they are very much united with the same goal â?? of leading Rangers to future glory. When asked about the issue, McCoist said: â??I canâ??t understand why people would say that. â??I have a fine and absolutely good working relationship with Craig. â??We speak on the phone regularly and we have regular meetings when he is up at Ibrox. â??I would have to say that it is a very good relationship. ì I fully appreciate there will be things you say that will fall on deaf ears î Ally McCoist â??It is my first with an owner, so I canâ??t compare it with anything else. â??We speak regularly, we are in contact regularly and we certainly share the desire and need for the club to do well and results to be good.â? McCoist knows that people have questioned the clubâ??s signing policy and the fact they have maybe had to look below their A-List. â??I appreciate that but there is nothing I can do about that,â? he insisted. â??There is nothing I can say other than what I am saying that can maybe influence these people. â??I fully appreciate there will be things you say that will fall on deaf ears, no matter what the opinion is, because other people have already made up their own opinion. That is a fact. â??All I can do is be honest and call it the way I see it. These are facts, of course. We went for Goodwillie and people like that, we canâ??t deny that.â? McCoist was frustrated to miss out on some of his targets but admitted he is now more than happy with the business he has done. He said: â??You have to accept there are players you like but wonâ??t get. â??That is part and parcel of things. The most important thing is you donâ??t let it bother you because you owe it to your players to give everything you have got. â??That is certainly going to be the case in the future.â? The Rangers boss is also confident the clubâ??s on-going tax problems with HMRC wonâ??t derail the quest for silverware. McCoist said: â??Quite frankly there is nothing I can do to affect it. â??The one thing I can have a massive influence on is the team and results. Iâ??d hope and think something like this, as serious as it is, would not affect results and performances on the pitch.â? http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/270356/No-fall-out-with-chairman-says-Ally-McCoist 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
