UCF2008 0 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Nobody claims he's the next coming of Jose Mourinho but he's way above what we have now. Why? What has he done that's even remotely relevant to our current set of circumstances? What do you base that claim on? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF2008 0 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 McCoist has no track record, Davies clearly does even if opinions differ on how good it is. Did you say Walter Smith or Graeme Souness had no track record during 9-in-a-row? McCoist does have a track record. He's been with us at management level for 3 SPL title wins, 2 Scottish Cups, 3 League Cups and a UEFA cup final. He led us to a comfortable 2nd place in the SPL last season despite the club being in turmoil and in spite of being docked ten points. He's on the verge of winning the first title on the way back at the first time of asking despite having to build a whole team within a month last summer. What has Billy Davies achieved in 15 years that compares? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The video of Davies shows you nothing more than an insight into the man's dedication and a somewhat 'obsession' of the game. Only makes him 'look' a better manager than McCoist. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows how poor Ally is that you're counting things won when he was an assistant. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Promotion to the Premiership, and four other play-off finishes in a bitch of a league to get out of. Achieved with teams more than capable of doing so. He had an absolute nightmare of a time with Motherwell which might be an indicator of how he copes against the odds in Scottish football. He did well at Preston with the team he inherited from Craig Brown. He did achieve promotion with Derby via a 3rd place finish and playoff, a team who were a top flight side for six years through to 2002 and had reached the championship play-offs the year before Davies took over. Having won promotion he got 6 points from 14 games in the prem he left 'by mutual consent' in the November as they sat bottom. He reached the playoffs and failed twice with Forrest, a club with a rich and proud history. That they've gone back to a manager they sacked says more about the state they're in than anything else. It shows how poor Ally is that you're counting things won when he was an assistant. Assistant Manager is a management position and whether you like it or not those achievements will sit proudly on Ally's CV and count towards his management track record. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,114 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm not the biggest Billy Davies fan (impressive though that video is) but I've seen absolutely nothing under the charge of McCoist that gives any sign of hope for the future, the warning signs were evident as early as Malmo and Maribor, all our travails have simply masked the situation and provided an excuse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even earlier, did we not lose to a German amateur team in pre-season? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
