Record Back Page - Ally, I Need New Players

[Bluedell 5,679]

Roberts was signed b4 January unless I'm mistaken

 

They didn't have the January transfer window back then, so the effect would be the same (not that I'm necessarily agreeing with Ally on the signing of players).

[Frankie 8,665]

I'd much rather Ally commented on the struggling footballing operation at the club in general than suggest continual squad changes are the only solution.

 

Of course we should always be looking to strengthen our squad but our transfer record is poor because the whole operation is poor. Therefore, until we improve scouting and player development at the club then any and all transfers are unlikely to be successful.

 

And, obviously, we have no money to do any of the above, so hiding from that fact does no-one any favours - not least the manager.

[chilledbear 16]

Any competent Manager should win this League with the players already at Ibrox. In fact they should be blooding youngsters and still be winning every game.

boosting the squad mid season can be a great idea and we need those 8 international class players sooner rather than later.

and a better manager too

[buster. 5,262]

10-20 times more than them isn't enough to compete with them just now embarrassingly, what more does he want? What will he be like in the SPL when we won't be able to compete with Celtic financially?

 

So far, it's been as if he's been in charge of a 4th year school team playing in the 2nd year league (x2).

Now you have a couple of sides in the league that might be classed as '3rd year outfits'.

 

Put simply, Ally isn't compatible with a viable business model in any direction you care to look.

Just as those in and around the RIFC board aren't compatible with the interests of TRFC.

I suspect Ally is taking the pysh, and being allowed to get away with it.

 

I advise Ally to play Lewis MacLeod in the right hand berth of the midfield middle two.

I'm not convinced even with a brilliant manager that we have the resources defensively to win this league.

 

In fact with bell missing from GK i'd say our options are absolutely appalling.

[Ser Barristan Selmy 222]

We need at least 8 international class players before August.

With our infrastructure and manager we'd need to spend about £100m to win the SPL.

 

That's presuming we get promoted which is unlikely.

[True_Ger_1872 2]

Of course, quite a few of our current squad see the end of their contracts coming up next summer. They should perform like hell to get an new one ...

 

I fully agree. However at Ibrox these days, that doesn't seem to matter. i.e. Kyle Hutton!
