JamieG54 812 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 He believes that hanging around when players know a manager is leaving just doesn’t work out – which is something that shouldn’t fill Rangers fans with hope in the event that McCoist does hang around.Strachan said: “I was in a position at Southampton where I said to the chairman I was leaving in the summer, This was in the September.“Only he – and somebody else – knew but it leaked about November when Southampton were fourth in the Premiership.“I had to leave in February because there was a grey area there and that was with such a well-run club. It had become a grey area with the players - who would be the next manager and things like that? Rupert decided enough was enough.“To me it didn’t make any difference but it seemed it did to everybody round about me when they knew the manager was moving on.“It became different with the players. I couldn’t put my finger on it. They were still great with me and they kept working as hard as they could but there was a bit of a difference there.VIEW GALLERY “Whether that will be the same for Ally I don’t know. There was a difference with Ally’s situation. I was at a stable club. It never changed at Southampton but Rangers is a bit different because there is turmoil in the background. Whether it makes any difference to the players or the staff at that club I don’t know.“At Southampton, somebody set the situation off on a spin by leaking that I was going. But at Rangers it is already in full spin at the moment, so I don’t know how it will go from here.“I’m sure most folk would agree that the club (Rangers) is not really sure how it is being run at the moment.”McCoist has been showing signs of the stress he’s been under fighting the constant upheaval at Ibrox over the last three years.And while Strachan would admit he’s never had to steer a club through the kind of financial carnage that has hit Ibrox, he knows what pressure can do a manager in a physical and mental sense.VIEW GALLERY He added: “I can tell signs of managers who are stressed. I’ve been watching managers who have been under pressure in England.“I can tell right away – there are physical signs. Sores on their lips – there’s one at the moment who has two of them. My wife will say to me, ‘He’s under pressure isn’t he?’ because she’s seen it.“With me, I used to get a thing on my nose when I was under pressure.“I wouldn’t go out for dinner on a Saturday night. I was talking to Paul Hartley recently and he said the same – he can’t arrange anything because he’ll spoil the night for everybody else who’s there. It’s better to just sit in the house.“I would imagine it’s multiplied in Glasgow but any big, big job will have that stress.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hes a wanker. But hes hit the nail on the hit with that. Ally needs to go. Were never going to get any better with him hanging around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ally knows it doesn't work, that's why he handed his notice in so that he's asked to leave the building with 12 months salary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We've already witnessed this scenario before during Walters first stint in charge, it didn't work then and it would be an even worse scenario this Time around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneRalfRoss 301 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Think only time I agree with this fool . No healthy for team if McCoist stays . Hopefully he gone tommrow and we have big reshuffle in the team . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therightway 65 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Strachan for manager.At least if it wasn't working out he would leave without waiting for a payoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muz333 359 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Strachan for manager.I'm probably crazy but I'd take that. He's a good manager and I don't think he really cared about Celtic anyway. If memory serves right did they not want rid of him because he wasn't like minded enough?

Fiogh 178 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I was talking to Paul Hartley recently and he said the same – he can’t arrange anything because he’ll spoil the night for everybody else who’s there. It’s better to just sit in the house. That's just because Paul Hartley is a wanker though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I wonder if any of these articles will have any impact on McCoist or if he's still going to float around in his bubble thinking he's doing a great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
