MisterBlueSky 259 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 For those who still can still accept this man as a legend despite his penny shares, media interviews, and being the worst manager in our history, check out some info from the court case... Ally McCoist's "golden contract" The trial heard that when Rangers legend Ally McCoist became the club's assistant manager under Walter Smith, there was a penalty clause put into his contract that said if he did not become manager when Smith left, the club was going to have to pay him an "enormous" amount of money. Smith, McCoist's long-term mentor, only seemed to learn the full extent of the deal when he was given details in the witness box. He told defence lawyer Donald Findlay QC: "Mr McCoist obviously negotiates his own contracts, so he's possibly a bit brighter than I am The man is not a legend. He is a fraud and has only ever been after one thing. He should be removed from the HOF and never let near Ibrox again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ok, we know that he was a money grabber. But if after the last 24hrs you think he's the real villian here mate then think again. If anyone feels the need to vent their spleen then at least look for someone on the Financial Times Rich List and ask why our training ground still officially bears his name.

DennyBlueNose 652 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Fuck sake, that's ridiculous. So he was going to get rich no matter what then. I'm torn, I idolized him growing up and it's hard to forget all the good times he's given us but when he hear more things like this come out it's hard to ignore just how much he screwed us over and took every penny he could from the club. No fucking wonder he didn't walk away. McCoist the player, legend. McCoist the manager, fucking leech who took every penny he could from the club when we were on our knees.

thehost 11,061 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Who gave Ally his contract, who sat on the board as non-execs for the very purpose of stopping things like this, from the exec team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
novosleftboot 6,285 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Of course he's a legend - for what he did on the pitch. I don't give a fuck about the other shite. Everybody has a right to negotiate the best deal they can get for themselves. I'd probably feel more anger towards the people who gave him the deals, if I could be bothered to think about it!

JohnH 270 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I realised McCoist was a money grabber back in 1995 at Anorthisis Famagusta, when he couldn't be subbed on late in the game, owing to an injury to one of the defenders, and he was going mental. Not because he wasn't getting to play for the late part of the game, but because he wouldn't have been eligible for the 25k bonus, which the players were promised for getting into the Champions League.

Agree mate.Anyone has the right to try and get the best possible deal for themselves as well as see out any contract they do have.We would all do the same in whatever walk of life we earn our money.Its just as football fans we somehow expect players and managers just to rip these contracts up if things go pearshape!!As mentioned it's the people who offered these contracts that should be castigated and vilified.

bluegecko 306 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 More concerned about who, while supposedly acting in the clubs best interest thought it was okay to give him the contract. We all know he's a money grabing waster as a manager, but ffs give it a rest. New manager, new players coming in, looking forward we're playing European football again but you want to drag this shit back up?
