I agree. The more I see the same team playing exactly the same way post-Ally, the more I question what McCoist actually did.
It looks to me like McDowall selected the team & the tactics while Ally told the jokes.

Harsh on Ally. He was also responsible for organising the post-match entertainment.

We have to get rid of the shite coaches and a lot of the current squad,Plus do a deal to get rid off McCoist as he's just sucking money off us like a fucking leach. I never thought McCoist would behave the way he has he's been a disgrace for a Rangersman, i now see him as a moneyman first rather than a Ranger.
We need to invest and get a proven manager in lets hope all this happens as quickly as possible.

I mean it, no more home games for me. I'm done with Ally and I'm now done with this board. Absolute depressed with this pish. Embarrassing.

Last time we had Smith left mid and Moshni in defence hibs clattered us 3-1 AT HOME. hearts are miles better than hibs. I fear an absolute doing.

They'll get a lot of joy down the right i reckon and with Jig.

Official app calls it a 4-4-2 but I guess we'll see.

I think mccoist is the biggest issue at this moment in time

I was brought to RM from Rangerschat...I was initially on follow follow and preferred it here.

I would suggest that when the manager of Rangers Football Club cites "the wind" to explain away yet another lacklustre performance against a part-time opponent then it is only fair that those who wish to condemn his lack of tactical awareness should feel justified in using the word 'clueless' to describe same.
Others may go further and describe him as 'an overpaid dud'.......though that's a tad unfair to those on the higher tax band.

Dude, I agree with your points about the fans groups and the attitudes on this forum, which I can't say I'm entirely innocent of. But I can't agree about Celtics history of unpunished child abuse. In my opinion they must never be allowed to forget it.

Imran Hits Back
Posted on August 13, 2013by billmcmurdo
I spoke to Imran Ahmad about the story he is suing Rangers for £3.4 million.
He confirmed the story is true that the club owes him money and he is regrettably taking this action.
However, he has vowed that, whether the matter goes to court or whether there is an out of court settlement, he will plough whatever he gets back into the club.
Imran explained to me it was a matter of principle and that he is still committed to seeing the club do well.
His claims are based on a 5% commission he is due for profits on deals he brokered as Commercial Director.
I have received a breakdown on these deals and they stack up to a staggering £67 million which will benefit Rangers.
The real question about Imran Ahmad’s forced departure from Rangers should be:
Why was a man responsible for bringing millions into the club in a short period of time sent packing and who benefits from this money machine’s removal?
I am not saying Imran is a saint but I could put up with a lot from somebody who is working the Midas Touch on behalf of the team I love.
Here is a statement from Imran regarding both the commission due him and the Rangers Media incident, which I am reliably told is a possible breach of the Data Protection Act:
“Its true the club does owe me money.
In my view the full £3.4m is only due because of the way Chris Graham and Malcolm Murray leaked a story about me without any investigation or proof. I believe they continue to leak confidential club information such as this to the press in a misguided attempt to wage a propaganda campaign to win the forthcoming EGM. As far as EGM is concerned it does not matter what they say as I know we have more shares than them. I think this says more about the so called Rangers Men than me as the leaks are directly from their camp and everyone knows they’re very close to Keith Jackson and the Daily Record. If the real Rangers Men want control of Ibrox the morally correct thing to do is buy a controlling stake in the market. Not try to continually seize control without investing a penny.
Charles Green has agreed to tell the truth if it goes to court i.e. I am due 5% bonus on all the commercial deals I negotiated on behalf of the club. I am hardly going to turn my back on a bonus which is due to me when I’ve directly negotiated £67m worth of contracts which benefit the club over the next 5-10 years.
Neither myself or Charles have ever wanted this to go to court as we are substantial shareholders and in fact Charles had already brokered a deal with the club for a fraction of the full liability but the club has not signed up to it. I had also offered to reinvest all my bonus proceeds plus an additional extra £500k of my own money back into the club. At least this shows how much I’ve contributed to the club and the fact that I am prepared to put more cash into the club.”
Ahmad reiterated to me that he wants to buy more shares in Rangers and is determined to defeat the smear campaign being conducted against him.
People keep asking me why I support Charles Green and Imran Ahmad in the Civil War being waged at the club.
My answer is always the same.
I support The Rangers,
However, I think people who bring such sums of money into the club deserve support for that.
And, as I said earlier, who would benefit from removing these people and conducting a media smear campaign against them almost unparalleled in this day and age?
Why would anyone who purportedly loves Rangers have an issue with the club prospering?
Or seek to vilify and remove those who were making it happen?

So one side we have Jim McColl, a billionaire who says we're going into administration by Christmas but his money "is not necessary here".
On the other side we have Imran Ahmad, who says he's suing the club for £3.4m so he can “re-invest the money in the club”.
And people are seriously asking me to choose one of these two sides?
Someone wake me up when this farce is over, please.

Are you not concerned at McColl's way of working here, though? Wilfully driving down the share price with carefully timed media leaks in order to force the hand of those he sees as his opponents? Refusing to invest, laughably claiming his money "is not necessary here"? Repeatedly being drawn into a war of words, i.e. Green "does not deserve one penny"? Dictating the makeup of the new board and insisting an ex-David Murray era non-exec gets an executive position? Who exactly appointed McColl as kingmaker and rabble-rouser in chief until he gets his way?

Yes, 100%. This isn't a dig at Chris, I'm saying we should all contextualise everything we hear.

My, fancy that. Good to see the share price has steadied at a post-launch low of 41p. Assuming Green's jibe is accurate, that make McColl's stake worth £1.64. No wonder he's concerned about his investment. Sounds like you're comfortable with Weir's Pumps' owner dictating the makeup of the Rangers board but you seem a little less keen when it's McGill's Buses owners doing so. And if McColl does start an online account, let's hope his anonymity is protected. We wouldn't want any more messy lawsuits launched.

I'd say this proves my point from the locked CG thread. Chris isn't a neutral observer in this debate any longer, he's an active participant. This is serious stuff. Chris would be well advised to heed Walt White's words to Hank in Breaking Bad: tread lightly.

Yeah it would.
Suppose the only other thing we need to consider is when this bonus was awarded and by whom.
I'm assuming that the rhebel are saying its green.
I remember when ahmed was going Mark Dingwall accused the mods, of this site, of costing RFC 500k in terms of a pay off for ahmed because they wouldn't break the law and provide information as to iamrangers ip addy etc.
So I assume this is the same 500k.

I paid £45 a month on a phone contract. I wanted to save £45 a month for the remaining 11 months so I could buy more Freddo bars. I said fuck it, and paid o2 off with a one off payment of £495. I cant wait to spend all the money I saved on Freddo bars.
I am what is known in some circles as a successful businessman, its as well I don't need a job on the media

There is no chance whatsoever that the RST or bloggers such as John Gow would have stayed silent if CG was still at the club and presiding over the insanity we're currently witnessing under Smith and McCoist. Paying Goian the guts of half a million to leave while trying to buy a CB is straight out of the Martin Bain model of financial suicide.

Can I just say RIMA's first 6 posts are the most essential writings ever seen on this site. Keep it coming, please.

Our media portrayal is a direct result of opposing factions and a spineless boardroom.

Thank you for a reply, indeed a strange occurrence.................so tell me why does such a minuscule organisation need 17 people on a board?

Walter's keeping a dignified silence.
Ally's signing his friends.
Mather's "that close to taking action".
Traynor's discussing his starting salary with the Sun.
God bless the Rangers men.
