BROOMIERD

What if the only stumbling block is Ally not signing a confidentiality clause, and is nothing to do with money, Maybe Ally wants the fans to know what's been going on, so signing one is out of the question for him. He cant just leave as he would be taken to court by the board for breach of contract. Not sure,am just guessing, but I think my guess is closer to the truth than those who think its all about money.Anyone see any flaws in this theory?

We cant afford the very best. Who should we be going for?

The odds he accepts a 6 month contract is my reading of situation.

Skybet big move in odds last 15min Billy Davies now 4/7

If Davies gets the job what about Rangers current record holder for most goals in a European tie for Assistant. Played in the same Junior team and went to school together. Dave Mcpherson

Your unconditional love is for another club isn/t it?

Yep beat me to it

Been thinking this myself. If he has not sighned one already,cant see him doing so now.

Great atmosphere

No. I think he should be in the team

People saying a couple of weeks ago,we need to find the money to get rid of the manager even if we have to sell players to fund this. Now he has handed in his notice the same people are outraged that he may take some sort of payment to go, Some people are never happy

its just my gut feeling. Other peoples instincts tell them different. I believe McCoist wants whats best for Rangers and taking the action he has is not for selfish reasons. Until we know more its foolish to speculate but being a fool I say he has maybe asked for some help in the transfer window,been told we have to sell not buy and he feels he cant gaurentee promotion. Maybe he's got wind of a replacement being lined up, maybe he's trying to force the board to be more open about future plans or maybe he's just sick of the abuse he gets. Dont think this will change anyones view as I said its just my gut feeling Ally wants whats best for Rangers.

Found it too difficult to say Board..

So no matter what he decides to do you have already made up your mind. You are convinced Ally is only interested in Ally a popular theory but one I dont share. Lets wait and see

On second thoughts I cant see the board suing

(remembering he could've done just that on Friday and killed the debate) As other posters have pointed out he would have been in breach of contract and the board could(would) take legal action.

I agree,dont understand this move at all,very strange..

Am not worried about his temprement. Its just a Govan thing

Cooper only had 22 caps. Unbelievable

CHEERS

How do I make that bigger,thats naye use?

BBC 23/2/12 "(My job)... was to control the major aspects of the football department outwith the first team operations. These were to include recruitment, scouting, transfer negotiations and youth development. "I wasn't in control of any of these activities despite constantly making it clear to Craig Whyte that this was to be my remit. "I outlined my medium to long-term strategies for the club on numerous occasions to no avail. "There's no point in being a director of football unless you can control these areas, so, in that respect I'm totally comfortable with being made redundant at this time." ------------------------------------------------------- THE SCOTSMAN 25/2/12 There had been a widespread perception that Smith's return to the club as director of football did not necessarily sit comfortably with McCoist but the manager denied having a strained relationship with the former SFA chief executive. "I wasn't at odds with Gordon," added McCoist. "We had healthy,competitive discussions. We were not always in agreement with each other but we all wanted what was best for the football club." I wonder if this is revenge time for Smith. Hope not

A lot easier to turn round a squad worth 20 million
