He didn't earn a manager pay wage, not in the slightest. I'm not going to defend his managerial skills because there isn't really anything to defend. Gardening leave itself seems like a cheeky thing but I think it's not something you can actually ask for it's more so something you're company puts you on to get you out the way. Rangers owe a lot to ally McCoist, he's a legend. our all time top goal scorer, winner of 2 golden boots (which only 10 other players in the world have done) and other accolades. There is no denying that Ally was a credit to rangers as a player, as a manager however is a different story. That's why he was better as an assistant to Walter smith, there was a great balance there just like how there is a great balance between Warbuton and Weir. and you gotta look at the hand Ally was dealt, I mean we had players betting against Rangers. Also I take it as you don't like Dave King then? xD
