BLUE CYCLOPS 26 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Good news. If the reports are true then it makes the takeover more believable because it has been said Whyte wants Ally as manager.He is a novice but so is Neil Lennon and he is currently 8 points clear in the League.======================================================================================================== I agree with this point. Remember, Smith was an SDM appointment since they are pals. If SDM is going then it makes sense that Walter will go as well. This news is hardly surprising. Ally,s appointment and Dave Kings "rearrangement" of shares are simply the housekeeping to tis up loose ends before the "big announcement" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 This novice Lennon is 8 points ahead of the managerial team containing our 'novice'.The difference in the old firm is so big just now that I'm struggling to find any reason anyone would want the current number 2 to be the number 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 McCoist should be in charge as of today - Smith should have been sidelined and McCoist given free reign.This is a half-assed change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERCOOPER 115 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Congratulations Ally - you deserve it.I just hope you get some sort of budget to work with because if it's under the current conditions then I fear it may be a bumpy ride Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Davie White was sacked, when we were sitting top of the league in 1969.As others have said all the luck to Ally, Rangers managers require a good deal more than luck when they take the chair, time will tell, as it always does.interesting because you recently boiled all walters succeses down to luck.

delamonty 992 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Might have been said on another post.. but the timing makes perfect sense to me. The players are underperforming due to a lame duck manager. This way, the new manager is already there.. (There is a different between just 'expectation' and bitter reality.) One would hope the players would want to up their game to impress for next year at the least.. which will benefit us this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Typical attempted appeasement around ST renewal time mate.................or maybe, just maybe, the new owner has sanctioned Ally as being his next Manager?The club would look kinda stupid if someone took it over now and then said they would be bringing in their own man.And if this is not the case, is Bain now confirming that there will be NO takeover?This announcement, and the timing of it, has certainly got me thinking.

Smile 26,622 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I would be more than surprised if Ally got any assurances whatsoever, for that to happen would raise more questions, how can something that we allegedly don't have be assured. You would have thought he would have asked the board for some assurances especially given the Loan players leaving at the end of the season, or at least inquired if there was money being made availableo invest in the team.

Imodium 412 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Good luck Ally.When I read the headline I thought Ally was taking charge as of today. To be honest I think it would make more sense doing this and having Walter as a hands on 'no 2' for 6 months? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
