markybear 136 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 With ally being confirmed as manager for next season today, it raised a few question marks for me....•If we don't win the spl this season what budget will ally get?Even if we do i worry what his budget will be.•With the suspected lack of funds does mccoist even have a snowballs chance in hell of competing with lemons side?The biggest worry for me is contract renewalIirc mcgregor,Davis,bougie are out of contract in the summer of 2012(feel free to add to the above list, i can't think of anymore off hand ATM)They are not going to accept a severe wage drop to stay at ibrox, the Kenny miller situation all over again. So we may/probably will lose them in the summer. So where does this leave mccoist? Additionally we'll lose the loaned players, Diouf,Weiss,Bartley,fosterWithout additions and minus the above 7 the squad will look something like this..Alexander - steadyPapac (still in contract negotiations, we could yet lose him)Whittaker - ATM Broadfoot - better than WhittakerYoung Darren cole - good prospect Big jig -steadyNaismith - hot and cold ATMLafferty - well he's here for a bitEdu - his 1st touch & lack of readiness destroys my soul at timesNess - I like the boy, I think he'll have a great career, big Jelavic - will struggle with poor service if this list is correct come augustHealy - short term deal iirc, I think he'd do ok if re-signedBeattie - has flopped if I'm honest Fleck - not produced as of yetAdding to this list is the youngsters such asWylde,Hutton,Little (feel free to add)The team I've listed will not hurt the current Celtic team, money and vision is reqdPenny for your thoughts troops?

McD 147 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just hope that now this is confirmed Ally wont be scared to rip into the players and shout proper orders without waiting on Walter to tell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUDGIE52 9 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Rangers should just go and sign the entire Auchinleck Talbot team, after all they are the best team in Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said he's got to carry on running rangers, no matter the rumours (paraphrasing of course) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totti 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Broadfoot better than Whittaker . . . WHIT?? Whittaker may have a lot more footballing ability going forward (though I think Broadfoot is better than he gets credit for) but is also one of the worst fullbacks we've ever had.

Blue Forever 179 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 With a squad like the one in the OP, we'd be looking at something like this:AlexanderWhittaker Broadfoot McCulloch PapacFleck Naismith Edu LaffertyHealy JelavicWhich makes for depressing reading.
