Guest Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 All managers look like that. Im sure it is a pleasure to manage rangers for him but hes also under enormous strain and pressure every single day to live up to the highest standards expected and wanted of him. That takes its toll no matter what.You know Ally is loving it though even if he does look a bit jaded make no mistake Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissg910 110 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 the proof is in the pudding.sir walter looks about 15 yrs younger and hes only been out the job for 6 months.managing rangers or any big football club is a severely taxing job.

Naisy1981 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Slightly of topic But I'm worries that ally is a good manager but not a rangers manager I love super and want nothing more than to see him being a success But I don't see how he's of a better standard than Stuart mccoll or butcher managerially that being said it's early days Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelrug 268 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Heard my first "sack McCoist" shout when game was 1-1 on Saturday. Needless to say the tadger that shouted it had already gone when big Kyle scored the winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steg-il Ostenstad 11 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 He's finding it hard to live up to his predecessor. You've gotta remember the guy, in his first ever management job, is following arguably our most successful manager and living legend, Sir Walter Smith!Must take some living up to, plus we're not exactly the easiest bunch of fans to please.....a quick flick through the topics on here daily proves that. I think given time, and a few quid to spend that Ally will come good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devref 201 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 its a no win situation for him at the moment how many on here are calling for his head.he is as was said following a rangers legend into his first managerial post he has fuck all money to spend and is still 4pts clear at the top what more can he do in this situation give hem a break till the end of next season when he has been tested in his own rifght not compared to sir walter.

Ally has after all been going for only a few months and the blame must be largely his predecessor's.Should not the greatness of Rangers be judged by their European achievements rather than by winning two horse races in Scotland? And of late success in Europe has been underwhelming or non-existent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of late success in Europe has been underwhelming or non-existent.In any league, anywhere, the bread and butter is the championship. For Man Utd, Barcelona, Inter Milan. To be the best in your country is the standard, Europe is a bonus (or a realistic add on, depending on where you are). With this in mind, and the fact that we are the most decorated club in WORLD football - I would say that defines greatness and Walter Smith, regardless of the style of football, epitomises that greatness in every way.This is not meant to offend in the slightest, but go read more and learn about our past and I guarantee not only will you fall in love with our club (even more) but you will also appreciate how legendary status is earned at The Rangers.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I really want to call you a cunt and tell you to fuck off but I realise you are new to this game Walter gave us so much, even in Europe, a UEFA Cup Final and a virtual Champions League Semi Final were decent achievements. Throughout the history of Rangers two values shaped the club, the first was Struthian ideals, the second was winning. Walter had both.That's what I like about you Samuel...You're very succinct with your comments Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 rather than by winning two horse races in Scotland?What else we expected to do? We've made it clear we want out of the SPL on numerous occasions but it's not going to happen and whilst we're still in the SPL we have bugger all chance of doing anything spectacular in EuropeSmith is a legendary manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 91 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 1 loss? 4 Points clear?Prior to our first loss ally's run was going to equal our best unbeaten no?We have a financial noose wrapped round our neck, an aging squad with a few risky newcomers. We have been relegated in press and society to a stepping stone to the nPower Championship and as part of this have our best players bombarded with transfer gossip.Yet somehow we are at the top of the table. Digging deep. Finding that glimpse of former magic week after week. It might not be stylish or spectactular.But it's the Rangers. Ally IS our manager. And we MUST follow on. Give our support and help pull Rangers through this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 1 loss? 4 Points clear?Prior to our first loss ally's run was going to equal our best unbeaten no?No. It was the consecutive away victories record we were chasing, some of which were from last season.Nevertheless, Ally has to be given some slack. We're not playing well, but we're winning and staying top of the pile. It's not a bad base to build on, even though it's frustrating at times.
