kanjo 26,328 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What more did McCoist have to do? - Whyte has really set himself up here. He said not just 9 hours ago "As chairman, I have supported Ally McCoist in his choice of targets and will continue to do so" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanger 625 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I have given Ally stick over our performances/defeats etc but after losing Jelavic he deserves to be backed with a striker Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 6,927 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Super Ally has the job of his dreams. Managing the club he certainly loves, and he is trying his best, doing what he can. Naismith injury - not his fault, Jelavic sale - couldn't have been his choice. He needs the chance to bring in reinforcements, but Mr Whyte would not give it? Very disrespectful. I am ashamed.I hope Ally has a good think about where he stands. Would not want him to leave, but under Craig Whyte, it might be the best thing to do.

graeme_4 34,527 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Given Ally's fuck ups in the summer transfer window, I'd be reluctant to give him funds.I actually think he will be axed by Whyte by the end of the season. If CW has written this season off, and wants his own man in for the summer, why would you give Ally any funds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,936 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If this is true which I expect it to be I hope Super tells us the truth.You know something Chris, Ally should maybe have signed a striker during the summer. But thats not here nor there at the moment.I cant believe this guy is gonae have to sit at a press conference and lie. I seen the look on his face and knew the meeting never went well. I like Ally, i dont know if he is manager material or not but fuck me even Walter would struggle here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza93 1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ally looks fucking raging and I don't blame him.Whyte is either hiding something financially or he simply doesn't trust Ally to make good signings so it's not good either way.

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ally face told a story An eternally optimistic guy looked liked his heart been ripped outHe knows why he is up against and is getting no help from whyteNo wonder whyte is on a plane to heathrow airportHe can fuckin stay thereI doubt he will be seen at any games for a few weeks at least And if we get beat by Dundee ute at weekend......Dear oh dear Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo. 952 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Whyte's trying to hobble through the season and see how the land lies after the tax-case.He's writing this year off, and IMO is losing faith in McCoist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 if every cunt can some how bring youth players to the first team but rangers managers can't, certain questions need to be askedso its whytes fault that ally fucked up in europe not once but twice, see us drop 12+ points to medicore rubbish, have us knocked out at the first hurdle of league cup, bringing in players with the intention of not playing them, aye thats whytes fault Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wouldn't blame Ally if he just kicked Whyte in the balls and told him to stick the job up his arse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
