bluesbro1976 162 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Tomorrow's express....DAVE BASSETT has told Ally McCoist to watch his back because new consortium head Charles Green won’t think twice about sacking him.The former Sheffield United chief executive is leading a bid from a London-based group, who have now moved into pole position to buy Rangers.Bassett was ruthlessly removed when Green was put in charge at Bramall Lane, and he knows McCoist could end up in a similar position.“He is ruthless and he would have no concerns about sacking Ally McCoist if he had to,” said Bassett, who was forced out after eight years with the Blades. “Green came in with the sole intention of getting rid of me. “He was going to make changes. I had been there eight years and when a new owner comes in he normally doesn’t want the manager who is there.“Any new owner wants to pick their own manager.Green came in with the sole intention of getting rid of meDave Bassett“It happens all the time, look at Sam Allardyce at Blackburn and Mark Hughes at Manchester City. I was well aware before it happened because I knew Adrian Heath was working for Howard Kendall and our games were being watched. “I was a big boy and you know these things happen and I knew it was just a matter of time.” Green was put in charge at United and was calling the shots for chairman Mike McDonald when they sacked Bassett and replaced him with Howard Kendall in 1995.Bassett knows that with Green, reputations count for nothing and that will be a concern to Ibrox boss and legend McCoist.

Chuck_Fickens 425 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Green will be signing his own death warrant if he crosses our supporters. This isn't a diddy club like Sheffield United, if he takes the reigns, he'll be held to account for all of his actions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 FFS the man hasn't even been declared PB yet let alone got the deal done so this is more than a bit previous. In addition Bassett wasn't a club legend in the way McCoist is, especially after the way Ally has handled things this season I think anyone would be wary of the backlash if they ditched McCoist immediately.Though I am still far from convinced by ally I think he has more than earned another chance. I really want ally to be a success but there needs to be an improvement big time in certain areas, but I'm sure he is well aware of that.
