nvager 498 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ally was in a difficult position and still will be until he is able to sign players he wants and get a full preseason.He will not be able to do that with new players even next season due to this illegal transfer ban which imo should be lifted.That said, some of his decisions this year in player selection and tactics have been baffling. I want him to succeed, but frankly have big doubts about his ability as a manager. I just do not think this management team of his is good enough.Hopefully he turns it around. The next few games until the season's end will be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I was delighted with some of his signings in the summer, they just didnt perform.The question is why. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Trying to read between the lines, I think he is suggesting we may only sign 2 big name players in September, and we are possibly losing 2 or 3 experienced players in the summer who will be gone or not playing in August. My guess is that Kyle will go, and possibly Shiels and Black, along with 1 or 2 of our foreign players, will be sold or free transferred in pre-season, despite their longer contracts. This would obviously free up wages for a couple of big signings (who I expect will be ex Rangers players.)What worries me though is the idea that a team going up as champions, with all the resources and wages we are paying, along with 4 or 5 SPL players, are considering losing at least 2 of their first 4 games in division 3 of the Scottish league. Wonder if Ally is perhaps voicing some frustrations, and may not have been given same free rein on signings as beginning of last season.

Brock 42 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, good luck with that Ally.Who is going to want to buy the players you signed on 2 or 3 year deals after the way your team have played this season against part timers? You have made them unsaleable and we will be be watching the same depressing sh!te next season. :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 for a person who keeps saying you hope Ally succeeds you don't half have a downer on him!I don't have anything against ally but I will admit this season has left me feeling pretty disappointed....this was such a great opportunity for us yet judging by ally's comments it seems this whole season has been a waste of time in terms of progressing as a team (long term plan) and financially....had we approached the season differently then we could have been in a much stronger position....I didn't have any unrealistic expectations and didn't expect to win cups (although ally said he was building a team for that purpose) or to go through the season winning every game 5-0 but what I did expect was progression and for the foundations to be laid for the next 5 years....anyone who thinks the footballing side of our club has done as well as it could this year is seriously blinded to where we are and what could have been achieved...

Ally has said certain things like on Saturday where he felt the performance was "just what we needed" and stated he plans to completely rebuild the team for each division....no matter who was saying this after what I have seen then I would question it....that doesn't mean I am using it to berate him...The whole point of this forum is for rangers fans to discuss rangers and its healthy for fans to have conflicting opinions however when that opinion is to refuse to see any "negative" point of view as anything other than an attack on the manager it defeats the purpose....

raid518 9 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 He literally telling us to not expect him to be signing any superstars. This is of course right, but I'm not convinced we can afford to buy any top class players anyway.The only small but significant worry is that he is running around shouting from the roof tops that most of the players we have now aren't worth a fuck, which is also right, but it will make them a tough sell and make it difficult to recoup our losses when it comes time to sell them on. Who will want to buy them when even the manager is saying we would probably be better off not fielding them at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
