Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Couldn't do any worse than Ally.Coisty would have been better in the job if he'd had a similar management upbringing to Reid, by that I mean a couple of clubs in the lower divisions before the big job.like walter and souness did? it did them and us no harm that they had never managed before!

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 if all it. took was coaching surely after 8 years Hamilton would be on the verge of the big time in Europe with all the players brought through their system? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.12 508 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Some number 12 you are. Fortunately there are supporters who aren't brainwashed with negative people like yourself and see the bigger picture. Ally is a novice manager near the start of his managerial career and has been hindered by the SFA, SPL and individual teams who wanted to see us dead. Still won the division with weeks to spare. Some players are shite, akin to the stuff you spout, but we follow the team in their hour of need, not turn on our own!Am i lying or something?

BlueSuedeSambas 54,488 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think the addition of an experienced coach from the lower leagues wouldn't be a bad thing but the thread on Pie & Bovril is full of posts saying this is a good move which happened too late, talking about how crowds have halved in a year partly because of his insistence on playing one upfront with no width.I still think he could be a good addition to our coaching staff if a change was made and he would take it IMO. Derek Adams left a number one job at Ross County to be number two at Hibs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Adding people for the lower leagues.... Where the fuck is the ambition? Come on people... WE ARE RANGERS!!!!We are in the lower leagues... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He would make a fantastic coach. His football philosophy is top notch and exactly what we need. Just because he is not a big name doesn't make him a bad coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Left Hamilton in midweek after about 8 years iirc.I'm still behind Ally but I think offering Billy Reid a job either as coach or assistant manager would be perfect for us. Knowledge of the lower leagues, excellent at developing players, tries to play football. For some reason I seem to think he is a Bluenose as well.I dunno if he would fancy not being a boss but if you don't ask...I like billy, he seems to play football in the right way and has given alot of youngsters a chance with alot of onfield and financial return.....I think the Hamilton youth set up though deserves the credit for the players they have produced....maybe as an assistant to ally on a short term basis it may be useful but I definetly don't see him as a manager!

Chef 436 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We need coaches who will go out on the training field and get their boots dirty, not standing and watching players tell jokes and stretch all day. That's what I want, maybe it's just me though..you know jack shit, well you know it all if you get ma drift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUDGIE52 9 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Billy Reid would do a job for Rangers head of youth to replace Tommy Wilson who is leaving...........worth a go imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think this would be a decent move his Hamilton team played decent football in the sphell and he developed some good players, they did get relegated but that was always likely tbh.

Smile 26,622 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 People can say what they like about Billy Reid, imo he's one of the few Brits that I know of that has a reputation of taking youth, making it play with style and purpose and improving it.I would prefer we went foreign for such an approach but if it were a Brit his name should be a contender.Unless we are all backing the philosophy of buy our way to the top and blow money where it's not needed to scrape by playing shite with no purpose,....I don't see why his name would offend.Brits what an odd choice of word.
