When can Ally sign players without restriction?

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

And they still are.

The likes of Ian Black strolls it most weeks. I don't know what you're expecting from them?

You being serious? They can hardly string a pass together, turn on a ball, cross a ball, take a set piece or beat a man

Well that's just not the case though, is it?

Plus you forgot to mention the likes of Bell, Daly and Billy, who are all playing well every week. But hey, let's not let stupid facts get in the way of an Ally bashing.

Moshni will go backwards too

Bells average anyway

It's not facts either it's opinion ya deluded crackpot

[trublusince1982 768]

the no signings policy has nothing to do with ally it's down to the complete miss management by the board .

Ally has worked within the budgets allowed by the board. He stuck to the 50% wage budget to turnover that was estimated.

It was just not estimated we would turn over such a low amount(£19m). our terrible turnover was not expected or in the plan.

To say the wage budget is nearly 100% of the turnover is nonsense from Mr Wallace, since they have been telling us all year the full sponsorship or merchandise money is not included in the turnover. You cant have it both ways, either the turnover is so low because sponsorship wasn't fully included , or it is expected to be as low as £19m next term? Its complete nonsense also when Mr Wallace keeps swapping from the club's wage bill to the teams wage bill. The wage bill for the first team squad is the lowest% of turnover i have ever seen in football and we are going to cut it further! There is nothing like taking advantage of your supports loyalty!

cut the costs of the board and the advisers they happily spend millions a year on.

It is nonsense to estimate the % of wages against £19m turnover, complete nonsense. Costs have already been cut from then and further income has already been agreed and in place

The wage budget as it is will be around 60% of the real turnover once the sponsorship is included, exactly where it should be. They must not be including next years savings we have cut this season from scouts, coaches, wage reductions, players who have left and the reduction in lawyer fees etc. Maybe it has slipped their minds.

any money we will be told next season, how well the board have done raising the turnover from £19m to around £25m when that's what would have happened irrelevant of the board's actions the rest of this season.

[Carsons Dog 9,878]

We need Kenny Miller and another twelve top quality players, but yeah 1st of jan.

Is 1st of Jan not banned yet?

Are you saying it's the boards fault for some of the pish Ally signs?

[Malvern 11,329]

or tru we could cut out the costs of continual inquests into if CG or CW are still involved and maybe we could trim down the rescheduled AGM costs. Oh and ally could take a couple of K off his salary to help us along in these bad times now that he is aware of them.

yeah include the £400k he is/has handed back and the £100k handed back by Durrant and co.

The costs have already been cut the turnover is not £19m nor will it ever be again. The turnover for this season will be around £25m and the costs will come down to around £16m. leaving no excuse for not signing players other than having no ambition.

When did they hand that money back?

[trublusince1982 768]

ally's signings have done exactly as expected for free's.

They won the league by a landslide.

This season is a walk in the park and we are still in with a shout of a treble, be it a poor mans treble. We wanted a decent cup run and the league this year with the ramsdans cup won as well.

So he is right on track. lowest team budget in football to turnover, spent less than £1.5m on building a full team from scratch which is viable enough to keep fans coming back so far.

None of them are internationals bar Peralta i would argue this is their level.

Plus who told you they were all ally's picks?

[trublusince1982 768]

did they not say at the agm it was done?

[JamieG54 812]

Every signing has to be a Rangers man

[j1mgg 3,766]

Never, until he learns the value of money.

I think you are just making things up now.

You are having a laugh if you think we are getting quality for the amount we are paying the management team and the players. We may have got the players on a free, but some of them will be getting £5k a week, and then we have a few on bigger wages and they struggle against part timers. We should be getting to the final of one of the big cups with the money we are spending, but I guess we will get our ass handed to us again by a spl team.

We should of been spending no where near the money we have been on wages and should of been using more of the youngsters more reguLarly, rather than 10mins here and there.

[Creampuff 22,628]

It's not facts either it's opinion ya deluded crackpot

You can't slate the players that are doing poorly then disregard the ones that are doing well based on your fanciful prediction of their future performances.

How you can call anyone deluded is beyond me.

[25 Minutes To Go 28]

Cup competitions are unpredictable.

Why do some people insist on using success in them as a measure of standards?

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Ally should never be without restrictions.

[legalbeagle 3,734]

So, to answer the original question - the restriction ended in September, and we can sign players when the next transfer window opens. Aren't the anti-Ally brigade bored of turning every question into the same thread?

Aren't the you can't criticise Ally without hating him Brigade, not bored of turning every question into the same thread.

Nope

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Nope

That makes two us then look we can agree when it comes to Ally.

[LeeWallace5 222]

Ally able to sign players freely scares me. More ortiz mckay nd celik

[Sweetheart 8,458]

I am all over the place with restrictions on our club,so can anyone verify when we can actually build a team that the manager wants????

1st January is the first transfer window Ally has had without any 'punishment' restrictions. However, I believe if we are to become a serious contender when we get back at the top, we will need to become a buying and selling club to raise the capital needed. We are still healing and Ally's dream team is quite away off.

[Copland bear 7,966]

I would not trust Ally with the money for a fish supper. He needs to realize that we are skint, we need to move players on. Why are we skint Ally? You are part of the problem Mr McCoist, you have made a bloody fortune out of us and it does not sit well with me.
