RangersFanBase 611 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Don't bank on the title next year unless we can splash the cash says Rangers boss Ally McCoistRANGERS remain on course to continue their rapid rise through the divisions this season but their manager sees trouble ahead - unless they are allowed to spend. Ally McCoist: "Without strengthening ahead of next season there would be no guarantees."ALLY McCOIST last night refused to take sides in the battle for Rangers.But the Ibrox gaffer warned he can’t guarantee a Championship title triumph next season unless he is allowed to spend.At the end of another week of claim and counter-claim, McCoist wouldn’t comment on Dave King’s fan-backed call to arms against the current board.He said: “I do not want to comment. What will be, will be. I’ll just handle the football.”However, the Rangers manager insisted his side’s anticipated quickfire rise through the lower leagues may stall without a substantial war chest.When asked if he could mount a title push next season with the current squad, McCoist said: “I wouldn’t like to do that.“I’d far rather be in a position to strengthen to move forward, not just for next term but longer term. Without strengthening ahead of next season there would be no guarantees.“The chief executive Graham Wallace and the board share my concern because they want to get us back to the top level of Scottish football.“The Championship is a lot stronger than a lot of people think. The majority of the teams are full-time.”Gers can take another stride towards the League One title with a win at East Fife today.And McCoist is only focused on delivering results on the pitch. He said: “It’s the one thing we can have a big bearing on. The best thing that we can do is get the fans three points.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre 1,663 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 He's right, how on earth can you expect to walk the championship title when you only have the second highest wage bill in the country? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I sometimes wonder how far removed ally is from reality! He has a squad and budget that dwarfs most teams in the top flight never mind the championship and he wants to spend more? I'm sorry but a better manager could and should get more out our current squad and be able to streamline it. In an ideal world it would be good to bring in a few players but we are struggling and need to stop front loading our cash and instead build from within! We will win the championship comfortably with this squad if ally gets his finger out and does his job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackandra 732 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Get rid of some of the obvious shite in the team first. Id be worried if Ally was given a few million to spend, feck knows what we'd end up saddled with for years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammyfraserrfc 5 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I see the spend, spend mentality remains with Ally, when is he going to realise that we need to develop our own players and identify young talent. Now if we he was to say something along the lines of "I need the scouting network sorted asap as that is the main thing that is stopping us from progressing." Then he would be totally right IMO.

STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 He'll have to ask whoever is the head of the trust fund,set-up by the union of fans if he can get some money before he signs anyone.The epitome of a cheque book manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersFanBase 611 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Man for Man everyone in our squad should be able to walk the Championship next year (few obvious exceptions: Cribari, Smith, Foster, Peralta etc) and with some added youth, it should be a doddle.Ally doesn't have much faith in our squad to be honest, nor has he let go of the "fuck" we need to spend mare money!" mentality.
