gogzy 31,195 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It is starting to look very likely that Ally is going to be in charge next season, he has started letting players go, and looking for replacements, and i have seen no indication that the board are going to get rid of him for next season.This has led me to thinking that it is going to be a hell of a long season if we go into it with a crowd mentality of "Ally is pish and he should be out the door". We will end up driving ourselves mental if we think like that.I ( tin hat on here) feel that we should try once more to get behind him and give him our full support while he is the manager of the football club. We have to try and be optimistic that he can change our minds and make us eat our words, I would love nothing ore than for him to manage it, and i am sure there are many like me.We are going to be in a slightly more competitive league next season,and this should hopefully see our bigger players start to improve, and if we are being challenged from other teams, and not building up a HUGE lead.... this could lead the players to stop switching off after xmas and giving us a half season of pish.we have played some nice football at times ( granted less often than more) so there might be light at the end of the tunnel.Not sure if I can take another whole season of bears on RM raging at every decision, and generally being in a terrible mood I know most will dismiss this, and tbh i don't blame them at all, but i am an optimist at heart, he might come into his own next season and beyond.I still feel he has been badly let down by a lot of the "bigger" players in the team over the season, guys like black and law, daly...hell half the team seemed to stop givnig a fuck after xmas, that alone shows how little "Rangers class" type players we currently have at the club.Some nice dealings in the transfer market could see us come good yet :21: WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But shouldn't "supporters" well support.Just trying to put something optimistic out there mate, hell the board might surprise us all and get rid of him.

General Custer 516 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I like it Gogzy. We've all had a gripe at Ally this season and we've not excelled to the impossible standards some on here would have you believe another manager would bring so it's time to look forward and stop the sly digs at a club legend who's doing all he can to improve us.

crabbit bear 139 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I see where you're coming from Gogzy, but how can guys like Law, & Daly not kick their own arse for half a season, and still not be dropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they are on our books, they get my support.Each to their own though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

folkestoneger 8,234 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't think it is that confusing.As I said it is all about the team and the club.If a player was problematic and causing problems for the team I would want to see him moved on for the good of the club as a whole. My view on Ally is exactly the same.I don't go shouting abuse at himI don't post personal abuse about himI still view him as a legend of a player and wish him all the bestbutI simply don't want him as our manager as I believe it would benefit the club if he went Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go into it with the mindset that we want him out at all costs then it's gonna be very hard for him to do ANYTHING that will change that mindset.I dont actually disagree with anything you have said.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have stated since our first season on the road back that Ally has been a disappointment as a manager. Woeful cup performances, rancid quality of football and a total lack of youth development or of a footballing ethos. So an Ally fan? Well not exactly.However if he continues as manager I will critique his decisions and his team selections but I'll try to be supportive as that is what the manager of the Rangers deserves. Happy to criticise the message without shooting the messenger, but I really would rather he left and a replacement be found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,357 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I just can't do it. I was fully behind him despite all his mistakes until we drew with Albion Rovers. I can't put any more energy into defending him especially when I think it's going to be twice as bad next season and I am utterly dreading our return to the top flight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkestoneger 8,234 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Fair enough, maybe I worded my second post badly as obviously like you I do hope he will come good and would gladly see him prove me wrongPerhaps I should add that I have renewed my season ticket again despite only making it to one league match last season( and 2 the previous) so I am not really in the "out at all costs" faction or i would be giving it the " I'm not renewing until he goes" crapMy opinion of his abilities as manager does not over-ride my loyalty to the club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
