GallantPioneer 25 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think the Ramsdens Cup debacle was the final straw for a lot of people. I still think it remains to be seen whether or not he's the man for the long term but I'm now leaning towards pessimism rather than optimism.Some of the criticism is ridiculous though and I will continue to back him - or, at least, the club in general - over. In particular, the charge of not giving youth a chance, trying to focus blame squarely on him for the financial state of the club, player regression and the horrific personal abuse and intemperate rhetoric he attracts.That said, the Ramsdens Cup result is hard to defend, as is some of the team line-ups after the league was won. I think it's clear he'll still be here next season so I'll reconcile myself to that fact until such a time as his position become untenable.The Ramsdens cup is the only game I have a real issue with this year, and ive been at them all. The footballs not great but playing against 11 men behind the ball isnt going to create an open game. Also, playing a bayern munich system with the likes of Daly, Shiels, etc is not going to work in the coming leagues. But Ally must know this, I just hope we can all get behind him when we kick off next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just to confirm I disagreed with you and I was correct. Interesting your backing of Ally has diminished in your absence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Let me tell you a little story.A football club plays 48 games in a season, it loses just 3 of them. The manager, a club legend, is abused by online forums who want him to be sacked.Unthinkable really.Only place in the world, we have fought tooth and nail as a club and are still fighting and all we get isabuse by our own supporters, crazy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting your backing of Ally has diminished in your absence.I'm not sure it's diminished as I pretty consistently said that 'he was an average manager in charge of an average squad, it remains to be seen whether he will be good enough long term but, for the moment, he is meeting expectations'.I expected us to win the League and the Ramsdens this season and we didn't. The final was a gutless performance from the players and a game for which the manager has to take the majority of the blame.I'm just worried for the future like everyone else. I'm not so sure McCoist is cut out for management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 He's failed in the cups thus far but as a relatively new manager I think a club legend is someone we should be far more patient with.I fucking despair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallantPioneer 25 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Only because he was a legend as a player.The guys lost 3 games this year. We scored a shitload of goals but unfortunately tailed off towards the end of the season, it happens, no need for the stick he's taken on forums.Ive said it already but i really hope we can all get behind him and the team for the start of the season.

gogzy 31,195 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I genuinely would like to see Ally make everyone eat their words, and turn out to be a top manager....and genuinely thought he would for a long time.The final half of this season was pretty eye opening, and the ramsdens was unforgivable.
