Decent interview from Ally

[Hamie 4,858]

Wonder when was the last time Ally went to an RFC youth game.

If the youth wernt good enough for division 3 football then surely we need a complete change of personel.

I saw him peer out the balcony for 30seconds point, laugh and went back in.

Your bang on here, if in McCoists opinion there is no youth good enough, then why stick with the same losing formula?

Gaun Yersel Ally.

More or less what the rational people have been saying for the last couple of years.

Anyone who really thought the last 2 years was really going to be an adventure as we made friends in the lower leagues needs their bumps felt.

We have to deal with this year, then crank it up to Timskelping level over the next two, and we will.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

With the start of one of the most important seasons in our long history fast approaching its good to hear that Ally feels like a football manager for the first time.

Five months from now will be a better time to see how he - and all of us - feel. Five months. Its not a long time. But at the end of December I really do hope that the results are such that there is very good confidence about achieving the goal of promotion so that this time next season all the talk would be about our impending return to top flight football. No pressure then.

But actually because Ally has the best job in football the pressure that goes with that job as a matter of routine is much greater for this next season. I'm sure he knows this. I hope the squad are also seized of the importance. Because a Board will be very aware of the financial and wider consequences if the football ambition is not delivered or is under threat of not being delivered. I reckon Christmas time will be the time when the Board would take a good look at the results on the pitch and take a view on whether or not the objective looks like it is going to be achieved. Feeling like a football manager can have more than one meaning.

Whatever Ally feels right now I'm sure the greater feeling - like ours - would be the pride in seeing Rangers back in the top flight at the start of next season.

It was a good interview but Ally should address the quality of the football on show . It has got to be better , regarding the youngsters most top teams look for 1.5 players on average to come thro each season. I would say we are slightly behind on that with McLeod and Aird being first team players. Gallagher is a possibility we would need him and 2 others to come thro this season to be on track

1.5 players?

Where do we find this half man you refer to?

[TAFKA 545]

"Decent interview"?

Where is his resignation speech? - now THAT would be a decent interview

We had more youngsters breaking through (Wylde, Ness, McCabe etc) pre administration (ie when we HAD money) than we've had in recent years

As ever, fine words - but he has pissed two years of growth, planning and player development up against the wall for Kyle, Sandaza, Foster, Daly etc

Pathetic excuse for a manager, a parasite living off former glories with a CEO who is to leadership what Neil Lennon is to oral hygiene.

[Guardian 4,281]

Well said Ally. True blue legend. Cant disagree with a word said, in fact couldn't agree more.

'You can argue about the value of the players we lost back in 2012, whether it was £20million, £30m or £40m. But the cold, hard fact is you cannot just lose those players, replace them with free transfers and expect them to do the same things.'

Yet you expect the board to be doing the same things with a lot less cash.

Hypocrite.

Perhaps if we all protested we could get rid of Ally and get a new man in.

Playing up front, answers to the name of "Daly"

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

Youngsters aren't going to reach the levels of Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd sitting on the bench.

Persisting with an injured Jon Daly sums him up.

[coopsleftboot 5,512]

Some astonishing criticism, bordering on personal abuse aimed at our manager on here. I thought Rangers men were better than that.

Too many seem to forget where we've been or understand the impact it had. We didn't just close one door and open another and say, "let's start again...".

[MacBoyd 5,660]

Decent interview. If the youth aren't good enough they shouldn't play. He dodged the style of football question though.

He attends most of them. The youth set up needs investment as does scouting. Over to the board......

He actually attends a lot of them.

'For the first time, I feel like a football manager. That's just a fact,' he said with a smile.

[bawsburst 1,381]

He doesn't.

[Wearethepeople72 1,849]

Okay, he made a few decent points. There is no excuses this season though.

Good interview from our Manager. Ally in a determined mood in this interview. At the end of the day, Ally is a realist and has cleared up alot of points. At the end of the day, we are not what we were but slowly we are picking up the pieces again. If Ally had of fielded loads of kids in the last 2 seasons, he wouldnt have kept his job. simple as,

Just please get us the league and the SC euro place.

So we just write off Allys first season as manager when he let that mob take the league after we were 15 points clear in October to 2 points behind in January or have we just to forget about that season when almost every player he bought flopped , oh wait that's still happening.

They had 2 games in hand and we went into admin. Did you just forget that? We were lucky to get second place under the circumstances.

People who thrive on past failures don't help us attain future success, and when we do achieve things they say it was the bare minimum they expected.

'The facts are these: sometimes it was not pretty in the first season, but the boys won the Third Division by 24 points. 'Last season, they won League One by 39 points and finished unbeaten.

'But the only people who will give the boys credit for that is the management team. That's just the territory but it's fine."

So true and so sad at the same time. As Rangers fans we are a very odd bunch.

Do you really think it's a huge acheivement for a club our size to go unbeaten in the 3rd tier?

A crock of shit
