Rickshaw77 287 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 clearly he doesnt think that at allbut performances like the alloa game should not be the majority, not winning games after horsing teams off the park, dominating , playing better football is one thing, but dropping points in games where we actually dont deserve anything is not on, especially when its teams like alloaand look at the abuse they get for not winning the trebles, even their own fans berated the tarriers because they couldnt win the treblesThe argument that's been used against Ally is that he has more money than any teams he has faced in the lower leagues so that automatically should equate to a Rangers win if it's only about money then I can't see why a team that's got a wage bill in excess of the 20 million mark is not winning every cup in Scottish football right now?And why don't Man city win the English treble if they spend more than every other English team also? Football is about a lot more than team A spending more money than team B.Rangers vs Hamilton in 1987 proved that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickshaw77 287 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Losing a goal or two is fine but winning every game, why not? The standard of ourselves and others since 2012 has been absolutely disgraceful.They should have, yes, even their own fans will tell you that. It's embarrassing that they haven't.Winning 90 league games in a row is utterly impossible and frankly that's computer game stuff.You could have put any manager in the world in charge of Rangers in 2012 and no one would have achieved that feat not even the 9 in a row team would have even done that.As for them not winning the treble I think that proves that money is not the be all and end all in football.

Crespie6 334 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The argument that's been used against Ally is that he has more money than any teams he has faced in the lower leagues so that automatically should equate to a Rangers win if it's only about money then I can't see why a team that's got a wage bill in excess of the 20 million mark is not winning every cup in Scottish football right now?And why don't Man city win the English treble if they spend more than every other English team also? Football is about a lot more than team A spending more money than team B.Rangers vs Hamilton in 1987 proved that.Rangers won the league that year Hamilton got relegated.

Thanks for proving the pointWas talking about the Scottish cup game in which Rangers had a team filled with English and Scottish internationals yet somehow lost to a team filled with journey men.

dalton 1,192 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I like Ally for his total commitment he has shown to our team as a fan , player and ultimately the manager .As a person and the good guy and his personality a tv pundit he was a dream ticket.For once in all the time I have slated him only because he makes bad signings bad decisionslike alot of managers - i have joined in to the ally oot lot .He in my book deserves to get the opportunity to lead us from the bottom pit to the place wehad no right to have left - except for sporting integerity reasons they say.So time for the underperformers to do your bit to the cause Boyd time to deliver you have not sinceyou need to give your pal a turn to repay his faithI have changed my stance why ally now has to stay and see the job throughsimples he has got us through up to now - (not the way i wanted ) but is in the positionto and the previous two performances gave me hope (not yesterday but it wasnt grass) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't going to happen so playing to his strengths is probably more advisable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is about a lot more than team A spending more money than team B.Rangers vs Hamilton in 1987 proved that.Man City play against clubs littered with international world class superstars, we play against hairdressers, mail strippers and postmen. Winning 90 league games in a row is utterly impossible and frankly that's computer game stuff.You could have put any manager in the world in charge of Rangers in 2012 and no one would have achieved that feat not even the 9 in a row team would have even done that.As for them not winning the treble I think that proves that money is not the be all and end all in football.Having tens of millions to spend compared to clubs with tens of thousands is indeed computer stuff, that is exactly where we have been the last few years. Make any excuse you want but we have badly badly underachieved in the last 3 years. It has been a diabolical period with one constant common denominator. Until that handicap is gone from the club we will win nothing and fans will keep drifting away. Blind faith only goes so far, even in those completely blind.

Bit of a daft argument as the Bosmans you listed are way out of Rangers price range and are/were on many more thousands a week more than Rangers paid out for Black and Law etc.Oh and I wonder how many of them wanted to play in SFL3 sure it was a dream for all of them growing up?

Just because someone is a free transfer does not mean he is rubbish. The free transfers we signed, some of them were good signings, and good players, but each and every one of them has regressed under one common denominator. No one can dispute that. Even the ones Ally paid huge fees for, Wallace and Temps have went backwards under him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
