Bearosaurus 41 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 They really are circling the wagons now: Ally McCoist: Charlie Miller voices support for Rangers manager By Jonathan Sutherland BBC Scotland Charlie Miller fears the knives are out for Ally McCoist at boardroom level - but he still believes his former team-mate is the right man to lead Rangers to the top flight of Scottish football.Pressure has intensified on McCoist after Rangers' 3-2 defeat at the hands of Alloa in the Petrofac Training Cup."It looks as if people upstairs are sharpening the knives," said Miller."A lot of fans have also gone against Coisty, which is unfortunate, because I still believe he can do the job."Rangers also trail Hearts by nine points in the race for the Scottish Championship title.Discussions between senior figures at Ibrox have taken place concerning a run of one win in four games.It is understood sacking McCoist and his assistants would cost the club around £1.4m.But Miller, who won five league championships with Rangers, says McCoist deserves the chance to take the club to the Premiership."I still believe Coisty can do the job he expects to do, that he wants to do - and that is obviously getting us back to the Premier League," Miller told BBC Scotland.Ally McCoist and Charlie Miller played together during the 'Nine in a Row Years' at Rangers"I believe he deserves that chance, because he has held the club together for the last three years in my eyes."I'm still at the point where I can't believe people are even speaking about sacking Coisty. I'm actually really, really upset about that."And £1.4m is a hell of a lot of money for Rangers to give out and then bring someone else in who would maybe want to buy players in January."It's a difficult one because we don't really know who's running the club. It's just a shame that it's got to this point."Rangers lost to Alloa at Recreation Park in midweek despite being 2-0 up with less than 20 minutes to play.McCoist's men went into that game boosted by a 3-0 Scottish Cup win over top-flight Kilmarnock at the weekend."Obviously it was a disappointing result the other night," added Miller."I don't blame Coisty for that, we were 2-0 up with 20 minutes to go. We've got a lot of experienced players on the field, they should have taken care of Alloa."The buck ultimately stops with the manager, that's football, and Coisty understands that."He's not a stupid man, he knows it's his team and if results aren't going the way they're expected then he's going to get a bit of abuse from certain quarters."Coisty has a very good football brain, I knew that when I played with him."I have never worked under him as a coach, so I can't talk about his coaching qualities."Sometimes Rangers have been hard to watch this season - I'm not going to deny that. But some games have been magic, so that also has to be down to the players."http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30349206 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamie 4,858 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Can't believe folk still churn out the old "I believe he deserves a chance" bullshit. He's had a fucking chance Infact he's had dozens. He's tactically inept, clueless and deluded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 ...and how many of his 'mates' fork out to watch the dross he has instilled in his team?NONE,when any are at Ibrox,it's by invite or like DJ for payment.Just a thought. Has McCoist rang round his aul' buddies and called in a few favours to get support??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,276 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 They really are scraping the barrel now. How many times has Miller been to Ibrox in recent years, has he ever paid to get in? He admits himself he has zero knowledge of McCoist the manager.Who's next: Colin West? Stale Stensaas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I seem to know nothing at all about football, it transpires we have not been shite for three seasons, loads of our ex players think we are just fine so I will have to bow to their superior football knowledge and admit defeat, plenty on here are miles wrong the same as myself, look a bit deeper to recognise the master plan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,712 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Sometimes I wonder if these guys are watching the same fucking game as me, with the utter shite they come out with.I wonder what it would take for any of these former team mates of Ally, to actually say that he needs to be replaced????
