TheBluebells 6,898 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ally has handed in his resignation, he has to give 12 months notice, the board can't afford to pay him off so he's still Rangers manager for the foreseeable Just my take on it though.What an odd situation.

Bears 794 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I would expect McCoist to be quite aware that the Board are unable to pay off his contract, which is his legal entitlement, regardless of the 'walk away for the club's sake!' that some are saying.Clearly many are unhappy about the on-the-park performance and it is easy to see this as the only reason for Ally's decision to hand in his resignation.However, it is very possible that there are far more fundamental issues, regarding the future of the club as a whole, that he is attempting to make the board face. Yes, the team, the results, even the division this season are deeply important. But if the manager is witnessing the stripping of the club of its people, its ethos and its future then this is quite probably his only card left to play.That is not to say that McCoist is correct in what he is doing at whatever level. But maybe he is following his conscience in doing all that he can.It is easy to judge him on the future of this season's football, or even on his pay-off, but these pale into significance if he is offering his resignation in order to (at least in his understanding) save the club.The memoirs, one day, will be interesting.

scarkev 3,540 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I hate that I think this way but it strikes me that this is a ploy from ally to deflect attention away from his ineptitude so he can get his golden handshake and still come out looking like the good guy instead of manning up, accepting his failings and walking away to allow the club to progress under a real manager! smartypants 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnw 22 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Folk are funny, acting like they know what ally is up to. Unless it's come from the club everything else is just rumours and folk are jumping on it like it's true. Bears 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 794 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 He is doing all this for the good of the club? aye right.The key word 'maybe' is included in what I wrote. I am not claiming to know what is going on and what I wrote is only a possibility. But it seems you are far more certain of what is going on. Care to share your source?

Phil 1,150 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Can't we stick him on 'gardening leave'?Yes. But we would still be obligated to pay him his obscene wage until the end of the 12 month notice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Something 14 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Can't we stick him on 'gardening leave'?It's fecking Scottish winter, what's he going to garden.
