McWeedy 28 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I remember someone at the club criticising Green for his timing of comments and actions ahead of a match it was important to win....If this is positioning by Ally then it's very hypocritical to do it merely hours before a game we must win if to have any chance of catching Hearts.

theiconicman 3,127 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I can imagine a few scenarios in this:1. Ally truly believes what he says, however, recent statements suggest this not to be the case - "Not walking away" "Not considering resigning" "Focus on the next game"2. Ally is miffed at purported comments by SE who wants rid of him, therefore issues a "Support me or sack me" ultimatum to the Board, who are not around to discuss it.3. Ally realises he might be the manager to go down in history of not getting us promoted into the top flight, and has decided chuck it.As much as I have really disliked his management tenure, I wish him all the best, hopefully not as manager of Rangers.

If, as being reported he has given notice as opposed to resigning with immediate effect it may have only been known by a very small number of people.Green made his comments to the press.There's a difference there.

I really hope you're taking the piss, or you're just incredibly naive.How can you not see that its the same ? Right, let's play then. Do you genuinely believe that Ally, this apparent Rangers man, who's spent the majority of his adult life at the club, who's spent the last 7 years at the club in the coaching staff at some capacity, where the media attention is 24/7 non-stop, honestly thought that he could offer his resignation on matchday and it wouldn't make it to the public domain ? Bullshit.Now we both know that's bullshit. Ally's a clueless manager but he's genuinely a clever guy and know's what he's doing here, he knows the club is full of leaks (how could he not) he might have even leaked it himself.He knows this'll get leaked and went through with it anyway, on matchday, which would unsettle the team on matchday, which, again, was his gripe with Green, who also made comments that unsettled the team on matchday.Cannot believe I had to spell that out.

Why would it get into the public domain? There's been no AIM announcement or official club statement or one from Ally. Green gave an interview. Sir Alex Fergusons decision to chuck it was kept quiet for months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just asking guys. If we are just going to assume the facts we should be more creative. Like...Ally rode into the boardroom at 3pm today on a unicorn, screaming blood and thunder that he wanted $10 million or he would write a book and get them all 10 years jail time...then realised they were all in London, so left a polite note before leaving an anonymous message on the bbc answer machine.
