Deep Blue Something 14 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 McCoist retires early to his garden in the Algarve. What then happens. Who picks the team? Durrant? Miller or McCullough? Or a Ashley stool, like Denis Wise?I can't say that I am overly enamoured by any of those cherries. Trying to appoint a manager already in employment will take time. It took Hibs about a month to appoint Stubbs after Butcher was sent to dibble in his yardie. But that was pre-season.Look at the time it has taken Motherwell and St Mirren.What manager is currently out of a job and would come in at short notice? Terry Butcher and/or Stuart McCall?

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Whoever is privileged enough to be appointed Manager what happens is we spend the next 2 or 3 seasons rebuilding from near scratch to build a team to win the Championship and who get used to playing at Ibrox (if we can keep Ibrox) in front of a couple of thousand fans every other week until the prospect of winning promotion becomes a serious prospect.

JamieG54 812 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 He goes off for a break and will return to ITV. He did the Scotland England game a few weeks back.We will get a cheap manager in who won't please the fans initially but should go ok and much better than Ally.I'm more worried about the squad. 12 out of contract and I would let them all go but no money to replace. Sickening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the shocking football that has primarily led to the fall in attendances.Butcher left acrimoniously and has bad mouthed us to the press so noStuart McCall and indeed Butcher former player would that not reek of the old pals act again?And McCall quit when the going got tough( and Rangers wont be a cakewalk by any means) will he have the mental fortitude to ride it out?A respected and proven manager is required...not necessarily with any links to Rangers.Isn't one of the biggest problems with McCoist the fact that when the going got tough he's stayed on despite what everyone else can clearly see. McCall left with his dignity intact as he realised he'd done what he could and was no longer capable of matching expectations.I agree though that the former rangers players should count for nothing, we need applications as you never know who would be interested.First things first we need the deadwood out, preferably without paying a penny.....fingers crossed.

NeoGeo7 10,611 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Tony Pulis.What are you on?How many years did Stoke play long ball and try to outmuscle their opponents, very little change if that happens apart from his man management, get the feeling he knows how to give players a bollocking.

blue No11 235 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Peter Beardsley takes over on a temporary basis in January along with loan signings from Newcastle. My good friend down in Newcastle firmly believes this is the case. Is this what Ally got wind of and digging his heels in the ground over ? Who knows time will tell.

scouseblue 145 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Tony Pulis.I might be wrong but I think it's reported he got a £1m plus bonus for keeping palace in the premier league added to the kind of wages he wants & given the clubs financial position his probable demands make him a pipe dream surely ? That's not to downplay the obvious attractions of the club itself but a side that's not in the top flight and can't get close to his wage demands would make it seem so unlikely to me especially when the first club to sack its manager in the prem will probably be throwing similar fortunes at him .

hemdale1873 167 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Billy Davies would last about 3 weeks with this board before a bust-up and being sacked or walking, Terry butcher has done nothing but bad mouth the club for years and Stuart McCall struggled to cope with the pressure of being Motherwell manager. Not to mention this squad is likely to be weaker not stronger in the Jan window cause if we don't get short term funding in Wallace and Lewis Macleod will be sold to the first club that offers any kind of money for them.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Would rather have Pat Butcher.We should advertise the position right now and see who applies, put Larry, Curly and Moe on gardening leave and let Lee Wallace and Jig run the team as player/managers, both have/are doing their badges and it saves an extra wage.In fact let Lee be the player coach, Jig can hang up his boots.

Kai_Johansen 978 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm sure there's plenty of willing takers with a footballing philosophy that could easily take us forward. In reality any half decent manager would relish the opportunity to turn what is at present the equivalent of a footballing dinosaur ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue No11 235 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Has he ever been a Manager outwith under 21s?Job for the Boys Newcastle style I dont think he has closest he came was assistant in the England set up. Maybe some truth in all of it as the players that would come on loan work with Beardsley. There all on the payroll and wouldn't cost a penny to the club. Ashley will like the fact that he won't need to spend a penny to get a good return on his investment in us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Kool Blue 139 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm not 100% sure he is the long term solution, but If they want to give the players a right boot up the arse, then Billy Davies is probably the man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
