eejay the dj 31,964 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Ive not commented before,Its hard because he was one of my heros growing up, and when I met him at 21 he was a great guyThe legend didnt let me down.But if he takes money to walk he will lose that place in my heartAnd will never be welcome back in Ibrox again.I really hope he wont do that.He will take it mate and he will be glossed up as a success that deserved it from media friends Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Would be happy with this, I don't know much about Davies, but he seems to have a far better cv than mccoist. I would take the article with pinch of salt though, like it has been said - no quotes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 When Ally gave notice of his resignation he was - imo - recognising that he was losing enough of the confidence and trust of the Support and (probably) of the influential movers and shakers at Ibrox. It is tacit acknowledgement too that the game was up on winning the single most important objective he had been given this year (and given resources to deliver) - winning the Championship. It was also (imo) a clear and tacit acknowledgement that he is not able to motivate experienced and talented football players to win promotion via a play-off process: because in important games the players do not have the nerve for it and he does not have the leadership clout to get them to deal with it. So in resigining he is giving the Board the opportunity to find a suitable replacement and he can step aside out of the line of fire with whatever remains of his player-legend status. Managerially, the history books may classify his managerial stint much less charitably. As to a replacement. Davies does appear to have a track record of knowing what it takes to get a bunch of players into gunning for promotion and promotion itself - and in a much more difficult league than our tuppence ha'penny sideshow that passes for a football league. (Mind you if it is a tuppence ha'penny effort of a league that would scream even more about the woeful lack of managerial and player ability to deal with it and to deal with it comfortably).Having a manager that knows how to manage players and to get the best out of them individually and as a team is now a must. Davies seems to have that in his locker. Butcher bombed it at Hibs - but was successful at Inverness. But is this time to be placing bets on whether the 'bombed it' experience has taught him what to avoid and how to turn failing teams around? I wouldn't bet on it. McCall lost his nerve at Motherwell, or if not his nerve then confidence in his ability to drive on from the unaccustomed low position they found themselve in. Do we want to take a bet on giving him the reigns at a hugely bigger club where the expectations are much larger? Probably not......unless the Board is also tacitly accepting that this season is bust and its now all down to rebuilding from virtual scratch and the manager would be given the rest of this season and a couple of other seasons to build a Championship winning team. But then Davies could also maybe do that. Out of the names surfacing Davies would seem to me to be most likely so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,643 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Let's face it if Davies was that highly regarded,why has he been out of. A job for months? He's not well spoken about in footballCircles Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamie 4,858 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 If the only options we have are Davis, McCall, butcher and Adams. I'd take Davis. But I'd prefer to give Numan a chance, he might change the whole ethos of the club. Numans a gamble, much like McCoist, but he might just be exactly what we need.

He can come across as a bit crass or belligerent at times as well as confrontational, this probably doesn't win him many friends among his own kind.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You really do have to look at the circumstances around Davies getting sacked at Forest... He went off the rails completely... If that has all changed and he has realised his mistakes, then maybe, but potential car crash of the highest order! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow argyle 1,093 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Billy Davis would be a far better manager than McCoist.Agreed, he has experience of arguably the hardest league in Britain to win.would surely be able to find some players with more commitment and desire than the bulk of the current squad. albeit with a limited budget Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
