harlands plater 17,065 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 They performed well for four and a half years - under Walter. When Walter left they were found out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,447 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If Smith had come out and slated McCoist this would be more newsworthy purely because everybody knows McCoist was Smith's pick and he's going to defend him to the hilt because of that and the strong relationship that they have.I've already made my mind up about McCoists managerial ability, or lack thereof, and I don't think he will prove himself as a capable manager anywhere but it's certainly going to be interesting to see how he gets on if he does manage to land another job where he can work in "normal circumstances".

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 He had plenty support where he needed it - the chequebook.He was blessed with SPL standard players to face lapdancers, shelf-stackers and barras workers.He failed miserably, let it go, Walter.

crazy bob swollenbaws 1,916 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Think myself this is the start of the attempt by friends to de-toxify the McCostalot brand to help him into another job. Six month of hard done by stories, sycophancy and cheeky chappy charity appearances etc to see out the gardening leave and he will likely try for a punditry role somewhere. After making sure his garden work is fully completed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJig 76 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Sorry Sir Walter but the man was given 3 years, 2 and a half of which he blew every other team out of the water in terms of resources, money and professional footballers and still could not put any sort of decent football on display. He failed to win the ramsdens cup and embarrassed Rangers with the performances and results over the past few years with a few exceptions. He was given to much time.This Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I wish Walter and all the rest of Allys pals spoke up for the Club even half as much as they speak up for the worst manager in our history.The fact that McCall has turned the team around in less than 2 months should have put the bullet in any belief anyone had for McCoist, if McCoist is so great then why could he not do in 3 years what McCall did in 2 months?McCoist is a shite manager, and has bled this club dry.Anyone who thinks hes a capable manager is a fucking moron. There is absolutely nothing at all that suggests hes a good manager. Folk just love their hero Ally so much theyd let us wallow in div 2 for the next decade till Ally figures out the first thing about management.Just shut up Walter, brass neck and a half. Try sticking up for the club instead of your useless pal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,650 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Didn't get the support he needed?That's utter bullshit tbh.He was given time, money...more time and some more money.More than 3 seasons of baby feeding McCoist and he still made a complete fuck of things.

JCS 649 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's regrettable that a highly respected figure such as Walter Smith should make such an inane and patently inaccurate statement. To say that he wasn't given enough time is utter nonsense! McCoist had 3 years to develop a team capable of producing good football and failed miserably.Much as I respect SWS, I believe he should keep his thoughts on Mr McCoist to himself, if for no ther reason, to ensure that his credibility is not called into question.

onefootwillie 1,519 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Sorry Walter Ally was given too much time . Never in my life have a seen a poorer Rangers Manager and someone who failed to see how badly we were doing and did not realise how much of it was his own fault . Yes there was plenty of problems in the board room but that does not excuse his performance as a manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,627 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Why the need for this? Seriously. We're pushing for promotion and trying to look forward and forget the last 3/4 years and we could do without this. I'd have expected nothing less for this comment to have come from Derek Johnstone but Walter would be better washing his hands of the McCoist era.McCoist with all the money and time in the world wouldn't have been successful, let's just end it there.
