to be honest I have ranted and raved aw day about macoist but what's the point every one at ibroxvon the playing staff starting from the admin have blagged as much as they could starting with naismith macgregor alexander wylde ness fairy feet lafferty macoist durrant kenny macdowall the whole lot I think steven davis was the only decent guy the club got a fee for add them onto green stockbridge whyte and all the rest ibrox has been a beggars paradise then add on the hasbeens macoist brought in for a final pay day why should we get annoyed and worked up into ranting its just not worth the hassle and I for one am past stage of bothering god knows how it will all end but it don't look good

After 3 years of having to accept the pishgoingon around Rangers today was final straw for me I will never go to a Rangers game again until thre three stooges have gone we will not be promoted unless by a fluke in a fixed playoff match with refs help. He will be sacked then. I dread the celtic game with these clueless muppets in charge. Honestly I am now hoping 2nd Admin and start again this time with honest businessmen, a tight budget and a football manager with coaches that are tactically aware. I feel so sorry for the most loyal fans that through extreme loyalty will continue going to watch this pathetic excuse for football. merry Xmas and Happy New Year though that is now tainted by mccoist and muppets still there. See you in 2016/17 with I hope the board and manager we should have at a team like Rangers. . gutted and sick to death seeing mccoist anywhere near my team. . george :- (

George do not worry about the celtic game. if rangers get beat, they get beat. it may actually help the situation and speed up change. Just enjoy the game. i'd advise you watch it with people you know and are friends with who are celtic fans. If you get beat take the slagging. If you can't take it then ultimately what's the point.
love your team, desperately want them to win. Enjoy your day weather they do or they don't. Alternatively get wound up and stressed and angry and bitter and maybe say things to other people that make you look bitter and small minded.

Totally agree will never be back till the joker we call a manager has well and truly gone. Can't even play half our players in there correct positions. And I would NEVER have our goalie any where near our team better playing a cardboard cut out!!!!!

Chuck u forgot about mosni foster aird and the rest

Sorry bigwull just wish mccoist would forget about them too

17 Dec 2014 19:27:14
maybe mccoist was offered a pay off but the stumbling block was he was not willing to sign confidentially agreements
to stay quiet like all the previous people that been at our club so the board are now left with no opinion but to let him continue till his contract runs out mccoist will have lots to say and they will want keep him silent

17 Dec 2014 20:13:19
Craigs8688: What type of stuff do you think they want him to stay silent about pal?

More like he did not accept the offer and wants the full 750k

He probably knows as much as bomber pfftt

JG

I want to agree with you Craig, I believe ally offered a cheaper pay off but would not sign a gagging order so no deal.

He holds all the cards he can run down the clock on full pay then speak out or they pay him off for a bit less but can't stop him from speaking out. He knows where the bodies are buried and more. I think the redundacies were the last straw, I am not excusing his performance as manager which is worthy of the sack but I do believe he is one of the few gets men left!

17 Dec 2014 21:14:58
trust me mate there will be plenty skeletons hidden that they do not want to come back and bite them and mccoist will no where they are hidden he has been there from the start and maybe till the end if things keep going the way they are what other club in the land would let a manager half way threw a season stay on even though he has resigned the excuse for having no money is just that a excuse they have got money to get rid of everyone else they do not want so sure they could get funds together again we will find out soon a suppose but our team will suffer as a result of this stupid decision no other club would allow this to happen ally needs to go now and take everyone from boardroom way him

17 Dec 2014 21:52:21
I was looking for specifics mate,maybe he's got a bit a dirt on Green/Whyte etc but they're away and probably going to court.I'm in no way defending him,you know my views on him and the board.I'm trying to think myself what he knows that won't be public knowledge soon enough.

@5 what about the million dollar question that everybody seems to have pushed aside. WHOSE NAME IS ON THE DEEDS. ally must know this. IMO this is the biggest thing they are trying to hide. personally I think it's whyte.

17 Dec 2014 23:52:45
no to sure about green away mate I still believe he is pulling some strings behind the scenes yeh I think we all no most peoples thoughts on mccoist he ain't a manager yet board seam oblivious to this the question I would ask is why they think he should still be the manager and above is my answer to that no doubt there will be more bad news soon anuf seems a daily routine at our club

IF and it is a big IF McCoist is the great Rangers man that everyone keeps saying he is then he SHOULD have walked out the door and told the whole world what was going on and forget the money. he is a wealthy man, he never needs to work again and you can bet a pound to a penny it wouldn't be long before he was either with the Scotland squad or on the tv as an "expert" pundit. I can't see how people think him staying, taking a huge pay rise, and not doing the decent thing is acceptable. The fans want him out and yet he ignores the very people who portray him as Mr Rangers. sorry but that to me is him taking the fans for a ride, albeit a very expensive ride.

17 Dec 2014 17:34:32
well ed that's the last straw for me I had stopped going because macoist went back and now this fiasco we have given payoffs to all kinds scroungers and robbers and when it comes to the one that matters they bottle it if he was any fing. good it might be different don't they realise that macoist is probably the biggest reason attendances have slumped and after this they will be an even bigger slump I had taken the view dinsdale and doug were not to blame for the past fraudulent management I also said they were not the brightest they had a chance to gain some semblance respect from supporters this will probably go down as the woest ever decision made by any rangers board total imbiciles I will never be back until the whole lot of them have been ousted they have given in to what is tantamont to blacmail from macoist some asked last week if was a legend or a leach now u know the answer

17 Dec 2014 16:50:59
After todays decision I am well and truly finished. This is the final straw for me and any credibility we had. Good luck to those that will continue to go to games, but the whole thing is a sham. Cheers lad, I enjoyed the bit of banter, but time to hang up the boots.

17 Dec 2014 17:06:36
well to me todays decision is a game of bluff between easdale and mc coist to see who is going to cave in first and to me ally has took on more than he can handle when the bad results keep coming he won't be able to handle the pressure ,for his sake and gers he should have walked today ,he doesn't need the money does he as he never really reads contacts doug t.so.

I'm completely numb, the only people happy tonight will be McCoist, McDowell, Durrant, and every team in Scotland and their fans. But thousands and thousands of Rangers fans around the world will be sitting gutted, shafted again, to all the ally lover's out there I really hope you enjoy the rest of the season, because it's going to be a long one.

17 Dec 2014 17:20:20
Its embarrasing times we r a laughing stock!cant say am surprised no deal can be met no money to offer a pay off we r stuck with what we have fair play to the guys still attending the games to watch that dross!!

17 Dec 2014 17:28:31
was looking forward to a new manager and going back to ibrox not now, won't be back until he has gone

17 Dec 2014 17:28:49
He is looking more like Somers every day wi the sneer on his bawheid,but seriously,how awkward is it going to be at Auchenhowie playing head tennis every day with him?I thought it was a cert he would go.He is better staying in the dugout oot the road at least if he won't go.

Billyb & the rest of the guys, I too am truly finished with Ibrox till Ally BaBa & the rest of the thieves are gone! I was actually going to buy a half season ticket, but that is oot the windae! Football must be the only job where failure & incompetence are rewarded. If I handed in my notice, I would be escorted from the premises in case I caused any unrest, or cost the company money through damage to the product/service. This is exactly what Ally Baba is doing! Embarrassing doesn't nearly cover this fiasco!!!

Hi Bears

Daily Record reporting that the master technician is staying as manager because no pay off could be sorted out. That will keep all the blind faith Ally fans happy, I just hope the board have budgeted for another season in the championship and that all the Ally superfans are on here still defending him when it happens.

But as ally keeps telling us all he's fully focused on what he is doing, a while back my mate was in a pub in houston when he came in, his comment on gers fans was half them can't read anyway this was in reference to his wages contract, what does it take to make this guy realise he can't cut it as a manager, finally I have watched gers since 1955 and I have seen and met REAL rangers men, but I gave up 2 years ago due to health problems and moving away from glasgow as I saw this all coming doug t. s. o

Can you imagine how bad things would be in the premiership under Ally. Wonder how the pro Ally brigade would act when we are scrapping with the Ross County's and St Mirren's in the bottom 6? Not to mention losing to that mob on a regular basis. Things won't get any better until this man is replaced with someone who knows what they are doing. I still cannot believe some people still defend him.

Bigdimps, what exactly is a real rangers man?

18 Dec 2014 21:23:49
to the shark a real rangers man or en is guys like jimmy millar /ralph brand /billy ritchie that put the pride of playing for the jersey before the money side of things ,in the 50 s and 60 s rangers were full of players like that ,not all this crap like we should have a real rangers man like souness / gough / goram etc who were only there for the money side of things doug t.s.o

17 Dec 2014 11:27:19
Just a wee post to ask gers fan to go to the game on Saturday and get behind the team we need it let's try go 90 minutes for the team if they protest should be against the biased sfa not the club manager or board let's get to ibrox in big numbers show our support

There should be protest against the sfa definetily but they never worked when we sang about it for the last 3year but apart from a few red cards up in the air I don't think we havve held a proper protest against the boardt. Just my opinion. But I would encourage a massive protest against thee clueless guy on the touchline

Protest against the SFA?!? Why? Is this the same SFA who broke their own rules to grant Rangers a licence? Same SFA who broke their own rules to allow Ashley to own shares in Rangers? The footballing authorities have bent over backwards to assist Rangers over recent years and still getting it in the neck from mis-guided mugs such as you instead of going after the real villains!
Try going after the board, including convicted crook, Dave King, another crook, Ally McCoist, criminal football manager! There hasn't been an honest person in charge at Rangers board level since pre David Murray!

{Ed039's Note - The SFA did not break their own rules to allow Ashley to own shares in Rangers, they have an article which states that dual ownership is allowed with prior written consent, this has been done so I dont see where the rule break is there? They also did not break any rules to grant Rangers a licence as they were ill prepared for such a scenario like the Rangers one)

Scott87 I cannot see u getting much support for your post after this days actions

Ed in complete agreement coming your way from me in responce to post two

But Article 13. 1 of the SFA Articles of Association state that no person involved in another club "has any power whatsoever to influence the management or administration of a club" without "prior written consent".
Only prob I having ED is can't find anyone stating Ashley has given prior written consent hence why SFA
Earlier this week Rangers and Ashley were hit with two charges of breaching the governing body's rules while, as a club, Rangers face a third charge relating to Disciplinary Rule 1 where clubs must behave with 'utmost good faith' towards the SFA and other members. Any info, or copies of written notice?

Don't get so upset about rangers. in reality they are a company. they are 11 men kicking a ball for a wage. don't let yourself get too sucked in. THe sad part is that there are much more important injustices in the world. Become a true football fan first. support fair play. support children playing the game. support cheering the opposition. it is by far the best way. being a die hard is bad for your health. as is hatred for 11 other very similar men who are good at kicking leather. sorry to upset you. if I'm honest it really makes me laugh how upset people get about a game. this is learned behaviour. if you we're the only one getting upset you would feel stupid. because others get angry you learn that this is normal.
WAJP. We are just people.

17 Dec 2014 08:55:07
All very true mate,being a die hard fan can blind you to these other issues.Unfortunately this is what it is,its human nature.The world would be a better place if we all took your lead,but it doesn't work like that.

Totally agree shark. I had a season ticket for 5 seasons from 2000 on. At the time I was making 450 mile round trips for home games. Have not been to a game since. In all honesty it would not bother me if I never got to another game. I will always support the team but football comes well down my list of priorities.
