So, Bruisedbear, I have attempted to write about your "legend". Just a thought though, is any of it true?. No short memories from me! I mentioned he chose Sunderland over Rangers for money. So when he signed I was always sceptical. I won't and can't fault his goalscoring record, and, I cheered everyone of them (as I have every goal my team have scored) but for him to be mentioned in the same sentence as John Greig!

Some of what you say of John Greig's managerial career is true, but to set you straight. John Greig was too loyal to some players "Jardine etc" but Sandy Jardine (another real Rangers Legend) left Ibrox and was POTY when he moved to Hertz.John Greig didn't have a "notice period" John Greig resigned with dignity, a big difference from sitting on your fat posterior grabbing £17K a week from a contract you never allegedly even read. Well at least you can always console yourself with the fact that your opinion of a legend is better on the TV than mine! Can't wait to hear Ally's wonderful insight into the champions League matches or even our games now!

No John Greig never left Ibrox under any sort of cloud.
Given his service to Rangers! you make Ally sound like he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart! Jesus the club paid him a substantial salary in all the positions you have mentioned & up until a few days ago still were. Even now he came to a settlement, he didn't just tear the remainder of his unread contract up! He simply has no shame! and you want him back as an employee!

Don't you feel conned by your legend over his statements about previous boards? statements designed to get supporters like you (I assume) and me to spend our HARD-EARNED wages on season tickets, buy shares at 70p while he gets his at 1p, don't you feel your legend was taking money as wages under false pretences, knowing he was not up to the job, being lazy & unprofessional.
If none of the above bothers you, well, I truly despair!
As I said:
Rangers record goalscorer, Yes
Rangers Legend, NEVER!

Coldo did you wash your bacon sandwich down with 10 pints of lager!
What are you on man?
On point 1:The guy is having a knee-jerk reaction to Ally's latest money orientated decision, I'm sure he'll be back putting money INTO the club.
On point 2:When I was being taken to Ibrox by my dad 40 odd years ago, I was told you only get 1 chance to sign for Rangers! Ally got 3! a legend doesn't wait till the price is right to sign! Unbelievable conditions! yes the second largest wage budget in Scotland, top class facilities, 40 odd thousand every home game, all to beat part-time teams! aye what a struggle that must have been.
True! we had a boardroom full of crooks and spivs! AH! but wait a minute!!! were they not all endorsed by your "Legend" Helped along by 1p shares. He more than anyone must have been able to see what was happening yet did nothing.
Now point 3:If his contract says he gets x amount then that is what he should get, whether he is entitled to it is a matter of opinion. Most people have to work to justify a wage, are you saying what we got from Ally was worth it?
No, he didn't deliberately make a mess of it, he was just useless, this was visible as far back as the 2007/2008 season when he took charge of cup ties, He signed what he could, the various boards never knocked him back for any player he wanted, he picked the players and then proceeded to turn 1st team SPL players into well paid useless duds in the 1st div & then the championship.
There was no scouting, well knowing this, could Ally not have got off his well upholstered backside and went looking at players himself? I mean he was on £800k a year FFS! He could have done it when he embarrassed the club (and cost us money through lost retail sales etc) by having weekend games against part-time teams called off before Scotland games instead of playing golf.Show at least a tiny bit of professionalism.
I honestly think the only thing in Ally's mind was himself everything else was secondary and that includes us the Supporters. Why else the contempt he showed us with his "I didn't even read my contract" & having a karaoke after one of the most humiliating results in our history, to the Ian Black betting against the team scandal.
If I worked under comparable conditions in my job, I think I could cope with the same salary as him. But here's the rub!! If I performed to his standard I would have been sacked after the equivalent of the defeat at Stirling Albion and I would have expected it, without gardening leave!!! but football rewards failure and Ally is living proof.
Rangers Record Goalscorer yes.
Rangers Legend? NEVER!
