It's rare to see the word 'tender' in a sentence about Ally McCoist without the word 'chicken' beside it.


Edit,

Lol he's given 12 months notice, and will be in the dug out for the Queen's Park game. Looking for a big payoff.

I don't think it's fair, Ally's done remarkably well to bring a club with no previous history from league 2 to second in the championship in such a short time.

Screaming is the only useful thing that we can do.

What the gently caress is actually going on over at the newco? Some are saying McCoist could either be in charge until next year, picking up high wages for being an abstract failure and potentially missing out on an essential promotion - or take a juiicy big payoff from a club that is already close to financial meltdown.

Either way he's a fat, money grabbing cocksocket and it's hilarious.

He won't do walking away when the club is skint and won't be able to pay him off so he'll continue as manager until such a time they win the lottery.

The game against Celtic is going to be historically bad.

I wondered what the point of handing in his notice was until I saw this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30475395

Rangers have confirmed that manager Ally McCoist has resigned and is serving a 12-month notice period.
In a statement to the Stock Exchange on Monday, the Scottish Championship club also said the 52-year-old's salary will revert to £750,000 after he took a 50% wage cut earlier this year.

Lol, he never took a wage cut, all he did was take a deferral which is why the papers were given a figure of £1.4 Million to get rid of him. What a guy.

Is he going to put in £8.5 Million ? That's what they need to find to make the end of the season according to their own accountants, before you take into account paying off McCoist.
As of now Ashley has loaned them 3 Million secured on land at the stadium and put in £0

Probably. He's put enough in now he'll keep it going since he clearly thinks there is money to be made and is almost certainly right. I expect he'd own the club outright for that much though. Most of the debt Newcastle owe him, which is a loan without interest iirc, came from him using his own money to pay for the season after we got relegated

I'd be hugely surprised if he puts any more money in. He already owns all the merchandising rights which is about the only bit that makes money. We'll find out after the AGM on the 22nd anyway.

He's just been served with a notice of complaint from the SFA. Not sure if he actually knows what he's doing with them at all.

Phone posting so links aren't playing ball, but Tonev's lost his appeal. Interesting that there was no corroborating evidence, just Logan saying he did it and Tonev saying he didn't. Tribunal convicted because they believed Logan more.

If he has said it, then he needs to leave the club. No place for it.

"I don't even know what "oval office" means, honest guv, besides I've got loads of black friends!"

quote:

He denied calling him a black ****. Tonev claims he did not know that the word **** meant and denied ever saying it. He also stated that there was no further discussion between the players on the pitch.

He said the first time he was aware of the phrase being used was when John Collins spoke to him.

He told the panel that he had played football with many black players and would not use language of this kind.

Of course not, it's because he's a promising young up and coming manager who needs time to settle into his role and bring in his own style of play.

Combination of utterly ludicrous spending on players wages to win the 4th and 3rd division ( which are comprised of part time teams ) as well as crooks like Charles Green hoovering millions out the club into his pockets. Green gave himself millions of pounds worth of shares when he set up new rangers as well as paying himself £300,000 a year with a 100% bonus if they won they league. They've burned through around £70 million pounds in just under three years.

Super Ally being paid £750,000 a year plus £100,000 expenses to bulldoze amateurs didn't help the situation much either.

From the sources I've been reading (namely http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/04/rangers-robert-sarver-bid and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-directors.html) it appears we could be heading for a proxy war over shares between Sarver and the Three Bears group, the latter of whom is lead by--of loving course--Dave King.

Factor in that Mike Ashley is being pressured into making a decision from fans of both Newcastle and Rangers over which club he really wants to keep, and it just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.
