G-MAN Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 simonsen, robinson, mcculloch, mohsni, smith, mcgregor, foster, faure, black, hutton, miller, boyd, daly - out of contract next summer zaliuskas, law, templeton, sheils, clark - 2016 bell, wallace, peralta, mcleod - 2017 aird - 2018 it doesn't always work out that way with all players that are free next summer going bye bye. now the players know ally will be staying there will be contracts to negotiate. then there's players like peralta and sheils who could be let go anyway. Christ that is a poor squad when you see it written down. Bin everyone except Your keepers, McGregor, Boyd, Daly, Law, Black, Clark, Wallace, Aird maybe - only 1 of which would get in the Dons squad. If you do go up and budget is cut, thats a Bottom Six side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Christ that is a poor squad when you see it written down. The prevailing orthodoxy, however, seems to be that it's a squad that should be capable of running away with the title if Ally McCoist wasn't incompetent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not really ... I should have made my point clearer in the first instance. Here's how it will pan out. Hearts will gain automatic promotion. Queen of the South will beat Hibs to gain qualification. Rangers may or may not join the promotion scrap ... they will be also rans. Get your dosh on both Hearts and QotS both to be promoted ... you heard it here first. Nut mun, the Dingwall tinsmiths will win the play-off slot against QoS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedsailor Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm sure it's just open to shareholders. So the supporters groups who invested in the basket case will have representation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeHectorPar Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 ok no probs i would expect the new rangers signings in january to freshen up the team with some squad players leaving. i would not underestimate hibs, they will sign some good players in january and become a real threat. i don't think hearts will have it so easy after the january window. the biggest three clubs in the league will have the top three places. qots will be doing well to remain where they are during the second half of the season, they will be simply be out gunned by the big three. falkirk are the only threat to the top four but to challenge they would need to take points of the teams above more regularly to do this. outside owning hibs they have only taken an additional one point, a draw with qots earlier in the season. i can't see hibs being falkirk's bitches for much longer after the window. the big three will only pull away as injuries and suspensions effect the clubs with smaller more restrictive squads. it would take falkirk to improve drastically including beating rangers twice for them to get into the mix. realistically i can't see that happen especially with falkirk's poor record against rangers. with respect the other 5 clubs are not in the race for the playoffs To get new signings in January, they have to sell players (no mean feat in itself) or pay some of them off, which rather defeats the object. They're basically stuck with the crap they have and an empty bank account. However, any action that can accelerate their final downfall will be welcome. How on earth they are ever going to rebuild a team capable of playing (and winning) in Europe is as much a mystery as turning lead into gold was for the alchemists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeHectorPar Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) europe?? when did talk of getting into europe come into this?. the ibrox chicken needs to learn to stand and walk on its own two feet before it can run. . players will be released in januarywhy would rangers be any different than any other club in the leagues? there are players about who might do a job who will come in and freshen up the team. whether they are brought in from buying from other clubs is another thing. but i don't think there will be a mass exodus of players from ibrox mid season, maybe three or four squad players out with direct replacements who will be challenging for a start, it will hardly break the club finances either. But it comes back to the same old story - contracts. Players are not just going to walk away from mega-bucks just because the club says "we don't want you". They will need to be paid off.

thelegendthatis Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ally McCoist keen for talks over Rangers transfer targets Ally McCoist has resigned as Rangers manager By Ronnie Esplin – 20 December 2014 Ally McCoist insists he does not plan on walking away from Rangers any time soon - and wants talks with new chief executive Derek Llambias on new signings. The Ibrox boss has tendered his resignation but insists he will see out the full 12-month notice period stipulated by his contract. The club's record scorer hopes to meet Llambias - whose new role was confirmed to the London Stock Exchange at 7.00am yesterday morning - to discuss strengthening his squad. He said: "I'll have to have a discussion with Derek regarding what the plans will be for the future. I spoke to him today regarding his own position and him and I will certainly sit down and discuss adding to the squad, because that will be one of the topics that needs to be discussed." When asked if he planned to see out the full 12-month notice period set down in his one-year rolling contract, McCoist, whose side face Livingston today, did say: "Yes. Absolutely. "I don't know if it's realistic or not but I expect it to happen. "I wouldn't say the ball is in anybody's court. I think it has been made quite clear by the board and myself that it is business as usual." This is merely Ally pretending (on legal advice) that it is business as normal. For him to say he will see out his 12 month notice period is merely him declaring what his payoff should be based on. Trying his best to push Llambias into saying "you're fired". Let's get the AGM out of the way, then a proper meeting for Ally and his legal advisors with Llambias,, and another Rangers legend scuttles out the door at Ibrox with his pockets bulging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship title? Mccoist has a lot to answer for, training for a few hours a day - 3 days per week, no sense of tactics, players out of position in every game and allowing Robbie Mourinho to get the better of him twice. A real manager wouldn't have been so bloody stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenockRover Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Fat Super Sally doing what he does best.... rabble rousing. Why on earth would ANY chairman give a transfer budget to a manager who has declared his intention to depart ? Unless, of course, said manager understands his current bunch of mercenaries are not up to the present requirement of promotion. Fat Boy clearly wants to continue his pretence of managerial competnce by having something else to blame ('That Board never supported me when I needed it most - no ma fault' ) when it, inevitably, falls to shit come the seasons' end - IF they make it that far. Something else to add to the Book.... kerchiiiiiing!!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
