Generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread

[jdships]

No wonder the fans are upset - who are these people that claim to be running an efficient business
What a pantomime !!
As for McCoist what an odious man he is what club in their right mind will employ him in the future ?
I remember back in 1981 when he was with St. Johnstone Erich Schaedler commented to me as McC was preparing to join Sunderland " His ego is bigger than his head and it will do him in "
True words methinks !

NewHuns are the best pantomime in town, and it's FREE

Expect them to reach settlement with McCoist this week, however his short career in football management is over. He should never have been given the Sevco job and is walking away before he fails to win the 1st Div with the biggest player budget by far. Back to being Cheeky Chappy on the BBC .. or maybe put in a call to his pal Regan once he gets FA job (hopefully).

All that's left is for Sevco to appoint Butcher before the curtain goes down

Think the next chapter rather than curtain coming down. This still has a long way to go.

The BBC ban might harm his chances there. And he's been playing the hard man role for so long that I'm not sure he could still find Cheeky Chappy, even if he wanted to.

McCoist has been called out as a liar many times over the past three years and his attempts to manipulate the media have been risible - most recently, leaking his resignation letter (if it was him) and then refusing to comment on 'speculation'.

I hope his career goes the way of Jim Traynor's - downhill fast. These people cared only about themselves and were happy to peddle s*** to cover their own backs. Good riddance.

Jim Traynor, completely wiped him from my memory. What's he peddling now? (Not that I'm really that bothered).

Hate McCoist with a passion, but to play Devil's advocate for a moment. I don't think he will see taking his last inflated salary as coming from the fans, but from the owners, and better in his wallet than theirs. No way would him walking away(pun intended), mean that said monies would find their way to the fans. Great fun though isn't it ?

That maybe how he sees it - but at the end of it all - Rankgers cant afford to pay him off - if he does claim this money then he is putting the clubs financial future in jeopardy.
That's not how a true Rankgers man should act

Good post !
Has always evidently had an "ego" problem .
Has too many " if's/but's/maybe's " surrounding him now to return to top flight football managment in the forseeable ( or longer) future

SFA site isn't very clear on the sanctions.

However, I would've thought that the worst they can do is to tell Ashley to withdraw, either from RFC or NUFC.

A large fine for RFC wouldn't go amiss, though.

Loving the fact that Sally doesn't do walking away - in the words of the Hun song - Another "good hun" bleeding the new club dry - another step towards a similar fate to the now defunct Glasgow rangers?

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

I don't blame Sally for trying to bail before facing Celtc in the semi. They could get hammered and Sally knows it.

Whenever I speak to anyone about this they say I'd do the same. I genuinely dont think I would though. If I was a millionaire already and taken a great wage from the club that was clearly struggling financially I'd walk away with a clear conscience.

I actually think it's pretty sad that it's assumed everyone would shaft people for as much as they can get.

[Keith_M]

I have a feeling that McCoist knows his Club [sorry CWG, the Company that owns the Club ;-) ] is for the knackers yard. He's bound to know that one of the first actions taken if they go into Administration is give him the heave-ho... without being due a penny in compensation.

With that in mind, why work for them for the next X months for 10k-p/w when you could invoke a clause in your contract that gets you 15k-p/w instead?

Is he shafting them though?

For one thing, they agreed the contract with him.
For another, thus far he's only working his notice.

And he didn't have to agree to the pay cut.

Nope, that was the previous regime.

His PA was emptied....if he cared that much surely he'd have covered her salary...maybe £25/30k tops....drop in the ocean to him....greedy twat

Think you may be interpreting 'shafting' a bit too legalistically. Footballistically he's certainly shafting them whether he's taking £450k or £750k as he's taking a huge amount of money for doing a s****y job. And long may it continue.

I realise going by the book he's not shafting them, I just think staying on to get as much as he can from a struggling club that's served him well is pretty poor.

Stuart McCall did the decent thing at Motherwell and I read Paul le guen walked away when it was clear it wasn't working out for him at the old rangers.

Not every decision on life should be based on how much money you can get out of a situation.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not defending him.
However, I think that the supporters of every club in the country should sign a petition demanding that he stay and that his salary be doubled.

Sally knew exactly what he was doing and when was the best time to do it £wise - he will now negotiate as much as he can get for as early an exit as he can get before his "reputation" dips any further - if he really cared about giving the new boys a break he could have walked for nothing - not what he is about though.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Another day and Rangers give us not one but two belly laughs: the Sally contract fiasco followed by the SFA charges. This thread should be printed in book form in time for Christmas. It's given me some of the happiest moments of my life.
