He had 2nd biggest budget in Scotland and did a worse job than Gretna.

Let that sink in.

He's a terrible terrible manager.

Not saying he should take charge at killie but would like to see him given a chance maybe down south at a 1st or 2nd dev team. Also wonder how much of a say he had in his transfers. It might be he needs to learn the craft rather than being flung into the pressure pot

Pressure pot?

Playing in a part-time league with the 2nd highest budget in Scotland?

:lol:

He basically played Football Manager for 2 years. As soon as he had to start actually being a manager in the real world, in the Championship against several full time clubs with a budget that was approaching say a quarter of his rather, than less than a tenth, he was hopeless. Totally ####in clueless. There are any number of managers that could have guided Rangers through the 2nd and 1st division with some of the better players in our Championship for a fraction of the wages Rangers and McCoist wasted on sundry SPL players that he basically couldn't coach properly.

That's the thing, when folk suggested cutting his salary in half, or whatever, they'd have been better looking to cut the playing staff wage bill in half and having a manager actually of the level of the McCoist salary.

He's 53.

It's not like he hung up his boots last week and is learning his trade.

It's something I said at the time, and have many times since. For all I slaughtered most of the players at his disposal, they still should have been competing last season. We weren't for a reason, and it lies at the managers door.

As Cove says though, they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

That's what pretty much everyone who knew anything about football was saying. A competently run club would have brought in a decent manager on half the wages that McCoist was milking from them, who could in turn have brought in players from the lower leagues, and used some of the young players they had on their books, at a fraction of the cost. When they got into the Championship they could have strengthened. I've lost count of the number of times I've had this conversation with, frankly, brain dead Rangers fans who just couldn't get past the 'he's never a Ranger player' or ' could he handle the pressure of playing at Rangers?' garbage at a time when Rangers were playing Annan, East Stirling and Elgin.
