Ally McCoist

You want some failures in the transfer market to back it up too?

How about:

Cha Du Ri
Daryl Murphy
Efrain Juarez
Daniel Majstorovic
Olivier Kapo
Freddie Ljungberg
Badr El Kaddouri
The Wrong Bangura


In the past 3 seasons, 42 players have come through the doors at Celtic...
Pretty much a new first team signed every season...if you can't find a couple of players to stake a claim to first team football out of that lot, then you really are a honking manager.
With 95 being punted, released or put on loan in the same period. that pretty much tells it's own story as to how great his transfer dealings have been


To be honest, I think Lennon isn't too bad a manager, but I'm fed up of bawbags coming on and slating McCoist when everything you've said of him is true of Lennon and none of these "facts" prove a thing.

Now with the shape of Rangers and the fact he's managed to string a few wins together

*******************************

Nothing to do with Rangers. The unbeaten streak has proven he has what it takes to drag a team out of a poor spell.

Has Ally?

Pfft...deflect, deflect, deflect.
Wtf was the Killie loss at the weekend then?
Biggest games since he took charge;

Ross County
Utrecht
Braga
Rangers (Cup final)
Sion
Motherwell

All Lennon showed in his first full season, was how to come 2nd best.
Yet you're on here giving Ally pelters after just a few months in charge, with a slump happening to coincide with the demise towards administration...

Lennon at least could say that in his first season Celtic made progress, in comparison to where they were 12 months previous. Ally McCoist took over a settled side that had won the league 3 years in a row, but under his control they went backwards and fell apart, long before administration. Right now all the evidence points to him being a flop in a way that wasn't the case with Lennon 8 months into his first season.

But, you go on and keep him. Please

As a neutral I would think that Celtic fans would keep quiet about opposition managers when they have such a poor one themselves. Bottled it in a final against relatively easy opposition , bottled it in the Europa league only to be let in anyway by UEFA and then crashed out in the group stages.

Only winning the league due to their only real rivals for it being put into administration and suffering all kinds of problems. Lets be honest a 6 year old could have managed Celtic to the SPL this year and that is all Lennon has managed....

You go on about 42 players going through the books in the past 3 years, Lennon had only been in charge for 2 and he had to over haul most of the pash Mowbray bought.

For every one Diddy signing he's had, there's been at least one success story and he's done it with little or no transfer fees. Tell me any successful McMoist signings.

The Ross County game that he list was only his sixth game in charge if I remember right, and he had to pick a team from the dross that Mowbray bought. The killie game was our first loss in 27 games do can be put down to complacency by the players, not Lennon.

In his first full session Lennon completely overhauled the first team, brought in a lot of young players, won a trophy, finished one point off of top spot and all this while receiving death threats and the like.

McMoist's poor run started well before admin, do can't be blamed on that. He's simply way out of his depth, tactically inept and has no eye for a player, all this while going on a personal mission to make Greggs more powerful than Tesco.

Okay, let's focus on Lennon's signings alone;
There have been 27 of them in 2 seasons, costing £14m and let's examine the "little or no transfer fees" patter;

Daryl Murphy: £800k (FLOP)
Cha-Du-Ri: Free Transfer (FLOP)
Efraín Juárez : £3.25m (FLOP)
Daniel Majstorović: Free Transfer (FLOP)
Olivier Kapo: Free Transfer (FLOP)
Freddie Ljungberg: Free Transfer (FLOP)
Kris Commons: £350k (Half a good season and then FLOP)
Mohamed Banghourra: £2.2m (FLOP)
Badr El Kaddouri: Loan (FLOP)
Rabiu Ibrahim: Free Transfer (FLOP)
Pawel Brozek: Loan (FLOP)


Nicky Feely: Free (Who knows?)
Tony Watt: £100k (Who knows/)



You think all of these guys are coming in on no wages too?



McCoist's poor run started on the 24th December 2011.
You think Administration wasn't a possibility at that stage and that the rumours hadn't been doing the rounds in the dressing room?
You think administration just came in overnight aye?

Prior to that, Rangers had lost once in 19 League Games. Hardly the work of a diddy manager going by your own justifications on Lenny?

Walloper...

Commons has been injured most of this season, add has Bangura. Maj and Cha haven't been great but have done a job at times. Ibrahim is under 20 so is one for the future. Brozek was loaned in as a stop gap solution.

Now look at his successes.. Izaguirre, Hooper, Stokes, Wanyama, Ledley, Mulgrew, Forster and he's brought Forrest and Macgeoch through to the first team. These players aren't on mega money like McCulloch and Whittaker. Name me one McCoist signing that's really made a difference and improved your team?

McCoist's poor run started last year before December. The fact that one player got injured scuppered your entire season.. One player this with the same championship winning team plus his own useless additions. I'm surprised he manages to dress himself in the mornings let alone manage a football team.

Article isn't isn't even desrving of the 1 star!

Between 5 November and that day Rangers drew at home with St Johnstone, lost away to Kilmarnock, then were rank against both Dunfermline and ICT, 2 games that the manager himself said they were very lucky to win. So I think we can say that the rubbish play began long before 24 Dec (embarrassing show that day too, wasn't it)

You talk as though you're an insider, but you're not and it would be very unlikely that anyone on the playing staff at Ibrox knew about the possible administration back in December. Big Lee the welly-thrower has said himself that he was floored by the news because he thought that after beating the Pars 4-1, the title challenge was back on the rails again. That happened about 4 days before administration was started, and he only found out the day before it became public.

Cut out the excuses. You're mince and so is Ally
