Appointing Ally McCoist As Rangers Manager
Earlier on, I published a post about Ally McCoist and how Neil Lennon won that particular war.
But let’s be honest, there was not much doubt as to who was going to win it.
Lennon is a vastly better manager than McCoist is or was or will ever be.
The decision to appoint McCoist as Ibrox boss was utter lunacy.
Not only were his tactics a throwback to the 80’s, but once Sevco was born he insisted that it should behave exactly as Rangers had done even though behaving that way is what killed Rangers.
The 5 star hotels, the SPL players to beat bottom division teams, the snarking in the media, all of it conspired to destroy not only his reputation but the two sides he was entrusted with. He couldn’t even win the lower-league trophy, the Challenge Cup.
The results in those competitions were absolutely embarrassing for them and hilarious for the rest of us.
They wasted years on this guy.
He wasted millions on dreck.
Their side could have been built by youth players and they could have been slinging the cash they saved in the back.
If they had done that, Sevco might have been in a position to challenge us at some point.
But those wasted years and millions can never be gotten back.
The consequences of appointing McCoist at Rangers and then at Sevco are disastrous for the Ibrox club.
We have been able to build a decisive, and unassailable, lead in part because those in charge over there wanted to cater to this guys giant ego.
What an error it was.
