Stressed out Ally McCoist has attempted to justify Sevco’s 1-1 draw with Albion Rovers by pointing out that the Coatbridge club were in a higher division last season.
After three seasons of dodgy results, dodgy signings and dodgy excuses the former Question of Sport favourite is under pressure from fans for the first time as they finally realise that as a manager the former golden boy might not cut it.
With his sound-bites and cheeky chappy routine McCoist has escaped criticism until now but with spin doctor Jack Irvine leaving the club, but perhaps not the company, the manager has had to come up with his own material to justify results and performances.
As ever with McCoist he likes to throw out a comment then distance hiself by taking a step back.
Looking back on Saturday’s Scottish Cup thriller he suggested: “You could look at Sunday’s result another way – that we got a draw at home against a team who were a league above us last season. I’m not saying for a minute that is the way we should look at it but if you really want to be half full rather than half empty then you could.”
Few businesses move quicker than football and no club moves quicker than Sevco.
Twelve months ago they were on their way to the Third Division championship with Malky Murray as chairman, Walter Smith as non-executive director, Charles Green as chief executive and Imran Ahmad as commercial director and a £30m transfer war-chest waiting to be spent..
None of them are still at the club today although Green remains an influential shareholder.
With Dave King back in town and time ticking towards the March pay day it’s likely that McCoist will become more and more desperate to justify on-field performances with supporters growing restless realising that they may not have a young Mourinho in the dug-out.
as the” young Mourinho” would say” Absoloutely”
Mourinho? Pep shurely. Of THAT there kin be absholutely no doubt if ahm bein honesht!
Thanks Joe,the fun rolls.on.
Sleekit,”if you want to be half full,than
half empty.”
Fat Salary,always thinking about his stomach.
Proud of holding £30 part-timers to a draw.
Looks like the loch Ness monster at Ibrokes,is beginning to bite into Fat Salary
and his player expenditures.
Could Sleekit be about to ROLL away from
Ibrokes ?
It is better to let people think you are a fool rather than open your mouth and confirm it? Fat Sally has merely confirmed it once again.
Any other manager would not have survuved blowing a 15 pt lead between Oct and Dec 2011 and ending up losing the league by 10 odd points – 25pt swing from Oct would have seen a lesser idiot hanged.
God be with the people of Harlem NY this afternoon!
Gas explosion apparently 🙁
Well said Monti.
You could say that sevco pay their players ten times what Albion Rovers pay their players. I’m not saying that for a minute, of course, but if you wanted to be honest that’s what you could say. If you get what I mean, so to speak.
Sleekiter and sleekiter by the day.
You could look at it that way Ally…..or you could be honest and stop making piss poor excuses! Just a thought.
Sevco’s young manager is a year older than Mourinho and almost a decade older than Neil Lennon.
Fat sally was a scumbag as a player and will always be a scumbag. And we want him to be at that govan club for the next 10 years…hahaha. HAIL HAIL THE CELTIC.
“I’m not saying for a minute…but, if you really want to…then you could”.
Jeez, this guy has really lost it.
Excels himself every time he opens his mouth (when he’s not shoving pies in it).
Keep it up, Ally.
Celtic fans worldwide “trust in you”.
Doesn’t do reading contracts
Didn’t know what he was being paid
Does do 1p shares
Does do giving his voting shares to the local zombies, but still has confidence in the board
Does do cups of tea with every chairman in sevco history, then says we can work together no problem
Does do WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, when in fact he knew
Doesn’t do telling telling the zombies to buy season tickets, that’s Mr Wallaces job
Doesn’t do salads
(mean while the Scottish media will tell you he’s the glue that’s held the club together – Nuff said)
I think I’m right in saying he also does breach of the peace. Remarkable rehabilitation into a cheeky chappy and ultimately the perfect ambassador for Scotland’s newest club which was parachuted into senior football against all the rules.
Sally has lost the plot both he and castle greyskull are on their last legs happy days!
Such an utterly stupid man. 50 odd years old and he actually doesn’t know when to keep his trap shut ffs.
Simple Simon met a pieman gooing to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the pieman “What have you got there?”
Er, ma P45.
They don’t have a young Mourinho, Sally is older than him, maybe they have a young John Lambie!
