I think if we had gone for an experienced Manager, we really could have built something special and McCoist just didn’t have it in him to do that, hence buying the Blacks and Sandazas of the world. This set us back as a club massively and led to huge unnecessary over-investment with no return, culminating in us having to replace entire squads for about 3-4 years. An experienced Manager could have cruised up the leagues for far less and had a settled squad and style in place for when we ultimately hit the top league. We are in part where we are due to McCoist’s abysmal tenure.I would agree to some extent and disagree similarly mate.
I just don't think he should've done it as long as he did but he got the promotions, that was what counted most, so along with the fact he had legendary status, it was fu(kin hard to see him lose his job while winning the Leagues we were in.
I'm softening my approach to his management through time but still a couple of things rankle with me after his time in management, won't go into it.
All this considered, 27 goals in 50 odd games against the yahoos is always gonna see me have an affection for the man, for ever more.
Hard not to like the bugger and I know if I met him my instant reaction would be a smile, want to shake his hand and thank him.
That's my reality with Mr McCoist.
As a player and Rangers idol growing up, totally agree, an entirely different story.
