McCoist at odds with hero Whyte

979

We all know Craig Whyte doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the wonderful job he is doing for Scottish football but his cause was not helped by rookie manager, Ally McCoist, who when asked today if Nikica Jelavic asked to leave Rangers said, “No he didn’t, not at all. I have a wonderful relationship with Nikica. He never said that.”

The Rangers manager then passed the buck onto the unfairly beleaguered club owner, telling STV, “We received a bid from Everton which Craig [Whyte] found acceptable. Therefore business was done.”

McCoist refused to take a manager’s responsibility for deciding who leaves the football club.  Craig Whyte made it clear to all concerned yesterday that Nikica Jelavic wanted to leave Rangers and there was no point keeping a player who didn’t want to be there.  Whyte needs the backing of everyone with the best interests of Scottish football at heart, including his manager.  The intrusive scrutiny he has been placed under in recent months will not help him achieve his objectives.

Whyte hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, we should all mind our own business and let him get on with his job. Eye on the prize, Craig.

    At their peak, the world’s best selling band. 30/40 years later they sound the same or better. More than you can say for the Stones who can never replicate a studio recording.

     

     

    Hope the link works. If it does and you don’t like this particular number, try some other titles – they are so versatile, but always musical, which explains their success.

     

     

    Cheers

    Posted before. My uncle was John Rafferty, best journalist ever to grace the papers, unbiased. Due to him, Bill leckie took up journalism, a true St Mirren fan, hates us as much as the. McIlvaney was my uncles best friend before his untimely death, due to throat cancer, on 3rd sept 1977. I met some wonderful sports people through my uncle, i will defend most but not all. There is a lot who are just chasing the pound & nothing else.

     

    Not making sense, stella artois, pinot grigot & cava, a fine mix.

     

    Don’t slag Mcilvaney please.
