Davies gives backing to McCoist

Mon, 06 Feb 17:48:59 2012

Billy Davies believes Ally McCoist deserves a break as the Rangers manager battles to deliver success under difficult circumstances.

The former Motherwell, Preston and Nottingham Forest boss was at Hampden on Monday to make the draw for the quarter-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup but his old club were notable by their absence. Rangers crashed out of the competition to Dundee United on Sunday in front of a crowd of just 17,822 fans at Ibrox.

The Scottish champions' financial problems have been well-documented, as they await the verdict of a tax tribunal that could leave them facing a bill of £49million, and Davies has nothing but sympathy for McCoist. He said: "Give him a break - that's what I say."

He added: "He's working under very difficult circumstances and he is doing his best.

"He is also working under circumstances that are out of his control. So the message is to give him a break.

"At every club, three things happen. One, the board deals with finances and provides the finances for the manager and staff.

"You've then got the middle-men who negotiate the contracts to get the players in.

"Then the staff come in and take care of the players and do the best they can with the resources provided."
