Bearman 9 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 No it goes way back before this , the fact he wasn't backed in January speaks for itself , major egos playing games Yeah good reply rbr...that's what I believe too. I'm baffled though why the board didn't just come out with it on Monday. The fact they have told us Graeme Murty will take the reigns on Sunday suggests he is prepared for this rather than hit him with it 40 before the game, obviously it's been discussed well in advance. Good luck to the guy Graeme on Sunday who I'll admit had never heard of until tonight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,716 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Mark Warburton resigns as Rangers manager By Roddy Forsyth 10 February 2017 • 10:07pm Mark Warburton is no longer Rangers manager after a week of sensational behind the scenes manoeuvres which saw the former Brentford boss and his assistant, David Weir, and head of recruitment, Frank McParland, have their resignations accepted by the Ibrox board before their agent attempted to have them reinstated. Confusion intensified on Friday night after reports suggested Warburton had denied he had resigned his post. Telegraph Sport, though, can reveal that Warburton and Weir were on the verge of dismissal – they would almost certainly have been gone next week – but by offering their resignations they have saved the club around £700,000. The contorted drama began on Tuesday when Warburton’s agent, Dave Lockwood, approached the Ibrox directors and asked for the trio to be released from their contracts, which had almost another year to run. The Rangers board convened on Wednesday and agreed to accept the management team’s resignations and the deal was agreed. They were, however, stunned to be approached by Lockwood again and asked if all three could remain in their posts. During this passage Warburton and Weir were strongly tipped for the vacant managerial positions at Nottingham Forest, but Gary Brazil and Jack Lester were on Friday put in charge at the City Ground until the end of the season. After Lockwood’s proposal that Warburton, Weir and McParland should remain at Ibrox, the Rangers board met and agreed that since their resignations had already been accepted, there should be no change in the club’s position. A statement on the club website read: “Rangers have accepted the resignations of manager Mark Warburton, assistant manager David Weir and the club’s head of recruitment Frank McParland. “At a meeting with the management team’s representative earlier this week the club were advised that Mr Warburton, Mr Weir and Mr McParland wished to resign their positions and leave the club on condition that Rangers agreed to waive its rights to substantial compensation. Rangers’ agreement to waive compensation would assist the management team to join another club. “This compensation amount was agreed when Rangers significantly improved Mr Warburton and Mr Weir’s financial arrangements before the start of this season. The board urgently convened to consider the offer made on behalf of the management team and its ramifications and agreed to accept it and release the trio from the burden of compensation, despite the potential financial cost to the club. “It is important that Rangers has a football management team that wants to be at the club and that the Board believes can take the club forward to meet our stated ambition to return to being the number one club in Scotland. We are clearly short of where we expected to be at this time. “The representative acting for the management team subsequently attempted to alter the terms of what had been agreed in favour of the management team. A further board meeting was held this afternoon to discuss this and it was decided not to agree to this additional request but to hold with the original agreement. Mr Warburton, Mr Weir, and Mr McParland have therefore been notified in writing that their notices of termination have been accepted. “The board is very appreciative of the good work previously done by the management team but believes it had no alternative. Our club must come first and absolute commitment is essential. “On Sunday Under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take interim charge of the team. We know our support will give him and our team their full backing. We thank our support for their loyalty and desire to be the best. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/02/10/mark-warburton-resigns-asrangers-manager/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walterbear 557 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not sure why you would be surprised. Loyalty counts for nothing these days; money talks and I bet the money at NF was about double what they were on here. Hopefully he fancies Kiernan and Tavernier so much that he'll take them wherever he lands next. Maybe Hodson and Dodoo will get a chance now. Right! I think I've got it! The agent went in on Monday told Rangers the 3 Amigos were resigning because the NF job was there. Everyone agreed to delay the announcement until the deal actually went through...next thing they learn the NF deal is off! On this development Rangers decide to announce that they have resigned...Warb & Co say no they haven't!!!! Is that right? In a nutshell. Feckin shambles. No strategy no leadership. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warburton and Co caused this and I'd rather the board took their time to get the right man in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,357 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The Board should immediately have got a spokesman on to the media to confirm/deny all the speculation IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
