RANGERRAB 3,612 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Erm wasnt this the question the agent asked the board? The board wanted rid off MW,DW & F McP. I think that is fairly obvious. But it would have cost a fair bit in compensation to do so. So when their so-called agent turned up & asked to activate the release clauses in their contracts the Rangers board couldn't believe their luck. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board were not impressed by either the football or recruitment. King had made this clear to MW who fully backed McParland. Regardless of results, that would always have been a situation that was not going to be resolved as DK simply didn't trust McP with cash. https://www.periscope.tv/w/1kvJpnNbOkDKE Edited February 11, 2017 by ian1964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,612 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Good shout...but he'd be first on the teamsheet Rab??? Maybe. But at least his heart is in the right place. FWIW I think Miller would be a good Rangers coach. I just think his best playing days are well behind him now. Any new Rangers could do a lot worse than Miller as his assistant Edited February 11, 2017 by RANGERRAB 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If the board have e-mails then i would say they are safe in what they are doing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Erm wasnt this the question the agent asked the board? I'm not an expert in all these 'dealings' but... Is the case not that Rangers FC would have received compensation from NF if the deal had gone through hence the delay in the announcement? Rangers don't get compensation as NF went elsewhere...Warburton is now without a pay-off and on the dole and is denying everything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new Rangers could do a lot worse than Miller as his assistant It's difficult for me to agree that Miller is past his best, sure he's 37 and should be looking at his next 'job' for me he's our best player by far, better than McKay although that could be an unfair comparison due to McKay just starting out in the game. As for a job in management, I'm pretty sure he's looking to further himself in the game after he retires - is he ready to become assistant to the next manager at Rangers? Possibly, but he'll be thinking he's got more to offer just playing right now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think his best playing days are well behind him now. Any new Rangers could do a lot worse than Miller as his assistant Sorry Rab, but Miller being a contender among a shower of under-achievers with a horrendous return of goals per appearance, to say absolutely nothing about his total lack of experience as a coach, assistant coach, youth coach, or anything else, is not where I see Rangers future. Kenny, you were paid very well for what you did while with us - your heart is in Edinburgh. I may bump into you one day through there on a visit. I wish you well but don't want you anywhere near Ibrox mate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) It will be strange on Sunday but we who will be there have to support the team and person/s in charge wholeheartedly,it is not a day for anything else. Supporting the son of "an ardent bhoys' fan" who speaks of how strongly they appeal to him won't come easily Edited February 11, 2017 by SteveC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
