chilledbear 16 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) As in Nottingham? That's what was meant, but he must be mad to go for NF job. @ibroxrocks Imagine if this was accepted on the Wednesday, then they realised the job they were leaving for wasn't there anymore. Imagine.

chilledbear 16 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Rumour is they back tracked & said we didnt offer our resignation as it wasn't in writing. Rumour is the job they had lined up fell through. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 This sound right.... Imagine if a management team's agent informed a club on Monday that they were triggering the resignation clause in their contract. Imagine that said agent then attempted to withdraw that demand on the Thursday. Almost as if a job had fallen through. Imagine if the Chairman then got fed up and decided to call their bluff after seeing the Forest through the trees.... Yup, and imagine they tried to say verbal resignation didn't count without a letter and the club said 'aye, right'. Appears the most plausible scenario doing the rounds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Seriously though, who runs communications for our club? All it would take to calm the growing shit storm of confusion is a single tweet along the lines of "the club stands by our statement." How difficult would that be in this day and age? Amateur hour yet again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,279 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well, maybe we will get some more facts, but tonight it will be rumours and conjecture galore. For the time being, I wish Murty good luck for Sunday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thing is, in these days where every second person on the internet wants to pretend they are important and know something you don't, it's really easy to just make something up, say you've heard it anywhere really and before you know it it will be mentioned on another forum or on twitter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,243 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Rumours counter rumours a "Club Statement" with so much info, what is really happening? it may be that we will know more in the cold light of day but might have to take a couple of sleeping pills to sleep tonight:D 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 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. 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...

Very surprised with Davie Weir. We are still left with a crap defence and players who probably came because of Warburton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
