And now Forrest are denying having contact with him? Aboslutely no clue what to make of this. I see a few of the usual suspects floating about drip feeding us shite making sure to include insinuations of "crookedness" from MW. That's got red flags all over it for me.

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Forest will officially not have made a direct approach, they get in big trouble if stuff like that is found out. Whether they had a word with agents or just dropped unofficial hints is unknown, but irrelevant to me as that is common in business and especially football. What I have a huge problem with is the way the board has communicated this news in a totally unprofessional and illiterate manner, and the fact it has been contradicted straight away. Totally symptomatic of our boards ineptitude and lack of professionalism. The Joey Barton incident was farcical in itself and was a precedent for the way this board behaves. Tonight the board has made themselves look a lot lot more stupid. RFCHTID, harlands plater and bornabear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Remember we used to be a team of class? Managers came and stayed for a prolonged period of time and most had a period or periods of success. Now in almost 2 years we've had McCoist, McDowall, McCall and Warburton. 2 of which have left in embarrassing circumstances. westenclosure2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westenclosure2008 796 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm starting to think the agent has made a royal cunt of it. Thought his clients were set for the Forest job and it's all went tits up. Under normal employment law though you can withdraw your resignation and the employer really can't do anything. Not sure if that's the same in the world of football.. Anyway it's another fucking embarrassing shambles regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not responsible for fucking up the appointment of staff the same way the manager is for signing shite players? In fact you know what, that's my position from now on. Look at the money they've wasted on the signing of MW, DW and FM. I don't trust them with more money. tannerall 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warburton was down south talking to another club, not a player or a coach. After successful talks he asks to have his contract cancelled Rangers reject that offer Warburton left without making a second offer Rangers have a meeting and have another think about it They agree it might actually work in their favour and should have accepted the offer They quickly release a statement talking about the offer and it was accepted Warburton is then asked what's going on He of course has no idea -------------------------- That to me is illegal, if an initial offer is rejected, then a secondary offer has to be made in order for it to be legally binding. Sounds like the secondary offer was not made, and the club have fucked this one. RFCHTID and loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The statement that the board has made has far too many factors in it that would be too easily proved false. A verbal contract in Scotland is as lawful as a written one. Either warburton and co are not telling us the full facts or his agent has went behind his back. What I think is for certain is that he no longer wants to be a Rangers manager and is now just holding out for the cash, something started this clusterfuck it must of been another job offer.
