Second Statement

[LegendofCoop 17,273]

I don't know enough about the financial stuff whether it's true or not.

The main fact for me is, MW's mind was already somewhere else. He needed to go, right away.

[KeyserSoze 14,531]

The fanciful notion that ex players have some sort of "love" and commitment to our cause is yet again exposed. 

Davie Weir joins a long list of folks only out for themselves, to self serve and nothing else. 

The sooner our support realise this the sooner we can stop talking shite about ex players doing us any sort of favour. 

It's about money for them and their family. End of. 

[Guest Lloyd72]

A lot of parallels of how they left Brentford with how they are leaving us, with the talking to other clubs while under contract and leaking board meetings to the press. Bunch of scummy bastards. Can't believe I ever thought Warburton had class.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

King issues the statement, Robertson (allegedly) met with the agent, begs the question what the fuck is Mini being paid for, what exactly is his role at the club.

Across the city, Dremot D. Is the money man, Liewell runs the show, clearly defined lines.  We on the other hand appear to have no structure.

[Tommy WATP 86]

I'll ask it in here, what's the 18m of investment received into the club? If plan was to get 2nd place why advertise going for 55? Fans bought into this in huge numbers and Club 1872 should be asking these questions. 

[Young Bob 1,360]

Only thing that concerns me is that the three of them were still in employment on Friday if their resignations were accepted on Monday. Should have been shown the door on Monday. Going into a SC tie we need someone who is focused in the dug out not someone who is more concerned about picking his 1st starting 11 for his new club.

[BlearyEyedBear 4,148]

There will be minutes of the meeting that took place between the management team's agent and the Managing Director that could substantiate the board's position.

The dismissal case aside, people still backing King. Wow!

We do deserve the board we get.

Now no more complaining about team performances. Bed and lie in it.

Don't see many backing King , his first few paragraphs are just lying bullshit and he's fooling nobody.

The Warburton saga was fuckin superb though.

Wages, money spent fixing things in the stadium, money put into things like RTV and the media guys and general infrastructure of the club and replacing what had been stripped away and restoring what was neglected by the previous regime.

I've always got the impression from some people that they thought King was going to deposit £30m into the club bank account in one go to be spent on players. It was never ever going to work that way, at least that is never how I would have expected it to be.

What I will say though is that I do find it disappointing that a larger sum of money hasn't been made available up until now to be spent on transfer fees similar to that of the Joe Garner transfer. I'd have liked to see us spend that kind of money on at least a couple of others and that absolutely has to be improved upon if we're going to be even dreaming about challenging for the title any time soon.

all they things you mentioned in the first paragraph, while maybe needed, do not help bridge the gap to the tarriers that much, especially in the short term

before coming to power, king always spoke about closing the gap, regaining our rightful place, front loading the money needed, well im sorry but RTV, fixing the stadium etc do not cover the fact that the tarriers have a better playing squad

there is only one way to generate extra revenue as a scottish club, win things and play in europe, we wont do that by spunking money on shite like media stuff, RTV etc

Will be noticed by everyone in football and hopefully they never work in the game again.

The roof is still bogging , other than a few banners I have not noticed any major changes at ibrox under the board 

Pretty much the square root of fuck all has been spent.

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

I don't see a lot wrong with that statement, other than the obvious backtracking regarding his £30m investment plans.

It gives a pretty damming account of Warburton, Weir and McParland and how poorly they acted, as we all expected. 

Some of Warburton's signings have been a joke and the board, for all the criticism they have rightly received, were right to criticise them for the money they rolled out for them.

Also from that statement it sounds like Warburton thought he was above criticism. He simply didn't have the guts to be the Rangers manager.

I hope we can move on from this quickly without any tribunals.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

Tbh I'm pretty happy with that statement apart from the blatant lie that we've invested £18m already.

Yup, I posted yesterday a quote from a Brentford fan talking about how they did all the same at their club and that's why the fans wanted him chased. Shame we never noticed sooner, Davie Weir needs his name taken off the Hall of Fame board for this (shouldn't have been there in the first place imo)

Only ever saw two former employees who had paid their way in to Ibrox. One was Wilson Wood who sat in the Copland and the other Jock Wallace who paid to sit in the Main Stand.

Pffft wow at the pish your spouting really get king and the board out who's going to come and be the saviour then ? I get he's not eveyones cup of tea but dont forget least the club is still running and progress has definitely been made just no pleasing people at all I'm less worried than I was when we had Ashley's crooks running the club put it that way

Their agent asked if they could basically take their resignation back, which the board were considering. I guess they allowed them to carry on business as usual whilst they made that decision.

They should have made that decision faster though because the timing of it all was terrible, should have been decided and all sorted before the press conference.

Oh yes, this clears up everything, fucking NOT!

Look past the "three", we are in the brown stuff. We are going nowhere!

Wish you would fuck up with the we are all doomed Pish its fucking boring.

We get it you and a few others hate King blah blah fuckin blah

What the fuck do you want the board to say? Warburton wants to fuck off along with the other two I say thank fuck they are gone.

F£&K ME!

First part is complete BS and DK thinks we're all idiots by putting that out there.

Second part, as much as probably true, confirms to me that no formal resignation has been received and we are going to end up paying MW and Co the full compensation for breach of contract.

DK is a complete Moron and we are a F£&King laughing stock!

 

Spot on with that!

Fans are never going to be happy overall but you can't ask for a better statement from a Board 

Aye some of it is business bullshit and it beats around the bush but it's far far more than we've had from anybody over the last 5 years 

Don't think anything said in that statement is wrong, Mark had the funds, brought in more players than he seems to have been promised and has failed, board have acted appropriately.

Bang on! Yet still so many people moaning. Warburton hasn't bought 1 single player capable of going for a decent fee. We need to be selling on players when we play in such a poor league.

That's football. It's a boys club and all those involved care about is staying in the club. People need to waken up.

4 days to make their decision?

What a board we have

[Drumloyal 14,966]

This is how I see the timeline:

Monday -  meeting between Robertson and agent

Tuesday - takes the proposal to the board who discuss it

Wednesday - agreed

Thursday - forest give job to Brazil,  agent moves goalposts

Friday - MW told to take presser while it's being mulled over.  MW talks usual shite and lies.  After presser the board decide not to defer resignation. 

 

Plausible?
