LegendofCoop 17,287 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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. Bad Robot and scott12003 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lloyd72 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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. Â We on the other hand appear to have no structure.

Tommy WATP 86 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 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.

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 cstamomusa and willygers4life 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted February 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2017 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. TheQueensEleven, slimjim1690, Jonok and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted February 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2017 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Drumloyal 14,966 Posted February 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2017 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?   KeyserSoze, ritchieshearercaldow, frazer89 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
