    Warburton was down at Forrest a week or so before they left.

     

    I've got a wee bit of a theory on it. Might be completely wrong and am happy to be shot down.. 

    I think sometime around the Hearts pumping, the board told W&W they'd be sacked or resigned at some later date. When Warburton was spotted at Nottingham they saw an opportunity to cut their losses without having to give them a payout. 

    It could explain Warburton's initial bewilderment when the news broke he had resigned. 

    Could explain why the statement from the board was confusing as there seemed to be a discrepancy in their timeline of events. Iirc they claimed W&W had resigned on a certain date but they had  took training on days after. 

    Might also explain why they went to the LMA with a grievance.

    Threatening the club with legal action isn’t conjecture. That happened. They approached the LMA. The LMA approached Rangers for evidence to support their claim that they resigned. The LMA decided against taking the case on once Rangers backed up the claim they resigned 

    Link to this please? 

    What's your take on the original events? 

    Do you think it's as straightforward as them being caught engineering a way out of the club? 

    Do you think Weir is deserving of being called a cunt/rat/snake over this?

    I never mentioned the word hate. I just can't see the man as a legend of our club after the way he treated us. He could of had some integrity and said that he had failed and was looking for a new job. He would have still held his legend status in my eyes. Instead he pretended he wasn't looking elsewhere before quitting and joining the club he said he wasn't in contact with, then said he never quit and threatened legal action against the club he grew up supporting. Being part of Rangers isn't just a job, he's not working a 9-5 selling mortgages, as a "legend" he had a responsibility to the club and fans and instead he acted like a snake.

     

    Good luck to him whatever he does however he shouldn't now be giving interviews about us, his time here is done.

    All of your points on how he left are conjecture which over time, has turned into 'facts'. 

    Davie Weir is a good bear and was an absolute class act for us for years. 

    None of us know exactly what went on but I wouldn't trust this board as far as I could grogger so would be willing to at least give him the benefit of the doubt.

    I like Fury, I think he's a big character, controversial, funny and he has added some real excitement and spice to the heavyweight division. His performance against Klitschko was fantastic and he deserves all the praise in the world for that. There's no denying how impressive that was and in fairness he has received the credit for that, and more. However, I don't quite get the over confidence of some Fury fans, and those who say he beats AJ easy. Prior to that fight he was pretty average and his list of conquests was no better than Wilder for example. He was plundering along against some poor opponents on Channel 5 and the like.

    By the time Fury fights next he'll have been out a long time. You have to credit him for his weight loss and getting back in shape but will he be able to reproduce the Klitschko performance again? Was that just a freak one off incredible performance? Was it just a classic case of Klitschko being the perfect style for Fury to fight to allow Fury to shine? Did Klitschko underestimate Fury? Was he too complacent? Possibly a combination of all of the above. Regardless, all the credit goes to Fury. But it was only one fight.

    Fury may very well become a great in boxing but beating Klitschko once, as good as it was is not enough for me. He has to do a lot more. To be great you need to win them all, defend them all and do so on many occasions. He's yet to do that although there of course are mitigating circumstances. 

    Hopefully we get to see AJ Fury one day. If it happens there's no denying though that AJ Fury is a blockbuster fight. It will break all records and to be honest it's just good to have a bit of excitement in the heavyweight division...............

     

    Absolutely spot on. 

    Klitschko was abysmal the night Fury beat him. He had lost his motivation by then and was a pale imitation. 

    He found some of it again against AJ last year but it wasn't enough. 

    If that Klitschko turned up against Fury that night Fury would be long forgotten about by now.
