LeeWallaceRFC 3,920 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Quote MARK WARBURTON hope to seal his new deal as Rangers boss on his return from the United States. But Ibrox chairman Dave King has outlined exactly what they expect in return for a new contract in an open letter to the Light Blues legions. Warburton wants an end to the speculation surrounding his future by putting pen to paper as soon as possible. His advisors and King have been negotiating on a new package since before the end of last season, but details are still being ironed out. Warburton signed a three-year contract with Rangers last June on £6,000-a-week and his advisors hope to net at least double that under the new terms and conditions. But King has warned what the club expects in return for any deal being struck - and it includes an extension to his current deal or a hefty buyout clause for future interested parties. Warbuston said: “I said previously we had opened discussions, then I went on holiday. We will re-open these discussions when we go back and hopefully reach a suitable conclusion. “You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t - you say nothing and it’s a case of: ‘He’s going.’ You can’t win. It’s difficult so it will be good to put it to rest and give some clarification to it.” King has appeared to take a shot across the bow of his manager - and his advisors - in his latest address to Rangers supporters on the club website, this time on the issue of contracts. King said: “We fully stand by the contracts we enter into and meet our obligations as they fall due. “But, in instances where we feel a player, coach or manager is performing at a level of consistency above what was anticipated at the time of the original contract we will not wait until contract maturity to recognise this. “The present board is happy to reward improved performance and effort with an early renegotiation of the terms in favour of the employee but, in all instances, will require something for the club in return. “This will typically include an extension to the contract period, improved buy out clauses etc. Only under circumstances where we consider demands to be unreasonable and not in the interest of the club and its supporters would we hold the employee to the contract terms. “If this was practically difficult for footballing reasons, would we agree to transfer a player on terms that are acceptable to the club.” Meanwhile, Warburton revealed he had more than a new contract on his mind as he lay on a beach in Florida over the summer and turned the Scottish Cup final defeat to Hibs over and over again in his head. He said: “I was lying on a beach in Naples still feeling irate. We didn’t want to end a good season on a disappointing note. “We said to the players: ‘You’ve only got three and a half weeks off, don’t ruin your summer.’ And we did. “As a group of staff and players we weren’t good enough on the day and maybe it was a game too far. “We also couldn’t use any of the players we had sent out on loan due to SFA rules, including Jordan Thomson, Ryan Hardie and Tom Walsh. “They had to be registered by the semi-final and maybe that rule should be changed because surely playing young players in a cup final would be fantastic for them. “Losing Dom Ball to suspension was also a blow. We couldn’t replace him. He would have given us that physicality in midfield. I’m not saying he would have changed the way things turned out, but he is 6ft 2 ins. “I can’t speak about the aftermath. It’s a police matter and the authorities are dealing with it. “In a footballing sense, we knew what we had to do this summer. We knew what we were losing, so we went out and got them and when players became available we took them.” Meanwhile, Warburton admits Rangers fans won’t see their strongest team in competitive action until the league season kicks off next month. Rangers face four games in the League Cup over nine days before beginning life in the Premiership with a home match against Hamilton Accies on August 6. High profile captures such as Joey Barton and Niko Krancjar are set to sit out the cup tie at Motherwell on July 16 as they continue their build up to full fitness. Warburton added: “Joey probably won’t play on the 16th - and it’s the same with Niko and Jordan Rossiter. “We’ve got four games in nine days and the biggest fear is injury. We will have different squads for the 16th, 19th, 22nd and 25th and we will use a lot of the young boys too. “Our focus has to be the start of the league. I’m hoping by the Burnley friendly on the July 30 we should be able to play our strongest starting 11.” http://www.<No links to this website>/sport/football/football-news/rangers-boss-mark-warburton-reveals-8329168?#BhuD38O8zkEAvRG1.97 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Am sure this will be settled soon on an amicable basis. Both parties have everything to gain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally62 393 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Like the chat of the Club being proactive..... reward when being successful but expect more in return, including a larger fee if he's poached. Also sounds like Warbs is up for staying, so much for the paper talk of him leaving and cannot agree a deal.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieMacRFC 852 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hopefully signed soon but also credit to Dave King for his stance, perfectly normal to reward success but also making sure we ain't gonna be ripped off and shows he has the club in mind with his stance that we should gain should Warburton decide to move on.

Prso's headband 35,984 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'd hope he gets double what he was on, signs a 1-2 year extension and have a 500k-1m buyout clause. All parties, including the fans would be happy with that IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's all very well holding him to a contract but that leaves us with nothing when he walks away at the end of it. Hopefully we can iron something out that will it extend it long enough to give us some decent compensation when he leaves. Mark being the gentleman that he is should give us that cushion of a buy out clause or whatever if a Premiership team come calling. I can't really take our board seriously talking about contracts/money due to the way they have licked McCoist's arse since he left with his pockets full.

esquire8 43,833 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Definitely think that when we have another great season, the money pit down south will be calling. If Koeman can move for £5m Then surely you would put Warburton in the same group. A buy-out fee of around £4m should be put in place. Interest in the past 6 months have shown that he's already on some clubs radar. We cannot be shafted if the worst was to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
