Confusion Over Management Team's Future

Sounds like they've been offered the Forrest jobs, verbally given their resignation via an agent, had the job offer pulled, and then the agent has tried to backtrack. 

If it's the case then MW and DW have really let themselves down with trying to come back at the last minute. 

And MW in particular by saying he's not resigned (technically he hasn't) if it's not written and was via an agent. Snake move IMO. 

Good on the board if they've shown the balls to tell them all to GTF. Need to communicate with the fans though.

Copied from the rangers website, now the layout is suspicious, paragraphs running into the next etc. Is it possible the site has been hacked as well as twitter account? What a fucking shambles. 

Club Statement

RANGERS has accepted the resignations of manager Mark Warburton, assistant manager David Weir and the Club’s head of recruitment Frank McParland.

At a meeting with the management team’s representative earlier this week the Club were advised that Mr Warburton, Mr Weir and Mr McParland wished to resign their positions and leave the Club on condition that

Rangers agreed to waive its rights to substantial compensation. Rangers’ agreement to waive compensation would assist the management team to join another club. This compensation amount was agreed when

Rangers significantly improved Mr Warburton and Mr Weir’s financial arrangements before the start of this season.

The Board urgently convened to consider the offer made on behalf of the management team and its ramifications and agreed to accept it and release the trio from the burden of compensation, despite the potential financial cost to the Club. It is important that Rangers has a football management team that wants to be at the Club and that the Board believes can take the Club forward to meet our stated ambition to return to being the number one Club in Scotland. We are clearly short of where we expected to be at this time.

The representative acting for the management team subsequently attempted to alter the terms of what had been agreed in favour of the management team. A further Board meeting was held this afternoon to discuss this and it was decided not to agree to this additional request but to hold with the original agreement.

Mr Warburton, Mr Weir, and Mr McParland have therefore been notified in writing that their notices of termination have been accepted.

The Board is very appreciative of the good work previously done by the management team but believes it had no alternative. Our Club must come first and absolute commitment is essential.

On Sunday Under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take interim charge of the team. We know our support will give him and our team their full backing. We thank our support for their loyalty and desire to be the best.

But a bewildered Warburton told SunSport: “What’s going on? This is scandalous, I’ve no idea what they’re talking about.

“I haven’t resigned. I’ve never resigned — I’ve no idea what they’re talking about.

“I was advised by an email to read an urgent letter. But, I tell you, I haven’t resigned.”

Back that up. If you can. The board has let the management team down. This is a King disaster, with no bloody funds.

KAI - I usually think you’re well sighted on this. Do you have anything on the Warburton-led management team letting Rangers down?

Fucking shite, no funds 1.5m for garner is no funds ??

Just saw a car arrive at Ibrox, it is dark out there but you couldn't see the driver, I almost thought the car was driving itself

That was until I saw the bright smile amongst constant darkness...

Jimmy Calderwood has arrived!

Aye straight from the pit back shift!

Doesn't need to be in writing for it to be legally binding. The agent made a verbal offer and once it was accepted they can't back out. Messy though

that statement just looks shite - why would "Rangers agreed to waive its rights to substantial compensation"

Would we be due compensation if he were to leave to Forest? Maybe Forest were unwilling to pay and it suited all parties just to let him go?

Not reading through this whole thread, has he resigned or not ?

Reports are saying his agent was fishing for the Forest job, agreed terms to leave, forest went with Brazil, the agent Lockwood tried to have the agreement continue to the end of the season, the bored got pissed off and accepted the original terms - whether he resigned or not is unclear. What is clear is that he's gone. And a snake to boot
