Wash your ears then.  Talk of investment was to get the club back to where it should be.

And what would you define as getting the club back to where it should be then???

How could the agent move the goalposts ? At that stage MW' position was untenable if rest is true. If this happened and the board agreed to agent's demands for whatever dubious reason they are all screwed.......

The club statement last night said the agent moved the goalposts on the compo ?

5 to 6mill on players

They spent £3m this summer and the wage bill increased by £4m so..... 

[Gaz52 11,837]

It's not £18m worth of players he's talking about. There was a shit lot of stuff needing fixed like the youth department, stadium development (the new Ibrox stadium signs), more staff needed to be hired as we barely had employees in important departments

Then there is obviously what MW got over 2 years, his wages, Weirs wages etc.. players wages. Everything he's talking about probably does equate to £18m. There's a lot of ugly stuff that needed fixed and it takes money to fix them, wee things you don't really think about, like hiring admin staff, more staff at ticket office, more social media staff etc

I'm by no means supporting King as I don't trust the guy, I'd rather we had someone else at the helm but I do believe around £18m is accurate all things considered. 

Apologies for the bad grammar in that post my laptop is fucked

My understanding is that the employer can terminate by immediate effect but the employee still needs to accept it and the actual resignation date need not be the date the employer instructs the termination. 

Thats why you have gardening leave.

The extent of the compensation that's the difference.  If you terminate a contract and they take up enploent elsewhere then you don't shave to pay the full amount compensation. 

If you are accused of constructive dismissal then all bets are off and you could pay the full amount.

it will also cost 6 figures in legal fees if it gets messy.

Your an employment law expert then.?

Are you good at Taxes as well.?

Yeah, that would make sense. But it sounds like the employee in this case still hasn't accepted it!

Interesting that Warburton has reacted badly to internal questioning of his work.

I always thought it would end like that.

Usually only one winner when that happens.

Albeit different circumstances his Brentford job ended similarly, the chairman and him had different ideas.

Maybe the chairman should have got rid of him right away when he made it known he would be leaving at the end of the season.

The agent would have no option but to try. The point is the agent failed to move the goalposts because the Board rejected the attempt. (in this scenario anyway) Don't see how the Board is compromised there.

[loyal 136]

no mention of a signed piece of paper of resignation just agreement in place if they found  a new club fuck me he's a fuckin tool KIng  

so the probable outcome  means it's going too cost us lengthy legal battle that will end up with them getting compensation .

It obvious no person in any capacity or job  would walk away without securing another job in writing .

Why would you accept someones resignation and allow them to continue in their job and talk to the media as Rangers manager?

Exactly!

Seems King is having difficulty with this simple premise.

Some fucker is telling porkies.

Because that would have been at the request of the agent until it suited both parties.   I have resigned before and worked on until it suited both sides.   Financially it suited RFC for them to walk away.

You dont know that . Calculating how many bits of wood for a job and pricing them is a wee bit different from being the manager of Rangers.

They should have been shown the door as soon as the Board accepted this.

[Coop 654]

Any competant business would get a resignation in writing.  It covers their arse and leaves no room for doubt.

King suggesting that Warburtons agent making a proposal equates to Warburton resigning doesn't stand up to scrutiny.  Rangers contract is with Warburton and not his agent so only Warburton can tender his resignation.

This will end up in the courts.

Some of you cunts don't honestly have a clue.

most fans will only believe we have Spent £18 million if rangers had written something along the lines of

"rangers buy player for £18 million" 

 

do you honestly think the board haven't invested?

we are running at a loss the board are plugging the gap - soft loans or not that's still investment. Back room staff,players wages, small fees. It all adds up. 

I for one believe the squad is good enough to get second it's just a shame we have stuck to 4-3-3 once this change we will see a new team under the correct management. Prime example are the taigs. 

Generally a good statement. Seen someone tweet saying why are the board not responding. After the response, why is Dave king making this public? Lose lose for the board.

im just hoping the board haven't been stupid to have the resignation as a gentlemans agreement or we will need to offer a pay off fee. Despite the management staff being sneaky little cunts they will want paid. Lost all respect for them all.

It's not as simple as that which is evidently clear when MW tried to change the previous compo agreement ?

Yes - they were beyond awful against Boro in the playoffs, suggesting wheels were on the way off.

Possibly...

Monday -  Meeting between Robertson and agent.

Tuesday - Robertson takes the proposal to the board who discuss it.

Wednesday - Agreed by the Board and MW is told his employment is terminated. Paperwork commences.

Thursday - Forest give the job to Brazil. The agent then moves goalposts. The Board stop the paperwork and MW is asked to continue with his duties.

Friday - MW takes the press conference whist the goalpost move is being considered.  After the presser the board decide not to defer resignation. 

??? 

Why would they do that when King says their contracts were terminated immediately after the first board meeting ?

I was therefore not surprised when the management team’s agent approached the Club’s Managing Director Stewart Robertson to request a meeting which was held in Glasgow on Monday this week. The outcome of this meeting was that the agent subsequently offered that Mark, David and Frank would resign with immediate effect without compensation as long as the Club, in turn, agreed to waive compensation from any new Club that they signed for. After discussion the Board accepted this offer and employment was immediately terminated.
