RangersMedia 35,961 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It is clear there has been disagreement and tension behind the scenes. Warburton clearly has been struggling to get the team motivated. Getting an unhappy and struggling to perform manager out the door, isn't a bad thing.

gj923 1,457 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yes as i am reading it as letting them go rather than the manner of it or the legality. Regardless of what transpires after this he does not deserve to be discussed along the same lines of PLG and the what if question. He was backed enough to comfortably finish 2nd this season however it was not clear cut. Nor had he started building a legacy with regards to the first team squad he has left us with.

He was backed to finish second imo Just didnt have the skills as a manager to make it happen, im glad hes gone, but worried about who comes in to this mess... miller is ready to hang up his boots, and outside of fod and barrie i dont think we can comand much of a transfer fee to rebuild the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 35,392 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'd have given him more time, but he fucked it the minute he made it clear he didn't want to be here anymore by getting involved in the NF farce. Good riddance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloyd72 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Who the fuck is saying no  they tried to go back on their resignations because they lost out on a job then denied ever resigning so they can get money out of the club. They're a bunch of money grabbing cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRunsBlue 1,303 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 No. Though the 3 deffo needed to go, This will cost us. What price is the loss of dignity and class across the world added to the compensation I think we will be liable for? Yet another avoidable fiasco under king.

Orange Persson 548 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's a Yes obviously. Once you start to negotiate your exit, then your heart is not in it.

ianferguson 2,619 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Warburton has never served his time as a manager and sadly it showed, in the end all he was left with was a flawed, idealistic philosophy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiprfc 1,799 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If what's being said is true, yes, we were right to get shot of them right away. For footballing reasons alone, also yes, but I would have timed it better, maybe given him till the end of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as they mentioned the possibility of resigning then the Board should have invited them to pack up  their stuff , go home and await further instructions , much like happened with Barton . In a footballing sense they were on borrowed time anyway , so I suppose this way saves us the sight of a long drawn out goodbye . Hopefully any legal ramifications will not hinder our ability to replace him and the inevitable departures from the playing squad . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that happened during the board meeting on Monday but the agent came back in which allowed him to be back at the club on a business as usual pending the 2nd board meeting on Friday afternoon.
