Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Something clearly does not add up here. We are being told a meeting took place on Monday and 'employment was terminated' why is it that four days later MW is still training the players and taking press conferences as Rangers manager. I for one haven't yet made my mind up about the board but this alone to me is a very bizarre thing to initimate in the statement. In addition, if a bombshell like that was dropped why wasn't it revealed to fans earlier in the week? Seems we've been kept in the dark again, should we really be surprised. I'd also like to state for what it's worth I wouldn't see Mark Warburton in my way after trying to jump into bed with Forest but I cannot see David Weir, a man of his stature at our club jumping shit to a bottom rate championship club.

Stab in the dark here: the board maybe took a day or so to assess the resignation offer, offer accepted back to Agent Tuesday/Wed. We are told that whilst club dealing with admin work, MW etc change mind and Agent contacts Board again. Board meet Friday to consider request, decide to reject new request and release statement Friday night along these lines. Also, the contradictory statement from MW last night results from his Agent not advising him of Board outcome prior to Board going public with statement?

LegendofCoop 17,440 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Agent apparently tried to get them reinstated. Depending on was said, and who it was said to (my take is that the agent spoke to Stewart Robertson), it would take time to then get a board meeting. Remember, DK or SR can't make the decision themselves. It does seem like a bizarre set of circumstances! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just posted this in the other thread: This is how I see the timeline: Monday - meeting between Robertson and agent Tuesday - takes the proposal to the board who discuss it Wednesday - agreed Thursday - forest give job to Brazil, agent moves goalposts Friday - MW told to take presser while it's being mulled over. MW talks usual shite and lies. After presser the board decide not to defer resignation. Plausible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a HR person can explain but perhaps the employment being terminated immediately can also give a scope for working your notice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager is still a manager four days later. It's piss poor yet again IMO from the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is mate, sounds about right however - After discussion the Board accepted this offer and employment was immediately terminated is what the statement says. I would have thought at that point he would have been told to stay away regardless of the counter offer. I would also imagine that he continued to actively carry out duties right up until Friday will feature in his argument if the club is taking the stance he resigned mid-week.

They resigned! Never Forget Never Forgive You're missing the point. I don't give a shit whether it was resignation, sacked, bullet, p45. Either way the statement says employment terminated Monday. If that's the case he shouldn't still be training the team on Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
