Warburton signing a contact extension till 2019. The real singing of this summer, absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see what this season brings!

In total agreement there leven lad, the most important figure at any football club is the manager, warbs and big davie signing their new contracts is without doubt the best signings this summer, I'm totally ecstatic with this wonderful news as our management team are imo brilliant! I said on here when warburton and big davie weir became our management team over a year ago now that the way they work and their plans for our football club would make this the biggest revolution since graeme souness and walter smith breezed into town in '86,only difference is warbs and weir are doing it without a big budget, superb!

He was always going to sign but I can't see how you put this ahead of someone like Barton. The gaffer would be here regardless he has another two years left on his deal (now three) . Delighted that the gaffer has signed a new deal but in reality it doesn't mean anything. He will have a decent buy out clause and if someone from England wants him and he wants the move he will go and that's why I don't know why you value it so much. Kranjcar and Barton are the best signings for me this summer. Not sure what kind of deal McParland is on but he's a guy I'd like to tie down for the long term as well, an unsung hero at Ibrox at the moment vital component for our signings.

RossW, You cannot see how put ahead of Barton, well would barton and kranjcar both of whom you obviously rate very highly have arrived if Warburton was not here? Also to date Warburton has done what he was brought for others have still to prove that.
You also say that signing another deal means nothing and then go on to say you would like Mcparland also to sign extension.?

They wouldn't have arrived if MCPARLAND wasn't here. You could be default be petty and say "well he wouldn't be here without MW" which just defaults back to none of them would be there without King and the current board. How can a resigned contract of a year extension, which everyone expected because he would have had to accept 6k a week for two years otherwise, be more significant than a permanent new player signing of the calibre of Barton or Kranjcar? MW would have been here regardless of the extension. The extension is meaningless in the sense that if a club from England wants him they would get him anyway it adds nothing more than boosted wages to MW which he deserves. What part of that can't you process? If someone from down south wants him they will offer whatever his buyout clause is and if he wants to go he will. Three year deal won't prevent that if it happens. That's why its not at significant as MW. Last summer, yes best signing by far but how can you put a resign in that category when we are bringing in players like Barton who I'd say was the biggest signing by a mile. I say we should tie McParland down mainly because I state I have no idea what kind of contract he is on for all I know he has a year left and will leave next season but yes it is futile in the respect that we can get priced out off anyone down south.

Cannot believe you do not know anything about Mcparland contract since you seem to know all about Warburtons, assume this knowledge all from newspapers, which are always spot on eh! Similarly as you seem to know all about Tavernier and Waghorns based on your previous posts almost suggesting they should be hung for having the audacity to try and improve their lot, regardless of the fact that their input last year was certainly greater than others like Wilson etc, but can only assume you know how everyone's salaries compare before knocking individuals.

Good news about MW and DW contracts. Notice Kenny has spoken some wise words on life after Ibrox and expect Tav and Wag hearing message loud and clear.

Honestly rossW your statement regarding mark warburton is baffling to say the least, the most important, iconic person if you like at any club is the manager especially someone of the ilk of 'the magic hat', truly mate some of your statements I really can't make head or tail of at times.

I'm ranking them in order of how important the deal is. MW would be here REGARDLESS of whether or not he signed another contract. We wouldn't be talking about challenging for the league without signing the likes of Barton and that's why I said it was more important. How does that baffle you that I value the Barton deal more than MW one year extension? We could have signed a one year extension in 2 years if we wanted there was no rush, no necessity to it and that's why it's less important than you are making out. Has nothing to do with MW himself, what he brings, what he has done but how can signing a one year extension be more significant than Barton on a two year deal? All I've said about MW contract is the fact he has two years left and was on 6k a week. Common knowledge by all accounts. Have never once said anyone should be hung so if your just going to make stuff up then go for it I said everyone else had accepted deals that was offered to them and they didn't and I don't believe the board would have offered less than they were worth. I have never said that I know what any player is on other than Barton who is around 15k.
TL;DR It has nothing to do with MW and what he has done, It's not him or his contributions that I feel is insignificant. It's the fact its just an extra year which means nothing in comparison to the quality of Joey Barton and Krancjar signings have brought this summer. How can you say him signing a year extension was more important than these signings this season? That's what the whole debate was "Signing of the Summer" and all that stuff I'm reading. I just said I felt that its really no big deal that he's signed another year in comparison to the other signings we have made. Just dumb people saying "oh its the signing of the summer" **** off how can it be no one would be talking about the title if we hadn't signed Barton and Krancjar and if he didn't sign he would be here anyway its just a year extension.
