Dave king confirms warburton wanted to use rangers as a stepping stone to work for EPL teams in the future.

Agree7 Disagree1

Dnothing unusual there all the English players in the team are the same and a whole load of past players did the same the only people that are loyal are us guys the rest it's all about the money!

Nothing wrong with that, EPL is place to be for top pros! But imo he showed a lack of respect towards our club if what king says is true regarding the way they 'resigned' and imo he hasn't been happy for months and it filtered onto the pitch as the team looked to have as much commitment as he did in the end! let's look forward, starting with morton who will be right up for it! let's get a performance put in and advance to next round! Mr warburton u just didn't have the character for the job!

Yeah like every other ambitious manager he wants a go at the EPL. Does anybody think Rodgers isn't using Celtic to do the same thing?

And can anybody explain to me if King was so annoyed at Warbs claiming he was using Rangers as a stepping stone, why did he agree to renew his contract until 2019 and increase his salary?

And if Warb's contract was immediately terminated on Monday why wasn't he asked to clear his desk but instead allowed him to hold a press conference on Friday?

Something very fishy about King's statement.

Spot on Naz, if only more people would think like you then maybe the right people would be in place. To many flaws in his statement.

11 Feb 2017 18:40:17
Naz, interesting take on the statement! How can you see such negativity in the positives that he outlined?

I didn't interpretate his comments about stepping stone to the EPL as being negative, just stating the facts

11 Feb 2017 18:59:45
His contract was not terminated at that point by the club, he asked them to accept his resignation with no financial compensation to be paid to any club he may be asked to join. Rangers have accepted.

11 Feb 2017 19:02:40
BR65, How in hell do you see the statement as being positive? And as Naz says, why was their contracts not terminated on Monday? Then a statement made ------ honesty and transparency might be a foreign language to DK, but that is what is necessary for us to move forward.

the agent had a meeting on Monday with one of the directors to ask for his clients to be released from their contracts with no compensation one director can not agree to this so no answer was given a boardroom meeting was arranged for Fri on the Thursday the agent again asked for a meeting saying they wanted to stay on till end of season but still leave in summer or when a club was found with no compensation being paid board met fri night decided to accept original offer of resignation I'm with them no probs with them using club as a stepping stone but not thinking they can do as they please if you ask to be realeased then that's it it's not as though they were doing well so onwards we go but the board must get this right

11 Feb 2017 19:28:43
Personally I believe that Rangers would be a better Club if we had someone other than King at the helm. Ideally a respected UK Businessman like Kennedy or one of the many 'closet wealthy Rangers fans'.

Whoever comes in, if they are a quality coach then they will want to compete with Celtic and they will demand a serious transfer kitty to bring in three or four quality players in key positions.

Call me a Cynic but we only hear from King when it is season ticket sales or there is a mini crisis and it is always the same bullwhip about investing more, tomorrow. While the Three Bears and the Far East guys have invested, from what I can see, King has kept his cash in his pocket!

11 Feb 2017 20:21:22
Billyb, seems like we're never going to agree!

I thinks the statement was a clear and considered update on MW's departure, the boards view on our progress, finance and the way forward.

He admitted that we are behind the curve compared to the plan and has stated that they intend to remedy that even if they have to invest more that they had originally envisaged.

He did not tell us who the next manager would be, what is happening with MA, the Easdales or any other potential investors but did explain the for various reasons some information had to be kept confidential.

Overall, a positive note for me

11 Feb 2017 21:01:14
I think a director of football will be appointed as king has spoke about that in the past, I would like to see someone like Mcleish in that role but not as manager. Personally I think he's had his day.

11 Feb 2017 21:35:27
Think it's time we all stopped the arguing and get get behind the team. I always stuck up for mw but I feel as if I've been duped after hearing he met up for talks with another club. Davie weir is a let down as well . Let's hope the board get the best man they can afford and we can get back to cheering on the most successful club in the world.

11 Feb 2017 22:10:06
BR65, your second paragraph sums up why we disagree. Total pie in the sky. There is no doubt we are both bluenoses, so let us allow time to take its course, and I totally believe your loyalty will be let down. Being cynical has its benefits.

12 Feb 2017 19:17:14
Really hope legal advice was sought and followed throughout and that accounts for some of the delay. Like all statements there is an element of spin in this one. Major step forward though and the board deserve our support for decisive action.
