Anyone else think it's a tad pot calling the kettle black from MW given the way he handled the Barton incident?

15 Feb 2017 22:22:59
The guy clearly has limited man management skills and additionally didn't know how to give a rollicking to non performers. The sad fact of life is that the guy was playing Football Manager with a real live team.

Warburton and co. are playing games right now after being advised to do so. Rangers will have been advised to say nothing and respond to nothing and Warburtons camp already know this. For me it's clear that Warburton did indeed chase another job, otherwise he would have made clear in his statement that they never approached any club whilst being employed by Rangers as well as not offering a deal or a resignation. He didn't do that, that's suspicious.

16 Feb 2017 06:42:10
If rangers have been advised to say nothing did king forget this when he released his statement?

16 Feb 2017 09:41:00
He will have been advised certainly after the statement, very possibly never took advise before. I would like to think they have been advised throughout and have enough evidence for taking the action they have.

We are about to find out. If they did not then the whole thing is unforgivable

16 Feb 2017 10:24:24
There's nothing wrong or illegal to look for other jobs.

16 Feb 2017 11:03:01
@memaself - and there is nothing wrong or illegal about voicing an opinion on someone either. Plenty on here have questioned MW's ability.

16 Feb 2017 12:37:10
Onionjack, you can't see the difference in some random nobody on here having a pop at mw, to the guy's direct superior and owner of the company doing it through the media?

15 Feb 2017 19:51:31
So much for the dignified silence from ex manager and his colleagues.

15 Feb 2017 20:15:00
Would you not stand up for yourself if your ex employers were telling porkies, allegedly?

15 Feb 2017 21:12:18
were you privy to the conversation with the agent to know the club is lying, don't think so pal, wait til it all pans out then we can comment

15 Feb 2017 22:24:33
I suspect that this will all end up in a settlement long before it goes to Court. In the event of a tribunal neither side will win.

15 Feb 2017 23:27:13
Hmmmm. Who to believe? An ex legend and a manager who for whatever his faults seems quite a decent guy OR a man proven to have lied under oath and called a 'glib and shameless liar' from a judge. It's a toughie this one

16 Feb 2017 06:50:12
I look at it this way Warburton said he never offered his resignation but Rangers have never actually came out and said it came directly from him. It came from his agent and seems to me as if it's all a play on words. Warburton wanted out and you could see that since before the Hearts game but he wanted money to leave and Rangers have found the loop hole and jumped at it.

This is all just my opinion but we can wait and see what happens.

16 Feb 2017 10:04:51
McParland was in London finding them work that is it! They wanted out long ago, their heart wasn't in it and that includes Davie Weir.

King was called a liar by a corrupt judge in a corrupt system
If the club legend you refer to is DW, not all of us hold him in that regard. I thought he was an average player for a short time and his employers took advantage when we were in the s***
Some I admit, do hold him in high esteem

16 Feb 2017 11:10:14
And that is why you would not want to be in front of a judge with Marty in the jury. Don't wait for the facts to come out, just use good, old fashioned prejudice.

15 Feb 2017 16:44:09
Murty got balls he already changed formation slightly with 2 strikers. fair play to him. let's get back to 442.

15 Feb 2017 22:29:11
Encouraging start, but let's see whether he drops Senderos and Halliday after their hideously poor performances against Morton.

15 Feb 2017 15:16:12
I see WARBS has released a statement, nothing on that statement saying he didn't approach Nottingham. he says he didn't resign, but it would certainly seem he did look for alternative work, otherwise his approach would be a whole lot different to what it is.

Not entirely convinced Murty is the short term answer either, I hope he is.

15 Feb 2017 15:28:38
Surely he owes the fans some answers before he can demand answers himself!

15 Feb 2017 16:04:53
Even if he said he spoke with with Forest then that doesn't mean he resigned does it?

15 Feb 2017 16:08:19
They must be banking on their agent having made the resignation offer verbally, rather than it being written and submitted? Who knows?

The problem here will be how many people witnessed the agents offer and was it via a one to one phone call, or was it in person in front of a group? This hasn't been explained. There isn't this much smoke without fire, and there are too many glaring coincidences in conjunction with the Notts Forest job being available at this time.

The way I see it is, I wouldn't sound out my boss about going for an interview for another job, compromising my present employment, then tell them that I've been unsuccessful…so I'm just going to continue on until something else comes up. Sorry, this isn't about MW, DW and FM's careers, it's about Rangers and getting the best value for their money from employee's of the club. None of us would get away with this behaviour in our employment. They are playing daft, hoping for a payout when they were not 100% committed to the role.

Since MW appeared he has brought in 3rd rate English players all the while downplaying/ down valuing the Scottish Premiership due to us living in the shadow of the EPL. I can't hold it against him for having ambition to manage there one day, but these players were never fit to pull on the light blue jersey. Better value for money would have been found in Europe looking for talent than inflating the already inflated coffers down south.

15 Feb 2017 16:14:11
We've been looking for answers since King took over. Just a series of Traynor press releases. What chance has MW got in getting getting truth, when supporters are led up the garden path. We've no Manager but we a WOW factor DoF. Come on let's get real.

15 Feb 2017 16:23:14
I think that in Scotland a verbal contract or offer counts as an agreement. Not sure though, however, if there is proof that there was a verbal agreement then he would still be gone. Regardless, this is going to rumble on. Cannot wait for the day that we make back pages rather than front ones.

15 Feb 2017 18:50:18
Correct spoc, but it has to be ratified. In a one to one discussion you would require a witness to verify, an acceptance by the other party, a confirmation letter to the other party that is ignored, a taped recording or a minuted transcript.

15 Feb 2017 19:34:23
Does approaching another club about possible employment without rangers permission amount to breach of contract?
I certainly hope rangers have not cooked this one up. Am I hell renewing my season ticket year on year for directors to make Diddy decisions that we end up having to pay for.
Something stinks about this whole situation and I just hope rangers haven't screwed up.

16 Feb 2017 10:06:25
Josh windass will be a top player as will some of the others he has signed. It's his system that's failed up here.

15 Feb 2017 12:49:51
Joe Dodoo seemed to put in a good performance for the u21 team v Dundee United, He was played through the middle of the front line. Good to see he's playing well at a level, hopefully confidence will grow and he can reach his potential.

15 Feb 2017 15:48:18
Hes not had a good run of first team action or I think he would have proved to be worth his place

15 Feb 2017 23:38:46
Play Dodoo up front with Garner and he will score goals

15 Feb 2017 08:00:17
Does Felix Magrath not have 1 million ££ invested in Rangers?
Would he not take on the director of football or managers job?

15 Feb 2017 14:05:18
Think he wanted to at one point but not sure what happened there.
