Former Birmingham manager. Currently unemployed.

Aye ---- and it ain't fecking funny !

I don't see it that way at all Mac. Rangers would have got compensation if they'd went where they thought they were going. That one fell through and the club accept their resignations. The board did well imo. It would've been different if we were sitting top of the league with a good and performing well squad.

The statement says they got improved terms at the start of the season. In return the club got the right to claim money if they moved on out of the club. Their agent then appears and wants that clause amended . He's told to bolt , the club accept the resignations and in return don't seek compensation.,

Most of the questions being asked are answered here - RANGERS has accepted the resignations of manager Mark Warburton, assistant manager David Weir and the Club’s head of recruitment Frank McParland. At a meeting with the management team’s representative earlier this week the Club were advised that Mr Warburton, Mr Weir and Mr McParland wished to resign their positions and leave the Club on condition that Rangers agreed to waive its rights to substantial compensation. Rangers’ agreement to waive compensation would assist the management team to join another club. This compensation amount was agreed when Rangers significantly improved Mr Warburton and Mr Weir’s financial arrangements before the start of this season. The Board urgently convened to consider the offer made on behalf of the management team and its ramifications and agreed to accept it and release the trio from the burden of compensation, despite the potential financial cost to the Club. It is important that Rangers has a football management team that wants to be at the Club and that the Board believes can take the Club forward to meet our stated ambition to return to being the number one Club in Scotland. We are clearly short of where we expected to be at this time. The representative acting for the management team subsequently attempted to alter the terms of what had been agreed in favour of the management team. A further Board meeting was held this afternoon to discuss this and it was decided not to agree to this additional request but to hold with the original agreement. Mr Warburton, Mr Weir, and Mr McParland have therefore been notified in writing that their notices of termination have been accepted. The Board is very appreciative of the good work previously done by the management team but believes it had no alternative. Our Club must come first and absolute commitment is essential. On Sunday Under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take interim charge of the team. We know our support will give him and our team their full backing. We thank our support for their loyalty and desire to be the best. " https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/club-statement-74/

I'd suspect the board have known that Warburton wanted out and that's why the finances were held in check during the close season. Reading between the lines of what little we know, the board have got it right. We've recovered from worse situations and will do so again.

As just posted in The Lounge mate following Liverpool permanently banning The Sun from Anfield.

These hints and tips only last for a short time for most with access to and ears to listen inside Ibrox fs. I had a couple of years of it before my contact there lost his job. Even then though, I was never party to the more sensational turns as obviously the deals have to be done on the quiet to make sure they happen.

Rangers 4 Morton 0. FGS Tavernier.

I seem to remember them demanding cash up front - half a million ?? - so somebody could be considered as being preferred bidder or something. I also seem to recall that nobody apart from Green would put that money up.

Creditors will be lucky to get 5p between them no matter how many tens of millions are won at civil court. BDO I'd assume will be taking their cut and from past experience these guys don't come cheap. Or maybe I'm just a glass half-empty type.

I'm sorry Mark but that just sounds like a random line of silly excuses. If your auntie had baws has always been there. It didn't stop us beating teams we should be beating or cause us to commit suicide against another lot we should be mauling. "Mathematician " my erchie.

The criminal charges they were facing were deserted pro loco et tempore mate. The crown office also said they were considering fresh charges. I live in hope.

After all the guff about that pair suing the crown office too. It'll make my life when the criminal charges against them are resurrected as well.

I'll say straight off that I've never had much time for Miller. I always felt he simply didn't have the necessary skills to be a Rangers striker. There's no doubt though that amongst the squad of mainly under-achievers we have at the moment, he's been one of the few who can open his wage packet without feeling embarrassed. But for next season we should be aiming well above Miller. I know money is tight but around 50,000 Rangers fans are doing their part - I don't care how the board find funding, but we need some.

Given our guys form right now we could play 8 at the back and we'd still lose goals.

And we've got that clown Dallas for the Morton match.

I've always had the opinion that Ashley funded Green to get hold of our club.

To be fair the pundits on the BBC highlights programme tonight said it was clearly offside.

Kiernan and Halliday were well overdue being dropped. Garner isn't the answer but neither is Waghorn who is fast becoming a waste of a clean jersey. Being on the same wavelength point TB - I don't think less than half of them even know what he's on about. I'm fast approaching the view that, for whatever reason, we've signed a squad of dumplings. That display today was a disgrace.

The last game against the manks proves what you say LG. Their support, much as I hate to say it was magnificent that day. Our lot do our team no favours. In saying that, given what they are paid our guys should need no cheers to do their job.

I agree mate - all of that is assuming some scumbags didn't make copies of valid tickets. It does happen.

Being honest here Darth, we could spend tens of millions on a couple of players and our usual suspects would still manage to feck things up. I'd play Tav further forward. It's not as if the rest of our midfield are setting the heather on fire right now.

I thought Tavernier was one of the few better performers at Tynecastle. Granted Hodson is a better defender but I wouldn't drop Tav just because of what happened on Wednesday.
