Looks like the agent is the catalyst in this and it has then been handled amateurishly on both sides and now exists as a nonsensical situation.Oh for the wisdom of Solomon.
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.

Apart from the club agreeing to delay the announcement. I cant work out why that would be the case. They should have left with immediate effect as their minds werent on the job in hand. Exactly what Murray did to Souness when Liverpool sniffed - he told him to leave straight away.
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. "

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.

And STILL we give this paper access to our manager, players, Directors etc.
BAN THE DAILY RECORD FROM IBROX
As just posted in The Lounge mate following Liverpool permanently banning The Sun from Anfield.

Jellybeans had a few early hits but has many misses cast your mind back to the large Cummings thread on FF a few weeks back which suddenly vanished when Cumming's agent called him out.
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.

If there is clear evidence of a higher offer, then D&P were negligent in their duties.
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.

That ship has sailed unfortunately.
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.

Going three at the back with the current personnel would be suicide.
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.

Wasn't Ashley in it from the very beginning? That's the impression I got.
I've always had the opinion that Ashley funded Green to get hold of our club.

Just sent the highlights - their goal was offside. Not a single mention of this, multiple replays, castigating of linesmen etc.. Just ignored.
To be fair the pundits on the BBC highlights programme tonight said it was clearly offside.

Was delighted to see Kiernan & Halliday dropped, but then utterly amazed to see the one midfielder who naturally wants to get into the box to shoot stuck inside his own half for the first hour of the game.
Surprised Garner came straight back into the starting side, but not surprised it was Waghorn, our top scorer, who was dropped again instead of the ever-present but rarely scoring Miller, who continues to be teachers pet.
This 4-3-3 formation doesn't suit the players at our disposal (who the manager bought) but MW stubbornly refuses to try the one formation that it looks like would suit our players more, a 4-4-2 with a twin strike force and a 4 man midfield.
I have asked the bears on my bus a few times since Tynecastle first time around if it looks to them that the dressing room are not on the same wavelength as the manager, and have mixed responses. In the 30 plus years I have been follow following home and away I have seen a few Rangers sides where the manager has lost the dressing room and the players are under-achieving and capable of better but seem to have lost their belief in the manager. I've seen it happen to Advocaat, McLeish, McCoist, and there are lots of similarities between those times and this.
I hope it's not the case as MW is rebuilding the club really well OFF the park, and looks like an ideal DofF, but clearly is struggling to get his visions across to the players, all bar 3 of which he signed. We should remain patient and stick with MW, however should we be knocked out the cup next weekend it will be all over and I can't see how he would survive that. Similarly if we lose heavily at Pittodrie or the piggery the shouts for his head will increase to a point where the board may get twitchy to deflect away from them.
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.

when we scored today it should have rallied the support and in turn it would have rallied the team.
It didn't. Partly both were at fault.
At times the team slowed things down to play things easy and backwards instead of getting the fans to drive us forward,
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.

SPFL should investigate, fine Hearts for the obvious breaches and ensure Rangers fans are refunded for tickets and all associated travel costs.
Edinburgh City Council should investigate the obvious breach of license inasmuch as supporters without valid tickets gained entry and associated H&S issues.
I agree mate - all of that is assuming some scumbags didn't make copies of valid tickets. It does happen.

Possibly moving him into a more forward role, which encourages him to get forward.....though he's done well in midfield before. We need to shore up the defence.....just too many weak goals being let in....
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.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was virtually the same starting 11, but put in a fabulous display.
I would suggest dropping Tav & Kiernan from defence, with Hodson & Senderos coming in. Or there is 20yr old David Bates who signed last year - no idea what he's like though.
Halliday dropped, in favour of Holt alongside Hyndman & Windass or Forrester
Up front I'd have Waggy, McKay & Dodoo with Miller on the bench.
I would also like to see a couple of the youngsters on the bench, with a view to getting some game time. They need evidence that there is a path to the 1st team.
They need to play the ball on the deck, in short sharp passing movements - give county the runaround for 45 mins. 2nd half, change it up a bit & start throwing in some diagonals & balls into the box.
Most importantly, they MUST operate as a team.
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.
