And some will believe it.

Working a notice period, then. I'm reading DK's statement, so how much, or, better, which parts, of it should I believe?

Of course, but they know that they have resigned, that the resignation has been accepted, and that they are on a notice period.

Ian, the last thing we want is a rabbit. A lion, perhaps, a giant, hungry, fucking lion.

So Warburton was working on Friday, not knowing that his employment had been terminated with "immediate effect" on Wednesday.

We could give King the benefit of the doubt, and say that the statement is badly written. (It is.) I should still like to know when the "resignations" were accepted.

"Immediately terminated", but the fellow thus despatched did not know?

Does your mate know that the source of leaks was the boardroom, or has he made that assumption? Surely even clowns like Jackson & Co will keep quiet about who their informant actually is?

Working his Notice? They are all lying.

I was therefore not surprised when the management team’s agent approached the Club’s Managing Director Stewart Robertson to request a meeting which was held in Glasgow on Monday this week. The outcome of this meeting was that the agent subsequently offered that Mark, David and Frank would resign with immediate effect without compensation as long as the Club, in turn, agreed to waive compensation from any new Club that they signed for. After discussion the Board accepted this offer and employment was immediately terminated. So why was Warburton holding the Press Conference on Friday, if his employment was terminated on Monday?

Allegedly, the Board was minded to bag them, anyway, next week it seems, with all the requirements for compensation for contract termination that that would entail. Thus the offers to resign fell like manna from Heaven.

You would hope!

There is a rationale for the manoevres, and it has to do with (more) money for the three caballeros.

Maybe thought they would be charged with "tapping up"? 3 - 0 down to Norwich after 18mins.

Three/four months of Big Eck would be more than sufficient. If it is true that the unholy trinity were to be bagged next week, regardless, surely there is a plan for replacements in place?

I have no idea, Mr Forlanssister is the man with the finger on the pulse. Since his original reference to 'good news' we have had -Messrs BDO suing Nanker & Phelge re: the administration of the Administration -the resignation and, it seems, immediate departure of our floundering management team both of which could be seen as good news in themselves. There is another piece of good news upon which MrFS sits, for the present. How will we cope with it all?

Must involve money, in one way or another, then. Unless, whomever may be persuaded of the creativity of chaos.

If I was trying to manoevre like the three caballeros -talk to a club without permission, and negotiate resignations with the proviso that notice and/or compensation be waived- I should be inclined to take legal advice, rather than leave it to an agent who seems to have had little grasp of Scots Law, and thought that a nod and a wink was appropriate in the circumstances.

These things can happen when you rely on a bookie's runner rather than, say, a solicitor.

Was the departure of Warburton et alia the "good news" to which you referred, coquettishly, earlier in the week?

It is at times like this Timothy Dhim really, really wishes he hadn't taken his 'phone to Cash Converters.

According to R. Forsyth on Radio 5, McLeish is the nap.

My mate from down the Clyde coast has just suggested Tommy Wright, and an all Protestant (by which he means Presbyterian) team. He is a bit on the dry side, right enough. Might shift tickets, of course.

Send them to Mark Warburton; he knows how to sell them......

Defence, midfield, and attack all need attention; apart from that it will be a horse's knob for the new men.
