Nasty contrived sacking it reads to me, wonder if their bonus for getting to the top league was paid?

Not the behaviour I'd want from my board, it seems easy to keep the The Rangers fans onside, enemies everywhere, front loaded investment, our rightful  place etc 

The way The Rangers are operating is simply a disgrace, however what do expect from those they have in charge

Warburton has just been appointed as the new manager of Nottingham Forest. 

No doubt, he and McParland will want to re-sign Windass, Crooks, Garner, O'Halloran, Senderos, Rossiter etc etc :rolleyes:

Hold on - does this mean crooked Dave King was actually right?

He did, yes.

But more importantly, he accused Warburton of having gone on manoeuvres to get the Forest job, leading to yet another hilarious Rangers clusterfuck.

These appointments must adversely affect any legal claims by the trio for compensation. 

Their press conference should reveal more.

This is the narrative to which King attempted to allude, indirectly, in his infamous statement.

However, it seems more than likely (I would actually say it's pretty certain) that there was an accommodation that involved, at least, Rangers informally sanctioning some preliminary contact as it appears to have been in all parties' interests to negotiate a pain-free parting of the ways.

The only place where King and the Ibrox 3 differ on a point of fact is whether the 3 resigned. King said they did, they said they didn't. Warburton's TU (effectively) has requested sight of the basis that King had for claiming resignation, but none has been provided. From my TU involvement, I would view the inability to answer such a simple request as a pretty clear indication that no such basis or evidence exists. Employers are not usually slow to show the factual part of their hand if they have one, as evidence of that sort can often kill any action stone-dead. It certainly and obviously would in this case.

So in short, this brings no new information to the table as to which of King or Warburton is lying. That one is a coin toss, unless one were to consider that the SARS trial judges character reference on King (a most extraordinary passage, in its detail and explicitness) was a mere throwaway line.

On a similar subject, now that he's been caught for his Concert Party scam, he's at it again with the statements. As with his Warburton effort, it is mostly spin and innuendo, and is light on the facts. But it would seem to leave the door open for further questions to be asked about the extent to which he attempted to drive the share price down before the party moved-in.

(He was effective in that driving-down, I have to admit; but it was quite blatant so he loses points for subtlety and hence for the prospects of defending it in court subsequently.)

That was very enlightening – thanks.

No.

he was tapped by Forrest , his agent when over a couple of scenarios with the Board, then they ripped their tights and wrongfully accepted his non resigignation.

a bit like that Qatar mob sacking Pedro because he spoke to the ****.

Mark Warbuton appears to be suggesting that the Glib and Shameless One may not be 100% honest about his departure..........

MARK Warburton last night broke his silence on his “shock” departure from Rangers and insisted none of the allegations which have been made about him since he left Ibrox last month are true.

Warburton was officially unveiled as the new manager of English Championship club Nottingham Forest at the City Ground yesterday – just five weeks after he left Glasgow in acrimonious circumstances.

Davie Weir and Frank McParland, who were his assistant manager and head of recruitment respectively during his spell in charge at Rangers, have also taken up positions at the East Midlands club.

The events which led to the Englishman’s exit from after a season and a half at the helm were bizarre and are currently the subject of a legal action that is being overseen by the League Managers Association.

Rangers claimed an agent acting on behalf of Warburton, Weir and McParland had jointly tendered their resignations in return for them waiving their right to compensation from any club they then joined.

However, the trio, who were informed via email late on a Friday night that their resignations had been accepted, have denied standing down and are pursuing the matter through the LMA.

Dave King, the Rangers chairman and major shareholder, then stated on the Ibrox club’s official website that confidential information from a board meeting had been leaked to the media.

King also revealed that he had been informed of rumours about the management team’s representative negotiating a move with English clubs earlier this season.

But Warburton, speaking about the affair publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with Herald Sport, has now hit back.

He is adamant that none of the claims which have been made about him since he moved on from Rangers are accurate and expressed hope his side of the story will come out in future.

“I kept my counsel through the events and the shock of the Friday night when I received an email, as did David and Frank,” he said. “I kept my counsel.

“In the ensuing few days when the club, when Rangers, released a variety of statements I sought the advice of the LMA who have been outstanding in their support.

“I issued my response through the LMA in my official statement and right now, I’m sure you can appreciate, there is a legal process under way and being followed. It wouldn’t be appropriate to make any comment above what was in my statement.”

Warburton added: “As and when the time is right, I’m sure that can change. But right now it is really important that we follow that legal process.

“As I have said I have got a legal process. But what I can say is I have heard an awful lot of things that supposedly happened but none of them are true.

“From my point of view, I will follow the advice of the LMA who have been outstanding in their support. Let’s follow the process and when the time is right I am sure the details will emerge.”

Warburton, whose first game in charge of Forest is the East Midlands derby against their local rivals Derby County at the City Ground tomorrow, said the move to the two-time European Cup winners had happened suddenly.

Asked if he had expected to be back in management so quickly, he replied: “In truth, no. I didn’t expect to be here. It happened very, very quickly.

“I was advised by many people to take months out of the game and reflect. I’m not that way inclined. It may suit some people. It doesn’t suit myself and David. But I was taking my time and spent some time at home. Literally, when it came it happened very, very quickly.”

I guess Warburton will now be referred to as Judas by the loyal. It just shows reality as clear as day when it comes to how far down the food chain Rangers are now when employees use the club as a stepping stone up.

Why would Rangers be any different from any other club in this respect?

*un believable! King is suing Warburton or Forest for breach of contract after accepting a resignation that was never put on the table by the management team. This pantomime of a club gets more laughable by the day!
