Maybe they have been set up. Fanny hat is a very clever man and I'm sure he knows how to get the better of amateurs like the lying king. It's like every good film you ever watched, just when you think the bad guy(king) is going to win, the hero(fanny hat) turns it round at the death.

A bit like how the final in May panned out. :thumbsup::flag:

I always thought admin was a cert if Ashley won the case in March but it looks like they know they are totally screwed. Can only be the first move of an administration. :thumbsup:

Anybody see last week's SNL sketch with Alec Baldwin's Trump phoning the Mex president and saying 'Guy who's going to pay for the wall says what?'.

Who knows, but I was under the impression you had to submit a signed resignation letter or some written communication to affect a resignation. Sevco claiming they were waiving compensation so that Warburton, Weir and McParland could join Forest won't stand up to any scrutiny without an audit trail. It looks very much like an opportunist sucker move and constructive dismissal by King. Watch and see who they replace them with, Billy Davies and the Crab dream team on a fraction of the money if any at all. If it is legit, I'm quite surprised at the Hat, you'd think an ex city trader wouldn't be out foxed by a common criminal like King.

It has been suggested that Dough Boy and his pals thought they were stick-ons for the Forest job and intimated to the Hun that they wished to resign.

Forest then had a moment of clarity and told warbs tae bolt.

Der Hun saw an opportunity to offload the hapless tactician on the cheap and their inept propagandist naively tried to play it out via the media.

Result: Warbs and his pals sitting tight for a contract buyout, and a nice wee giggle for the Hibs.net :greengrin

Rangers call Mark Warburton's bluff after agent tried to broker his exit only to find Nottingham Forest were sticking by interim boss
The inside story of an incredible parting of the ways between Rangers and their management team can be revealed.

The Rangers board tonight called the bluff of Mark Warburton and accepted the resignation of the Ibrox boss.

Warburton, assistant David Weir and director of recruitment Frank McParland left their posts after 48 hours of cloak and dagger moves behind the scenes in the Blueroom.


Record Sport can reveal the Rangers board were approached in midweek by Dave Lockwood, an agent representing Warburton and Weir, and asked if he could broker a deal for his clients.

He suggested a proposal aimed to find the coaching duo, along with McParland, a new club on the condition Rangers waived their right to around £1 million compensation from any new employer.

Rangers have suspected for months that Warburton had been hatching an escape plan and agreed to the exit proposal to give a new coaching team time to consolidate a place in Europe at the end of the season.

Subsequently, Warburton was heavily backed to become the new boss of Nottingham Forest before the Championship club decided to stick with interim boss Gary Brazil until the end of the season.

Approximately 24 hours after brokering his deal with the Rangers board, Lockwood then attempted to move the goalposts and said the management staff would be happy to work on at Ibrox, but would still expect to leave for no compensation when the time was right.

Furious, Rangers directors called a board meeting - and tonight they moved, accepting what they claim was the trio’s original resignation and putting them on notice.

They will not take control of the team again and under-20 coach Graham Murty has been put in charge for tomorrow’s Scottish Cup tie against Morton at Ibrox.

One insider said: “It has been clear for some time the manager has been looking elsewhere and the suspicion was confirmed when his agent initiated contact with the board this week.

“The agent took a gamble on behalf of his client and it didn’t work.

"Rangers are bigger than any one person and the most important thing is finding the stability to take the club to second in the Premiership this season and securing Europa League football next season.”

Warburton and McParland have been under increasing pressure for the failure of their signings to hit the ground running, particularly since the start of the season.

They have signed 13 players and forked out almost £3.5 million in transfer fees, but few of McParland’s recommendations have been a success.

Rangers are languishing 27 points behind Celtic in the title race when Warburton was charged with keeping his side competitive with the reigning champions, at least until the latter stages of their return to the top flight.

Of more concern to the board has been the failure of Warburton’s squad to broker daylight between themselves in second and Aberdeen and Hearts, despite having up to four times the budget of Derek McInnes and Ian Cathro.

If this little parting of ways does not take place amicably, it will likely be without Warburton and company signing NDA's and bring inside stories out about The Rangers behind the scenes. Settlements are often handed out subject to signing NDA's but in this case, Warburton might make more money from The Sun and an autobiography.

I hope this saga puts to bed the mantra that 'he used to be a city trader, so he can't be stupid'. He's been conned out of almost £2 million in severance pay and bonuses by some dodgy Costa Brits who specialise in such antics.

[Niffy]

When Warbs agent approached Sevco bosses about a free package to leave, they must have felt it was Christmas, but then when they came back after Forrest back tracked they'd have been " nah no way you can GTF".

Sevco will spin this as "no man bigger than the club" etc , but will in reality they've got shot of a huddy for free and will be cock a hoop.

There's that pesky Sevco insider again. Wonder if he's managed to produce any evidence that all eleven Huns were attacked on the Hampden pitch yet?!

[bingo70]

Surely a resignation has to be in writing, from the individual and give a specific notice period?

The suggestion seems to be his agent got tricked into saying it in a meeting but surely there's no way that can stand up in court?

[Onion]

Reality.... Sevco wanted shot and concocted this story to save themselves £1m in compo. This is the club that has no shame, is run by a criminal, and thinks nothing of ripping off the tax man and small businesses to cheat their way to sporting success. They are proven to be morally corrupt.

If this was any other club (other than maybe Vlad's Hearts) you'd call it fiction. In Sevco's case, it's just more of the same.

You'd think so, but desperate times need desperate measures. The Rangers could easily have accepted the management team back, but now see an opportunity to get shot of them for FREE. They've turned it into a £1M hand of poker.

They are a horrible, horrible, wee club.

[Oscar T Grouch]

If the rangers do not have a signed resignation letter from these three then they're going to find themselves at the wrong end of a tribuneral ruling. It would seem daft for any other club bar the rangers to pull a move like this. What they might be thinking is the tribuneral could take months to sort out by which time they'd have secured Europa football and will have some leverage to get more soft loans from their investors. Whatever happens I am pretty sure it won't be clean or easy.

Hopefully someone can confirm this but I though Scots Law allowed for verbal contracts and instructions?

Besides, who has said that it wasn't put to the board in writing? Given the demands of the agent, I'd fully expect it to have been written down to allow the board to consider it.

To be honest, the Sevco board have played a blinder here - assuming they are happy to dump the hat man.

If they had submitted written resignations then why is Warburton denying it? I am not sure if employment law takes precedence over Scots law but resignations tend to be in writing. I think you're giving too much credit to the rangers board. This has jabba's paw prints all over it. But in truth no one know atm but I am sure it will be dragged out in fine detail over the coming weeks/months.

Edit: sorry read your post again. If his agent had submitted in writing to the board the idea of waiving comp if they move on I don't think a tribuneral would find that to be a resignation. They tend to be unambiguous about these things and would expect a 'I am resigning' type letter? Anyway no one knows and it'll still be a popcorn 🍿 story 😁

This 100%!!! We won the cup on our own merits and because we were by far the better team on the day... Warburton could do **** all about it, just like replay Robbie before him.

Whenever I've resigned from a job they've asked me to put it in writing.

Legal matters aside, you'd think if it was a third party acting on the fannies behalf they would at least call him to thank him for his efforts, seems pretty clear to me they've gone public to force his hand.

As you say, no one really knows but it will be entertaining for the next few weeks. I just hope he doesn't sign an NDA.

[Ozyhibby]

I think what has happened here is that season tickets go on sale in a few weeks time. Their board have realised that they can't sell the tickets offering more of the same. They also can't afford to pay Warburton off, therefore they have manufactured some sort of resignation story in an attempt to wriggle out of the pay off or at the very least kick it down the road past when the season tickets have been sold.
They can't afford a top manager so will likely go with Davies/Ferguson set up. Sell it as real Rangers men taking control. Level 5 will start the campaign with stiries placed in all the tabloids about the dream team in charge who are going to transform Rangers from the ground up while challenging Celtic from the off. Each article will have the season ticket hotline number at the bottom just like last year. #goingfor55 [emoji3]

For anyone interested here is Warburton's press conference, where he talks as if nothing had happened. Maybe he was under the impression that the goings on earlier in the week were behind him and that all was normal or maybe his 'normality' in the conference was a deliberate plan to back him up if the brown stuff hits the fan at a tribunal.

[sambajustice]

To be fair to Hat rack, he's not been an utter tollie as far as Huns and The Huns managers go. Yeah he was pissed after the cup final and didn't congratulate us but having seen some of the press conferences he's done he seems fairly straight down the line.

At that sort of the club you're always going to have to play to the the masses to get them on side. When Fatty McFatterson stopped the press conference about joey Barton, Hat Rack looked thoroughly embarrassed.

Yeah he's a the hun fud but I don't think he's been entirely happy with how things have gone and he has my full support ( which I'm sure he'll be delighted about) in hoping he takes the The Rangers to the cleaners.

If he hasn't formally resigned then he should probably turn up for work today. Unless his employers have put him on garden leave for which there would need to be a clear reason I would have thought.

Don't forget he also released Darren McGregor, allowing us to get him for free despite being there player of the year and having a year left on his contract.

If it wasn't for Warburton thinking Darren didn't fit into his style of play, there's no chance we would have 1 of our best players and probably our club captain in the very near future.

I wonder about that - it isn't impossible that the agent has some kind of power of attorney to act on their behalf. I've never had an agent mind but it makes sense that you would allow them to negotiate on your behalf.

Don't you have to sign something giving a lawyer such power when buying a house and allowing them to take instructions over the phone?

The reason we got daz was twofold. One Warburton kept insisting he played rb which he can do but he can get pulled out of position.

[Stonewall]

If the rangers do not have a signed resignation letter from these three then they're going to find themselves at the wrong end of a tribuneral ruling. It would seem daft for any other club bar the rangers to pull a move like this. What they might be thinking is the tribuneral could take months to sort out by which time they'd have secured Europa football and will have some leverage to get more soft loans from their investors. Whatever happens I am pretty sure it won't be clean or easy.

Or if they're as close to administration as some are saying they would potentially just have to join the list of creditors in the event that the soft loan well runs dry before the season ticket monies come in.

[macca70]

The reason we got daz was twofold. One Warburton kept insisting he played rb which he can do but he can get pulled out of position. He had tavernier for rb and didn't fancy darren at ch even though the sevco hordes could clearly see he was their best defender. Also they thought he was going to st Johnstone but within hours of his release hibs stepped in and signed. One of those twists of fate which just adds to the glorious may 21.

Yip, exactly. If any competent manager was in place, no way Darren would have left.

Warburton is the gift that keeps on giving to the Hibees.

To be fair to Hat rack, he's not been an utter tollie as far as Huns and The Huns managers go. Yeah he was pissed after the cup final and didn't congratulate us but having seen some of the press conferences he's done he seems fairly straight down the line.

At that sort of the club you're always going to have to play to the the masses to get them on side. When Fatty McFatterson stopped the press conference about joey Barton, Hat Rack looked thoroughly embarrassed.

Yeah he's a the hun fud but I don't think he's been entirely happy with how things have gone and he has my full support ( which I'm sure he'll be delighted about) in hoping he takes the The Rangers to the cleaners.

[northstandhibby]

Hopefully someone can confirm this but I though Scots Law allowed for verbal contracts and instructions?

Besides, who has said that it wasn't put to the board in writing? Given the demands of the agent, I'd fully expect it to have been written down to allow the board to consider it.

To be honest, the Sevco board have played a blinder here - assuming they are happy to dump the hat man.

It will all hinge on the circumstances of the events. I would suggest if the three had tendered their resignations verbally to the appropriate folk clearly stating it was their intentions to resign it would be considered as binding and they would be put on notice. However the confusion appears as to reports saying Warburton etc did not resign and there were instead talks held by their agent in the case of them being hired by a new club.

Until the circumstances of what was said and by whom become clear there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding proper procedure being adhered to. If Warburton etc continue to state they did not verbally resign or by any other means then it would appear the rangers breached terms and conditions of normal employment law by effectively dismissing them.

If Warburton etc did not tender their resignations verbally or in writing and did not instruct any other person to do so, then it would be safe to suggest they have a strong case for seeking adequate compensation.

For once I agree with JJ. The whole thing a stitch up to get rid an unwanted management team without any payoff.

Sure it will go to tribunal, but that will take who knows how long. In the meantime Sevco will move on to the next savior to wind up the masses and sell next year's season tickets.

And, of course the Scottish football authorities won't consider Messrs Warburton and Co.'s payoff claim as an unpaid salary as its in dispute, therefor no signing bans in the summer window.

[Moulin Yarns]

Trying to read between the lines of the reports and official statements, but it is looking like it was the agent that maybe indicated to the board the intention to resign when negotiating the 'severance package' as they expected the Forest gig. If so, and it is still an if, then they didn't resign as it was through a third party.

Just putting it out there. Warbs certainly has been getting advice from the English Managers Association on his standing and the advice to turn up as if nothing has changed makes sense. Ball back in The Rangers court, do they refuse entry??? In which case they are denying him his right to work while in dispute.

Don't forget he also released Darren McGregor, allowing us to get him for free despite being there player of the year and having a year left on his contract.

If it wasn't for Warburton thinking Darren didn't fit into his style of play, there's no chance we would have 1 of our best players and probably our club captain in the very near future.

No, he released McGregor, he didn't release him to allow him to come to Hibs. There is a subtle difference - he was thinking of his team, not doing it for our benefit.

In 20 or 30 years time, do you want Hibs fans to be talking about 2016 and saying that it wouldn't have happened without the help (?) of another team's manager? I don't, I just want to remember how well we played to overcome a 2-1 deficit to beat Sevco in injury time.

No internet for 24 hours and then this is the first thing I see......WTF is going on? Seems like brilliant stuff whatever it is though! If he is actually leaving I'd put my money on The Rangers going for Barry Ferguson because he 'gets them' and probably within budget

[Springbank]

I wonder about that - it isn't impossible that the agent has some kind of power of attorney to act on their behalf. I've never had an agent mind but it makes sense that you would allow them to negotiate on your behalf.

Don't you have to sign something giving a lawyer such power when buying a house and allowing them to take instructions over the phone?


Looks to me that either
1) Warburton weir and macparland are due their severance pay from rangers (as they didn't resign)
Or
2) they are due the same severance fee from their agent, who resigned on their behalf (hope the agent has liability insurance )

Traynor obviously briefing against Warburton from early on in his tenure, all to make it easier should the club need to turn on him.

Thing is, in public, he was pretty 'loyal' about the lack of over investment from King. I think the glib and shameless one is running out of excuses.

You can't help but think the bread man may have a few stories to tell about that place if things get messy.

[Liberal Hibby]

I'm still trying to get my head around the negotiations as outlined by Sevco. If they were talking to the breadman's rep on Tuesday about a move to another club why would Sevco waive their right to receive compensation? I can't believe that an English championship team would be unable to pay - after all Rotherham did for stubbsy and Forest are surely in better financial place than them?

In twenty or thirty years no-one will remember who Warburton was, let alone if he had any involvement in our triumph.

This has got Jim Traynor's name written all over it! I think it's been an off the record conversation with the agent, and they are using it to get Warburton out the door. By the way, the agent hasn't come out and made a statement as yet, has he, because that would certainly clear the matter up.

Don't think it matters who takes over it will be Celtic miles clear and the rest nowhere.

Looks like they are goosed then. The records hotline page is great entertainment right now and as I get it free at work I don't have to pay to get a laugh at that and the editorial.

Fwiw if he hasn't resigned in writing or through his agents then he is still employed by them and they have to either go down a disciplinary route which can take months or find some spurious reason to sack him and face a tribunal in a few months. If this was rbs or any other big company he would just be paid off but of course they are struggling financially. I doubt as with all things sevco that we will get the truth. As likely as the record apologising for their cup final untruths or the sun truly apologising over Hillsborough. Just shows what a horrible entity they are but have no sympathy for the bread man as he knew what he was letting himself in for and spread their untruths quite willingly and it took Kenny Millar to show some class which he never has in congratulating us on the cup win. I'm sure he will end up with a job with a struggling championship side soon enough.

One of the muppets suggested the King's warchest could be used to get rid of them instead of using it to buy players. He was lambasted by folk pointing out that the warchest didn't exist.

No one is seriously thinking this, shirley ??? 21 May had nothing to do with Warburton.

If it wasn't for the devastated media moralising about the after-match events, Hibs and Stubbs achievement that day would have been rightly lauded, given the horrendous disappointments and preparation leading up to the Final. The players' morale should have been rock bottom and they were up against the gloating, financially doped, title winners coming off a 3 week rest. Little wonder bookies gave us next to no chance.

IMO Alan Stubbs STILL doesn't get enough credit for 21 May, but confident that he will in time.

[Keith_M]

Jabba The Hun's stooges are doing their bit in the press right now. It's amazing how similarly their take is on Warburton's 'failure' at Ibrox

----------------------------

"He didn't have the budget to compete with Celtic, but the gulf between the Glasgow teams wasn't really the thing that brought further doubt on his ability to do the job.

It was the lack of a gulf between his team and Aberdeen and Hearts, two clubs with a fraction of Rangers' spending power, that put him under pressure. The only fair comparison that could be drawn was not between Rangers and Celtic, but Rangers and Aberdeen and Hearts, and week on week that comparison did not look clever for Warburton.."

From Tom English - BBC


"Rangers are languishing 27 points behind Celtic in the title race when Warburton was charged with keeping his side competitive with the reigning champions, at least until the latter stages of their return to the top flight.

Of more concern to the board has been the failure of Warburton’s squad to broker daylight between themselves in second and Aberdeen and Hearts, despite having up to four times the budget of Derek McInnes and Ian Cathro."


Gary Ralston - The Daily Ranger

[QMU-1875]

When are we unveiling the statue to the bread man? Some glorious memories of his tenure.

[jacomo]

Some hilarious speculation on the BBC website about their next manager.

Gordon Smith reckons Derek McInnes isn't ready for the job.

Mind you, Gordon Smith also reckoned the cup final exuberance was 'much, much worse' than the lengthy running battles at the Old Firm final in 1980, so shows you what he knows - absolutely nothing.

[Deansy]

A club firmly stuck in the 17th-Century with a like-minded PR team to match - the last 24 hours have been hilarious !.

Any other club and the GFA would be having a word with it about the damage it's doing to the 'image of the game' !

It might not be quite as simple as your'e suggesting. There is always two sides to a story and this is Lying Dave King remember.

I would suggest the agent and Warburton etc will have a vastly contradictory account of exactly what took place. Probably what has happened is the agent has sounded out what might happen in the event a club offers the trio a job offer and a discussion took place with hypothetical ideas being floated as it was becoming ever clearer there was a breakdown with the board and the msm/level 5 were on the case of smearing the trio.

A hypothetical discussion is not I would suggest a tendering of resignation. There is much more to this than what the Lying King refers to. Robertson was very probably saying to the agent 'I'll sound out the board and put your ideas to them' and the board has effectively sacked the trio and stating instead they have construed the conversation with the agent and Robertson as a tendering of resignation.

Lets wait and see if the trio put in a claim for the compensation due for early termination of their contracts and if it is put before a Court of Law or Tribunal in due course.

Warburton should show up tomorrow at Snake Mountain to perform his duties as he hasn't been given a letter of termination and hasn't resigned. I know I would if I was him. King and his rogue board will be hoping he stays away so they can further say he walked away.

Warburton song we can still sing it just need a remix


Warburtons a fxxxy he wears a fxnnys hat

he used to manage sevco but said to fxxk with that

cause when he played the hibees then suddenly it dawned to lift the scottish cup he needs a fxxxing wand
:gwa:

Apparently McLeish is "the ideal man" to take over...

Still quite like GJP and would be sorry to see him go back to that circus. It will chew him up and pit him out when it inevitably goes breasts up.

Still quite like GJP.

You should think about what the J stands for. And remember. Can't stand the pr1ck.

[jacomo]

So why did King allow them to continue beyond Monday as if they were still in position? King is a convicted liar. The whole statement reeks of porkies.


You absolutely cannot trust King.

It sounds like Warburton's agent made the mistake of thinking he could have an honest and confidential discussion with these people. Sevco might have deliberately led him into speculating on how a future severance agreement might work, who knows?

Regardless, what kind of club announces that their manager has left without having a direct discussion with the individual first?

The timing, magic hat's response, Sevco's desperate and confusing statements - it all stinks.

[Eyrie]

Correct.

Sadly I think GJP is too smart to get involved with the financially stricken mess that is the current Sevco, so we'll miss out on watching him struggle there.

Gave us one great season, brought in Russell and Frank, but we were in free fall when he left, and he had been planning his exit behind our backs for weeks, before he left, hence his nickname

He's still a JP but my views have mellowed since May 2016 and I prefer to reflect on the many good times we had during his tenure such as our derby record, 6-2, Sauzee, Latas etc and arguably the best Hibs first 11 since TT. He'll never be forgiven for being a G, though.

Yea, but if we only judged managers by the quality of their two best signings then Yogi would be a good contender too.

Problem though is that both Yogi and AM left the club in serious debt!

btw if this post is off topic then it wasn't me that started it!

Yeah, the 6-2 team was special. Hard to forgive the hun years tho. Especially the 2005 game at ER when him and hun ruffians were dancing on our pitch. Note, we didn't run on to fight anybody.


Reading a huns site, they seem to be swallow swallowing the King statement. They are truly the dumbest support going. £18m he claims as investment (in reality season book sales and soft loans from Letham and Park). Warburton at the ground on Friday but officially resigned four days earlier.

[sambajustice]

Dunno if it's been mentioned already but I just got 8/1 on Morton to win today on Ladbrokes.

Considering they're in a bit of form and Rangers are in turmoil, along with being gash, I thought those were pretty good odds!

[Ozyhibby]

Signing Sauzee and Latapy was magic but at £8k a week was also totally crazy and unsustainable. McLeish was a success because we gambled the whole club to finance his team.
He then went to the old Rangers where they were gambled the club again to finance his team by using an illegal tax scheme. This time it was fatal.
Even his early success with Motherwell saw them in admin within 4 years of his departure.
Since then he has bombed in club management. There is a reason he is unemployed.

A total farce of a club; the laughing stock of football. They can make a James Hunt of anything. A bit of me will miss that roaster Warburton because he useless. It will be interesting who they can get next: no money and a shambles. You'd have to be mad or desperate to take that job.

The resignation was handed on Monday and immediately accepted, but he took a press conference on Thursday??

How does that add up?

Clearly he only resigned from the company but not from the club!

[northstandhibby]

I've been having a cursory glance on the Hat's situation. As far as I can understand he would probably seek damages in a civil court. I would assume his contract was fixed term and had the usual terms and conditions of which would include early termination of contract settlement clauses inserted which is why the hun board have very probably attempted to insist it was resignation not termination which would avoid paying out on such terms. I believe the Hat was a banker in a past life and would be experienced in the terms of contract complexities and I'm sure would have had a competent lawyer ensure it was executed sufficiently.

I think the Henning Berg example may be cited here as a precedent. His contract was terminated after 57 days and he ended up taking Blackburn to civil court and won his case and payout.

http://www.shoosmiths.co.uk/rss/Berg-defends-Liquidated-Damages-Penalty-Clauses-7404.aspx

I could be wrong and a sports lawyer would be best placed to comment, but it is based on a cursory glance as I understood football contracts are normally slightly different as per normal employment law as the sums of money and fixed term contracts normally differ.

The problem for the bread man is he has no friends in Scotland anymore, apart from Yogi :greengrin, few weeks ago everyone was backing him and saying he was doing a good job under the circumstances that his employers are skint and can't afford any players, now the same folk talking him up a few weeks ago now have the knives out for him and all of a sudden he is the worst manager in there short history, and he won the Petrofac cup for them as well, there 1st major trophy. :greengrin very ungrateful bunch.

Take Neil McCann, a few weeks ago he was praising Warburton for the good stuff he was doing at the new club, last night McCann was stabbing him in the back at every opportunity he got the chance he was slating him.

Can't wait to hear what Chris Sutton has to say on all this, will be popcorn material :greengrin

Without contuining the acronyms - the fact that the GJP is interested in a job that (considering the difference in Septic's cash and footballing-assets) would be nothing but grief for any future Hun-manager in the next 10/15 years, tells me that the Hun are STILL to discover 'Honesty' - and that McCleish is really skint and struggling for cash!!

I don't think it'll get that far. Sevco can't gamble on the outcome of that. Also, would they not be in serious trouble with UEFA for even more in court involvement? I think they'll bite the bullet and make an out of court settlement.

Looks very much like his agent has asked if he could leave thinking he was getting the other job, Rangers called the bluff and have taken that as resignation. Warburton who didn't get the other job wants to fall back on technicality that he didn't actually go as far as resigning....
