DaveyDenoon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have it on good authority that The Mark Warburton will be unveiled as the new manager on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If the reports about Warburton's trying to broker a deal to leave are to be believed then I agree wit the board forcing his hand. However, talk of Billy Davies coming in sends a chill up my spine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm sure our smsm will be all over this with headlines about the shambles that is the rangers and how they are bringing the game into disrepute, like they did with Hearts. What a total shambles of a club and I look forward to yet more court cases to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's never dull. So, from what I can interpret, Warburton et al approached the club last week with a view to being released from their contracts FOC to enable them to join Nottingham Forest, who they had presumably been in dialogue with. That is in breach of contract - 'tapping up' - but it won't come to anything, I suspect, because it would have been informal. I also presume that Nottingham Forest, in the interim, changed their minds and opted to maintain their current caretaker manager to the end of the season, leaving them in limbo once Rangers decided to accede to their request. According to some journalists, Rangers were going to pay them off next week anyway (somewhere between £700k and £1.2m was mentioned) so this was a convenient time for Forest to apparently make their approach. It all depends on the paperwork, or lack of. If a formal resignation letter is in place then Rangers are in a strong position. If there isn't, and resignation discussions were informal, Warburton et al would likely be entitled to compensation, which Rangers were apparently willing to pay anyway. The only certainties (probably...) is that Mark Warburton will not take charge tomorrow and that Rangers have handled it poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anything is certain at this juncture. If they did approach and offer their resignation, cut a deal via their representation and then seek to withdraw it, when forest withdrew their offer - how have Rangers handled it badly? A lot of ifs.

But as I said I'm far from expert. Think you're right. Unless Rangers have some sort of documentation backing their side of things up it'll be a settlement. It did, however, allow Rangers a way out without looking bad until their amateur hour PR twats messed it up. Now who will want the job? Seen loads of names linked and apart from the ones we can't afford (De Boer) they all inspire depression rather than hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've handled it badly by announcing the 'resignation' before it was contractually resolved, opening us up to ridicule. They also handled it badly by allowing a 5 year old child to format their official statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khana Lagur Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Is Rangers ‘have’ or Rangers ‘has’ the correct form? Both are correct, depending on 'who' is using them. Here it isn't a case of whether the grammar is absolutely linguistically accurate or not. It’s simply a case of the language convention used in the different worlds of business and journalism. Rangers (the club/business) are using both corporate and public relations language convention, which is to express the entity in singular format, hence the use of ‘has’. In business and PR lingo it also suggests - (in Rangers' case, don't ) - a sense of unity of purpose, organisation and cohesion in the business world. But newspapers (mainstream media in general) use journalistic convention when referring to both football clubs and the Police, hence 'have' is used.

Not 100% sure so I may be corrected. Bang on. There is only one Rangers, therefore "has". Even if it was a collection of people, it would be "a" collection of people, singular, and "has" would be right again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
