Originally thought it was a hack job or something on the website.
It's the real fans, like you, I feel sorry for.

Are Walter Smith and Ally McCoist coming back?

I've thought for a while they were looking to get rid of him. Best guess now is that something has been said and they're trying to twist it into a resignation to avoid paying them off.
I read a story today that said Donald Trump almost bought them before Craig Whyte.... I actually wish he had, it's that bad!

Been watching Sky Sports, seems to me that there's been a bit of brinkmanship being played and it may well have back fired on them.
Time to get a proper manager in now, one who knows how football needs to be played.

They're currently running a £10m a season deficit. Warburton was doing a decent job within the constraints currently in place.

His signings certainly haven't helped reduce their deficit. There are too many players there not worthy of pulling on the jersey and they are getting(for scotland) big money to do it.

If this is going to happen then can we please get Billy Davies in....yes he'll ruffle Dave King up and want to run the show on his own,BUT he's never failed wherever he's been plus he's blue through and through(think of the fireworks he would bring!!!)

The Ashley issue and King losing his wallet issue are much bigger issues down Ibrox way than Warburton IMO.

Billy Davies? That could be more hilarious than the magic hat.
Billy Davies is not Rangers answer.

Bring back Super Ally I say.
Warburton was doing a fair job, he got the team playing decent football.
His playing tactics were poor, he could not change plans when they were losing.
Unlucky with injuries to new signings. He clearly did not sign Barton, that was a board room disaster.
He promised the fans 2nd in the league and fulfilled it, quite easy to do with a much bigger budget than Aberdeen or Hearts.
The fans gave him a lot of support, next choice of manager will be critical.
Billy Davies......did he not get sacked by the team Warburton is going to ?

I saw a story that claimed Warburton had spoken to Nottingham Forest about the vacancy there. If that is true then he wasn't that committed and was looking to jump. The board have presumably reacted to that. That may explain some of last night.
Of course, if the above is not true then go back two steps.

Bit of a poisoned chalice the Rangers job, fans will not be happy with anything but being no.1 in Scotland all the time and back in Champions League despite all the financial collapse and ongoing problems and Celtic having a huge head start and a very good squad and top manager presently. Warburton wasn't doing that badly imo, silly expectations from fans given the squad they have not helped by poor/unlucky signings such as Barton and Krancjar of course. They're lying around 2nd/3rd in their first season back up, doesn't seem so terrible to me and club/fans should have more patience, at least Warburton tried to play football the right way. Don't expect the next appointment to do much better tbh, how can they without massive financial input that the board either don't have or refuse to spend?

Story seems to be that warburton wants the forest job and his agent approached the rangers board to ask if he could be released without compensation. The board agreed but subsequently the agent back pedalled claiming he hadn't actually resigned. Possibly after forest saying they don't want him?
Embarrassing but I'd say he's gone and it'll likely end up in court. Seems harsh to say Dave king hasn't stumped up cash, must be close to £30m just on legal fees.

Not true about the fans. The vast majority are quite clear about where rangers are and nobody is expecting them to challenge Celtic at the moment. Problem is there doesn't seem to be a strategy to even gradually narrow that gap. Agree he's been very unlucky with injuries but there are glaring problems in the team that don't seem to be getting addressed.

Just heard a version of what went on behind the scenes this week. If true, the Warburton and his team deserve everything they get ....
Seems Warburton advisor /agent has played a very high stakes game of poker ..... and lost.

Well good luck with that but a new manager of reputation or clout is going to have be pretty desperate for that job imo. OK Warburton is now getting pelters for trying to wangle a way out of the club but why does he want out so soon? - unrealistic goals and a poor relationship with the 'talk the talk but wont walk the walk' boss King, have sympathies with MB, will be the same old for the next guy in the door. Rangers are still to make a baseline of where they are now before thinking about developing a strategy to catch Celtic, I'm a Dons fan not a Celt incidentally. Re new manager McInnes has done all he can for Aberdeen, if Rangers ask I think he'll go, would be a better appointment than McLeish for Rangers I think, McInnes knows the league inside out now, McLeish is rusty.

Sounds like it Dave, Im led to believe Rangers called their bluff and saved themselves a fortune by doing so

McInnes would be talking a backward step going to Rangers just now.
