I think it's a bit early to be calling for Warburton to leave - we have had one competitive defeat this season, granted it was humiliating but he deserves the chance to improve.

Plus, who would want it, or who would we accept as manager? We are not in a position to attract top-level, i. e. like Rodgers, our current financial predicament and shocking mis-management from previous boards (some may also argue from the current board too) forces whoever the manager is to effectively recruit with one-hand tied behind his back.

We can only afford a manager who has potential and willing to work under our current circumstances - Warburton fits that model, and the thing about potential is that it needs to be developed and nurtured - potential will always make mistakes, it is about how it learns from these errors that identifies whether a manager lives or fails to live up it.

So we have to believe Warburton can do it - he rightly won the plaudits last season for how we played, and deserves a chance to get it right this season. If he can't then we let him go but not before.

I think he should at least be given till the end of the season but let's be honest the next month is vital - inverness, Hearts and Aberdeen. 3 teams likely going to finish in the top 6, not to mention a difficult game this weekend against Ross County who will come to Ibrox believing they can get something. If we fail to get results in the next month, and there is no sign of improvement then King may be forced to look for a new manager.

For the upcoming games, Warburton needs to stamp his authority - he should drop Wallace, who has not had a convincing start to the season, drop Barton who has underperformed and I would drop Mckay as a show of intent to the rest of the team that no one has a guaranteed place.

Krancjar and Senderos should also drop to the bench from Saturdays team, but it is the other three that would signal to the team that they need to perform. If Warburton does it, he should get a reaction from the players. If he fails to do it and we continue our poor form then unfortunately he may never get a chance to fulfil his potential.

Well Senderos will drop from the team since he got sent off mate

Agree McKay should be dropped though not up to speed and too hesitant. I would like to see a team with Rossiter, Windass, Forrester, MOH and Garner involved.
