Got a feeling that we are going down the same route that Celtic did with Ronny Delia and he did win 2 championships, but ask any Celtic fan and they will tell you it was rotten Delia was handed players from above and told to coach them.

The play was poor attendances dropped and in the end they turned against the manager and board. Now correct me if I am wrong but the similarities are already starting to show - it is the cheap option.

The De bore's will not work under these constraints. Only young emerging coaches will try this out like at Hearts with Robbie Neilson and Ian Cathro where it has been a success, but this is Rangers where success is measured on trophies and old firm games.

So DK take note, we need to challenge and beat Celtic regularly so make sure you get it right.

At this moment most of us would be happy with just beating the rest! Do that and you have a chance of titles without beating Celtic.

stungun 100 if you did a bit of research you would know that de boer worked under a director of football whilst at Ajax The D. O. f at Ajax is Marc Overmars. Most European Clubs used this structure.

This is what happened:

Warburtons agent approached Forrest. Warburton is highly thought of in England. Warburton had not spoken to King in over a month. He knew King wanted him out and he wanted out. (Stepping stone for England, yes it is for every manager and player in the SPL) So Forest say yes we are interested but we can't afford compensation.

Agent goes to Rangers and asks, if Warburton leaves for another job can both sides walk away from the contract. Warburton had 2 years remaining so if Rangers sacked him it costs 2 years money. The board said yes why not. Rangers are happy as no pay off. Forest happy no compensation.

Agent went to Forest said Warburton would come but he wanted to bring his back room staff. Forest then had to pay off the contracts of their backroom staff so they said leave it till summer and we will talk again. Forest are also skint.

Agent goes back to the board, Rangers think, no we are happy with the agreement and without telling the agent, they announce the dismissal on grounds that he resigned. There was no signed resignation.

It was agreed by Rangers that they would let him go. So now it's up to the lawyers if that request counts as resignation. You can resign verbally, you can be sacked verbally. Paper work can follow. The question is, if the above scenario is a resignation or not. Over to the lawyers. It's not cut and dried on any side.
