As sure as night follows day, we will lose Ashburton/Weir to Burnley or another English Championship side if the Board continues to procrastinate. This would be a mistake on the scale of appointing the appalling McCoist/MacDowall in the first place. Warburton and Weir are our best option by a country mile, not just for their proven man management and professionalism but for their skill sets in recruitment and youth development, the very nub of our weakness on the park over the past four years. An immediate and decisive appointment would be an excellent start to King and Co's pledge of a new era of good governance and vision.

this is the most sensible point made on here for a long time it's time for the piss artists of the past go and take the piss out of another teams fans for a change, nine in a row is history ,get warburton/weir combo inNOW!!!

Good post slb! I think warburton could almost provide the coaching and director of football roles with his ideas about running a club! Dof and coach 2 wages! So would make sense to meet warburtons wage demands and prob save money?

SLB) Bang on the money mate,king and Co need to send out a message of intent and quick,as you say management teams of this undoubted quality will not be available for long,it's something new and refreshing,it would sort all manner of evils,without any scouting system to talk of MW has a vast contact list not only in England but throughout Europe, a proven track record for playing free flowing football combining experience and youth,he's already spoke of the respect he has for our great club and being flattered by the approach and that Rangers only have to make the call. Well DK you could put ten thousand on your season books with this appointment,where's the gamble he's the only standout candidate please don't let him slip from our grasp.

Exactly right and if King and co miss this opportunity coupled with their apparent reluctance to pay back Ashley's £5m it will not be a very positive and more importantly an assertive confident start we should be looking at from a good board that King and Co appeared to be when they were touting for our votes before the EGM

I hope they start to get their act together.

Warburton has been approached by West Ham to be next manager.

04 Jun 2015 19:13:13
If you think Warburton to west ham is a goer I would nip to the bookies mate he's 100/1 at d mo.

Can anyone tell me what exactly warburton has done, or won in the game, there seems to be a big sway towards him & weir, and in my humble opinion, rangers need a proven experienced manager.

04 Jun 2015 19:43:46
Jesus Christ can this warburton walk on water to! Director of football coach and manager all in one! Broxy bear and the kit man better watch out or there jobs mite be under threat! Hahaha!

what u have to ask is why was his contract not renewed whether they won promotion or not if he is as good as everyone makes him out to be

Bigwull. The Brentford chairman decided he wanted to take the club down a different route entirely, warburton disagreed with his proposed changes and they agreed to part ways at the end of the season. Simple as that really. He's personally wealthy and only wants to work in a scenario where football/training/coaching methods etc are all his domain and his alone, not dictated by a boardroom. Fair play to him and in addition his apparent desire to find the 'right job' rather than the biggest wage packet (although I'm sure it'll still be healthy) makes him even more appealing for us in my view. Search his history on Google mate, he's an interesting and strong willed character, personally I hope we get him asap.

You failed to mention he's a women as well he can multi-task, think of the money well save lol.

I think the delay in this decision is crazy - already other teams are signing up players for next season - pre season games are in 5 weeks or so, and we need a whole new team almost!!
I hope I'm wrong but I think King & co are waiting for the headline announcement the day before the EGM on the 12th - - another week gone!!

Spart7, that to me makes warburton very inexperienced, with illusions of grandeur, it's like billy Davis, he thinks he's bigger than any club he's at.

Rangers are going to lose the potentially best management duo since Advocaat and his team and for a fraction of the cost. We just lost £36million approx in revenue not being promoted so what price guaranteeing it this year. I am all for a frugal and sensible wage structure and signings limits but penny pinching on the single most important appointment at Rangers in decades seems very bad business to me.

Warburton develops youth and potential in good players he can make us millions creating a team and doing as Celtic do buy good prospects, they shine like superstars in the Diddy League SPFL is then knock them out for multi millions profit to EPL and Championship teams.

Get the forking finger out King

david king needs stop mucking about and appoint Warburton as manager latest report he or murray are not even in the country and that Warburton wages are a sticking point then king also doesn't want to pay ashley back makes you wonder what happend to all his promised millions for a top manager giving him a bit extra should not be a problem

I do feel sorry for Stuart McCall. He was brought in on a hiding to nothing inheriting what McCoist and McDowall left behind. Initially, he did seem to motivate the players and had a decent run with wins over Hearts and Hibs. However, it is down to the players ultimately and they didn't perform well in the play-offs. If he was brought in on the understanding that it was only until the end of the season then so be it. Whoever becomes our new manager will not have to cope with a bunch of useless, overrated flops. Had we won promotion would McCall have stayed on? I think probably yes.

04 Jun 2015 11:08:05
I wouldn't rule Stuart out completely for the job but whatever he does next the man can hold his head high unlike certain of his former colleagues, one of whom I'm told is planning to take almost half a million in salary in the time till his rolling contract ends in December rather than doing what Stuart did at Motherwell when he left.

Finally, well done to Gordon Strachan for asking Stuart to rejoin his Scotland management team.

Cathro or Pereira WERE choices had we got promoted

Only serious candidates now are Warburton and McInnes with Warburton almost 99% certain to be our new manager by Friday

I want Warburton regardless as him and Weir are I think the best choice by far Cathro is too big a risk at present.

Billy Davies is a joke and no chance as is McCall now he was not even a shoe in had we been promoted.

The defeat may well turn out to be the best thing to have happened to us in the last 3 years obviously not counting McCoist leaving.

Glad to see Templeton's dad stick up for his son and join in the McCoist truth tellers as I am sick of DJ and Ally pals defending tohe worst manager in history.

04 Jun 2015 08:04:38
What about McCall and McDowell as they didn't play Templeton either. Mccoist the played him quite a lot and Templeton like the others let us down.

04 Jun 2015 10:01:52
Why is Billy Davies a jokeKT?
The man's nocturnal activities have no bearing whatsoever on his managerial skills.He's not top of my list,but I wouldn't dismiss the man as a joke either.
