da marjack bet： The saga of Mark Warburton’s management at Rangers reached a dramatic climax on Friday night after a series of bizarre developments made it clear he would no longer be the man to take the Ibrox side forward.
da 888： The club themselves started it all off by announcing that they’d accepted the resignation of the management team at Rangers.
However, that was soon refuted in media reports afterwards, with Mark Warburton himself telling BBC reporters that he was unaware of the Rangers statement regarding his resignation. As you can imagine it prompted much speculation about what was actually happening, from hacked websites to disgruntled employees.
What actually happened?
It soon became apparent that Warburton had in fact left his post after a week of behind the scenes drama involving resignations, cancelled resignations and a vacant manager position at Nottingham Forest.
As reported by The Telegraph, Warburton’s representative Dave Lockwood had indeed asked the club to release the management team from their contracts on Tuesday, during a period when Warburton was linked heavily to the Forest job.
After the Rangers board accepted this request on Wednesday, Lockwood then approached the Rangers hierarchy on Thursday night hoping that Warburton and his management team could keep their positions at Ibrox, according to the paper.
Meanwhile Nottingham Forest announced Gary Brazil would be the man to take the Championship club forward.
The Telegraph says that the Rangers board then convened again on Friday but decided there should be no change in their initial decision to accept Warburton’s resignation.
It all means that Rangers are without a manager and are now seeking to fill the post.
How have fans reacted?
As you can imagine, the circumstances here meant that there was a significant fan reaction to this news, both from Rangers supporters and the wider Scottish football community.
Warburton wasn’t the most popular man around Ibrox in recent weeks after a series of poor results left Gers fans wondering whether he was the right man to take their team forward.
Whether his departure is a positive remains to be seen. The next appointment at Ibrox is a massive one for the club.
