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.

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.

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.

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.

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
