If there was no substance to it or it was hacked then you'd expect them to have a statement out pronto to correct the situation. They'll surely say something shortly.

This compensation amount was agreed when Rangers significantly improved Mr Warburton and Mr Weir's financial arrangements before the start of this season. What on earth had they done to earn improved terms? Surely winning the 2nd tier was the absolute minimum that was expected last season.

Maq Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Aye, on Twitter folk are saying he accepted the Forest job (only club in the UK as dysfunctional as rangers!) and resigned, only for Forest to change their mind- he tried to withdraw his resignation, but the club/company refused!

Surely it's "Rangers have" "Rangers" is a single entity so saying "Rangers has accepted..." whilst founding slightly strange is in fact correct. The club should technically be referred to as "it" rather than "them" or "they". Edited February 10, 2017 by DaveyDenoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Hate to interfere, but "Rangers has ..." is neither right nor wrong. In theory it depends on the perspective of the person using the phrase (they may be seeing it as a single entity, or they may be seeing it as the parts that make up that entity). In British English, we're slightly more likely to use the plural ("Celtic have announced ..."; "Rovers have collapsed ..."). In American English they tend to use the singular. Edit: And as if to prove my point, a quick googling reveals that "Rangers have" appears 495,000 times while "Rangers has" only makes 132,000.

"Rangers HAVE been expelled from the league and THEY HAVE seen a new company operating the same club elected to the Third Division." OR "Rangers HAS been expelled from the league and IT HAS seen a new company operating the same club elected to the Third Division'. Surely the first one sounds better?
