Mark Warburton asserts that he was dismissed from Rangers and didn’t resign, despite the club’s claim of accepting the management team’s resignation.
He learned about his departure through a Sky Sports ticker during a Friday night game. Warburton denies planning the move to Nottingham Forest, stating it resulted from an unexpected phone call 10 days after leaving Rangers.
He emphasizes that survival was the goal at Forest, successfully achieved by securing Championship status on the last day of the season.
Warburton, having managed Brentford and QPR since, is currently without a coaching role after leaving West Ham at the end of the season.
