Warburton denies any contact with Fulham
Rangers managerial target Mark
Warburton has today confirmed he has not spoken to Fulham about the position at
Craven Cottage, dismissing the speculation that he has as ‘disrespectful’.
The 52-year old is expected to be
announced Rangers manager in the next seven days, but the delay has muddied the
waters considerably as have these recent reports linking him with a move across
London to the
Championship outfit.
But Fulham do not have a
managerial vacancy, with Kit Symons the current incumbent, even if the
Londoners are struggling under his leadership.
Warburton said:
“I find these reports disrespectful. There’s
no truth in them whatsoever. Kit Symons has done a fantastic job at Fulham and
I’m disappointed to see these allegations. I have not spoken to Fulham at all.”
He remains the red-hot favourite
for the massive job at Ibrox, but the likes of Derek McInnes continue to stay
in the picture.
