Bobby83 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 He wont sign anything til the end of the month, he'll wait and see what other offers come in for him and try to get the best offer out of Rangers that he possibly can. The most likely scenario, Dont bet on him signing on at Ibrox though as he will get offers far in excess of what we can afford He'll probably get better financial offers but might not want to leave Rangers, he's probably already decided to stay but im sure his agent will use other offers to barter for a better deal than the reported 18k a week offered. Exactly. He will definately stay. But in a week or two we will give him a slightly improved offer to justify the stay to his agent. Only a couple of grand more though.

sillybilly 151 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Is my understanding of the situation correct... If Boyd doesnt sign he's completely fcuked us over as he'll leave on a free. this will definetly not happen. if boyd were to leave he would make sure that rangers got something for him. look at what he did when he left killie for us, he donated his signing on fee to youth development at rugby park on top of the fee kilmarnock got from rangers. he knows rangers have been good to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biotechnology 2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 If he stays at Gers its for the club-not the money-& if it is for the money-He will be offski. He could earn £50000 a week elsewhere Whos in for him that would give him that a week? It will be the difference of 5 grand max. Hence he will definately stay on. You are wrong Bobby83! If he exercises his right to leave on a Bosman-with no fee-he can be expected to double any offers currently on the table & if its true £23000 from Middlesborough you can see where its going.

radlord 24 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I can't see anyone paying Boyd £50,000 a week. Maybe after a couple of years he could be on that but surely not at the start of his contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Exclusive by Thomas Jordan Published on 12 Jan 2010 Kris Boyd is on the verge of committing his future to Rangers. SportTimes understands that the striker – who was in Manchester this morning for double hernia surgery that could rule him out for up to six weeks – has decided to accept the new £18,000 a week contract offer tabled by the Ibrox club last week. The SPL’s record goalscorer has been weighing up his options over the past few days, with Middlesbrough and Birmingham City still hovering with lucrative offers to sign him this month. But Boyd, who is now into the final six months of his Gers deal, is expected to notify the Ibrox club before the end of this week of his intention to sign the new contract. Apart from an approach from Boro boss Gordon Strachan, asking for permission to speak to the striker, Rangers have had no other concrete interest in the 26-year-old. Gers’ chief executive Martin Bain held talks with the player’s agent at the end of last week and offered to bring him into line with the top earners at the club. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor...ntract-1.998054 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef 436 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 just saw this on their site For 12 months, the picture has been painted of a club laid bare. A world-famous institution where every meagre pound has become a prisoner. Fed-up Rangers fans haven’t sniffed an A-list signing for a year and a half. And Ibrox manager Walter Smith has claimed the men in suits from Lloyds Banking Group have tightened their fingers round the purse strings in a bid to ease debts totalling £31million. The only light to pierce the gloom has been the form of Kris Boyd, whose goals have made him the hero of the Ibrox terracings – and helped Rangers open up a seven- point gap over Celtic in the SPL title race. But now even Boyd’s Rangers future has been thrown back into the financial melting pot. For we can exclusively reveal today the £18,000-a-week deal Boyd is keen to sign has still to be agreed by the club’s financial controllers. That means the bid to keep the SPL’s record goalscorer at his boyhood idols could yet be scuppered. Chief executive Martin Bain met Boyd’s representative at the end of last week and extended an offer which would bring the 26-year-old into line with the top earners at Ibrox and out of the clutches of English raiders. Smith has urged Bain to do everything possible in his power to keep the player, who yesterday underwent a double hernia operation in Manchester, at the club. However, the terms on offer have not been given the green light by certain individuals on the board. And it now remains to be seen whether the offer will stand if, as expected, Boyd confirms he wants to put pen to paper on the deal. Business turnaround specialist Donald Muir, who was appointed in October with a remit to remedy the financial fortunes of the Scottish champions, has been handed the task of trying to reduce the club’s debts. Cost-cutting measures have bitten so deep that, it is understood, even the number of groundstaff at Ibrox and Murray Park was looked at before Christmas. When this was raised as a possible area to save cash, the idea was met with swift resistance from the football operation who realise the groundstaff’s crucial role. This time last year, it emerged the club might be forced to sell a leading player to help ease the financial burden. Owner and majority shareholder Sir David Murray stepped down as chairman in August and was replaced by Alastair Johnston who has spent the last three months trying to find a new owner. The financial crisis that has engulfed Rangers came to a head shortly after Muir’s appointment to the board when Smith claimed after a home match against Hibs the bank were running the club. This was denied by the bank, much to Smith’s fury. Lloyds have consistently denied Muir is their man and insist he is a paid employee of the Murray Group, and was not placed on Rangers board at their behest. But, as we exclusively revealed in October two days after Smith’s startling statement, the bank threatened Rangers with administration if the club didn’t sign up for a business plan based upon swingeing cuts, many of which will only take full effect in the summer if a new buyer is not found. And it is the architects of this plan – the same plan that has frozen Rangers’ spending for three transfer windows – who hold the key to Boyd’s Ibrox future. The pressure was only slightly lifted when the loan move for PSG’s Jerome Rothen was signed off. Rangers, however, are only picking up part of his wages and that deal will be torn up if the Frenchman can fix up another club for the rest of the season. But this is the first time the cash cuts could hold the key to whether a player is offered a new contract. Boyd is the first player to be offered a new deal since Muir was appointed to the board. Other players, such as Nacho Novo and Kirk Broadfoot, are nearing the end of their current deals, but the sums involved to keep them are not even close to the Boyd figures. Novo is believed to be on around £5000 a week, with Broadfoot on £3000 a week. Neither is likely to stay if their offers don’t show a decent increase, but it’s believed the current business plan does not have much flexibility. But Boyd, who will be in line for a £8,000-a-week increase, has sparked a major stand-off as the offer made to him could force the bank to honour a deal that they would prefer not to – or face the wrath of the club’s support, sections of which have already threatened to boycott Lloyds Banking Group services. Questions that remain unanswered Comment by Thomas Jordan It used to be as straightforward as the manager inviting the player into his office, telling him what he would be earning and waving him on his way. That was the way new contracts and transfers were conducted in the past. Nowadays, agents and chief executives are involved. It is a far more complex business now than it was then. But even by present-day standards, the background to Kris Boyd’s contract negotiations with Rangers could take things to a new level entirely. On the instruction of Rangers manager Walter Smith, the club’s chief executive Martin Bain met with the striker’s representative at the end of last week and tabled a new contract offer in a bid to retain the services of their leading goalscorer. Normally, that would have been the end of the matter. The player would either say he was taking them up on their offer or reject it in favour of an opportunity elsewhere. There would usually be some room for negotiation. But SportTimes’ revelation that the Lloyds Banking Group are yet to approve the new deal and will have the final say on whether it will go through or not brings a host of questions Rangers fans will want answered as the true extent of the bank’s role is revealed. * Once again, on a point that has never been satisfactorily answered, they want to know who really is calling the shots at Rangers? * Why have the bank said they are not running Rangers when they have approval on contracts? * The man appointed to the board by the Murray Group in October, Donald Muir, has said he has no influence on football matters. Does he still maintain that is the case? * When will the chairman Alastair Johnston tell everyone what is really happening within the constraints of a business plan that he himself has said is not good for the club? * What would the consequences have been had the Rangers board NOT agreed to the bank’s business plans? * And what exactly will happen in the summer when the full extent of the financial cuts are expected to be implemented if a new buyer is not found? These are questions the Rangers supporters would like answered. And it is probably the same for Walter Smith. How many managers would be willing to work for a club without any sort of contract in place? It would be unlikely many, if any at all, would agree to such a situation. But the Rangers manager appears to be on a mission to do everything within his power to save the club. When Smith came out and publicly announced the bank were running the club, it was immediately denied. He is now fighting tooth and nail, it would seem, to prevent his current squad of players from being ripped apart. By managing to win the SPL title last season, the Rangers manager secured some much- needed funds for the cash-strapped club. His team are now seven points clear in the title race again, despite the fact they squad is basically down to the bare bones. But at what point will he decide enough is enough? At what point will he decide he is fighting a losing battle against the moneymen? That, without doubt, is something that really would bring this situation to a head.

Frankie 505 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Even these shady money-men (or not so shady if you buy Jordan's innuendo about Muir) would surely acknowledge Boyd's value to the club and is worth a new contract. Sanctioning this contract would increase his value, increase confidence amongst the support and increase our chances of winning the SPL. Not doing so would only bring the opposite which is no good for anyone - least of all Lloyds Bank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
