PaulRFC1 115 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 KENNY MILLER hopes a Rangers takeover ends the saga about his Ibrox future and insisted: I want to STAY.The Gers striker is out of contract at the end of the season and talks over a new deal have hit a brick wall.Yesterday the 18-goal ex-Celtic hitman collapsed laughing as he posed under the sign at Gers' hotel here - the CELIK PALAS!And as he pondered Craig Whyte's proposed £33million buyout of the Ibrox side, he said: "If a takeover happens I'm sure it will be to stabilise the club rather than coming in to start throwing money about like we did before."But Miller admits it is up to prospective new owner Whyte, whether he stays or goes.He added: "It might help my situation, then again it might not."I can only answer that when it happens - IF it happens. But I've always said I'm happy at Rangers and nothing's changed."There's no doubt it's been the best two and a half years of my career. Working with the manager and the staff has been great. We've been really successful in hard times."We've won six trophies in the last three seasons since the manager came back and that's a great haul."It's also been the most turbulent time the club has seen with the debt, but I've loved it."My objective when I came back was to win the league. For me to have an easyish life here we simply had to be successful - that was really important and we did that."We have done maybe a lot better than a lot of people expected but it was a massive thing for me personally that we were successful."When I returned Celtic had won three in a row and playing a part in winning the league back was top of the agenda."There was probably no better way to do that than winning it on the last day - much as we enjoyed winning it with games to spare last season - it was a fantastic way to win the league."Had things not gone to plan on the field it might have gone against me because of the opposition to me coming back."But the team is successful and that's gone a long way to helping the fans accept me again."Miller - who has scored 19 goals all-in this season - could be a transfer target during the January window.He shrugged: "I'm sure every player's phone rings at some point to ask if you fancy this or that."There are a lot of panic buttons being pressed when it gets towards the end of a transfer window. Right now there is nothing for me to worry about."Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3263542/Buy-out-Rangers-keep-me.html#ixzz17NrY1pW3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,332 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I just hope we sign him up for another few years quick, can't wait to see him and Jelavic playing up front together soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkgers 3 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Good news, hopefully he'l sign the contract once back from Turkey then rather than waiting to see if new owners offer him more money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,686 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Brilliant, but he'd be stpid to want to leave and Boyd has proven that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doonald 229 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Miller should accept a reasonable 3/4 year contract and enjoy his last years as a hero with the Gers. If he does not sign an extension, sell him as an asset in January and bring in another, younger striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Heard it all before.I won't be convinced about what he 'wants' to do until he signs on the dotted line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I really shake my head at these fucking "Scoops"...The fuckwit writing that goes out of his way to label Kenny Miller an "EX-Celtic HITMAN"...for fuck sake; No wonder the country has so many problems with the way the media ramp up the Rangers-Celtic divide.Why not say he was an "Ex Hibs striker" or an "Ex Rangers striker" etc!Thank fuck I moved away from all that shit many many years ago.Kenny Miller never wanted to leave Rangers in 2001= Fact.Kenny Miller is a Hibs fan= FactKenny Miller will go/ stay to the club that offers him the contract that best suits Kenny Miller....not Rangers or any other club=Fact Talk about making my head nip!

If he does not sign an extension, sell him as an asset in January and bring in another, younger striker.Im not fussed if he leaves, id rather he left than was given a good wage rise and a 3 year deal, but i would rather lose him for free in the summer than take £1m for him now, providing he still gave his all in his remaining 6 months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 21 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Well surely if he wants to stay the contract negotiations would be fairly simple. Just sign the bloody contract Miller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Don't know the truth in this or not as we hear different rumors day in day out, it's possible it's not really the wages that are an issue as he is fully aware of the restraints that the club are under regarding wages, but it's more to do with the length of contract being offered.

KERRZO 5 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 To be fair I don't know if I would signa new deal until I knew where the long term future of the club lies. Plus he has reportedly bn offered less terms than what he is on just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 1,744 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Kenny has earned a new contract and deserves to be paid well for his services. Obviously the amount will differ between the player and our money men. I don't think Kenny will be to unreasonable as he knows fine well the restraints we are working under. If/when the takeover happens I hope Craig Whyte sorts this out straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 He's been in talks 2 or 3 times. The club clearly won't meet his demands.Are they unreasonable? Depends what they are. Personally I don't think he'll sign and do a Boyd on us. This is carbon copy of the crap Boyd came out with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
