Rule Britannia GSTQ 1 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I would happily take kenny back but at a reasonable price, he's a much better option than beattie, diouf and healy and his experience can be of benefit for any young strikers we may sign. Kenny always gave 100% when putting on the famous blue jersey and if he came back Im sure it would be no different. Bring him home ally! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
debear 603 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 He was asked to take a £3000 a week paycut from 17 to 14 grand a week. This is common knowledge as its how the £14,000 a week salary cap became public knowledgeLee McCulloch was offered the exact same and signed itLee McCulloch wasn't being offered 50k a week elsewhere.His choice was made substantially easier by it being the only one on the table.Anyway, I don't think signing guys of his age with no resale is the way forward.And thats before we look at things off the pitch.

Jocky Broon 207 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have never been a great fan of Kenny Miller.Nothing to do with him signing for the dhims.Purely on a football basis but he certainly proved me wrong in his second spell.If he wanted back I would take him with open arms.

Mark. 69 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 He might be set for life but no matter how set you are, you would have to be mental to turn down a contract worth £5 million after tax for one worth £600k after tax. If you are on here trying to kid on you would do it, then i would suggest you are talking total bull Some people are motivated by things other than money.Also, if you do accept to be a mercenary and sign a contract elsewhere (and choose to disrupt the lives of your wife and children for your own greed), at least be a man about it and stick with your decision.

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Also, if you do accept to be a mercenary and sign a contract elsewhere (and choose to disrupt the lives of your wife and children for your own greed), at least be a man about it and stick with your decision.I dont disagree with your paragraph above, but it still stands that given the choice of earning 10 times as much, irrespective of your wealth, the likelihood is you are going to give it a go.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 So we take him back and after 6 months or 1 year when he has been banging in the goals an EPL side for example wants to double his wage...what then?We all know what would happen..he would jump ship and sign for the other team. He has done it his entire career.Judas cnut and i wouldn't want him anywhere near Ibrox.However he is a favourite of McCoist and if this is true then i fully expect Rangers to try and bring him back on a 2 year deal.

BILL.I.AM 18 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Right, no point saying my opinion on the subject as i'm sure you all know by now. But just in general this pish about football players 'having a family to provide for' and 'you would have done the same in your job' is exactly that, pish. In this instance, the player has been around since he was about 17, been at both Rangers and the scum, a Premiership team (or 2, was he not at Wolves?), and has been on 50k p/w for the last 4 months. The man, like most professional footballers at this level, is a millionaire and has been for some time. He is set for life, and with the amount of money he's earning, his children most likely are too. So money doesn't come in to it in terms of needing to move on to keep your family going. So, can please put all this stuff to bed about money worries and how any of us would have done the same, these people are over-paid footballers, not labourers on minimum wage.What a load of absolute pish How can u say he shouldn't want to earn as much money as possible to live the rest of his life comfortably with his wife and make sure his kids are well looked after throughout their lives? He may well have a couple million in the bank, I don't know what he has earned or spent throughout his career, but he could have 30-40 years to live after football.

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We'll eb struggling to find 11 footballers to put on the field if they have to live up to ideals that are so far out of date. football has moved on and we all need to move with it.Kenny and Jelavic would be an outstanding partnership IMO, they would cause havoc in the SPL....that's what is actually important here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 take him back IMO, all football players are mercenaries these days, they go anywhere for the money. Miller giving service to Jelavic would make us unstoppable in the league and allow us a good crack at Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,545 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 while i am thankful for his service to our club in the last 2.5 seasons, the fact is he is getting on,we will offer him a 2 year deal, then what, he retires or goes to some lower club, so in 2 years time we need to find ANOTHER partner for jelavic (if he's still here)i would rather the money was spent on a younger player that has potential resale value, we buy miller now then thats it, we wont get a penny for him again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alongside Jelavic, I honestly think they two could win the league for us within six months if the defence shows up next year.But I'd rather go for Goodwillie.
