Hopefully that'll be the case , it's just to lose one of his targets , and now fart about with the other , you're never too sure. Which would to me at least add more weight to the suggestion he's been backed by the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not a Boyd fan but he said nothing wrong. The board made plenty of promises they havent kept. And why would Boyd speak in favour of them after they had a dig at him? Some fans need to realise that not all of us love DK unconditionally like they do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy as well Dunno, there's plenty on here over the last few years who have said they wouldn't go to Rangers as a young player, or send their kid, so it's maybe not that crazy that a Rangers fan in the early stages of their career would choose to try their luck elsewhere first.

Previous boards not spending transfer fees never seemed an issue for many. Now it's Rangers men on the board it's all "spend, spend, spend" from them.

Big Al 55 9,275 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Don't talk pish FFS, why the desperation to criticise all things Rangers on here, it's utterly bizarre.

If the board don't back MW as they have promised him then he will be off and he'll be quite right. If they don't. But, they have. MW has stated he is delighted with their backing, unless we think he's being less than sincere. If MW gets offered the Spurs job next week he'll be off, not really worth discussing right now though IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger77 742 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He had his chance and mucked it up. Would rather he concentrated on his own club. Nice weave though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR1979 1,964 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't agree with him, we should only spend if it's a good edition to the squad not because an ex player says we should buy right now.I also think that Boyd's comments are motivated more by the way he left and a bit of bitterness towards DK for his comments during the summer. His attitude is a major reason he is no longer at the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be happy if this board gave out large wages to free transfers and spent nothing in transfers fees? I think this place would go into meltdown if that was the case. Also we have no idea how much our first team wage bill is this season. We do know we are spending money on transfer fees for the first time in 3 years though.

Aye right enough theres not many young football players would turn down their boyhood heroes ask Andy Halliday he might enlighten you. 8 minutes ago, The Dude said: 2 years at 2 different clubs? Meh. Works for me. Seemed to work for him too. 355 goals isnae too bad. Might work for you but the point is I don't think there is any Rangers fan who is playing football and got the chance to play for their boyhood heroes would turn them down regardless.Could be wrong but maybe you should ask Andy Halliday if he had any second thoughts or you could go further back and ask guys like Alex MacDonald perhaps who I believe made the same start as Ally seemed to work out not to bad for him as well right enough.

My point was in defence of Boyd, if the board do not provide the backing they promised he will be off! Is that not basically what Boyd said?

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Don't see what Boyd said that's wrong. I trust Warburton to get value for money for the club if we get to the end of the transfer window without any more signings then questions have to be asked what went wrong. Not that I expect any answers but just for once I hope the board surprise us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
