Wija 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 More than likely not true, but at the end of the day why should he accept something less than he has already? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 What he has runs out in the summer. After that he's on the dole. Whatever he's being offered is going to be greater than that. So basically it depends what he can earn elsewhere and how much he wants to play for Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I dont think there is too much doubt that he could get paid more elsewhere, or at least the same. Plus, as he will be out of contract, he will have a reasonably sizeable signing-on fee. I don't think he would be on the dole for very long. I think he wants to stay though so will be interesting how much Rangers try to play on that loyalty 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,430 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 KRIS BOYD has thrown down the gauntlet in an amazing challenge to the critics who've savaged him. The Rangers star turned on his tormentors last night as his patience finally snapped in the wake of yet more personal attacks. Boyd has had his fill of what he sees as over-the-top abuse - and has challenged the critics who are caning him to take him for a coaching session at Murray Park. CRITICISM ... Mark Hateley CRITICISM ... Mark Hateley The Ibrox No 9 said: "Instead of writing their columns or going on the radio and mouthing off, why don't they come in to Murray Park and show me themselves what I'm supposed to be doing wrong? "Failing that they could get my mobile number and give me a ring. "But I'd much prefer it if they came in and showed me themselves. "They could take us all for a coaching session - that would help us instead of them taking digs all the time. "We've got some very good coaches at Ibrox, but there are some out there who clearly believe they can do better. "So why don't they come in and show us? "If they care about the club as much as they say they do they should be coming in and giving us an hour of their valuable time. STICK ... Derek Johnstone STICK ... Derek Johnstone "If it makes me a better player then I'm all for it." Stick from the likes of Derek Johnstone, Mark Hateley and Charlie Nicholas has stung Boyd the most. He blasted: "You're always a better player when you've finished the game and hung up your boots. "I have been criticised since I joined Rangers, it's nothing new to me and it doesn't affect me any more. "I score goals and if I'm not then fine, criticise me. But it has gone too far. "Every time there is a Scotland game on I've got to sit and watch the TV and there's a guy there who will say I should have done this or I should have done that. "At the end of the day, I've scored more goals for my country than him. "Just because he may not like me he feels the need to have a go. Just move on mate." Three games without a goal between them in the SPL had put Boyd and strike partner Kenny Miller in the firing line ahead of Sunday's Old Firm showdown. ABUSE ... Charlie Nicholas ABUSE ... Charlie Nicholas Their response was emphatic as the pair combined to blast Rangers to victory. Yet Boyd confessed: "If you are a striker and you're not scoring then you are going to be disappointed. "I've not been happy with the start I've made to the season. But at the same time some of the criticism has been over the top. "It goes with the territory when you're at the Old Firm, but with some people it gets personal. "You sit and read the papers and you listen to what they are saying, some of them hardly even played the game. "Kenny Miller and I were laughing on Saturday. One guy, who never got out of the First Division as far as I am aware, basically said Kenny and I weren't up to the job. "Sunday was the perfect response as far as we were concerned. "It's one thing when ex-players have a go, but when others who've never even played the game start then you just have to laugh. "They'd be as well going for a cup of tea with their missus."

"Against Celtic I was feeling better and hopefully I can build on that. But I know at the end of the day I will be judged on the goals I score. "I wear the No 9 on the back of my jersey and I play for Rangers. "That brings it's own pressure, but I know I will soon be back scoring goals. "The goals are never very far away and I will turn this around." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,430 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 KRIS BOYD insisted last night he never wants to leave Rangers. But with the cash-strapped Ibrox club poised to deliver a crushing contract blow, the fans' favourite knows he might have to. SunSport revealed yesterday that Rangers have started the ball rolling on a new deal for the 26-year-old striker. But it's emerged Boyd will be forced to take a whopping drop in wages if he is to stay with his boyhood heroes. TALKS ... Walter Smith TALKS ... Walter Smith He wants a pay deal in line with other regulars in Walter Smith's first team. The former Scotland star is paid less than frontline team mates Kyle Lafferty and Kenny Miller - despite being the club's top goalscorer for the last three years. Now Boyd - who is free to talk to other clubs in January - could be forced out of Ibrox unless Gers bosses up the ante. Boyd told SunSport: "Everybody knows my feeling towards Rangers. "Everybody knows I love playing for and scoring goals for this club. "If I had my way, I wouldn't ever want to leave Rangers but it's not up to me. "It is down to the club and we'll need to wait and see what they say. I just want to concentrate on doing my best for Rangers until the end of the season and then whatever happens happens. "As far as I am aware they haven't even spoken to my agent. But they have his number so they know what they have to do. "I don't want to get involved in any contract talk through the papers because I've seen how it has affected other players in the past. "I'm not prepared to go down that road, my agent will deal with it." Boyd was taken to hospital following a clash of heads with Celtic's Landry N'Guemo in Sunday's Old Firm game.

He revealed: "I have a fracture in my eye socket and when I blew my nose it opened up again and that allowed some air to penetrate. "That said, it's a lot better today than what it was yesterday. "I will have a clearer idea of where I stand in the morning. "But it feels all right so that has given me hope that it's not as bad as I first thought." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, i'd happily go in and use my "expertise" to help Boyd with his training. A bit of speed and agility training for an hour or two out of my week. Nae bother. Only problem is I don't have his mobile number so can't ring up to make my once in a lifetime offer. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) McCoist on SSN said they want to keep him and confident he will stay. He also said he knows he's not had the best start but he has scored goals and they will work hard with him. Read this on another forum.
