Frankie 8,200 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Ach, remember Boyd appoints an agent to act on his behalf and since negotiations are at an early stage it isn't beyond the realms of doubt that his agent hasn't kept him appraised of recent developments. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you're right but I wasn't meaning bs from any particular direction, just that there always seems to be contention about everything. While some of it is intentionally introduced, it would be nice once in a while if the likes of Bain, the player and the agent could agree that this is going to be announced so that these daft chaos stories could be prevented. Mind you that would amount to PR and we don't seem to do that. I don't know whether this was spun yesterday to deflect criticism but it's a hell of an opportunity for good news - that your negotiating contracts with your top striker - to leave room for this to fall apart within 24 hrs isn't clever. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,200 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yep, don't disagree with that. To be honest, I'd have though announcing a new contract for Boyd would be the perfect Xmas present for most fans but the fact we're still quite a way from that is somewhat disconcerting. This new strategy of relying on people's loyalty (be it the manager, the coach, the players or the fans) is unacceptable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You're joking yeah? Why would he be joking ? It wouldn't be the first or will it be the last time that a club will start negotiations with a player's agent prior to the player's knoweldge. After all, what is the agent being paid for if the club go directly to the player to discuss contract negotiations ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If Boyd was being offered a new contract by Rangers his agent would immediately update him. We aren't a complete club of jokers. Come on, any top flight footballer these days will be getting constant updates by agents at the slightest sign of a change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reasonable to think that the agent has not informed him though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
