ian1964 10,416 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 KRIS BOYD will turn his back on a mega-bucks Premiership move to STAY at Rangers - provided the SPL champions pay him �£20,000-a-week. Sport of the World can reveal Boyd will reject massive offers from Birmingham and Middlesbrough to sign a new contract at Ibrox. However to make the deal happen Gers chief executive Martin Bain will have to find another �£2,000-a-week, after offering goal machine Boyd, right, �£18,000-a-week to stay. That would mean a �£1million per year deal for Boyd - yet that's significantly less than is already on the table down South. As we exclusively revealed last week, Boro boss Strachan wanted Boyd to team up with Celtic's Scott McDonald at the Riverside and was prepared to offer the SPL's record scorer �£25,000-a- week to move to the Championship. Yet even that �£1.25m deal was dwarfed by Alex McLeish who has offered Boyd an incentive-based deal worth more than �£1.5m-a-year to join him in the Premiership with Birmingham. That would net Boyd a cool �£30,000-a-week if he hits his targets and is way more than he is asking from Rangers. However the 26-year-old believes he is currently in the form of his life and if Rangers can raise the bar to offer him a �£1m-a-year contract he would be happy to sign on for the next four years with his boyhood heroes. It remains to be seen if cash-strapped Gers can cough up the extra money too keep Boyd which amounts to more than �£100,000-a-year on top of their original offer. But having come this close to fighting off Boro and Birmingham, Gers may go the extra mile to tie their man up on a new long-term deal rather than risk losing him for nothing this summer. Meanwhile, Lee McCulloch urged Boyd to think carefully before being tempted to quit Ibrox. McCulloch said: "For Kris it's a choice of money or trophies. Any player wants to win things and his chances of doing that elsewhere obviously depends on where he goes. "What I do know is if he stays here he's going to be worshipped even more by the Rangers fans and will be playing for a fantastic club that's going to be challenging to win things every season. "But it's up to the club to do everything they can to keep him. "That should be their priority because when you have someone scoring that amount of goals every season and playing as well as Kris is just now, he becomes one of the most important players in the squad. "Everyone's fingers are crossed in the dressing room they can come to some sort of deal. "I don't know what he is thinking, but I just hope he stays and I know all the other players feel the same way. "It's up to the club to meet his demands, as long as he is not being greedy, and get the contract signed - because he proves every year that he is the best in Scotland at scoring goals." http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scottish/scottish_sport/668984/Kris-Boyd-is-set-to-snub-the-Premiership-and-sign-on-at-Ibrox.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

porno_piper 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Great idea. If Kylie doesn't like the idea then sell him. Sell him anyway... I always thought, give the guy some time, playing in his preffered position... He done that today and was still shite. Get rid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because he hasn't got a best position, his best position would be at some other club rippin the pish. :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
