Even if Boyd does not go to Birmingham, it has alerted other English clubs as to what price and salary it will take to tempt him south of the Border.
If Rangers are in such dire straits, then selling their talisman for £3 million - rising to 4 possibly with 20% going to Killie (only reducing 12k a week off the wage bill) is hardly going to remedy matters!!
Why doesn't Murray get rid of the deadwood at white collar level to reduce wages if he cannot offload firnge players. Also sell Ferguson, McGregor and Bougherra. As previously stated there is ample cover for Ferguson, Webster or Berra could be brought in to replace Bougherra and Neil Alexander is more than capable of filling McGregors boots. Those sales should and I re-iterate
should provide 13-15 million. Whether that figure can be realised is another thing.
As is obvious I totally oppose the sale of Boyd, although I am now resigned to losing him aswell as the league.
I heard Lovenkrands is a free agent and was seen at Glasgow Airport today?
Wouldn't be a bad siging if played in the correct position by Smith and not wide left. Also rumours that Boyd may yet go to Sunderland and David Healy coming to Ibrox as a makeweight.
I would normally say interesting times ahead, but on this occassion, it's worrying times!!!
