THE club insist he is staying, the pre s insist he is leaving, and the player himself is being kept in the dark over his next career move. So, just what is the next move for Rangers striker Kris Boyd?Speculation continues to intensify suggesting a summer move to Coca-Cola Championship North East giants Middlesbrough or Newcastle United, when Boyds contract at Ibrox expires in June.Will Boyd be celebrating a move south of the border next year?Boyd, who was on the verge of a move to Cliff Pennington Jersey Birmingham City before failing to agree personal terms earlier this year, will be free to speak with any prospective new employers on New Years Day. The striker, who is currently sidelined with a thigh strain, is just seven goals short of Henrik Lar sons Scottish Premier League record of 158 goals and Alex McLeish, the current Birmingham manager and the man who bought Boyd to Glasgow three years Glenn Hubbard Jersey ago, is also thought to be monitoring his situation.The likelihood of Boyds exit from the Scottish giants has been accelerated after the magnitude of their financial problems became clear. The club are currently up for sale, carry a debt of 31m, and management team Walter Smith and Ally McCoist have offered to work without contracts in the new year. Extraordinarily, a club the size of Rangers can no longer match the wages on offer from clubs in the second tier of English football.For Gers Robbie Grossman Jersey fans, this situation will be nothing new. They experienced a similar scenario when Alan Huttons protracted transfer to England hit numerous snags with the player twice rejected the chance to join Tottenham Hotspur, instead holding out for a move to Manchester United. He eventually changed his mind, and arrived at White Hart Lane for a fee in the region of 9million.Hutton: 9m move to TottenhamThe latest transfer farce to engulf Ibrox has been exaggerated by conflicting claims from the club, who insist that Boyd has been offered a new deal, and the player, who knows nothing of any contract discu sions.Martin Bain, Rangers chief executive, said: It has been a difficult time for the club in the last few months and there wasnt the time to sit down with players representatives and have properly-informed discu sions.However, I am now in the position to negotiate Terry Steinbach Jersey and discu s players contracts.In particular with Kris Boyd, I spoke to his representative and I am aware of what Kris sees as acceptable as a contract. I have digested that and Im in the proce s of continuing with discu sions, but it has only happened recently.When asked how advanced the negotiations were, Boyd replied: Its the first I heard about it, so I dont know.At 26 years of age, Boyd is approaching the peak of his career with an envious goalscoring record behind him 63 goals in 153 games for Kilmarnock, and 88 in 125 to date for Rangers he undoubtedly knows how to find the back of the net. However, will he find the Championship or the English Premier League as easy as he does the SPL? Rickey Henderson Jersey Only time will tell.
