BOBTHEBRUCE Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What a job he's done with Kilmarnock and it only took him 2 years. No 5 year plan needed. I think we can all say that he's the right man for the Scotland job. Exciting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he will be pushed by the SFA to do anything he doesn’t want to or players selected he isn’t comfortable with. I think he will be able to take lesser players and make a better team.

shaun.lawson Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Superb achievement to have led Killie to 3rd. That's their highest league finish in 53 years.

Jambof3tornado Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Comparing what another manager has done is fair enough but I want Levein to move into academy director role. As for Clarke I'm glad he is willing to try the national job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're underhand dig deserves a response. Clarke has done brilliant, best manager in the league in his time here. Done better than Levein, Mcinnes, Wright, Gerrard and even possibly Rogers to name a few. However, He's qualified for Europe. If we win the cup CL would have triumphed his achievements but in less time. Think that one over. I'd hold fire on your digs at CL, a cup win next week and a lot of folk will have looked very stupid over the past year.

One of my first ever reasonable level games was v Killie and at that level they were really struggling as a knock on of how bad the clubs position was at the time.

Compared to us at the minute, Cove Rangers play that way. If, over a course of a season you can honestly say that Hibs & Kilmarnock play that way week in, week out...sorry mate. I get the frustration, honestly. But nah! Clarke should be the right choice finally for Scotland. Let's hope so. But they have an identity, that’s probably more what I should’ve said or was trying to say. We have no style, no clear philosophy of how we want to play the game. That would look good on a plane eh “no style, no philosophy”. Anyone got a number for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league results need to improve, everyone agrees. Playing one up front has nothing to do with anything tho. Man City play one up front for example. Statements about 1 up front really show folk up. Playground stuff. I think even Killie play one up front as do rangers and celtic? Anyway, well done Clarke and killie, to finish above Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs is an achievement.

Its worth remembering that SC is an Ayrshire man and passionate about his local team. He is Killie's equivalent to our own Jim Jeffries. I'm pleased for Killie. Its great to see they now have an owner who will support his manager and risked losing money by cutting Rangers allocation in order to give his team that vital edge . They deserve to be rewarded with some attractive European matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
