skygod Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Coleraine, who have signed Martin Smith on a short-term contract, are still managed by Kenny's son-in-law too. Tyson has indeed been playing for Wycombe. I took my info from a local paper which covers Charlton Athletic and which did a "Where Are They Now?" feature on him just last week.

I'd love to see him actually play a game of football just to prove he exists. Kenny must still have good contacts here, maybe someone at Killie actually saw him and rated him. I think he may have left shortly after signing as doesn’t appear in team photo or the player list on website 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Correct - Kenny was quoted when he signed as saying he wanted a greater blend of youth and experience next season. I wasn't sure which category Kayode fell into, tbh.... http://www.derrycityfc.net/player/dapo-kayode/ -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz of the 20/20 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ah right enough, I never realised he only left us at the end of last season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Has Waddington made any sort of impression at Stoke. I can’t believe he is still there. He was absolutely horrific in his very brief spell here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) One of my local clubs! I'll take a look. They have just moved into a fantastic new facility which they share with Walton Casuals. There is a 3G pitch with a "double-sided" stand, an athletics track and field events pits etc, and 3G training pitches.

It should never be forgotten. It was an experiment that failed. The idea behind it wasn't the worst but the quality of player wasn't what was required. If we were to sell Jordan Jones for decent money, would you still regard it as a failed experiment? To sign eleven free agents and make a massive profit on two of them is actually a pretty decent return. If one in five of Killie's signings over the past 20 years was sold for a net gain of several hundred thousand, we would be in a very healthy financial position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall yes I would still say it was a failed experiment. From the summer to January especially. The return on two players has the potential to be exceptional. That distracts from the flops, the up and down performances until we found real quality in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the original eleven signings, only five were free agents so the success ratio of 40% was very good. The rest were loans. The problem lay in the scatter-gun approach which continued even after the original eleven and the hit-and-miss approach was no way to run a squad. Clark didn't learn his lesson as he operated the same tactic at Bury except that, instead of free agents and loans, he was paying big fees and wages of up to £6k a week, allegedly. He presided over a shambles and was deservedly sacked. There's no reason to suppose that, had he stayed at Killie, he wouldn't have dragged us down too.

DuncanEwart Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Why do you think he adopts such an approach? Does he genuinely think it is a strategy that works? He seems to have used it wherever he has been- you would think he would have learned by now. A bit bizzare I think. I used to wonder how Clark would have got on at Killie if he had appointed his own backroom staff. He did this at Bury and it still didn't work out for him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Along with another 50 - 60 freezing, tortured souls, I watched the Combined Counties League Premier Division "clash" this afternoon between third place Walton & Hersham and fifth place Camberley Town. My mate who is on the Walton committee told me Bojaj is only on loan from Welling until xmas so I thought I'd better check him out. He also told me that he is two to three levels better than the ninth or tenth tier at which Walton play. He's scored 11 goals in his 15 appearances for the club so that might be true. He's bigger and more powerful than I'd imagined and there wasn't much doubt he was the most accomplished player on the field but he had zero impact on the match and was substituted late on. His hopes of playing for Kosovo are a long way off and he needs to show a lot more desire if he's going to even make a career in the game. Goal-less draw (it had to be really).

historyman Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Bojaj (and most of the rest of them) are now playing at the right level. The majority of them were dross, pure and simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
