piffer Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Was wondering about his choice of assistant. Does he have a guy he’s taken to other clubs with him? Would he bring his own man from down south or someone experienced in the SPFL. Would there be room in the budget for both. Plenty of candidates out there and for the right offer some of the bookies candidates for the job would probably take it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Head Coach at WBA from what I saw on Wikipedia. Could be KFC's first Head Coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetfitter Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 My hopes have now been massively raised. What a fantastic appointment this would be. Seriously hope we don't end up with Gus, Jimmy Mac, Danny Lennon or anyone else from the Scottish manager re-use re-cycle scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie_Damo Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 He had 2 assistants at WBA (Kevin Keen - now coach at Crystal Palace and Keith Downing - now England U19 manager). Keen was also his assistant at Reading. I'm sure he has enough contacts in the game to find a very strong backroom team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to know how we'd be funding a bigger name manager and assistant if it happens. I presume there'll be payouts to McCulloch, Leven and hopefully some of their more questionable signings to also consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? We didn't do it with Shiels under Mixu & that was our most successful period in the last 10 years......I don't buy into we must have someone with experience in either SPFL or connected to Killie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixu knew the Scottish game. Clarke hasn't worked in Scotland since he played for St Mirren about 30 years ago. I didn't say anything about having Killie connections. Anyway, I deleted my post because it's idle speculation until we know who is getting the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug2930 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd be happy with John Hughes. Firmly expect to be in a minority of 1 though !! I like how his teams play and his character. I'm writing Raith off as an aberration -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
