tanerba'Tam Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) From time to time there has been talk of big investments made into the Club but mainly still to happen allegedly due to MJ's involvement. To keep the manager and stave off unwanted attention from predators we need one of these 'investors' to step up to the plate to privately sponsor SSC to ensure that the financial side of his contract is a no way inferior to what he would get by moving elsewhere. The Board then have the capacity to make funds available for the playing budget etc. It would also be a favourable gesture on the part MJ, who despite what anyone thinks is still a Killie fan, were he to publicly state that when these shares he controls/owns become available for sale in 2019 that a clause will be invoked to allow a portion of the said shareholding go to SSC which gives him a stake in the club and a guaranteed Board Seat when he felt it was time. He would be able to have a succession plan in place and hopefully have had a huge input into our new training complex and any other football related matters. This scenario would be our best effort at locking in his long term future with KFC and recognised his undoubted talent to cement our position as a top four club and beyond.

He definitely deserved it by modern standards, although Bob Paisley and Brian Clough won the European Cup more times and didn't receive knighthoods either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a fair comparison at all Steve Clarke lead West Brom to their highest finish in the English premier league (or whatever it was called at the time). Allan Johnston was pants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhigh Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I take issue with folk comparing football management to working in an every day job like in an office or whatever. Saying stuff like 'if you were doing well and no-one gave you credit you'd be pissed off, want a raise etc'. Baws. SC has clearly stated that he is looking to be given the time and space and support to achieve something with Killie. If he ups sticks and goes back to the cut throat world of the English Prem he knows full well that he won't be afforded exactly what he is looking for. Relax ya bunch of snowflakes and enjoy what they guy has brought to the club, the club he joined knowing full well what he was getting into. He's talking about the summer and the time to build what he feels will be a team strong enough to really compete in this league. If he can achieve what he has with an inherited squad, i'm really looking forward to seeing what he manages to shape over the next few seasons and I guarantee he'll be here to do this barring anything out of the ordinary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be abhorrent to employ a manager, any manager, with these type of terms. Jim McLean got shares in United in lieu of a higher wage, at the height of their success. Would a similar deal for Steve Clarke meet with your approval? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind a knighthood, Jock Stein never even got a place on the Ceptic board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 In all seriousness - I'd offer him say, 10% of the club. Would make the other 90% of shares more valuable ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
