Thebigguy68 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 As fans we talk mostly about out best 11 players or top managers but interested to get thoughts on the board members whom - either through money invested, or connections to generate sponsorship, or energy and charisma would make the “fantasy board”. There must have been great and loyal characters throughout our proud history. At the end of the day a great board can Inspire a town and energise the fan base but it needs to be balanced in its decisions, short and long term. Who are the greatest custodians of our club? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie alan Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 We the fans are the custodians of the club it’s us that keep it going . We buy season tickets spend money in the club shop or the killie club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonbon19 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 All boards have a “mixed “ bag when you examine its constituents . If you called for the most hated members that would elicit a larger response 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monkey Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Boards come and go, it's the fans that keep clubs going. Bobby Fleeting would have to get a mention, despite his flaws he delivered his vision for the club, cemented in the top league, won the Scottish Cup and played in Europe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding but Fleeting had gone by the time we won the cup and played in Europe. But that was his vision laid out to skeptical if enthusiastic supporters during the takeover “battle”. He was sitting behind me as a paying punter at the cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's put in a hefty six figure sum, much same as the Trust, hence why the Trust have a rep on the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dream team. Would be tempted to add in Costley due to his fondness to spend money on stuff that almost killed the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he means without that vision, we wouldn't have had the cup win or Europe. Fleeting wasn't without his flaws either TBF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleeting wasn't without his flaws either TBF. I would agree. His vision helped lift everybody involved with the club but he had his flaws. I am still not 100% clear about whether he actually paid his own money to get us all out of the pissing rain at Dundee that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojike and Bod Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 We won the league cup under Mikey J and he stopped us going into administration. Always engaging he had a lot of time for the fans. A man of the people and always put the clubs and fans interest before his own. The time he spent at the club for little reward and without doubt the best toupee ever seen in the boardroom, Michael Johnston has to be considered our greater ever board. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the Lauchlans not part of the board that have us a league title and a Fairs cup semi final. I admit it did go down hill pretty quick from there on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he was good at selling the club. the car park, the bungalow spring to mind ...... Also made sure the club lost its biggest asset to erm himself and his new found pal at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
