I think he will feel that way as well. In fairness to him he was the only one IMO to really come out and take responsibility for what happened.

In fairness to him he was the only one IMO to really come out and take responsibility for what happened. The rest were posted missing. Most revealing thing for me was on the last day of the season when he said that he thought the points we got would have been enough. I get the sense he might regret not trying something different sooner and not putting as much faith in the usual suspects. I totally get why he thought 'nothing drastic, organisation, experience and some goals from Lafferty' was a sensible play, but wonder if there were warning signs he regrets ignoring. I agree in terms of responsibility and have been impressed with his interviews and approach since the final whistle in the playoffs. Hoping that sense he could have done more is fuelling both a more radical rebuild than he might of thought and a passion to get us back up and right the mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contract removed. I'm guessing (so are you) that the contract offer to Burke isn't for a significant amount of our budget, therefore TW isn't concerned and still has plenty left to offer other targets. I personally think the longer this trundles on the more likely he is too staying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan76 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Not sure Burke would get much more anywhere else than he will be offered at Killie, and at his stage he will have made a good wedge already. Maybe he is holding out for a player coach role? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't we already signed Armstrong as a right winger? To me, it seems like that position has been taken care of and Burke, if he signs, would be used more sparingly and effectively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is he met the only deadline we actually know of. The deadline to open negotiations with the club, after that there has been no actual deadlines that we have been privy to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the Championship with Armstrong and Burke as options on the right would be comfortably the best in the league.

Having said that, the younger players could do worse than try to emulate his dedication and professionalism.

Merk Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 If he’s not given Wright a definitive answer by now then I’d revoke the contract offer. Players back Friday so we need to know what we’re working with and can’t hold on indefinitely for a decision. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 He can take as long as he wants in my opinion hopefully will commit himself now some other players have done so we really need an inspired Chris Burke for next seasons campaign. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cill Mheàrnaig Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The longer this goes on the more I suspect he's going to join the squad for pre-season training and get the deal over the line then. Could just be that we've said to him to relax for a few weeks and not think about football. Out of all the players offered deals he's the one that deserves the most chance to do whats right for him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be plenty of new faces appearing. Definitely. Fancy we'll see the signings ramp up in the next week. No matter what happens with Burkie though I have zero hard feelings. If he stays then brilliant - he'll be a crucial member of the squad next season. If he decides he's got another crack at the Premiership in him then good on him and best of luck. If he feels he wants to take it easy now and retire then he's more than earned it. Skill, desire, hard-work and quality - if all our signings were like that we'd be a force to reckon with. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
