If he doesn’t sign by x, get him tae etc. I didn’t want to be too nippy in my earlier post and draw attention to the culprits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 This is the best news so far and he has proved how much of a class act he is both as a player and a man he always said he wanted to finish his playing days with us in front of all the kiliie fans and he has kept his promise and as has been said before is probably destined to become our manager some day well done to all concerned for making this happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Glad we got this one over the line. Wasnt to keen on how it dragged on this long but it’s done now and I’m sure he’ll have a key role in the season ahead. The club have been very quick to get social media stuff out about it which is great but why aren’t others getting the same coverage. We’ve not even had a scarf above the head pic for some of the new lads. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimStripey Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 The man conducts himself with a level of class rarely seen not just in the world of football but in life in general. You couldn’t find a better role model. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Good news. He's going to be a big character for us on and off the park. Glad he is still with us. Despite his age, a player that the opposition will fear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is that “Chris Burke would make a great coach.” We don’t have a clue whether he would or he wouldn’t. He’s said he’d like to do it and he talks well, but that’s it. None of us know. Anyway, I like the guy, but let’s not think he’s a shoe in as a coach. "shoe in as a coach. " You know how to put the boot in. Is this an auto-correct issue ?

Popular Post a1killiefan Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 TOMMY WRIGHT has revealed Chris Burke snubbed the chance to join his coaching staff so he could focus on helping Kilmarnock to promotion. The Rugby Park boss was keen to add the 37-year-old to his backroom team for their first season back in the Championship since season 1992/93 But Wright says the winger - who signed a new playing deal last week - wanted to put all his attention on his own game. Burke had other offers from Premiership sides to continue in the top flight and Wright reckons it’s a coup for Killie to keep hold of the former Scotland international. He said: “We spoke to Chris before the end of the season about things. We wanted to find out what he wanted to do. “We spoke about a player/coach role for him but he said he wanted to just continue playing right now. “We gave him some breathing space to think things over about what he wanted to do. “I know some other clubs spoke to him but he came back to us saying that he wanted to stay. “I have so much respect for Burkey and I think the fact he has stayed shows how much affection he has for Kilmarnock. “One thing he said was that he loves coming to work every day. The last 12 months have been tough but he still wanted to be here. “I am really pleased he is staying with us.” Although he might not officially be a coach, Wright believes Burke will take new team-mates Fraser Murray and Dan Armstrong under his wing. He added: “You look at what he can contribute on the park for us but we have two young wide players in Dan and Fraser - and there is no better player to learn from than Burkey. “People who know me know that I will always be honest with people and I think Burkey respected that. Sometimes people don’t like when you are honest with them but I think that’s the best way to be. “I think how this has been handled shows the respect I have for Burkey and he has for me.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7329303/chris-burke-snub-kilmarnock-player-coach-role-wright/ Tommy Wright quoted in a dodgy newspaper saying he wanted Burke to join his coaching team, but he said he wants to concentrate in playing. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Tbh, players come and go and the thought of seeing Brophy or even Power in a St Mirren shirt really isnt that heartbreaking, but seeing Burkey's wee smiling face in another jersey really would have stung! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppskillie Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 If it were possible, I think this article increases my opinion of Burkey even more. Cannot wait to see him play again in the stripes. What a reception he is going to get. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 TW comments just reinforces what some of us were saying during those weeks when waiting for the confirmation of Burke staying Everything he has done since arriving at RP has been first class and appreciative of our club , whilst he feels his fitness levels can cope he will want to fully concentrate on the playing side but hopefully in the future he can join the coaching team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stewarty66 Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Kind of makes a mockery of all the "if he doesn't sign by such and such a date, we should tell him to get tae f**k" posters. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Superb from both Wright and Burke. As I have said elsewhere, I am really hopeful for this season. Tommy Wright is making all the right noises and at the right time. Delighted Burke is staying in a playing role, hopefully a good pre season and he'll be a level above this league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker71 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Said before and I will say again. The recruitment from TW is absolutely typicsl of him. Round pegs in round holes, all designed ti comoliment each other. But its important that the board and fans do not panic if we dont get hit thw ground running. This is an entirely new squad in a new league, itll take a little time to come together and we will be playing every gane with a target on our backs. Teams will taise their game against usx and its lokely our competitors at the top will benefit from this. So we have to have faith and the team just concentrates on its own task. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
