skygod Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I can exclusively reveal that.... the board have fixed a date to meet when the first item in the agenda will be to set a date when they can have a discussion to decide what to do about the manager's job. Now that's progress! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Repatriated Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 It seems like the board won't do anything in MJ 's absence. There this and also not celebrating 20/25 years. MJ a complete clown but at least SOMETHING occasionally happened 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Tornhout's Header Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 To be honest since the Chick Young interview I can't help shake the feeling that there has been discussions, a contract has been offered but McCulloch hasn't signed it yet for some reason. Be it he sees his future elsewhere or he is seeking assurances from the board that haven't been made yet. There is something that I just can't put my finger on that seems strange about the whole situation, and as frustrating as it is waiting on confirmation one way or another I suppose we can be thankful that if something is going on at least it is behind closed doors rather than it splashed all over the press making the club look bad again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) The latest news - there is no news.... Lee McCulloch is waiting by his phone to discuss his Kilmarnock future. The caretaker boss held off talks with Rugby Park chiefs until after the club’s Ladbrokes Premiership fate was decided. But five days on from claiming the win over Inverness which guarantees them a 25th straight season in Scotland’s top division, he has yet to meet with the Killie directors. McCulloch admits Saturday’s final game of the season at home to Ross County could be his last in charge. He said: “I’ve not heard one thing, so as far as I’m aware I’ll take the team on Saturday and then see how it goes. “I’ve always said from day one I’d love to sit down with the board and talk. “I don’t know (if I’ll hear from the board soon). Saturday is the last day of the season, tomorrow is the last training day, so I’ll just wait and see if my phone rings.” Asked if there was a danger a delay in confirming his appointment could hamper his ability to plan his squad for next season, he replied: “That’s one way to put it. If and when I get the call we’ll sit down and talk.” McCulloch has already done enough in the eyes of many to merit the job after skilfully guiding his team away from the threat of relegation in the wake of Lee Clark’s surprise departure to Bury in February. He could strengthen his case further if Killie can grab the win over County which would see them finish seventh.That’s an all the more impressive feat given their worrying start to the campaign after Clark ripped up last season’s squad and brought in 16 new signings. “We got beat off of Albion Rovers in the League Cup back in August, so there was a concern,” admitted McCulloch. “When you are bringing that many bodies together it always takes time to gel. “But right now the lads are playing for each other as a unit. The togetherness in the dressing room is brilliant.” (The Scotsman) They say that the most important relationship at a club is that between the manager and the chairman. The fact that we have neither shows what a basket case we are. Edited May 18, 2017 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3ckyh0td0g81 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 getting sick of this now an absoute disgusting state of affairs and the lack of respect shown not only to the fans but to McCulloch, if he is not hiding anything and they havent said a single word to him, it really does leave you perplexed and thats putting it lightly. its not as if they're busy preparing to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Scottish Cup win or appointing a new Chairman or in fact doing anything absolute joke you never know maybe they have Claudio Ranieri lined up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Assuming McCulloch's account is true, I hope he tells them to "shove it" if his phone ever rings. Edited May 18, 2017 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGHT and BLUE Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Does anyone know if the board have had, or have even invited, applications for the position. If they don't have a plan B in place then you'd have to question their business acumen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably still hanging about the herbs and spices aisle in Tesco looking for it next to the curry and chilli powder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Don't know what to say. MJ is entitled to grieve and take as long as he wants doing so. I would hope the reason for the managerial shambles is not because he is off work. I struggle to believe that McCulloch hasn't spoken to the board. Yet I have no reason to doubt him. Surely they should be keeping him up to date with what's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or he will clear his desk after the last game. Perhaps nothing is finalised sufficiently for our ears but they must know between them what is happening. Why look at Dobie during the week with a view to signing him if he has no remit for next year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
