Bonbon19 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I liked the man but the circus that he created around himself is more suited to the vanarama league and it’s fans who to detract from the sheer drudgery of playing in that league like the theatre he brings to a club . Will probably end up at Sedgefield City or something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Bit of a clown to be honest and how he left us in sixth when, like the other Muppets after Kenny, couldn't string two wins together. I'll give him Coulibaly though although that might just have been law of averages. Edited April 17, 2018 by Isle of Wight Exile -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel4 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) When compared to the other guys we had in charge between Shiels and Clarke he was miles ahead of the rest. However nowhere near the same category as Clarke, Shiels, Jefferies, Williamson etc. The number of bad/weird signings he made outweigh the good ones, but JJ, Coulibaly, Ajer and Woodman were great signings. I think he would have kept us up the season that he left, but it would have been interesting to see what he would have done with another summer transfer window in charge Edited April 17, 2018 by Nigel4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Poor manager. Was pleased when he left us. Three achievements were keeping us up, Coulibaly and Jones though JJ wasn't the player he is now. I suppose that is impressive if you compare to his predecessor but Gary Locke may well have been the worst manager in our history. Don't see Clark getting another job anytime soon. Despite what he says his record at Bury was very poor after spending comparatively big for the division. He really only enjoyed success at Huddersfield where their budget dwarfed the rest of the league. You could see he had media training as he talked a good game but didn't deliver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodgdan Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Was generally no better than Locke in terms of points picked up during his tenure. Think that should end any argument as to whether he was a good manager or not. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if you removed your head from his arse you’d see his record isn’t that good. I’m not sure how you think having an opinion on someone no longer connected with the club is stoking negativity.

Every Killie manager beats Falkirk so it’s hardly an achievement, and he probably signed Jones and Coulibaly as right backs to keep all his other right backs company.

IMO Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Think the biggest thing to take from this story is the praise for Billy Bowie. When he first came in I was greatful for the injection of capital but had no feel good factor about what he would bring to the club. So far he has been a genuine find for us as a club and since MJ left it seems Bowie can do no wrong but is not always getting the credit he deserves - step forward Billy and take a bow(ie)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression BB is quite happy to be out of the spotlight. Even on Saturday night at the KFCSA POTY dance, he was in the background thou he had a look of content on his face as fans chatted away with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Can't believe the negativity here from a positive article about our club. Zorro, I'm shocked at you. You had a wankfest over Woodman from day one... Clark signed him. Other notable things to include: £1m for a player who played 5 months for us... our second largest transfer fee as a club in our history. Jordan Jones... could easily eclipse the fee we received for Couilably. Kris Ajer... You know, Celtics first choice central defender played with Killie. Kept us in the league from a hopeless position. Had us sitting sixth when he left as he keeps saying and endorsed Lee McCulloch who signed a host of players that currently are in with a shout of Europe. Talked the club up daily to the press. Gave Greg Taylor his debut. Changed the style and layout of our changing rooms (that remains today) with posters of players and positivity messages. Moved our dugout to the right hand side rather than the left so he could influence a linesman and 4th official more shouting in their ear than opposition. Aye he wasn't perfect, but f**k me after what we've had to put up with for years on end we should be cutting the guy some slack. He tried cryochambers and changing training times, he had the courage to try and change our fortunes and think outside the box. I'd rather that than the status quo we endured under previous managers. He also brought his brother in law in who seemed to do a hell of a better job than the current custodians of our youth teams. Without Clark we wouldn't be sitting with Clarke!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
