Harrogate Peter Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Need to prepare properly and start the season well. I think current management team will have made expectations clear as regards conditioning. First few league fixtures are ideal in my opinion with three games to get momentum before the tougher tests so if we do that we could be on the verge of something special! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 IMO I reckon all the players would’ve been given some personalised training and eating plans over the summer. Cannot see this as something being left to chance by our management team these days. That happens every summer. It's upto the player to actually follow through with it though or do a Ross Barbour and turn up about a stone over weight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it though, would you be brave or stupid enough to do a Ross Barbour and have to explain yourself to Steve Clarke or Alex Dyer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these days where players are supposed to be so far removed from supporters and so guarded about what they say I found him to be very open and honest. He was happy to answer any question I asked him. It was really very interesting to talk to him about the club, various players, other clubs and the Scottish game in general. I will respect the confidentiality of the conversation but one thing I think it's safe to share is who was the best player he has played with at Kilmarnock. His answer was Eremenko. He said he just had to find space because he knew Eremenko would get the ball to him. A really nice guy and someone who has genuine feeling for the club. And some of the f**kwits on here used to question him -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think if Sir Steve stays at least another year, Boyd could be the next Manager. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any lesson is to be taken from Sir Stevie is that we should never again settle for the cheap option when it comes to appointing a manager. For a club our size the right manager makes a massive difference to our performance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt you're being serious, thankfully I doubt the board will go down that route anytime soon. I'm pretty sure Boyd will stick to his media role post playing career and not management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that depends on whether he can get that hair transplant to take and, to be honest, it’s on a knife-edge at the moment.

Bonbon19 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Tbf to Kris he did look fit tanned and at least a stone lighter than last year when I saw him last week Perhaps he’s listened to SSC and LAD’s instructions ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casual observer Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 He’s not doing his coaching badges to sit beside wallopers like Craigan, Kenny Miller and Walker in a tv gantry. He wants to coach and manage in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrogate Peter Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 To what extent did Boyd's injury at the end of the season before last (Didn't he have an op?) influence the shocking condition he turned up in at the start of last season? Unless that had a big effect to me it looked pretty unprofessional and I hope, if he is going to go into management, the lesson has been learned. If he had finished mid season just think what we (and he) would have missed! Making the absolute best of what players that we can afford is what the current regime is all about!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
