yogi Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I've always wondered when we thought our fans had almost pushed mj out BB arrived out of the blue to keep him in power. At the time i thought BB had saved mj and up until now thought he still did.Great to be proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grudge every penny the pariah got but he’s gone now so let’s move on but never forget. baz Wish you would tell me when you are in NY!

bute-killiefan Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Been a long time coming. If investors now come forward, the future is VERY bright at our club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiefaetheferry Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 9 hours ago, Travis said: Absolutely, and we shouldn’t underestimate the challenge. I started following Killie under the Fleetings - we felt like a genuinely welcoming, ambitious family club rooted in our community, and it was brilliant. Beyond brilliant actually. I was chuffed to be the only kid in a North Ayrshire school wearing a Killie strip in a sea of Celtic shirts. I became a season ticket holder for years, I racked up seasons without missing games home, away and abroad. Then it felt like we’d had any sense of identity ripped right out of the club. It was a really strange experience for me - I struggled to recognise the club I’d had this relationship with for years when all my family and friends supported a ‘big’ team. Killing that takes a hell of an effort - and so does winning it back. Om that note, every single employee, player, member of the coaching team etc were all absolutely amazing with my son last week. Despite living away from Ayrshire they’ve helped cement Killie in the heart of one wee eight-year-old. Massive thanks to every one of them, they were brilliant! Who the f**k are you and why are you copying my life ? - home and away in the lower leagues ? Tick - only kid in an Ayrshie school with Killie strip among the Celtic ones ? Tick - moved away, attending less ? Tick - getting it back via an 8 year old son (who is the only kid in Broughty Ferry with a Killie strip ) ? Tick Co-incidence is one thing, but if you start saying you are incredibly handsome and extremely well endowed then I'll know you're just my doppelgänger. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I am pretty damn handsome and well endowed certainly. The good news is that I’m living the same life as you just down the road in Stirling where my eight-year-old is regularly the only kid in town with Killie gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Stevie Clarke has galvanised our club but Bill Bowie has saved it. Guy deserves a song as much as anyone else past or present at the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFC Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 My disappointment is that he appears to have walked away with a load of dosh having sucked over half a million out the club previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie's Dad Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Like everyone on here devastated that he’s walked away with a pocketful of cash. I’ll certainly only remember him for his loathing of the local community, and causing so many companies to turn their backs on the club. Today is hopefully another new dawn in the history of our club. Billy Bowie is moving the club in the right direction and there’s so much more positivity. Add that to the turnaround on the park under Sir Steve and I’m a happy fan. Hopefully some of the investors who were waiting in the wings will now show us the colour of their money, or was that all talk ? Excited for the big game today. Song for today should be “Ding dong the wicked witch is dead” -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all delighted he has gone but a dignified class has to be maintained. Football fans are fair game to all and sundry at the moment and perhaps MJ would take one last parting shot at the Killie fans if their actions were taken the wrong way. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 MJ never cared about the club. That was obvious to anyone. All he cared about was his status, his reputation and his income stream. Was fully responsible for one of the most disgraceful acts in the club history when he, and he alone, abstained from the Sevco vote defying the will of the fans. He could never accept nor understand that the fans are the club. That act stopped me buying a season ticket for several years. Delighted he has gone and shouldn’t ever be invited back to attend a match at RP under any circumstances. He should be left to his golf club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aumgn Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 He presumably still owns the “Killie” trademarks, so what’s the situation with stuff like Killie Pies/contract for pie stalls, Young Killie etc? Don’t think it’s as simple as burnt bridges being instantly repaired and him being entirely being gone. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Interesting timing of the share transfer, given that it was exactly 5 years after the bank wrote off a big chunk of debt. I think that there was always speculation that there would be a time limit on MJ being able to offload his shares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
