I've heard that Billy Bowie has recalled £800,000 in soft loans to pay for the hotel refurbishment. In addition, as part of the restructuring deal with the bank, we have no overdraft facility. Great how you can here this in Oz when 2 miles from RP we here nothing , wouldnt surprise me in the least though if it was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 We still need at least a third striker. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Rakish Bingham or if we're so far down the target list we end up back at Kwame Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the idiots read this Board get a contract drawn up for Holt to present him at the final game of the season Don't imagine that Gary Holt would be interested in managing at Championship level............

Therefore the club don't think the playing side needs much investment? The penny may drop when we are playing Arbroath away next season -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our better players are no longer here plus the ones that are still here are getting past there best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1killiefan Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Left trying anything to put a positive spin on KB re-signing. He is a winner, could he be the man to kick some arses in the dressing room and pull us out of this slump? Should be the manager, or captain, first and foremost, but I'll accept improvement by any means right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiorientina was too much too early for him, he should have remained in Romania till he had fully developed or pick a club that is renowned for developing player like Ajax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbinho Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 John Barnes on Radio Scotland there mentioning us being in for Aarons before Motherwell signed him and another target going to Wigan instead. That's just not good enough. You don't put all your eggs in one basket. There should have been a contingency plan so that, when our main targets didn't pan out, we had other players to go for. Surely that should be within Fowler's remit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a concern, no saying how many rejections were players or clubs though. Maybe we should be changing the market we're looking in, maybe January is just a much tougher window.

Why is there a problem getting deals over the line? If it’s that many yesterday how many has it been over the month or longer. It’s now time to figure out quickly how we sell Killie better to individuals so we don’t have a repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
