The continental way didn't work, but plenty out of work English managers would be available. I would like Holt, but hope we don't go down the route of Stuart McCall or John Hughes, think bigger (OK Holt isn't thinking big, but it is logical). Pardew and Powell going to Den Hagg shows that these managers are willing to lower their standards to get back in the game, must be plenty more in same boat. I used to speak to Holt at the killie games before he got livi job and he was totally frustrated that he couldn't get a managers job in this country as it is a managerial merry go round, once you're in you're in, but if you are out of work it is bloody hard to get back in. There must be decent managers been out of work for a while he want back in the game but not getting the break. There must be loads of guys who can't get back into English football, guys with decent records too I'd imagine. Wasn't Dave Jones interested last time? I'm not suggesting him exactly but their must be guys of that ilk that have been around the EPL/Championship that don't have the appeal they maybe once did down south but have good coaching pedigree and experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casual observer Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Chris Hughton was doing a really good job at Brighton this year and will get a lower EPL job for a team battling the drop or a top end Championship prospect sooner or later. SSC had been out the limelight a few years before he rocked up here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hughton won’t be managing in Scotland any time soon. Coleman is more realistic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Chris Hughton would be excellent choice...but the more names I see mentioned...perhaps Gary Holt is ambitious to be managing at the level of all those mentioned and his career is just starting? He had a fabulous playing career...I wonder how many of us when seeing him start for Killie imagined he would go on and play for Scotland and have a very good playing record in England with Norwich etc...managing at Falkirk and doing well...assistant at Norwich and then eventually at Livingston and again doing well...perhaps GH is hoping to go on and manage one day in the English premier league and beyond...AA was an ambitious appointment...GH may appear less ambitious but not necessarily so...our last Ayrshire manager was fabulous...there may be another on the horizon...will we take the chance? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby14 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Jesus f**k. Where do some people think we are? Chris Hughton? Mind blowing. there’s no chance he’d manage a Scottish club outside the old firm, never mind a provincial club with a shoe string budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this stage we had Poyet and di Matteo rumoured, with Davie Moyes on the fringes. Maybe we should be patient and given Dyer the chance he deserves. Liked and respected by both fans and players, and speaks common sense to the media. The Killie boys played much better on Saturday against Motherwell, only 4 days after he took the reins. A good performance at Ibrox and a successful trip to Paisley and he will be well in the frame. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some links to managers who are way out of our league would make the Christmas period much more entertaining. Both the fans forum and the bookies need to up their game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thebigguy68 Posted December 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 It’s irrelevant for me whether dyer wins or loses the next 2 games in terms of his management credentials ( it matters to me in terms of killie results of course). When a popular guy steps up there is often a temporary bounce in performances but more times than not this drops off if the man has not got the tactical nouse or gravitas to move the club forward. Dyer is not the man. You can tell watching him for 5 minutes that that is the case. Just as you could tell after 5 minutes that steve Clarke ( taking into account his coaching pedigree too) was the guy that could move mountains. Don’t let a potential good result impact what will be a huge decision for the board. Some of the names mentions are ambitious. Steve Clarke was hugely ambitious. Getting TB to the club as player was hard to believe. It happened. Vision and charisma of the chairman and the board allied to access to funds if we land a big fish is what it takes. It’s the same in any business the world over. The Fleetings had this for a time. Maybe a bit naive but tried everything to move the club on and deserves huge praise for that part of our renaissance. Anything is possible if the right people do the right things. Small businesses become big. Football has some peculiar dynamics but many of the standard principles apply. Keep dreaming of the big name. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppskillie Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Board need to get the finger out and get manager appointed pretty quickly. Serious danger if we don't sign forward players in window then we are going to struggle for the rest of the season. If you cant score goals, 5 matches without scoring, you ain't going to win matches. Defeat against St Mirren on Sunday, no players signed in January and we could be looking at 10th place or worse. Would also get rid of the deadwood at the club St Clair, Sow, Jackson and Hendrie. If they arent going to get a chance now they never will. Kiltie recall might be worth doing as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbinho Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Yup. Assuming (and it's a big assuming) Mulumbu is in the bag, we need at least one, if not two decent, proven strikers in the January window, We can't repeat the same mistakes as the summer in fannying about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Mulumbu I still think we need that creative influence. His signing would improve us No doubt but I don’t see him as the Eremenko, Stewart or Shiels type who will create the chances we need 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydiesback Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Imperative that we get a manager before end of next week so he can take advantage of the January window. At times it looks like our board are taking their advice on footballing matters from Ann Budge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
