If your are going to spout this type of bile you should try and post facts.

cammy2012 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Did we ever find out why John Kiltie and the other Director resigned? Have to say it's difficult not to be suspicious of backroom goings on when a veil of secrecy seems to have been drawn over the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefife Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have not an inkling what has/is happening but lets not pretend that businessmen are all paragons of virtue. When times get tough the priority is looking after number one; themselves. They are aware of whats ahead before anyone and in most cases take the appropriate action to mitigate any hit they might take. This can involve taking repayment of loans and utilising funds to support other businesses. Hope to God this is never the case with BB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFC Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 15 hours ago, Mojike and Bod said: Knee jerk? You been asleep for the past six months Billy? Or is it one of the Bowie family dynasty. He deserves to be rightly challenged when the footballing decisions of him and his board are verging on the cataclysmic. He might have money and ran a successful business but he knows feck all about how to run a football club. Failed to prepare for Clarke’s successor, takes an age to appoint AA, Walked out on the interview with Alessio, appoints a highly questionable head of football with no experience of that role, let’s him appoint Dyer until the end of the season cos he’s on holiday in Spain and can’t be arsed going through a recruitment process. Fails to even see the obvious replacement for Clarke is living at the end of Dundonald Road. Aye knew jerk reaction after this and losing 7 league games on the bounce with an under invested squad. Never mind he can entertain Kenny Binnie et al in his nice shiny box. Do you think Billy would let his own company regress so much in 6 months? Doubt it. Let’s all enjoy our weekend after travelling to Perth to watch that embarrassing garbage. Bkb is no relation whatsoever to BB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted January 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hearts cash a cheque for £150k , Boyce immediately makes massive repayment. That, Mr Bowie is what is required, today, not next week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie could go out and get him Messi, Ronaldo and Modric and I'm not sure Dyer could get the best from the group. Yes we need more quality in the squad but mindlessly throwing money won’t help. We need a coach with a plan and work to implement that with improved quality -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On grass, in a ground 90% full for every league game, or on a synthetic surface in a ground 60% empty for most league games ? Agreed we need more quality, but some players aren't realistic targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Address2apie Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Mind that time when we almost went into Administration? Clubs on a better footing now. Football may not be at its best but hopefully we can change that. Avoid relegation and the play-off place (I'd be happy with that alone after this season) then a 6th place finish. Hopefully we can sort ourselves out after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have needed one for a year now... go, spend money and get the lad scoring for fun at Dunfermline. We will lose far more cash if we don't get goals and end up going down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What credentials does he need? He has been a player, a manager, an assistant manager, he has scouted and signed players, knows the club better than most and been involved at lower level football and one of the largest clubs in Northern England. I'm curious as to what you expect a head of football operations to have on his CV that makes him more qualified than Fowler or makes Fowler unable to do the role? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with performance, past or future. You asked the poster the basis for saying we are dealing in freebies and cheap options. The only players we have signed this window have been a freebie and a cheap option. Edited January 26, 2020 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Fowler knows the game better than most is a fairly big statement to make. Never worked overseas or at a ‘big’ club where he is held responsible for failings. If he hadn’t played for Killie he wouldn’t be in his current role that’s obvious even for the most biased killie fan.

He has a brief spell as a manager and was a failure. He was then an assistant manger and failed at Sunderland. How well he knows the club is irrelevant. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 “He’s knows the club” ”he knows what the fans are looking for” two of the most overused and basically meaningless statements in football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our best signings under Clarke were loans or freebies with mulumbu an exception who by Clarke’s admission was on peanuts. Dicker sod power Burke broadfoot Findlay brophy Erwin etc etc etc were all freebies or cheap options. paying 100k and big wages doesn’t always get a good player, see andy Smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
