So in terms of the amount of publicity it created then it would have to be Ally McCoist True, but in terms of football status, it has to be Cocard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate Peter Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I think it's close between Tommy Burns and Steve Clarke but maybe the fact that the position/ legacy SC left has been dribbled away so quickly means Tommy Burns gets my vote! Of course, what happened next doesn't relate to the contribution either made when they were here, but it does influence the longer term impact which is relevant to the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAG Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 As we’re veering to off the field signings.: The £2m cheque from the football trust to redevelop RP was a great off the field signing. Whoever signed off MJ’s debt reduction at the bank, seems a better signing as every day goes by in this corona crisis! On the field it has to be Durrant. Cocard was a bigger coup on paper, but never consistently delivered - which always annoyed me in retrospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especialy on the reported £5,000 grand a week how much would that be worth in todays terms? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just throw Ally Mitchell's name out there as well. Maybe not a coup as such but the 100k we spent to get him from East Fife certainly feels like a bargain. Loved that man and his 12 year service was exceptional. Off the field, signing Steve Clarke. I sadly think we may not be that competitive again for a generation or three. I hope I am wrong. Tommy Burns great player manager for killie but more important a throughly decent and honourable person Edited April 24, 2020 by killie1961 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Ally McCoist was one of those signings it was hard to believe we’d got him Shame his son never had the same affection for the club as his dad did 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two in EPL and a couple of other leagues probably approaching it. There are some on high hundreds of thousands a week now if you believe the papers.

Al#1 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Tommy Burns without doubt. I travelled 500+ miles to see his debut. From The 1st game at methill to The last at Easter road every game was a privilege. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Squirrel Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 In today's money seems the 5k would translate to £8,730.27 going by the inflation calculator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie61 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I would agree with others that Tommy Burns was by far the best and Stevie Clarke the best managerial appointment we could ever have made but I’m going to throw a tommy burns signing out there which if believed cost us a packet of sweeties and turned out to be one of our best signings George McCluskey a delight to watch in his day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Signing Tommy McLean straight from the school gate was the best thing Waddell ever did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppskillie Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Difficult question but I think for me it has to be Tommy Burns. He could easily have signed for other clubs higher placed in the league but he chose Killie. Would give a shout for Paul Wright as well. Number of goals he scored for Killie and one in particular in 1997. Big Dieter Van Turnhout was a big guy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
