Baxter's Nutmeg Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Anyway, should be a cracking game on Saturday, will most probably head down to watch it. Wouldn’t surprise me to see a replay given the previous few games between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RampantFM Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Baxter's Nutmeg said: The two go hand in hand, the last 2 managers are reported to been on rather handsome wages, and yet it still didn’t stop them from stepping back to where they came from. There has been no great stability at K-Park on the managerial front, and I just thought that giving a lower profile candidate a couple of years at it might be more beneficial. I can see what EK are trying to do, but it’s not necessarily always the correct way. "This just further demonstrates the opportunities available to players and coaches at East Kilbride. We have already seen Billy Stark and David Proctor move back into impressive coaching roles after spells at the club, and we have also had many players given great opportunities in the SPFL after starring for East Kilbride." https://eastkilbridefootballclub.co.uk/news/brian-kerr-resigns-15-10-2018 Interested to know if that statement from East Kilbride would worry any fans? It sounds abit like the club is portraying itself as a stepping stone or is it just being realistic? No criticism, just curious as I believe East Kilbride could make it as a league side themselves, given the opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark and Proctor [and Kerr] had all done bigger and better things in football before arriving at EK so we can't exactly take credit for bringing them to people's attention. Getting into the SPFL is very difficult but we'll keep trying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlansHotBath Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I agree it's just being realistic, at almost any level of football you will have people (players and coaches) who are looking up the way in the long term. As long as they are committed to the club in their time there, it's just part of football. Any word on who the new manager will be now the rumours of EK gazumping Kelty for Ferguson didn't pan out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably be completly wrong again though. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The merry go round has started. Sounded like ur ex manager maybe had something else in the pipeline. Big job to walk away from unless there has been a fallout somewhere. Congrats on getting barry ferguson in. Contrary to what most are maybe saying, i fancy him to do well with yous. Might just be the right place right time for both parties. Good exposure for the league too so fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interim Kilby Manager Stuart Malcolm told eastkilbridefootballclub.co.uk, "Chris has been training with the squad, and has looked very sharp. It's deal that club have been working on for a week or two, and Chris is a player that we feel can significantly improve our options with his quality and experience. We are delighted to complete the deal, and he could well have a part to play against Spartans." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilbyfan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I’d give Stuart Malcolm a shot- especially after the Spartans result..and he can still play in defence if required.The Humphries signing looks cracking-things looking good but I suspect the two Gala games will be difficult-they’re in really good form of late 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Any reason why you guys are happy to let Chris Smith go out on loan? Seems a bit of a strange signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmc80 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Couldnt see him getting game time with us to be honest. 2 good keepers already there. Thought it was a strange signing at the time. Plus manager that brought him in is away now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fremlin Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I see we have signed Motherwell youth player Alfie Agyeman on loan. Straight into the squad for tomorrow's game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
