Next Permanent Kilmarnock Manager

[Coventry Saint]

Was going to construct an elaborate post that built up a credible-sounding candidate before the punchline being that he knew how to beat part-time Welsh sides in European competitions, but I can't be arsed, so... you guys lost to a part-time Welsh side in Europe. Ha ha.

^^^ I like this kid.  He's got balls.

I think John Hughes can probably still do a job somewhere, but there is no danger that a guy whose last job involved relegating Raith Rovers to League 1 (and making an enormous arse of himself whilst doing so) should be anywhere near contention for a top six Premiership club.

Top six? For how long?

[craigkillie]

For the last two years and there currently, so it would be hard to define us as anything else. That could have really been extended to any Premiership club though anyway.

I'm sure David Martindale is behind the Livingston successes rather than Hopkin or Holt. His past a likely blocker for a more high profile role. Also, just because guys are mostly associated with English football does not make them good managers, in most cases it's been proven that they don't tend to do well.

I still think John Hughes is a good manager but has that cartoon persona that means he isn't taken seriously.

He usually does fine if he inherits decent sides but he's a car crash at making his own signings.

Tend to agree with harry94 on Hughes, I don't think he leaves any of his teams in very good shape either.

Certainly don’t want that dick Hughes 

[djchapsticks]

I'll take one Alan Stubbs with a side of Darren Jackson, please.

We'd still finish above you.

As a Killie fan, so do I.  Imagine supporting Clyde FFS.

Bookies have slashed odds on Neil Warnock. Fowler has also said he's looking for someone with English football experience. Bar his age, he strikes me as a very Kilmarnock appointment.

Wrong sport, plus hes a bit old.....

Laughable reports linking Lovenkrands to the job now.

Because they have 'sufficient Scottish experience' already.

Pretty sure they would beat St Mirren too.

 

After all, there isn’t much between St Mirren and Kilmarnock......

Warnock would be good entertainment  for neutrals,  don't know how I'd feel as a Kille fan though!

Holloway , much the same.

Ian Holloway would bring in the entertainment which has lacked from Kilmarnock in it's entire existence.

A lot of talk about lovenkrands. Seriously can’t see that being an option, the guy hasn’t coached above youth/reserve level. Would be very surprised if it isn’t between Dyer and Holt

Much the same as John Kennedy to Hibs. Its just a nonsense rumour someones made up so they can talk about Rangers/Celtic, as they have literally no idea who's actually in the running. 

[craigkillie]

I'm led to believe that Kennedy was Hibs' number 1 target but decided to stay at Celtic.
