Dynamo Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 13 hours ago, slippers said: It would be a ridiculous appointment given our “philosophy” it tells you what kind of mess we are in if we are approaching someone like Clarke. Hopefully it’s made up. It would be far from ridiculous. Our "philosophy" is nothing more than PR guff, though looks like some people buy it. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Even the club haven't mentioned the philosophy for a couple of years. It's long gone. Folk need to move on. We're back to trying to get some of the basics in place let alone anything else. Link to comment

We have to have a philosophy though. Or what does the DOF work off? Everyone at club should be working towards the same goal. But we appoint Goodwin and Robson when we apparently want to play a decent style of football. It’s absolutely fuking mental! 2 hours ago, sooth_stander said: Other than trolling, can’t believe why anyone would think Clarke would be a bad appointment. Would suspect the answer would be no, given he’s got a World Cup qualification to look forward to but notwithstanding that, if we want to go for a Scottish appointment, he’s the number 1 candidate. Not sure who thinks it would be a bad appointment. Ridiculous yes. Bad no. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Are yous actually being serious? Walter smith and Alex McLeish didn’t even achieve anything with Scotland and got moves to rangers & Birmingham after doing decent jobs. Do you genuinely think after qualifying for 2 euros and getting to a World Cup play off Clarke’s next move is going to be the bottom 6 dons 😂 1 Link to comment

It would just be incredibly odd if we even sounded him out based on his style of football and the blueprint we have or suppost to have. I think the rumour has grown legs from our no1 candidate for job not being unattainable at the time of the sacking of robson. Link to comment

Maybe you don't watch the games. They also get good results. Which teams play the attractive football that it would be acceptable for us to emulate? Link to comment

Not sure who thinks it would be a bad appointment. Ridiculous yes. Bad no. What’s the difference between bad and ridiculous? We need to get back to the business of winning football matches. That doesn’t necessarily need to mean dull or hoofball, there can be an element of sexyness included simultaneously. And before anyone says “like McInnesball, you mean” - naw, as well all know how that ended. As a matter of interest, see managers who return to the club that sacked then previously, has it ever actually worked 2nd time around? No, cos there was a reason why they were binned in the 1st place Link to comment

For the good of your health I would recommend completely disregarding the corporate nonsense of a “philosophy”. Be like waiting for Godot waiting for this philosophy to materialise. 1 Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Clarke lives in England, and is happy with his lot, working what is effectively a part time role, he would never relocate up here full time. He took the Killie job as he was a Killie fan as a boy Link to comment
AyrshireSheep Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Club need to get their shit together and get a new manager appointed. Give Warnock the DoF role until the end of the season if needed. He's not changed anything on the pitch and still got a defence as panicky as a goldfish in a leaky bag. Link to comment

Bottom 6 & not a chance we’re winning the Cup. Killie will knock us out. I’d definitely hurry it along, although this “independent review” of the football operation is not due to end until early April. The only manager you’ll get just now is an out of work manager.

The "independent review" is pie in the sky business waffle. There's no cunt reviewing anything. Just a way for Cormack to buy some time then come the end of April he'll say the review shows we are doing things correctly. Link to comment

I'd take 10th place right now as that team has zero fight or pride. I wouldn't fancy that lot in a relegation playoff! Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Supposedly he's "open" to a return to Sunderland Given how his stint there ended, I'm not so convinced that Sunderland would also be open to it Link to comment

It was mentioned on Sportsound yesterday (by Leanne Crichton i think) that we were interested in Alex Neil. However the caveat was Neil believes his future lies down south. Link to comment
