Even if you hadn't actually paid it was money which probably hadn't been budgeted for by killie so wouldn't have affected anything It will have been budgeted for now. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of trouble if he is in breach of contract. If only a certain lawyer was still about.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I wouldn't imagine his departure has any impact on what we're owed in this transfer - having said that, I think we actually got the vast majority of it (if not all of it) up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Kilmarnock are "behind schedule" as they build for the new season.McCulloch was appointed permanent manager on a three-year deal, having been interim boss since 19 February. "Some players where saying, 'how can we take you seriously when you're not the manager?'" McCulloch told BBC Scotland."But now it's confirmed I'll be pushing on to try and get the right players in for the club and the fans."McCulloch, who says he is "delighted" and "ready for the challenge ahead", took charge of the team after Lee Clark left for Bury, and guided Kilmarnock to eighth place and Premiership safety last season.He says there is a pressing need to add to his squad, with only around 10 senior players currently on contract at the club. "We've got the youngest team in Britain so we need to try and bring in a little bit more experience," McCulloch said. "But along with that, some more young and hungry players."Other teams are making signings and getting word out there that they want certain players."However with three Kilmarnock players involved with the Scotland under 20's side that beat Brazil at the Toulon Tournament, including Greg Taylor who scored the winner, he has plenty of confidence that the young players will deliver for him. McCulloch also revealed he spoke to some supporters groups about the prospect of him becoming the manger on a permanent basis, "wanting to make sure they were happy"."It's important to get backing from supporters, it's important that everyone is together, because we need to try and get into the community to get people back in to the stadium," McCulloch added.Encouraging more fans through the turnstile is a priority for the new Kilmarnock manager at a club he believes is "a sleeping giant". "We've an 18,000 all-seater stadium here and we're averaging 3,000 people a game, so we need to try and get everyone together, start connecting with the community and getting a winning displays on the pitch," McCulloch said."I've been here as assistant manager for the last two and a half years, now it's straight into management so it came quicker than what I expected, but it's a challenge that I'm really looking forward to taking on." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Scottish football gets a bit of a bad rap at least we treat players pretty well for the most part. There have been plenty of horror stories like this from the Middle East and places like Turkey before.Hopefully we've been paid. Unless there was some sort of "play x games and receive more money" clause in the contract when we sold Coulibaly, we'll be alright. The breach of contract is between Coulibaly and Al Ahly. The contract between Al Ahly and Kilmarnock was not breached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has stepped down from the board and resigned as company secretary. Still joint majority shareholder though, that'll remain the case until he gets an offer for his shares that Jamie Moffat finds acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Coulibaly's getting some very public pelters from what appear to be other Al Ahly players on twitter. I'm not sure I've seen anything like this before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had been boycotting I think I'd want him out of the picture completely before I returned but the general consensus is that most will be returning. Certainly a good few on Kickback are pledging to to buy season tickets again with a few already having done so. The thing is, when you fall out of the swing of going to the football, I fear it'd be hard to pick back up once you've found other ways to spend your weekend but I hope to proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed they'll be back in numbers for you guys. Shame that it had to come to that but can understand why so many Kilmarnock fans did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take time to get the majority of fans to return, it's not going to be a quick fix. On the plus side, around 900 more fans attended, than our average home gate, the match against Ross Co, the day after his resignation. Reading the posts on Killie Kickback, lots of people seem to have renewed since Johnston's departure. The NAPM, (not a penny more) guys, for example, are posting about their whole families buying season tickets, some as many as 4 or 5, and resuming sponsorship of the club now he's gone. As I said it's a long process to attract these people back but it's a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLANCY2KTID Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have heard Michael Gardyne is apparently coming back. Boyd in the past has claimed he's the best supporting striker he's played with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if his productivity dropped last season his work rate and what he offers to the team mean he's too valuable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Gardyne is a bit of an enigma. He has been excellent for Ross County in the Premiership, but he didn't contribute a lot the last time he was here, and he had similar struggles at Dundee United. I suspect it's a case of County being the right fit for him. Not sure it would be a wise signing, especially given his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said it's a long process to attract these people back but it's a start. Think season tickets are up 300 or so same time as last year. Think around 2800 are taken so far (that might include reserved seats that haven't been renewed yet tho) Folk signing up for Trust and Trust in Killie too, Trying to raise 100k to get a fan representative on the board. Finance would definitely help us plus starts the fan ownership process. An extra 100k could get us a couple of decent players for a season.
