A few footballers have also decided to invest in chicken franchises in recent years.

Some younger players are also offered a Football contract plus job at Poundland Nando’sΒ

Essentially, do other managers without Kennedy's profile at tier 5/6 level do a better job at East Kilbride with the squad and resources they've got? Almost certainly. His reputation seems to have gotten off scot free in what was fundamentally a complete failure in not getting that EK team out the LL last year and into League 2 even when handed a big slice of fortune with the Buckie scenario. As much as he can brush it aside, that squad/spending/season last year was a total kitchen sink job with one goal in mind that wasn't met even at a huge advantage almost the entire way through.

Not sure MK is held in high stock in SPFL.
Bonnyrigg went for Calum Elliot who finished 10th with Cowden. Clyde passed him over too.

So seriously u think it wasn't lucky oh well never mind u nothing against small teams beating big teams what the problem I think is with mist people the circus he had surrounding it and after it it was uncalled for to be fair specially after his team get beat 8 - 0 but nothing about that no soldier of love in a big cup game but let's see Saturday if Aberdeen turn up and put 10 past him and his teamΒ

Did Darvel play well that night ? A full time team v a part time team yes they did. Was their a bit of circus yeah but thats the joy of football after such a win, I get folk hating on Mk they don't like him they don't rate him without money I get thatΒ

I think it’s a push to say that Darvel were lucky that night. Aberdeen were on an absolutely woeful run right enough at that point, but they should still have had enough in them to beat Darvel, but Mick set them up well to stop them.

NO DIFFERENCE IN KILBY BUYING LL TITLE AS THE GRUESOME TWOSOME BUYING THE TIER ONE TITLE !

Tbf, you hear a lot less songsΒ about wading through a particular variety of blood, or celebrating acts of terrorism against one's own country, at EK games than at those of Celtgers. Which is very much a good thing.

East Kilbride have a huge financial advantage over everyone in the LL and probably majority of the clubs in league two.Β 
Β 

MK biggest mistake was getting Si Ferry on board, who failed miserably in the same league with Broomhill.Β 
Β 

He should have went for experience, but decided to go for limelight and social media attention instead.Β 
Β 

Regardless of the financial situation, Tranent could have a sniff of a challenge here if they could show a bit consistency.Β 
Β 

EK will drop more points this season that they did last.

Aside from inbred Ayrshire ned-speak giving me a headache, I'm not sure the owners of this board will appreciate you accusing Kennedy of a serious crime, albeit behind the veil of anonymity like a spineless w****r.

Kennedy is never out the papers but he never speaks about his businesses or how he made his money. I'm not accusing him of anything on a public board that I have no evidence of but I reckon anyone with a brain can make their own conclusions here.Β

Saw an update that EK won't be running an U20s side this season. Blaming it on lads stepping up to senior football elsewhere, which does rather beg the question as to why they aren't getting an opportunity at EK. And for a club of their means, surely they can attract some new players, & also let it serve as an opportunity to bring some U18s through into the 20s? Seems a strange one.
