Maybe not get up this year but within 2-3 surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously aren’t going down this year, but if they stay down this season then Wright will (presumably) go and they’re just one ‘Gary Caldwell’ style appointment away from being a laughing stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 You really have to go straight back up like Hearts and County did (outspending the division of course). United were stuck here for 4 years until they signed Shankland, Dundee would still be here without Cummings and Adam. Do Killie have the money to sign players of that quality in January? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the corrosive effect of not getting back immediately. There’s always at least one new team in the Premiership, and that team will always look at the Championship rosters to seek players with the ability to help them. Conversely, the players want that top level chance, and are often hesitant to sign for more than a year of so for a team that isn’t a “sure thing” if they feel they have what it takes to get the top level deal. 3 hours ago, TheScarf said: You really have to go straight back up like Hearts and County did (outspending the division of course). United were stuck here for 4 years until they signed Shankland, Dundee would still be here without Cummings and Adam. Do Killie have the money to sign players of that quality in January? The question may be more “do they dare spend it”. There is still a little of the stimulus payments floating about the Championship, and Killie didn’t get a handout, just an offer of loans. Yes, they likely have funds from their top level stay, but this is very much an all in bet. With no clear lead coming up to the halfway point, no real indication that the Killie team is that much stronger than anyone else, and the knowledge that it’s almost certain at least two of the four other top half teams will put money down to improve, is it a sure thing that Killie can take first? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Think Killie is more similar to a Dundee or whatever I just can’t see them dropping down any further. Just a level up from Falkirk etc too much in place there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't get up this season, but finished (say) third, what is the difference in funds available for the playing squad next season? I did a quick search and it seemed that the parachute payment was a decent sum and I presume you've already budgeted to spend it all this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
