Brian Carrigan Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, Passionate said: So would you appoint James Fowler , who has won... As a player, he won the league cup. James Fowler at least has experience operating in the professional leagues in a few different capacities. He has played up to B level for Scotland, managed in the lower leagues and coached to a very high level at Sunderland (and he won his only game as caretaker). No appointment at this point is a guaranteed sure thing, so the club need to have as many knowns as possible. Kennedy ticks no boxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think.. This is a wind up, aye? He's the definition of a chequebook manager. He won't be able to "bring in his own players" be because he'll have nowhere near as good a budget as he's had at Darvel and EK. A lot of the players he's brought in at EK would still do a job in L1 and L2. They're not there just to play under Kennedy (regardless of what that deluded Darvel fan says) or for the love of EK. They won't be rocking up at Clyde. 3 minutes ago, Passionate said: So would you appoint James Fowler , who has won... As has been said on our thread, Fowler did well with us in a league that contained Hearts, Hibs and Rangers. He did it with a budget nowhere near as big as Kennedy has had in comparison. I don't know how Fowler would do but I can say with some certainty he'd do better than Kennedy. I doubt the latter would seriously consider the job as he'd finally be found out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 13 minutes ago, Brian Carrigan said: Ultimately, Kennedy is a deeply unlikeable guy who has no experience managing a team in our position. Anyone saying he’s the best candidate is a) deluded or b) an employee of Black Rooster Peri Peri. It’d be different if he’d managed in the professional leagues, or even played in them, or had managed under any sort of adversity whatsoever. The guy doesn’t give off anything but fraud vibes. A. Deluded, possibly but in all honesty I don't have a dug in the fight, am I an old traditionalist that is anti pyramid and always support our member clubs over the wannabes when they are on a one way ticket to oblivion, then hell yeah.. B. Never been in a rooster chicken place in my puff, but if Mick is reading this and me singing his praises, DM me son wouldn't mind trying it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyramid Watcher Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Does anyone actually know for sure if MK is actually in the running of the job, or is it one of these rumours which has grown arms and legs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why he would want it. Seems like he has free reign at EK and barring an almighty collapse, they're probably going to end up in League 2 next year, potentially waving at Clyde on the way past. He's been able to sign 25 players and bring in members of staff such as Blair Munn (who is a very well thought of coach), Simon Ferry and Craig Bryson and there's no way he'd be able to do that at Clyde. Also, as has previously been mentioned, if he comes to Clyde (or any struggling team in the leagues), there is a huge chance that he gets found out straight away and he will not want that. I wouldn't be surprised if Clyde approached him to have an initial conversation however. Even that is quite a bizarre move though, as it's just so glaringly obvious that the guy is an absolute charlatan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 I’d be keen to hear how he failed to get Darvel promoted twice on a budget that would sit comfortably 3-4 leagues above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year they won the West Premier some players had a stag booked for the playoffs and others made noises they were happy staying in the West instead of playing in the Lowland. Last year the Scottish Cup run was a distraction and Kennedy was trying to get a bigger job off the back of it. Signing a team from leagues above is great on paper but they aren't the best for digging you out that hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
