robbo cop Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hearing that some people reckon Kilmarnock are team of the year, with Steve Clarke also being branded manager of the year. Granted, he has done a decent job but have they won anything?. Also finishing in fifth place does not give reason to get manager of the year either. Of course it goes without saying, if he keeps improving the team, then he will be sought after, possibly by Rangers. My best memories of Rugby Park I am afraid to say were the rather nice pies.

Aye but look where Killie were when he took over. The guy has done a phenomenal job - manager of the year, absolutely no doubt. Imagine him with Brendan Rogers' resources.

Yes he has done a good job, but I think most managers in the league would do well with Brendan Roger's resources. Once he is at a bigger club we will see how good he really is, also possibly future Scotland manager if Mcleish fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlish Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 When he took over, killie were bottom of the league and a rut had set in. I think most killie fans would have thought finishing in the relegation play off spot would have been progress! Really looking forward to Clarke getting a pre season under his belt. He has already secured players on longer contracts and in previous years the last match of the season meant a player cull and scuttling about trying to assemble a squad. He has brought an air of authority and experience, something that had been lacking at the club for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 If it’s a league thing it has to go to Steve Clarke, the transformation under him has been amazing! Imagine he’d got in earlier, I believe they’d be a close 2nd if you extrapolate their form across the full season. Special mention for Robinson though, 2 cup finals, and I think all our knockout opponents have been Premiership sides, the only lower league teams were in the league cup group. If he wins something we’ll have done it the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo cop Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 No brainer if Motherwell win the Scottish Cup and even if they don't he possibly deserves it before Clarke. I expect Killie to be runners up in the League next year then. Looking forward to that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo cop Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 In the running for sure. I would just give it to Derek McInnes for turning down the huns, when the usual Glasgow press had him as a certainty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 For Killie to be top of the form table for more than half the season is an incredible achievement and definitely worthy of winning manager of the year. Would have no complaints if Lennon got it though, his team have been great. Robinson getting Motherwell to both cup finals despite losing their best player is also worthy of note.

dan cake Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 for guiding arguably the 6th biggest team in Scotland to 5th or 6th, really? whoever wins the Scottish cup should get it, Rodgers for winning a double treble or Robinson for winning Motherwells first trophy in nearly 30 years for me it would be Levein, all my favourite games have involved him more of the same please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Robinson getting 'Well to two cup finals and Clarke's transformation at Killie are both worthy of winning the MOTY award. I expect it'll go to Rodgers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Clarke is far more deserving of the manager of the year award than Rodgers. Anyone who can’t see that must be a glory hunter, or a tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money = sporting advantage agreed. However, weighed up against European football, more games, increased expectation, Rodgers achievement shouldn't be downplayed {if its a double treble} That said, i would have no problem with Clark, Robinson or Lennon getting the award 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
