hunchy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll hold off celebrating till he has left rugby park completely. He has almost destroyed Killie and thanks to him Killie have lost a load of fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I fear it's little more than window dressing, the knob will still be on the board and have 40% shareholding. That said, even if the worst case scenario is not having to look at his smug face listed as Chairman of Kilmarnock FC, then it's a bonus. Jim Mann is a great guy and a good Killie fan. Hopefully he and the other board members who are all Killie men can get rid of MJ totally in the not too distant future. Good luck Jim, you;ll need it.

Robroysboy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I am not a killy fan but i work with a few. MJ is unpopular but he has wiped out killies debt by doing a deal with the banks and local boy done good, billy bowie. You are now debt free when two seasons ago it looked likely you would go bust. Please explain why he is hated so much by the fans, i suppose making tough buisness decisions can can at a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold tickets to Rangers fans for title decider without a care for killie fans and blamed the Killie fans 3 . sacked a cup winning manager against fans wishes 4. Has no relationship with KFCSA, Killie Trust or Young Killie. In fact he shows nothing but contempt for them 5. Has shafted long term employees causing many to leave 6. Knocked back 100K investment from Trust 7. Chased away sponsors 8. Seen gates drop to lowest level in 25 years 9. Tried to scrap youth system (fans saved it) 10. Takes a bigger salary than 90% of the team and has invest not even £1. As for the hotel /debt deal. He did what was best for him and nobody else. His presence is toxic. I despise him.

Scunnered Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 SH knows more about the ins and outs of it than I do. But he's spent his entire time at the club pillaging... And attacking fans. Not a pleasant man to deal with at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Btw I could add another 90 reasons to that list. Even the sight of his daft face or hearing his voice infuriates me. We're about to lose some extremely promising youngsters and he's the main reason they won't sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunchy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Outwith te hotel cost Did he not run up most of the debt as well. He also got rid of the hotel manager and employed his daughter even though she had no experience of running hospitality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land deal for flats stunk more than Bowies trucks. His daughter got a cushty wee number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
