Jammy bastards!
Seriously though, this is brilliant.
Good luck.

So is Pascali the highest earner????
Just for the record.
I was meaning of the guys we've signed this summer.
-
I heard it was Pascali on £2,500 per week. Could be very wrong right enough.
He signed before Setanta went tits up. If he resigns at end of season it will be on much reduced terms. Highest wage we offer now is what Harkins is on.
-
Admirable the vast array of contacts used to the fullest and creative use of the budget - doesn't hide the fact they've won 3 out of what, 20 games?
Agreed. But I still think the strength of our squad will help us in.winter, when others are struggling.
Only time will tell.
-
Bigger squad yes but I was told by Kenny Shiels pre season that st mirren blew us out the water for the lad Carey.
He is obviously going down the route of getting a strong squad together rather than just a really strong 11. Hopefully it will benefit us when other teams start picking up injuries/suspensions.
On Saturday we had guys like Galan, Hutchinson, Bell, Pavankar, Ada etc that weren't even stripped!
But as I've previously said, our budget is solely decided by bank. KS seems to have good contacts and the fact that we were only paying eremenks living expenses, shows there are bargains to be had.
For the record, Harkins on £1800 is top earner.
-
I'd be more concerned about how on Earth Kilmarnock are bank-rolling this current team. Where is the money coming from as I was under the impression they were over £10Million in debt, or has that changed?
Our budget has been slashed each of the past three years. Think KS has £500,000 a year less than what JJ's lowest wage bill was.
We also can't compete with the likes of motherwell or even st mirren in terms of wages. Harkins and Pasca top earners.
The likes of McKeown, Pursehouse, Dayton, etc from those they played yesterday will be on peanuts. Guys like Fowler, Kelly came through youth system and won't be earning megabucks, whilst Shiels and Sissoko are on loan.
The bank call the shots, whatever our budget is, they've agreed to it.
Our debt was £13m at one point but should be around £8m by the time next set of accounts are out. Mainly due to the cost of building hotel, sports bar etc.

Actually counting it it would be 2 in 20 (8 last season and 12 this season). I think that is why Shiels comes away with over exagerations (dominated game yesterday) as he is quite rightly concerned. If you avoid Celtic I can see you at the CIS Cup Final. Killie have the potential to finish anywhere from 4th place to 9th imo. It will be the draws that could scupper you. I fancy you to finish 6th.
Was the win before that, the game we hammered you at RP?
-
A top six finish would surely constitute success for Killie, would it not?
Yes. Would for most teams outside Glasgow.
-
I don't know anybody who isn't backing him, although the stats are worrying. Is it really 2 in 21 games? We've drawn 6 this season, which has resulted in our league position being poor.
I expect us to be top six.
-
Dont agree with that at all, his shooting in particular was diabolical...if he was one of our players the East Stand would have crucified him
His shooting is normally one of the stronger aspects of his game. I thought he played well yesterday.
Jennings was your best player.
-
Pretty even game. Would have taken draws vs Celtic and motherwell before a ball was kicked.
-
Every club draws support from other towns within a close proximity to their home town, but not every club has the OF at such close proximity
Killie is slightly bigger than Motherwell and whilst we don't have any big towns right next to us, Irvine is about 10 miles away.
Just too bad Ayrshire is full of h**s. The new M77 means you can be in Glasgow in 20 mins from Killie.
Was walking to Rugby Park on Saturday and saw a guy and his son getting out house next to ground with Celtic colours on. What chance you got?!
-
Spot on mate ..................... and our domestic points scoring has us placed 5th in Scotland.
An excellent achievement to date
Celtic, rangers, motherwell, aberdeen and hearts?
The all time SPL table makes interesting reading too.
-
Fired a fiver on that myself. Like you say, he's been close on a couple of occaisions with headers.
I might put a fiver on that.
-
Don't even pretend you'll be paying full price for this game! I know you'll be slying in for a student if you can't get your hands on a comp.
11am start in the pub?
Wouldn't even dare try...
Aye pub for just after 11. Working OT 7.30-1030am. Ibiza and alicante this last month have fucked me!!!
-
Thought Killie looked impressive going forward but totally inept on thebackfoot so 3-2 to the mighty Well
Just about sums us up and doesn't help when you have two teenage full backs!!
-
I am not taking it seriously! As oneils40yarder will testify, I have never rated clancy.
-
The present is where it matters though. I think we might have double the points of your lot now.
I am well aware of that. We will see what your views are of him at end of season.
-
Playing with better players and for a much bigger club does improve you as a player though
.Funny that, he was pish for the team that finished above you last year.
-
Just seen prices £22 for away end. Certainly doesn't encourage folk to attend. And before anyone has a go, Killie are just as bad.
-
Should have kept a hold of Tom Clancy, been doing a sterling job for us at centre-half.................cue a nightmare on Saturday now that I've said that
Wait till you get a full season out him......
-
We aren't defensively inconsistent. We are consistently shite in defence!
-
Killie took a great away support to St Mirren recently shame the same won't be at Fir Park. Joy of TV I guess.
As for the game. Think stylistically both teams are set up for a good even game. Hopefully a 2-0 Well win with goals from Higgy and Murphy.
Just under 1300. We always take a big crowd there, took 2600 last year.
For some reason we take nothing like that to FP.
-
All I know is we won't keep a clean sheet! Can't see there being a big away support, most folk keeping cash for tynecastle and cup game in next fortnight.
Main stand I take it?
