He's a good manager. Hard to say he isn't. Just ran his course at Aberdeen.Quote:

Have to think that is an excellent appointment for Kilmarnock if they pull it off.
Not really, Steve Clarke got the Scotland gig on the back of doing well at KillieQuote:

He’s an up and coming coach, doing well, so you’d expect at some stage he’ll want a crack at something bigger than KeltyQuote:

With a bit backing and an astute transfer window, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Killie fight their way up the league. For all that McInnes’s teams played in an unnecessarily cynical way, he’s still a bit of a coup for Kilmarnock.
Many on here would have accepted him as the new Hibs manager.Quote:

I think he will get them up this year. He should appoint Dick Campbell as first team coach to cripple Arbroath.Quote:

Which is all to say: I think it’s a massive coup for Killie - but a pretty big risk for McInnes.
He did, but Killie were at least an SPL team at the time, and Clarke also had a pretty illustrious career as an assistant manager to fall back on.Quote:

Given McInnes family stay west of Scotland think he has a few kids it makes sense from a work life balance. Killie still a reasonably big Scottish club and based where they are probably helped this decision. Good appointment for both I think.
Probably lifestyle played a part in McInnes' decision as before Aberdeen he lived in Houston, probably still has his house there and its nice and close to both Kilmarnock and the South side of Glasgow where I think Killie train. Still a decent gig in Scottish football, maybe the best if you exclude the larger city clubs.
Agree with all of that. Think his family never moved to Aberdeen may be wrong in that but dont think so. Makes sense from both parties.Quote:

Pathetic. 8 years at Aberdeen was it? Their best manager since Sir Alex but calling him former Rangers candidate... I'd expect that from a west coast rag not an east coast one.Quote:

Good appointment for them. Good manager.Quote:

Any candidates that come to mind ?
Rafa done a tremendous job at Everton, never in doubt 😂
Even if there are, they won't get the required time. The club appears to be in a right mess from top to bottom.Quote:

Managers have either been sacked or have walked.
Roberto Martinez being tipped as new Everton manager.
Thhough Martinez would be looking for a bigger or more settled club than Everton if his aim is to return to club management.
Really surprised he would go back there. Saw Stubbs being really critical of Martinez time at Everton previously. Appreciate he wasnt hugely successful however thought the criticism was ott sounded personalQuote:

Big Dunc until after the World Cup when Martinez will take over.That’s my guess.

I think the harsh reality is you're unlikely to be either, Kev. But it's a slightly curious comment.
I found it hard to take Kevin Thomson seriously in. that interview when he kept referring to footy.Quote:
