If we win another Treble I highly doubt anyone will care about the end of season awards. If Clarke wins MOTY then more power to him. He is actually a good manager and seems like a pretty decent fella as well. The job he’s done at Killie is even more impressive when you consider he took over from a complete moron.

i reckon come the end of the season McInness will go to the huns, if they are still breathing, :pray: and Clarke will get the sheep job, and then we will have a real challenge on our hands
Not a chance of McInnes going to Ibrox after the infamous concomitant statement where they basically accused him of not having the bottle for such a job. That ship has well and truly sailed. Clarke will definitely move on from Killie though sooner or later.
I'm fairly confident in saying that Clarke will go nowhere near the Huns or Aberdeen jobs.

I'm also pretty confident he'll be our manager next season.

Only two jobs I'm worried about him taking up here are Scotland and Celtic and neither will be free anytime soon. He's doing a lot behind the scenes at Killie and has a very good relationship wit the board (changed days from that pumpkin Johnston) so I'd expect him to be in the dug out come August.

You gave me a horrible moment there, “I’m also pretty confident he’ll (Clarke) be our manager next year.” Until I saw who you were :lol:

I hope he gets the backing at Killie, the buzz around the area just now is very welcome :thumbsup:

If they do it at the end of the season nobody will come. Players are all on holiday the second the last game is played.
Not a good enough reason to take a punt on giving it to Stevie Clarke then.

Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. All the counts is the silverware, so I guess they can take it and sit it next to their Best Pie certificate for all the difference it makes to the season.

All that counts is silverware? Why do you even enter Europe each season then?

Celtic's budget blows everyone out the water, event he Huns. Rodgers has done a fantastic job but if the POTY and MOTY is based purely on who wins the league then we'd be as well never having a vote on it. Just give it out when you get the trophy in May.

Clarke has transformed a team (mostly the exact same players) who had no wins in the first 8 games of the season, had been pumped off Ayr and hammered off Celtic reserves 5-0 at Parkhead and staring automatic relegation as a formality to a team that's coasted into the top six, chasing Hibs and were an absolute shocker of an offside decision in the last minute of extra time against Aberdeen from a Scottish Cup Semi and a realistic chance of a Final.

I fully expect Rodgers to get it, wouldn't complain if he does but you can't base the vote purely on silverware.

They will revert back to the normal Killie next season, with or without Clarke at the helm. He only ever does well in his first season anyway.

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned pies.

What I mean is that all that matters to me at this stage of the season and the position we're in, and I suspect the vast majority of Celtic fans, is winning the treble. If someone outside of Celtic wins player or manager of the year, I'm not too fussed over it.

About Europe, while it was disappointing for a number of reasons, we reached two targets in qualifying for the CL and then getting third place. None of these things are particularly easy to do.

Like I say though, Clarke could be in charge of a team that finishes sixth in the league. Brendan Rodgers could be in charge of a team that wins a second successive treble. I'm sure Clarke would appreciate the vote, but maybe he'd be thinking that someone else deserved in more than him in those circumstances. None of this denies the obvious fact that Clarke has done an excellent job so far.

Arguing about giving either of them the MotY seems a bit premature, as does the award itself.

Me too. :suspect:

I'm sure Killie will be pulling out all the stops to keep him, but it's the same old Catch 22: he's doing well, so he's bound to be attracting attention from elsewhere.

The only direct comparison we have is Celtic playing Man City and Burnley playing Man City that year.

Celtic 4 Man City 4

Man City 5 Burnley 1

Yes the quality is at Burnley Joey

Claiming a sclaffed deflected free kick as justification for failing in Scotland,. :lol:

See it was everything else that was crap not me. Narcissistic pumpkin.

Got to say I think if Kilmarnock carry on their current vein from now till the end of the season, I think Steve Clarke will deserve MOY, even if Celtic complete the double treble. If he is still at Kilmarnock if/when BR leaves, I'd say he would be pretty near the top of the list to replace him, but I think he might well receive offers from elsewhere in the near future.

The votes will be in before the Scottish cup final anyway. Besides, the way we are playing the double treble is far from a given.
Genuine question..who will stop us for the SC?
Only ourselves.
Aye pretty much this.

I beg to differ, having seen every game we've played since he took over.

Punching above our weight is not how I'd describe some of our wins.

We could have and should have won by more than 1 on Saturday and that's been the story in a lot of our games.

Folk say we sit in and hit teams on the break but if that was the case then why did even Celtic only have one shot on target against us last month?

We are sound defensively but I wouldn't say overly. Guys like Jones, Brophy, Kiltie, Erwin etc are not much use at the back!

We play at a high intensity but there's plenty of football being played.

For what it’s worth, if Rodgers gets to the final then I think it should be him given the fact he’ll have a great chance of back to back trebles.

I don’t even think the huns managed that in the 90s?

Nope

No one has ever achieved back to back trebles :thumbsup:
