Could say same about Rodgers - sacked by Reading, sacked by Liverpool. Most managers get sacked eventually. Clarke took WBA to their highest ever EPL finish and also took Reading to their first FA Cup Semi in 30 odd years. Time will tell if he's a good appointment but saying he was sacked by a club doesn't exactly tell the full story! |

A lot of his family support Killie, he's a local lad, his family are close by etc. He's made his money, doubt he needs to work given what he was earning at Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham, WBA etc. At West Ham he was the highest earning coach in the EPL so he's maybe just looking for a job close to home. From what I heard he wanted assurances about Youth Development, proposed training centre etc so think he see's it as a long term plan. He's our biggest managerial appointment since Burns. If he's 10% of the manager/influence he was then i'll be delighted. Saturday was the best I've seen our away support in years in terms of support/noise. We only had 1,000 there but it was excellent. Hopefully something to build on. |

It's probably also worth considering that for teams like Killie, the potential from income developing and selling on players is probably just as important as getting results. Obviously they want to stay in the league and have a decent cup run every now and then, but they're never going to have massive revenues from anywhere else so developing decent young players and trying to play football that people might actually pay to watch should be a major part of their business model. Employing a guy like Clarke who is known as a good coach should - in theory at least - be a big step towards achieving that. |

Correct and I think that's what most fans are pleased about. A manager that has a plan and from what i'll heard about his demands before taking the job, developing players is a massive part of that. |

Steve Clarke is a good appointment for Kilmarnock. Anyone going to see a Scotland friendly after another disastrous ending to a qualifying campaign and managed by Malky Mackay must be tapped in the head. Also, I suspect will get the job if he gets a good result, because if the SFA were genuinely concerned about a backlash, they wouldn't have given him a one-game gig or, in fact, employed him in the first place. |

Someone get the violin out. Lets just look at what Mackay said "I'd humbly ask people to ask themselves the question, if their own phone was taken and every private text was scrutinised there would certainly be an amount of embarrassing texts there for everyone. No Malky not me as guess what I don't send racist, or discriminatory messages to people. That is simply Mackay trying to somehow say he was unlucky that only 3 texts from thousands were offensive. "I've been in a multi-cultural football environment for 20 years. I love British football and I'm no racist, I'm no sexist, I'm no homophobe and I'm not anti-Semitic." He said there was no excuse for what he did then made an excuse. This kind of defence is no different to the guy who tells racist jokes and then claims he works with a Black guy. You say he has been to plenty of courses etc etc but how does one become reformed if they cant accept they have a problem in the first place? He should be nowhere near the Scotland Managerial position just as the English FA were correct to sack Hoddle after his offensive remarks about disabled people. |

It is a step down from his previous jobs though hence why it was seen as a bit of a coup for Kilmarnock to get him. |

Regardless of how their last jobs went, the appointment of Stevie Clarke and to a lesser extent, Owen Coyle are both tremendous appointments for Killie and County respectively. |

It's a big coup for Kilmarnock and I hope he does well with them. Appointments like that help to raise the profile of the league as well. |

Clarke I can just about begrudgingly get on board with idea he might be some sort of coup, but Coyle had pretty much nowhere else to go beyond giving England’s league 2 or the league of Ireland a try. I think we do Scottish football a bigger disservice by rolling over to have our belly tickled everytime someone with any kind of recognisable name gives it a second glance. |

Spot on Coyle had destroyed all the provincial clubs in the North West, so was desperate for any work. Clarke isn't yet in that kind of stooshie. |
