Stories that he rated half of his team as 0/10 after only drawing at Parkhead suggests that he is living in his own wee world. He glibly expects Hearts to be European champions in three years? He couldn't even achieve that on Chamionship Manager 2006.
I remember when Bobby Fleeting made his bid for control at Rugby Park in 1989. He promised a stadium fit for international football, so that Killie would be ready to be allowed to compete in Europe when we qualified. I remember that he stood up in the Grand Hall and made a big deal about the quality of he floodlights he proposed to install, because without them the stadium wouldn't conform to UEFA regulations. I thought he was dreaming then, but I was wrong. Scotland played Wales and Estonia at Rugby Park, and the likes of Marek Heinz and Youri Djorkaeff played here on UEFA Cup duty. Sometimes dreams come true.
But the current situation that the club finds itself has more than a few parallels with Hearts situation of two years ago. Our club is skint and is desperate for new investment. This desparation cannot be allowed to accept any offer for the club. Hearts current plight, (disregard the fact that they are still theoretically in the championship race), must serve as a serious lesson for Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston. With Dave Mackinnon due to leave any day now, KFC is close to being a one-man band, with Johnston calling the tunes. He does not see his role as a long-term appointment, but is little more than an on-site salesman waiting for his own goose to lay a golden egg. Take note of Tynecastle Mr Chairman. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Kilmarnock requires Mr Johnston to weigh up any take-over bid carefully and ensure that the long term future of the club will be assured.
