StaffsRam Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Targeted by Killie; Quote Billy Davies had spells at Preston and Derby after starting his managerial career in Scotland with Motherwell Kilmarnock will hold talks with Billy Davies in the next 48 hours with a view to making him their new manager. The Rugby Park side have targeted the former Motherwell, Preston, Derby and Nottingham Forest boss to replace Gary Locke, who resigned after Saturday's home defeat by Hamilton. Davies has been out of management since being sacked by Forest in March 2014. The 51-year-old's first game in charge could be the Scottish Cup tie with Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday. Kilmarnock, who are second bottom of the Scottish Premiership, have put Lee McCulloch in temporary charge. The former Rangers defender, who joined the Rugby Park club as a player and first-team coach in the summer, will be helped by assistant manager Peter Leven and youth coach Alan Robertson. Kilmarnock have won only two of their last 13 Premiership matches - losing 5-1 to bottom side Dundee United and 1-0 to Hamilton in consecutive weeks - and have the threat of relegation hanging over them for the third successive season. They have escaped the previous two years but would face a play-off against the runners-up from the Championship if their situation remains the same. The Kilmarnock board believe an experienced manager like Davies would enhance their chances of avoiding that possibility. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35452867 Hard to believe that with all the Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City speculation that he'll rule himself out by taking up Sunday League....

eddie Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It's probably the only level that would touch him now, with or without a bargepole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 They must be really funking desperate to go for the little gobshite. I can't imagine they've a large warchest for him either. We all know King Bill-eh likes to splash the cash. It's almost as if he's compensating for something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Imagine the field day he would have had with MM as his chairman! Having said that I have absolutely BD would get his team promoted spending this amount of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Not really, he spent near enough this kind of budget - given the way the transfer market has risen over the last 5 years twice at Forest....... Anyway, Oh how the puny have fallen. When Warburton gets a proper job offer he's a shoe in for the club formerly known as Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give B.D money, didn't exactly work at Florist, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes don't get me mistaken. He was an odious little rat and I couldn't wait to see the back of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
