elevenone Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 They didn’t hang around long on this one. 3-1 defeat to Celtic at Parkhead on opening day followed by home draw v Kilmarnock (also won their league cup group). https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/kenny-miller-axed-livingston-club-13107478 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 An experienced proven goal scorer who is vocal on and off the pitch. Would be an excellent signing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Blows Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 He's in for training this morning. Signing this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyjag Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think we are being naive to think there would be any chance of him coming to us. Prior to taking Livvy job both Hibs and Aberdeen had been in discussion to sign him, so don’t think we will be anywhere near the front of the que for his services. If it were possible to get him, he would be a great signing, goal scorer, bit of leadership and a player who will be in the faces of referees when we need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wouldn't rule out the possibility of some sort of short term deal where Miller could retire when a managerial post comes along. Folk can argue that we had Joe Craig last time round and that went well. But we've already got the "experienced striker" in Doolan, who I can see play the "Craig" role this season. So it's someone younger to fit the Dools of six years ago we're really needing. All the same I wouldn't want to see Miller join our competitors (look how well Dobbie is doing at Queens) and our league is possibly the level he'll play at on a week to week basis, tho' he could easily be a squad player in the top tier. That of course would be a poor excuse to sign him. He'd need to fit in and even at that not use up whatever remains of our budget as other areas of the squad are needing bolstered ahead of his position.

allyo Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Results weren't too bad. Looks like he decided he didn't fancy it. Which, funnily enough, Kris Boyd predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Sacking Miller before the compensation clause was triggered, coming shortly after Livi scrapping their Academy and youth system, seems to indicate extremely fragile finances at the Club. You would have thought that this would be a pretty positive time for them, but it seems that being promoted may turn out to be pretty disastrous.

I know we had an older head but Joe would have been too old even for us. It was his boy, Steve, who played for us then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
