My guess is he wouldn't go back to Scotland because him and his family are well settled in Oz.

And the Killie job doesn't look real attractive atm.Escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth,no money to spend to make sure it doesn't happen again,just lost their best striker and a dickhead chairman who would probably be a nightmare to work for.

 

[Grant Moore KrID]

agree with every point xcept best striker lol
he wis pish this season

 

[Grant Moore KrID]

I hadn't heard anything but then I'm not 'in the know' so to speak 

It does surprise me though as an expat myself (been here 20 years) I wouldn't even consider going back.And Lawrie's been here longer than me.

Best off going to twitter.com/lawriemckinna/ and asking the man himself

I wouldn't even consider going back.

You were there/here 3 weeks ago!!!!

He is over there for his mum and dad's golden wedding anniversary. Purely a co-incedence, but if they offer him a million a season I am sure he would take it.....

Kilmarnock have no dosh even by SPL standards they're poor.

They'll fart around interviewing a million prospective coaches then appoint Gus MacPherson (recently sacked by StMirren).

I wouldn't even consider going back.

Flying visits for cup final wins in centenary seasons on the 100th anniversary of your rivals only ever cup win are acceptable

From said twitter
"My names mentioned in the killie forum for the job.not true but met someone in the street and had a chat and its in there forum.not true "

 

[Grant Moore KrID]

Golly:

Sounds a non-story though:

"I've had a couple of chats with Lawrie," Johnston told BBC Scotland.

"He was visiting his parents and I gave him the courtesy of speaking to him as he still harbours thoughts of coaching," Johnston added.

"He has a very good record with Central Coast Mariners and is a person who has a broad skill set.

"While he has a lot of positives, there is the aspect that he's not been involved in Scottish football for a while."

McKinna, scored 17 goals in 87 league appearances during a four-year spell at Killie before heading to Australia in 1986.

He will be in South Africa this summer, covering the World Cup for Australian television.

Johnston says McKinna's name is only one of a number of candidates he is considering for the job.

"We have quite a few irons in the fire and are examining various options, " added Johnston.

"We're still looking at candidates with more coming out of the woodwork every day and a number from overseas.

"We haven't offered anyone the post. We thought we had Steve Kean, but Blackburn put a stop to that.

Almost reads to me like Lawrie knocked on the door and is being gently rebuffed. Could be wrong...

His departure would free up a healthy sum from the backroom wages.

Good luck to Lawrie if he is successful... we will miss him greatly on the coast because he has largely built our media profile on the coast and proved we need to thing local ..... but having shown the way someone will be able to take his place...

From the article and Lawries twitter, there is no suggestion of him being offered the job, or wanting/accepting the job.

OK ... But...

Sounds to me he has put himself forward...

Outwith the touristy things and anything DUFC related Scotland is a depressing dump.

LM's got kids and grandkids here.I can't see them wanting to go over there and I doubt very much if he would want to go over and leave them here.

He's been here nearly 25 years.....he'll see the place for what it is imo.

Agree with this .. and they'd all have to cope with the endless miserable winters, I couldn't get used to that again. BTW, congrats in DUFC winning the trophy ... well deserved.

 

[fish]

spoke to him today, absolutely no truth, he was visiting some old friends who work at the club.
