35 year old Chris Ball is hired as the new manager of Scottish Championship club, Kilmarnock. The aim here...get Killie back to the Scottish Premiership, then overhaul Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers, then experience success in Europe! Can I take Kilmarnock all the way to Champions League glory...it's a big ask....no it's a massive ask, but we're going to enjoy the ride!
Kilmarnock are a club with something in the trophy cabinet, but not a lot. One Premiership title back in 1965, three Scottish Cups with the most recent coming in 1997 and one Betfred Cup in 2012. The club hovered around mid table for years in the Premiership until last season when they were relegated.
And only immediate promotion (by winning the Championship) will do for the board. I'll have my hands full of expectation in my first season in charge!
And it's no wonder the board are being so demanding. The bookies have us down as 1/16 favourites to win the Championship title this season. I can honestly say I've never managed a side that is such heavy favourites for a title in my life!
Well I certainly can't say that I don't have a big enough squad to help me achieve my goal in the first season. It's massive!
And it's clear that we have one of the standout players in the division and without a doubt the best striker in the league in Kyle Lafferty! I expect him to tear it up for us in the Championship this year!
Although strike partner, Scott Robinson, isn't exactly a million miles behind him! Every team in this division is surely going to struggle to deal with this deadly duo!
