'Risk a massive factor' with potential boss Kettlewell?
We asked if you would like to see Stuart Kettlewell, who is among the contenders, being appointed the new Kilmarnock what some of you said:Amy: It would be a terrible choice. I've not seen one Kilmarnock fan who supports this. Cheap option and one that confirms us as bottom-six fodder for the B: I'd like to see us go for Craig Levein. We need a steady hand if we're to avoid M: I think so. He didn't really get a chance at Motherwell. I always respect his I'm not 100% sure about Kettlewell, I think John Carver might be a good choice His mental health and strength would be a major Risk is a massive factor with Kettlewell. When you consider the manner in which he departed his previous position, surely it has to be considered a real possibility that he would walk again, on his own terms, if he wasn't happy? Seems like a massive consideration for the board to make. Outside of the risk, it screams a lazy, uninspired and too convenient of an Kettlewell or Carver would be my Given some of the other names being touted in the last couple of weeks, the prospect of Kettlewell is a little underwhelming. He didn't exactly set the heather on fire during his last appointment. But I do also feel we've been a little spoiled by having a name like Derek McInnes at the helm, and shouldn't get ahead of The potential manager list has been very depressing, if it's to be Kettlewell I don't see him lasting past Christmas. Love to be wrong but I just can't see it.

'Our forwards couldn't finish a fish supper!'
We asked for your views on Kilmarnock's end-of-season defeat against 10-man what you had to say:James: A typical end of season game and the result is irrelevant. I think Chris Burke would be good as an assistant manager or coach but don't think it would be fair to throw him into the manager's job at this time. We need to get an experienced manager ASAP as there is quite a bit of rebuilding required in the playing Couldn't finish a fish supper! Unless he's carrying a knock then Bruce Anderson should be starting. Natural goalscorer. Nearly scored with his first touch. Haven't seen a replay but looked like Robby McCrorie could've easily stopped their goal if he'd come and collected it. He's not good enough unfortunately. Lots of changes needed with the main one being a top manager that can hit the ground The result and performance summed up the season, now time to look forward - new manager, new players, new opportunities. More debates about tactics, signings and can we actually win more away from home to compliment our home record? Only time will It was dreadful from start to finish. Seventeen attempts at goal with only one on target. Shameful from professional I hope we can keep Stuart Findlay because he's been awesome the past few games and boy did we miss him when he was injured. I have to say I'm glad we've seen the back of Derek McInnes because the lack of respect he showed the club and the fans by talking up a move to Hearts before the season had ended was nothing short of shameful and cowardly, as was getting Paul Sheerin to speak after the Motherwell game. I liked Burke as a player, but does he really have the experience to manage in the Premiership? I'm not so sure but we'll see. Its over to you now, Billy Still trying to work out how we didn't win that. Some decent stuff at times but some wild shots on goal and final ball not right. Could see signs of a different style of play with more play through midfield and definite bonus seeing young Cole Burke coming on with couple of decent touches. We need new management team in place ASAP. Last guy has gone so we now forget about him and move on.

Kilmarnock 0-1 Hearts: What Burke said
Kilmarnock caretaker manager Chris Burke tells BBC Scotland: "It felt good. The players have been excellent, they made me feel comfortable. The experience was great for me and Craig Clark (assistant) as well."Just disappointed we concede that goal at that end. I'll have to digest that as time goes on and then reflect on the game."There's been a lot of success in the past four seasons. We need to try and maintain that. There will be bumps in the road."It's up to the board what they decide and what they're looking for, the profile for the manager. They have a great bunch of players staying on for the next manager."He's got a good group, a good core, and that will help the next manager hugely."
