RUGBY PARK legend Ally Mitchell fears his beloved Kilmarnock are doomed unless everybody starts to pull in the right direction.
The Killie favourite admitted it breaks his hearts to see his old club in their current predicament.
Manager Jim Jefferies is on the verge of exiting, the club are £9 million in debt, bang in the middle of a relegation dogfight and there is unrest in the dressing room towards chairman Michael Johnston.
Mitchell knows it is a recipe for disaster and is a far cry from his days when Killie lifted the Scottish Cup and were European regulars.
Kilmarnock are in a perilous position and they need to get everything sorted out, a worried Mitchell admitted.
‘’I think everyone knows the consequences of the club if they were to drop into the First Division especially financially.Scottish football certainly can t afford to lose a team of Kilmarnock s standing.
Killie chairman Johnston admitted the club could go to the wall if they were relegated and didn t have the full backing of the banks.
Mitchell admitted:’’ I saw Kevin Kyle s claims but the chairman has come out and denied those claims, so who is telling the truth?
‘’I am just disappointed something like that has come out because back in my day things would have been dealt with in the dressing room.
Killie look set to turn to Jimmy Calderwood and Jimmy Nicholl to keep them in the SPL as soon as a severance package with Jefferies and No. 2 Billy Brown are thrashed out.
