‘There’s a common theme the whole time,’ said the 34-year-old striker. ‘There’s one club unsettling everybody. If they want players then pay the money and come and take them!
‘Jamie Walker was the exact same. There’s a list — we could go on and on.
‘Calls have been made and nothing has been backed up.
‘It’s easy to unsettle players now. But we all know how football works. If you want something, you go and get it.
‘If a deal has been agreed and Jordan is happy with it, then go and pay the price to the football club.
‘When Kilmarnock were struggling for money in the last few years there may have been players they got rid of (for cheap).
‘But Kilmarnock are not in a position to be bullied any more.
‘We are not stupid — there will come a day when Jordan Jones leaves this club.
‘But the value has to be met and he has been performing at a higher level than the value of the bid.
‘Jordan could be the difference between us finishing in the bottom or top six.
‘And we are not talking about a Kilmarnock youngster. We are talking about a Northern Ireland internationalist.
‘Why would the club sell someone for way lower than they need to when he has a year left on his contract?
Killie forward vowed Kilmarnock won’t be ‘bullied’ into selling Jordan Jones on the cheap
The Ibrox club saw an undisclosed bid for Jones kicked out by the Rugby Park outfit on Monday
‘There will be a some crazy figures banded about but every club has a price they would accept for a player — and until that’s matched he won’t be going anywhere.
‘So if Rangers want him they will need to pay the money.’
Clarke also believes Jones should feel slighted at such a derisory offer.
‘The bid was far too low so the club has immediately turned it down,’ said the Killie boss as he was named Manager of the Month.
‘If I was the player I would be a little bit upset that the bid was so low.
‘We are obviously not under pressure to sell because we turned the bid down. The offer was nowhere near where we would rate someone of Jordan’s ability.
‘The offer did not really get off the ground.’
Steven Naismith has also been linked with an Ibrox return as well as a move to Kilmarnock and Hearts.
But Killie boss Clarke is not hopeful of taking the forward back to Rugby Park.
He said: ‘I’d love to have a player of Steven’s ability coming to the club and so would the fans.
‘But I’ve got to be honest and say that would be very difficult for us to do.’
