He's always been a good player it's just that we weren't using him in his best position. He was berated for slowing things down by continually turning back on himself and killing any momentum we had going forward but it now looks like he was only following orders.

OR The psychological term for expecting the worst in everything is "catastrophizing"; it refers to the tendency to automatically assume the worst possible outcome in a situation, even when there's little evidence to support it.

Normal service is resumed.

Barry Ferguson is a Fud. Can't string 2 words together and lives on his past glories.Will never be a good manager in a million years. Plus my mate gave him a doing in Hamilton one night when he insulted his wife.

We're like a Rottweiler that's been let off it's leash.

Is it not something to do with sponsors??. Sure I read that somewhere here or P&B.

All things that can be sorted on the training ground.

When you've been schooled to play a certain way for as long as this squad has been, it takes time to adjust to a different style and tbh I was expecting that to take a lot longer than it has. Early days but night and day from a few weeks ago and it can only improve as they get more sessions under their belts. A joy to see guys playing with a smile on their faces for a change. Makes you wonder if Kettlewell was as popular in the dressing room as he was being made out to be.

The Ross County fans did warn us about his eye for a player.

Beginning to think there's something going on here behind the scenes. Hope I'm just being paranoid.

I'm like you and suspect you're talking about all the naysayers on X and FB who really don't have a clue about inward investment and have an axe to grind with the WS. An update would be good as I think from memory they said something would be announced last year and with nothing concrete yet forthcoming it just gives these trolls more ammunition and theyre probably the same ones who were dishing out the abuse to Kettlewell ( deserved or not). I've every confidence that our finances are under control.

I know you're talking in general so no offence taken. There's a difference between investment and soft loans. A company or entrepreneur if theyre making enough money will always look to invest somewhere that raises their profile and fits into their ethos as it is effectively written of against tax. I look forward to finding out the progress on this front from the WS in time, I've every confidence that they're on the ball with that. Totally agree that Kettlewell made a total arse of his signings and to end up with the size of squad we have is testament to negligence and I again look forward to seeing what our wage bill is for this season.

Unless we pull a rabbit out the hat in the last 20mins we go into Wednesday night needing a win. Lose that and I fully expect us to finish in the play off spot. If we somehow avoid that, major squad rebuild in the summer required and I just hope the WS have all this inward investment lined up to attract a better quality player otherwise its rinse and repeat next season.

I still have fond memories of the old "Club Call" where that was the only way you could find out what was happening at the club. Till my old man got the phone bill in😬

Notice that not one of the hacks has had the balls to ask him exactky what was allegedly shouted that upset his family so much. Anyway he's history and we move on

More likely our Chairman with his German connections knew about him and sounded him out.

The only whiff of a leak I heard was overhearing a couple of the padded seats club blazer and tie brigade having a conversation outside the entrance about Frail being "definitely away on Monday then"

Quite excited by this mainly because he's different.

3rd time lucky maybe.

Could have been his No 2 And no jobby jokes please.

Someone was saying that Van Gaag was in the stand as well. Listening to the rumours in the pie queue was more exciting than watching the game. I'm past the stage of even caring if I'm honest just scunnered watching dross every week not just Motherwell but the League in general. Unless the new manager has a magic wand I can see us in deep shit.

Rumours in the pie queue is its going to be announced Monday if not before and it's not Ketsbaia or Frail.

He's in Tenerife.

Sorry, Lowe
