It was SK who decided to have a meltdown and walk, I got the impression that taking advice from Frail or anyone else was not something he did. So maybe if he had he would still be in charge.
-
It seems we have a shortlist for prospective managers Ketsbaia on Motherwell shortlist - Thursday's gossip - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c5yen39z1w8o
-
Maybe our new inexperienced board and WS reps etc are actually doing their due diligence going through each application instead of lining the forms up and using the good guy, good guy, w**k approach to sift out the dross first.
-
I don't think we will see any of those 3 for the rest of the season Dave, I hope Callachan is being punted during the summer, a complete waste of money.
-
Our problems are over, apparently Tavares is fit again, Europe here we come 😱 https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/02/11/squad-update-ahead-of-ross-county/
-
Stopping the slump means winning games and that keeps us top 6, so the two objectives go hand in hand. Another 3 maybe 4 wins before the split and the added bonus of a European adventure will be well within our reach.
-
After today's result at Ibrox, clement might be looking for a job 😂
-
This game is the very definition of a must win, only 3 points will be acceptable to stop the rot and get us looking upwards. A top 6 finish and a shot at a European place is still very achievable.
-
Wayne Rooney at 25/1 ffs, 2500/1 would be more appropriate, 😬
-
That will be the Alexander European adventure where we were beaten home and away by those giants of the European game, Sligo rovers and the Kettlewell cup semi where we threw away a half time lead and were feckin brutal 2nd half and deservedly lost. And you say we were served up shite under other managers, those two should be top of the list, especially Alexander.
-
Let's be honest we're probably not going to get a manager currently in a job so by definition it's going to be an unemployed or a failed manager that's probably been punted from several clubs in their carreers. So previous records are not that important but what is important is experience of what's involved, dealing with players, used to operating on a budget, good contacts in the game etc. Whoever we get has a big rebuilding job in the summer to build a fit settled team so I hope the board are up to the task and get the appointment right.
-
We just need Lennon to do the same and we can relax a bit.
-
His career record as a manager / head coach is not very inspiring, a fantastic player but that's about it, even at 44 he'd walk into our current team and be a star.
-
Yes thats why they are out on loan to hopefully develop and improve.
-
Spot on he'll be a major boost for us when he's back fit, plus it's never a good idea to sell your best players to rival teams in the same league, especially the ugly sisters. I hope when he eventually moves on it is down south or Europe as that will benefit his future career.
-
I would think a fairly basic component of their job description would be to ensure every fan was in their allocated seat, stairways and exits not blocked etc all the stuff they seem to forget when the green uglies are in town. These are basic saftey issues which Motherwell would be held liable for in the event of an incident.
-
It's irrelevant how much you are being paid if you are employed to look after the saftey of the paying public you should do your job what ever that remit is. From what I've seen the stewards at Fir park are not interested they don't give a shit and I would hate to see how they respond if a genuine emergency occurred.
-
Motherwell are no different to any other club, if you get 1 or two players making the step up from. Academy to the 1st team thats a great return. We've had Miller and Wilson so far this season that have the ability and have taken their chance. As for the others they are probably not ready and / or good enough to step up and may never be ready.
-
It happens every time Celtic are at Fir park but nothing ever gets done.
-
A manager who took us to the champions league for the 1st time and gave me some of my proudest moments as a well fan would be welcome anytime.
-
But probably can't afford, if he's coming back to Scotland he may be taking a wage cut, but even then I reckon he'd still be on too much for our budget.
-
I can't believe how many people are falling for this " a good manager hounded out by foul mouthed fans" bullshit. SK walked because he was out of ideas, unable to determine his best 11 from what he had available, playing players out of position, non threatening sitting back and hoping something would happen tactics, strange random substitutions, alleged dressing room fallouts, and generally having no plan to turn our form round. So before being punted he walks bleating about alleged personal abuse etc the media take the bait and all of a sudden it's the fans fault and his reputation is clear, the club board and the WS then make it worse by effectively backing up his claims again blaming the fans. So all we've had for days is negative PR and how toxic our support is, not a word about the brutal football SK had us playing. I gave him the benefit of the doubt up to the cup defeat but then the shambles the next week convinced me he had lost the dressing room and was out of ideas. He's gone so we move on and hopefully get a manager in that sets us up to actually try to win games again, but given the PR disaster the board and the WS failed to avoid I hope they get their act together in choosing the right manager to take the club forward, time will tell.

He played for Rangers
-
The Scottish media will say nothing against the ugly sisters, especially the green ones in case they upset them. Likewise the SFA / SPFL will also be deaf dumb and blind to their conduct and do feck all as usual, it's Scotlands shame which has no place in modern society.
-
He was done as a player a long time ago, we've got enough invalids on the books already.
