Where we are now is down to what’s happened over the last few years. Robinson, Alexander, Hammell, Kettlewell. I would say they are all relevant to where we are now.

Robinson signed more players of a good standard than three managers combined have since, on I would think the same budget. People used to go on about the previous recruitment,( was it Foyle)under Robinson but he had a way better eye for a player

Need to beg Robinson to come back, a proper manager that knows how to keep a club safe in the league. Everyone since him has been a downgrade. Kettlewell will be sacked after this and no doubt another loser will come through the door and take us down to the championship.

9th

Are you ever happy about anything in your life ?

I think we’re past that point and they both know it. They need to be playing first team games and it’s going to be limited at Motherwell as neither are quite up to Premiership level.

It would be a yes from me

Is money not always tight at a club like Motherwell ?

And of course it’s been the same for years. Given that it’s a bit strange some people think it’s suddenly going to change. You would think the pre season predictions of doom would have dissipated by now given it never actually happens.

He did and he was indeed old school. But underrated? not for me. I wish him well but he’s playing in the championship next season for a reason, he’s technically around top championship level. A number of Motherwell managers did not have him as a regular starter which tells its own story.

Trouble was he could not pass a decent ball to save his life.

Very lazy

Harrogate have been bankrolled for years and a stable set up with a long standing manager. It’s also a lovely place to live, and I was born there.

I’m amazed it’s even being mentioned, he’s one of the best keepers in the division and has saved us a ton of points.

Losing Kelly would be a huge blow. Regarding KVV it’s not long ago he was taking stick. He’s in his 30s and has never had a season like the last one in his whole career and it’s highly likely it won’t be repeated. I don’t think half a million plus add ons is that bad given many would have happily taken 50k for lazy Kevin not that long ago

Probably the best contract extension for years. We’re going to make good money out of it.

I think for many Moult was seen a risk with taking, plenty including myself felt he was probably done but it could have been a great deal I guess.

They would be daft if they did, he would be an excellent choice as would have been Howe if he’d taken up the position.

If he is indeed 5 foot 9 that’s pretty average, just needs to bulk up a bit. He’s certainly got a decent skill set.

Along with Maguire not quite good enough for the level for me.

If we can get that great, but it is the Scottish premiership and not the premier league down south and he’s not in his early 20s.

With van veen it’s surely now just a case of how much we get for him, we’re in a great position with a year left on his contract and I can’t see us turning down a million plus.

You’re on form tonight.

Fair enough for me, it’s the reality of football in the modern era. Although my opinion that 200k Would be a fair transfer fee for him was obviously nothing short of nonsense so what do I know.

There is no doubt he has a level of quality missing in many of our signings over the last few years and Kettlewell is bringing the best out of players. Given that I don’t see a problem with him staying. We can hopefully build something around those better players next season and a fit and motivated SOD should be an asset.
