That’s a fair take and you’ll not be the only one thinking this. Only time will tell if this is going to work for us but with the squad he inherits he is up against it straight away. The only thing I would say is that I didn’t see any other appointment that we could have made that would have given us any more reason to be optimistic at this point. I genuinely thought we would have handed the job to Stephen Frail at least until the end of the season in keeping with our usual lazy approach (and yes, new board etc). So it’s going to be a tough few months and if Wimmer is to succeed with us then he has to keep us in the league.

And the more he keeps pushing this agenda the less convincing he’s getting.

He’s full of shite and this entire “boo-hoo the fans forced me out” nonsense was just a smokescreen to preserve his own reputation and deflect from the fact that he had ran his course, the team he built was on its arse and the football was dismal. But he’s gone now and we move on.

It’s certainly an interesting appointment and surprisingly out of the box for us. He’s got some job on his hands with this squad of mediocre guff and trying to keep us in the league so he needs to hit the ground running and we need to start getting points on the board asap otherwise the playoffs become a distinct possibility.

The Pound Shop Klopp? Welcome Michael. And best of luck because you’re going to need it.

I kinda hope so too but at the same time I don’t see who else we could/would bring in that would improve things, especially at this stage of the season with the transfer window passed and the squad full of dross that we have.

Sadly I agree and I’ve made this point on here before and been scoffed at, but the way we are being run is like a bowling club committee with people who have the best intentions at heart but just don’t have the business savvy to make things work for us. And that is why, amongst other reasons, I firmly believe Stephen Frail will be our manager until the end of the season at least.

No words.

This is a ‘watershed moment’ for us as a club today. We are managerless and have a team full of players who are simply inadequate and this game has shown that up. I don’t see how this can change between now and the end of the season and I can only see it getting worse. We are getting relegated this season….and we will deserve it.

0-2

Rotten stuff so far.

Miller and Slattery back in the team. Watt partners the Spinmaster up front.

It’s gonna be Frail. Folk can talk about who they want and who they think should get it all they like. But it’s gonna be Frail.

It’s not obvious either way however I tend to think that if he really didn’t want it then he wouldn’t be doing it atall and would probably have left with Kettlewell. I suspect that timing is the factor here. Frail has only had one game so far - against Celtic which inevitability ended in defeat so he can’t really be judged on that. If we win on Saturday and pick up something at Tannadice the following week then it’ll be easier for them to sell the appointment of Frail to the fans just like they did with Kettlewell and Hammell before him. If you think back Hammell got the job on a ‘temporary’ basis, we beat St.Mirren and he was given the job on a permanent basis a few days later. Same with Kettlewell, placed on interim charge, won two games against St.Mirren and Hearts and officially appointed within days. I don’t see things being any different this time around and Stephen Frail is three, maybe four points away from a permanent appointment imo.

You reckon? Anyone who thinks it won’t be Frail until the end of the season is dreaming.

Frail will still be in charge and we will not win. A drab draw at best 1-1

This is a pointless discussion imo because it’s going to be Frail until the end of the season at least and unless we are relegated he’ll get it on a permanent basis.

Club now putting out a statement on social media stating they aware of racist abuse towards a Motherwell player online this afternoon…???

Attention seeking nonsense and totally fake. But as we’ve seen this week with Kettlewell’s faux outrage people will believe what they see and are told.

A loss as expected but at least it wasn’t a complete humiliation like it looked like it was going to be when we conceded in the first minute. We move on to the Ross County game.

Chasing shadows as expected and far too easy to score against. Conceding within the first minute without even touching the ball was ominous. Great to get an equaliser from Armstrong* but no surprises they cut us open with ease for the second. *Armstrong really does look like Fr Billy O’Dwyer aka the Spinmaster from Father Ted.

This is gonna be grim.

Have you never listened to BBC Scotland sportsound then?

Except if he did resign and tried to pull the same stunt that Kettlewell has then firstly their club wouldn’t put out the statement that we put out and secondly the media certainly wouldn’t pile on them the way they have done with us. If anything he would be vilified for trying to deflect his failures onto the Aberdeen support.

The media pile on was caused by the club in the first place with their poorly worded statement last Monday which basically threw the entire fanbase under the bus. After that they couldn’t challenge anything with any credibility so the next best thing would be to either retract it or just keep quiet about it but sadly no, we had the WS, Caldwell, SO’D and now Frail fuelling the fire with more of the same and now here we are. The Well Society’s input in particular was a fucking disgrace and it will be interesting to see if the Well Bois do anything today in terms of displays in support of Kettlewell.
