Good. All the coaches and head of recruitment can go too.

Frail and 30/33 of that squad should go as well. That was embarrassing.

If it’s between him and Ketsbaia, I’d hope the former gets it, although my preference is Ian ‘Barrowcelona’ Evatt.

If Frail has spent the past 2 weeks working on a 4-3-3, and deploys that tactic today, then perhaps we could assume that’s his job application submitted…

Kettsbyebye to be replaced with Ketsbaia... I blame @grizzlyg for that. Sorry.

Yep. Polishing a ginormous turd for weeks on end takes its toll.

I wouldn't worry about their view of this forum, particularly given some of them often chat banal pish about their favourite pies and toast.

Imagine the seethe should the club announce Frail to the end of the season at 5pm on Friday. Then again, I suppose that scenario could be acceptable(?) should the club have an identified preferred candidate who can’t start until the summer.

A team should defend as a unit, and that often starts in the middle of the park. And I’d love to hear how you think continuing with Kettlewell’s approach will stop us losing goals.

If Frail doesn’t move away from the back 5, we can only assume he’s either blind or stupid.

Kettlewell has been described as ‘dynamic’ by a current employee. Be careful what you wish for.

If they want the 2025/26 season ticket sales to take a hit, they’ll not appoint a new manager this week.

Given how unprepared the Board were for Kettlewell’s departure, I’m not confident they saw anything wrong with Kettlewell’s (and Frail’s) failing style of play. That’s the overriding concern for me.

Many of the frequent users of the P&B Motherwell thread regularly criticise Steelmen Online, suggest that it’s beneath them, and preen themselves from their ivory tower of faux superiority. Couple that with their chasni pie etc chat, and it can become rather nauseating, which is a shame because that forum also has a few insightful users. It’s obvious that the P&B thread often displays many of the same issues that plague this thread and, in reality, neither forum is better/worse than the other when it comes to discussing certain topics.

When you consider that Arteta is a bit of a prick, it makes sense. Biereth deserves to go to the top. His levels of effort when playing for the ‘Well didn’t go unnoticed.

The last (away) game against County was depressingly awful, so I would hope that this game at the very least won’t be any worse. My scant optimism suggests a draw at worst.

Unsurprising. Let’s hope he’s learned his lesson for the sake of his future career.

Naismith would be Kettlewell mk2. No thanks.

Kettlewell and Daws’ signing policy: Goalkeeper? Yes Forward? Yes Injury prone? Yes Loan? Yes

Owned by some rich Americans.

That was my point.

I think we should look out for Dylan Wells and Luca Ross next season, although that’s not to say that the other boys currently out on loan won’t have developed further.

Questions need to be asked of Daws.

The end of season leaving party is going to be well attended.

I guess we’re better off sticking with the leaky back 5 then.
