Im personally not trying to push anyones concerns aside - and I never have. I could say more but Im not sure I'd express what I want to say well so I'll leave it at that

I've booed referees too

To the second point - no. The first - I'm honestly not sure - there's not a defining line in the sand for me if that makes sense - like if we are 9th - he's got to go. Im not happy with the performances either just now btw It's hard to explain. I do like Kettlewell and if he goes I'll be sorry - but it won't be down to me

What happens if we change up the playing style and still lose?

He got booed once (Kettlewell) I've never booed a player or a manager and I've seen a lot of honking football over the last almost four decades So we get rid of a manager if the crowd boos them? Once? Surely not

Apparently Udinese have had two offers knocked back and are going to make an improved one for Miller

Was nasty knock he took a few games ago. Think he got flung to the ground and got injured as a result

Alexander wasn't sacked though. I don't think Kettlewell will be.

Someone posted on here a few weeks ago and said that they sit near SK and he's always been very vocal - but no different to last year. They felt that he was being unfairly targeted by referees

I don't agree re Robinson being twice the manager Kettlewell is. He left for a reason - we were tenth in the table when he went.

It doesn't. I don't see the point of of the constant shouting for him to go -or name calling him - that's not discussion or debate on any level. Where's the "debate" when people are sitting typing names at him?

I completely agree. There is a human being at the end of this and if folk think it's ok to sit and name call him - I'm not talking about criticising him - I'm talking about name calling - that's on them. It has nothing to do with Kettlewell. Does it make people feel better typing that he's a bell end? This is facebook stuff not on here but there are people who don't like the guy and want him out - do folk need to name call him to achieve that?

You missed Neil Lennon Great post.

You don't. But some people act like they do. I've seen it all over social media. The name calling - the demands that he gets out of our club. Completely pathetic in my view. I actually don't know why anyone would come to this club given the abuse thats dished out to managers when some fans think it's time for the manager to go. I'm not talking about the booing. I'm talking about the name calling on social media - I get why he doesn't look at it

It is completely OK for people to criticise him - but that criticism is completely over the top in some quarters - with people acting like they hate him - and in my view that's on them - it's not on Kettlewell. I think some people have personal issues with him - and I have no idea why. He's kept us in the spl for two seasons and I personally don't think he needs to be proving anything right now - are people howling for Robbos head or the head of McInnes the way some people are with Kettlewell? I think we have a very unforgiving support at times and that's fine - I just don't need to agree with it

I don't boo managers or players. Never have. Never will. If people want Kettlewell out fair enough. I just hope the next manager lives up to expectations. I know plenty of Motherwell fans who don't want Kettlewell out - my issue is that we're supposed to think the entire support hate him based on yesterday? I don't. It's all a tad polarised on here at the moment and if you say you support Kettlewell you get laughed at and told you're an idiot by people who weren't even born when you started going to games. Or that you somehow are responsible for Motherwell not performing because you don't have high enough expectations for your team (I really have seen it all when I saw a post like that). People who like Kettlewell are responsible for Motherwells current performance I really hope that in two years time when he's gone - if we are still struggling that some people might revisit their opinions of him - doubt it though

Innit. So many folk who think they could do his job. He's only an ex professional footballer and all - it's a wonder why they don't just ask anyone to manage Motherwell. Not pointing that at the poster you are responding to btw

I wasn't. But that doesn't change my opinion. Being booed off the park after a very poor result doesn't necessarily translate to loads of fans turning against him. And I'm not the only person who has said the same on here over the last 24 hours Ps. I knew I would get the laughing emoticons but it's no biggie. I've been supporting Motherwell for decades and I don't boo players or the manager - Id rather back the team when we are struggling

I think Kettlewell gets a disproportionate amount of stick than some other managers - and I think people should be able to express support for him - if they want to. It really should not be that polarised. I've seen people on social media calling him Kettlewell bell end. Get out of my club. Etc And I don't go to games to boo people either - I get why fans are upset but I think some fans have a weird hatred of him for no reason I never booed Alexander. I never booed Hammell even though I thought it was the wrong appointment. And I won't be booing Kettlewell either And you know what. I think some people like making digs at people who like Kettlewell - people shouldn't be ridiculed because they support him I like him - other people don't. And that should be enough. I'm not going to be called as someone who does not care about their club just because I don't want him sacked

That's go west pal

I would say to avoid relegation and top six and a good cup run is a bonus.

This is a great post.

Ah ok

Im beginning to find the this is all Kettlewells fault a little concerning. Stam was just beginning to hit form when he was injured. It's just getting too negative and I get why people are upset. But there's a scouting team and it's not all on Stuart If people don't want to back him now - fine. I'll back any manager till I can't anymore. I personally think we should have kept Bair. But I'm probably in the minority on that one.. I really can't get on with the theory that absolutely everything is Kettlewells fault - he kept us up when we were in free fall. But that counts for nothing because other managers did the same and got the boot When we get rid of Kettlewell the next manager will be subjected to the same conditions - and they'll last two years before fans want them out - Alexander got the bump when we were top six and looks like the same will happen again

It was probably bad luck that Heygi got recalled just before Ox got injured. However Matty Connolly was on the bench last week I believe so none of us know why he wasn't this week. It could have been for any reason The reason that Heygi didn't feature was because Ox hit form Mair has a good rep by all accounts and it can't be easy being flung in at the deep end like this
