I'm not sure that us not being able to compete with clubs that have a bigger budget than we do is mismanagement.

Just saw it on twitter that we are linked with him

I know this

Apparently he's attracting interest from south of the border too but all over social media that he's signed the pre contract with St Mirren

Its a boot in the baws for us. He doesn't have kids at school as far as I know

He always put a shift in even when he wasn't scoring. That was obvious.

I've always backed Kettlewell. I think he's getting a much harder time than he deserves and yes the stats don't look great but this isn't just down to him. Its down to the players too. It was obvious the team had lost confidence before Christmas. I hope they kick on. As I said last night. The manager merry go round is one of the reasons we don't have money to spend on players.

Matt O Reily eh off to join the dream team

Story of our season eh

Cornelius didn't want to stay with Motherwell. He rejected a new contract. He was in the press saying his dad wanted him to stay at Motherwell but he didn't. So honestly how this can be seen as a Kettlewell failing is beyond me. And good luck to the boy. He had talent but he wasn't phenomenal. Same as McKinstry and Tierney and all the other players some fans keep shouting that we shouldn't have let go.

Steelboy is completely entitled to his opinion. I just don't see what the purpose of calling our players shite and calling for Kettlewells head every five minutes achieves. It achieves nothing in my view

All of them? 🤣. Possibly apart from Gent

He's not shite.

I personally think it's shite that you get tagged with the just happy to watch a few videos and get a calendar signed comments. You think? I've been to two calendar signings in decades of watching Motherwell. Ive bought season tickets when i can afford it. If I can't go to a game I make sure someone gets a use of my ticket. I actually more or less breathe claret and amber and I'm not unaware of the mess we are in. I just dont think shouting for the managers head every week is going to solve this.

I'm exactly the same. No idea why 🤣

People are completely entitled to their opinion tbh and I'll admit that I probably am a bit of a happy clapper when it comes to Motherwell but.... I've been supporting Motherwell for decades and I've been to two calendar signings in that time. The notion that I'm happy with a few online videos and getting my calendar signed once a year is ridiculous. Of course Kettlewell has his faults and has made mistakes. Hardly the first manager to do that.

Completely agree. One more decent striker would really boost us

He's just a fud of epic proportions though eh. Headcase was the word my brother used when we were talking about him the other night

Swapping managers every 18 months or so is part of the reason we are in this mess. Bringing managers in to save us then having to pay them off which impacts on the cash we have to actually sign players.

Don't think he's a chancer to be fair. Theres nothing about Kettlewells demeanour in interviews that suggests he wants us to be at rock bottom.

That means absolutely nothing to be fair. The fact that someone told you something.

Of course it's not. I certainly don't want to see us relegated and it's clear we desperately need a striker.

Except we didn't lose today. I've seen comments on social media over the last few months saying it would be better for Motherwell to be relegated so we can rebuild. I don't share that view. Do you think another manager would do better with the team we currently have ?

Completely agree with you. No matter what Kettlewell does it never seems to be good enough - Im talking in general terms here - all over social media. His hands are surely tied by the budget he has available to him

Neither Wilkinson or Shaw performed for Motherwell. Shaw in particular. I personally don't see that as being a situation of our own making if a striker isn't scoring goals. They were signed to to a job and they haven't lived up to potential. Plus it seems clear Wilkinson wanted to return back to England.
