Spit_It_Out Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I am at the stage where give it to someone with remit stay in division if we go down you get chance to bring us back up. Just think Hughes and Wright is going backwards we should be looking forwards however do I have faith in the board to right thing 100 percent no. Still think it will be Kettlewell until end of the season if he gets a win the night point on Sunday it's nailed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said as much on Saturday it will almost certainly be Kettlewell until the end of the season and if he gets any sort of positive result in the next two games then it’ll be announced early next week. Its an awkward time to appoint a new manager and with our lack of money (and imagination) then the simple option for now us to hand it to Kettlewell just now and if he keeps us up the job is his in the summer.

FirParkCornerExile Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I can't understand any of these "oh fuck naw" responses to the numerous names linked to the job. None of the names have an unblemished records and all will have had poor spells at other clubs. That's the market we are in. If they had unblemished records they wouldn't be coming to us. The only one I wouldn't want is John Hughes and it's purely based on the irrational position that I just can't stand the sight or sound of him. 😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been critical of the board but to be fair to them no one with any reputation is going to touch this job with a barge pole so they have a difficult choice picking out the least worst of a bad bunch. The standard of the names linked with us are bordering on terrifying. It's wall to wall failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, there is a pretty large pool of managers with large enough egos to think they can do a job with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 The names don’t inspire me either. But all they ‘’aw fuck no’’ managers are considerably better options than stevie hammell. Stuart Kettlewell included. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful managers with no failures tend not to be unemployed and applying for jobs with Motherwell, so we are going to end up with someone whose record is probably not the best, but that's where we are so no point in worrying about it. Every appointment is a punt you hope pays off, this is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kettlewell was more successful keeping Ross County up than Wright was in his relegation battle at Killie. so be it idc who it is just keep us Kettlewell showed tonight he can at least get them to show a bit of fight and we werent too bad defensivley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I say one thing if Kettlewell gets the gig I hope to god he would be allowed to bring in a assistant of his choice.It was good to actually witness some in game management which has been sorely lacking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor_h Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I think if we give Kettlewell the job we’re going round in circles. He has not applied for the job so he shouldn’t get it. Job well done last night but I say go for the best person who has applied 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be OK with Jack Ross, he's an experienced manager, got 1 or 2 failures on his CV but so has every other applicant. I hope its not a short term "keep us up" deal we are offering as the club needs stability so someone in for the longer term is what's needed.

star sail Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Jack Ross would be my choice. Putting his 7 games at Dundee Utd aside his management record is impressive. Regularly around 50% win rate. Third place finish and two cup finals with Hibs. I suspect that if he wants it, it will be his. He will have a point to prove so he will be motivated. Exciting prospect should it come to pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a habit of left field/ under the radar appointments. Hopefully we get the right appointment 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellup83 Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Realistically I don't expect to get anything against Hearts on Sunday. I do however expect a better level of performance and for us to be harder to beat. For me anything we get from this game will be a welcome bonus and a momentum builder. If we then beat Killie on the 25th I'd give Kettlewell the job until at least the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
