That could well be the sticking point. Popular opinion seems to be that he should be offered it until the end of the season but he seems like a confident guy so he might think he deserves longer. With his results so far he’s in a decent bargaining position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes a deal to the end of the season, and we go down, he won't be in a great position of getting another decent managerial job any time soon, and will be tossing away his current role for good measure.

I have the same thoughts about Martindale at Livi. On the other hand, if we're talking about Paul Quinn's conviction for assault and subsequent behaviour, but still making him captain, I'd say that was a terrible decision and - if you can be bothered to search my posts - one I complained about on multiple occasions. As I said earlier in the thread, there's politics and there's politics. I have good friends whose politics are very different from mine, but I have no good friends who are racist. ffs boys yous are off tangent weve been shite all season playing dugmeat etc THEN we win 2 games in a row to go 6 points clear of the bottom teams and yous want to talk about politics, shite captains and non start managers like ollie ffs men just draw a line over the petty point scoring and concentrate on the possitive things like grizzly having feck all jokes left only my opinion but lets drop it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star sail Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 If for whatever reason Kettlewell was to turn the offer down, it would leave the club in a difficult situation. You would imagine that McCann or Holloway would not be happy about being second choice to a relative rookie. It could mean that the process would have to start again. Also if Kettlewell was to turn the offer down, would he be in a compromised position for taking the team this coming weekend? Hopefully they are just ironing out the details and it will all be resolved soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I can't see why he would turn it down, does he want to stay as the academy boss instead of getting back to management I'm not so sure. As you say I'm sure it's just sorting out the contract details and he will be in charge permanently on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 He may be stalling to get a perm contract - he may ‘if I’m the best pick then back me ‘ rather than a 12 game contract . a 12 month rolling contract could solve any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I would imagine if there was going to be any hiccups the press wouldn't be being briefed about him getting it. ... Famous last words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Contract only to end of season has implications . Does he concentrate on results only, to extend his contract. Why would he bother tying up out of contract young players or improve things as he sees fit for next season if he’s not secure in the position or maybe thinking I could be wasting my time if it’s not extended. Then again if I do well here I could get a better gig in closed season somewhere else . We could be left managerless with another manager-go-round again once season is finished, with time running out to prepare for a new season. Short term contract is a non starter. For me whoever is going to get the job it should be on a longer contract. Till the end of season wouldn’t suit both his or the club’s future .

If not, then you also have a line you think that shouldn't be crossed. The challenge for anyone is where to draw that line. We've set ourselves up as a club who serves the local community so it would be a bit incongruous if we hired a manager who was opposed to the causes and people we support. Hear here!

Disagree its like a trial period for the club allows them to see his impact across half a season and the club need sellable assests so will be determined to keep the youngsters like Johnston and Deano and our good players like kvv beyond the end of the season personally would be happy to let all of their contracts run out bar the young players and kvv as theyve been pish all season and let a new manager put his own stamp on the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I’d imagine he’s making good wage as the academy’s head, add to that what he makes through tv/radio work, all without any real pressure. If he takes the job how much more would he get and how much stick could he get? No wonder he’s taking his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt imagine there will be many contracts being discussed until we find out what league we will be playing in. Doesnt make much sense for the club or the players.

Free transfers and out of contract players I suspect, that went really well the last times we’ve tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I would be amazed if Kettlewell is not the next full time manager and sure he will be now once everything is agreed ,The likes of Holloway is too much of a gamble right now. Enjoyed that game yesterday , best I have enjoyed any game at Fir Park for at least 3 seasons I would say 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
