Just listened to the interview from start to finish and it’s fair to say, it was a tough listen. Kettlewell has in my opinion at least, really let himself down here and in the long run, will have done

Stuart Kettlewell is doing the job to the best of his ability I do not doubt that .  Currently on a very poor run at the minute with 2 wins in the league from 22 albeit plenty of draws , those draws have saved his job and as the old saying goes if you can’t win best not to lose . We are at least harder to beat .  It is where we are at present .  Things have been poor in general on the park in the last 3/4 seasons . It started in the last days of Robbo who I was and still  a big fan of . The performances have improved since Christmas along with the form of Theo Bair , do believe he can easily hit 15 for the season now maybe more

I personally don't care that much about the Kettlewell contract issue not being made aware to fans. It's more concerning that he didn't seem to know which is how it's being suggested on social media. By the way. That isn't me saying it doesn't matter that fans weren't kept in the loop. But apparently he wasn't aware. If that is true that is grim.

It's nuts on there ... The we hate Kettlewell club. Most people on that page don't sound like they support the club at all ..  but they probably do. Facebook is just weird full stop at times

Now THAT would really be something!

Bad enough that the fans and the Well Society didnt know, but the manager himself?

The official statement from the club said that they apologised to the fans and Stuart for not communicating the terms of the extension last year....so it's possible he did know he was being kept on. It's pretty ambiguous and it doesn't explain much at all. 

Tbh it will come as no suprise to folk that I'm happy with this as I'm his number one fan. 😂. It's all just a bit odd. I dunno. It's just more of a shit show at a time we don't need it in my view

Based on the discussions last night I would say it absolutely was not news to him.

The apology to him is, I assume, based on the fact it wasn't public knowledge and all that can (and has, I guess) come with that.

Must be doing the rounds. I'm not sure how anyone could honestly believe the manager was unaware his contract had been extended.

Graeme McGarry from the Herald has tweeted saying the statement looks as if Kettlewell didn't know his contract was being extended - it's just a poorly worded statement clearly

The wording didn't suggest Kettlewell was unaware his contract had been extended. It clearly stated this had been agreed when he signed the permanent deal - does McGarry really think it was necessary to clarify Stuart Kettlewell was one of the people who agreed to it and signed the contract on that basis?

I'd have serious concerns about him crossing the road by himself. I doubt even his harshest critic on here would imagine for one second he or his agent were oblivious to his contract situation.

The board left themselves wide open to criticism/ridicule on this and they deserve it. But when they did issue the statement and folk immediately began foaming online about Kettlewell getting a year's extension last night, you have to wonder if those fans are actually interested in anything other than moaning.

I completely agree. Apparently the entire board and Kettlewell have to get to fuck according to some people on social media.

You're rght Grizzly. Of course, SK knew his contract had been extended. It was probably part of his original contract and was results based.  However he probably felt, rightly, that it wasn't his job to make a public announcement about it. As you say just poor communication. If nothing else, you'd have thoughtthat someone at the club would monitor SO and P & B to pick up on any avoidable complaints/discussion centred on his contract ending this coming May.

Personally I don't think it's the club's job to monitor forums to seek out discussion about Kettlewell. Some people like him and want him to stay and some people dont. 

Its personally no skin off my nose that this announcement wasn't made sooner. I actually miss the days where I just turned up to watch Motherwell and went home without all this noise going on (social media). I dont think it's up to fans to dictate who stays and who goes - this isn't directed at you btw. I just feel that there was a lot of clamour to get Alexander out, he went - and that we've been on a downward spiral ever since. 

It's also fine if people don't agree with me.
