Stuart Kettlewell discussion thread

He answered the question and was pretty much right. It's his job on the line. The tone and the like will bother those that already have something in for him. But by the same token, we slate managers for giving vague answers and saying the same old stuff, and applaud honesty until we disagree with it. 

If managers start doing what the fans tell them to we're fucked.

I don't like the way we play either, but think way too much is being made of this. 

I don't have high hopes for Saturday, but rarely do, but can already see all the "but entertainment" posts if we manage to grind out 3 points. 

The period from now until the day SK leaves is going to be unbearable with everything being overanalyzed. 

It's from a longer interview that's on YouTube. Plz soccer. It was obvious to me from reading what Ben Banks wrote that it was lifted from something else. I think context matters - we've seen his responses in part- but not the questions he was asked

Just my view but not impressed at all.  He mentions the 15 game run last year,  yup ....lucky he was kept in a job as a lot of clubs would have sacked manager by then. Has had 2 windows since.   Yes the injuries of course are an impact but his tactics and lack of plan b are obvious......also Stuart...remember you are the manager that played 1 striker away to Ross County!!!

Yes there are those that have never liked him but not me. I have given him plenty of praise but I don't kind saying it, I am losing faith in him and his attitude now isn't helping.  I haven't called him insulting names as the guy is a human being but he isn't getting the results and Saturday really is huge test if players are still on his side.

I have generally liked SK throughout his tenure, but he comes across as being on the defensive throughout this interview, as though he's being 'got at' a wee bit - by the media, match officials and supporters. In my opinion, he clearly puts his all into the managerial post and rightly points to the fact we are still in a good league position despite squad injury challenges throughout the season so far. I do however sometimes wonder if they are over-analysing games with the players and would like to see the team just getting back to doing the basics of football well, having watched them struggle badly of late...

No he doesn't in my view. He's honest and he's always appreciated the support. You can see it in previous videos where he goes over and thanks the support at the end telling them they are brilliant

I'll support him till the end.. Like I've done with every other Motherwell manager. Robbo had a 9 game winless streak when he walked - but we were tenth then and we are currently fifth. The constant Kettlewell bashing is getting on my every last nerve right now - just a general comment

Who are you aiming this at. People who support Kettlewell? You're calling people who support Kettlewell stupid?

I haven't been bashing him, I have been very constructive

That was a joke.

I thought considering we have had a number of dialogues - you would probably know I am one that has been convicted of being a happy clapper!

You said last week he had one more game before you lost faith in him - and that's ok. You are entitled. But there are people on here who batter him no matter what he does - they want him out. And they've wanted him out for the last 18 months.

Absolutely my man.

In fact you're in a very similar position to myself. Been pretty positive towards Kettlewell but are asking questions now.
No more than that.

I agree, there are those that want him out regardless but I am not one of those. I have given him plenty backing but he needs to turn this round and quick

In such a forum, people should continue to be allowed express their opinions good, bad or indifferent about the manager without being constantly told off like school children.

Very tiresome to read.

Anyways, I probably agree with SKs comments to an extent. That being said, he’s painted a bigger target on his own back 👍🏼

It's condescending, but you probably know that, or your autocorrect does.

People are going to take what they want from that interview, but there's nothing objectively controversial in what he said. 

The away support is going to drop because it's not a cup game, and also the second visit to the same place in a week, and you know that too.

Yes!!! 

[wellgirl]

He better not get sacked until the person who bid for lunch with him and the players gets said lunch *coughs*

 

Me!!!! 

[FirParkCornerExile]

I will always defend his work ethic , I think he works tirelessly. How good bad or indifferent he makes us everyone will have their personal opinion. I'm afraid I just don't listen to him anymore. He never says anything that changes it for me. He ours until the club decide otherwise. Do I want him sacked ? actually I don't care, it is what it is.  I'm indifferent to him now . I'm bored to tears watching shite and just cant be arsed listening to anything trying to defend it. 

Que Sera Sera as the song goes.

I think you are right. He's a hard worker - I personally hope he turns it around
