AllyMax Posted Monday at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:30 PM Can anyone guess who's fans said this ?? No heart, no passion and no skill. Mish-mash of poor players not performing and a manager with a lack of experience in anything but one system that has now been counteracted by every team in the league.

He does well, then he either walks away or is extended. He doesn’t do well, then he either walks away or isn’t extended, citing that the damage had already been done under Kettlewell. It sure is going to be interesting seeing how Frail sets up his team and to see who he does/doesn’t start etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it tarnishes the whole club, don't know how much input SK would actually have had with the wording but seems clear he has given it, "personal abuse", as a reason. I'm giving my opinion on how he has appeared to be to me, as I said not actually knowing the guy. Other people may have a different opinion and that's fine. If it turns out he was thinking of his next interview and thought I can't say I left my last job because I had ran out of ideas I better give a different reason then I might change my opinion but I will take him at face value for now.

Twas Aberdeen actually, but the point is, if you look at any fan forum in Scotland, except Celtic and possibly Dundee Utd (at the moment) you'll see exactly the same comments as you'll see on here, i.e. all the players are crap the team is crap and there are a percentage of fans who want the manager binned.

wellgirl Posted Monday at 10:50 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:50 PM There's no evidence that Stuart Kettlewell abused officials - people who sat near him said otherwise - people can slate him for many things but let's not make things up as we go along -and there are plenty people who are sorry he's gone - the Motherwell facebook page is full of people saying they are sorry.

A suspension doesn't mean he's abused someone - someone on here who sits near him at Fir Park said that they never heard him abusing officials - I'm sure they said he was no different from last season when he wasn't being carded - am sure some people felt he was being targeted because he criticised referees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those remarks were never going to help unless he was 100% sure we were going wipe floor with St. Johnstone, which he surely couldn't have been. Him criticising fans though wasn't going to lead to the entire support turning their back on him surely - because there are sections of our fans who have had nothing good to say about him since the day he was appointed - fans can criticise him but he can say nothing back?. I think thats a bit odd. Particularly because he gave that interview after a section of our fans were shouting abuse at him after the cup game I also think there are too many sweeping generalisations about him losing the fans and fans turning their back on him - the Motherwell fc facebook page tonight is full of people saying sorry he's gone - so clearly the entire support wasn't against him Edited to say I'm talking in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted Monday at 11:37 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:37 PM 5 hours ago, MJC said: I can only go on personal experience and I wasn’t at Perth on Saturday or the week before so can’t say anything about what was or wasn’t shouted at Kettlewell. In the games I have been at Fir Park I have heard plenty of criticism and frustration being voiced but I’ve not heard any personal abuse directed at the manager. That’s not to say that it didn’t happen. If that did happen then of course it is out of order if people are getting personal and if his family was being targeted then that’s shameful to be honest. I know that Kettlewell hasn’t done himself any favours of late with his tactics and certain comments about the fans but the football has been pretty dismal throughout his tenure and frustration has been building. That does not of course excuse personal abuse towards the manager himself and especially not towards his family. IF that’s what happened. Thats pretty much my view too. I was at both Perth games. I'm not saying that he wasn't abused but I never heard any of that. There was widescale booing at the culmination of both games and shouts of "resign" or similar but that was about it. I didn't hear any cursing, oathing or personal abuse. That would be out of order. I have to say our fans are no worse than those of any other club. I've not read or seen anything nasty on social media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellgirl Posted Monday at 11:37 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:37 PM The Motherwell facebook page is full of hundreds of fans saying how sorry they are he's gone - that's not someone who lost the entire support in my view.

smiddy Posted Monday at 11:39 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:39 PM Time will tell about SKs reasons to leave . As he likes to talk But one thing for sure, all the teams below us will be delighted we are in turmoil as it plays right into there hands as some one on here said earlier 2/3 wins and we will be safe but was that not what the hibs fans said under butcher ???
