Would take him ahead of Holloway. Maybe with kettlewell as assistant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he'll combine the First XI manager's job with being the new CEO. Aye, the whole thing sounds like a disaster. Didn't come up with the money he promised and left them in 20th place with the fans complaining about a bloated, shit squad (sounds familiar). They were also the first team in England to be fined for breaching Covid rules - the players weren't social distancing and Holloway was playing darts with them as a team bonding exercise.

I like the idea of keeping kettlewell in his original role, then having him be our designated createker, since we're probably going to go through a bunch of managers like every other club. We're so short of coaches right now, we could really do with an additional coach coming in with the new manager and assistant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsterwood Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Holloway has poorer win ratio than Roy Keane and Mcclaren and is seen as a bit of a joke figure down south. Google Holloway and most over rated manager. Stay well clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Holloway been relegated 5 times in past. He has made most clubs worse off. Apart from Blackpool. Has had money to spend too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiddy Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 no rush to appoint anybody right now, lets see how the kettle boils the morra dont really think we will win but see how he sets us up to play and also see if there is the marked improvement again in the attitude and commitment of ALL the players, just hope we didnt shoot our bolt on wed , then blow out there erses morra with 30 to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davkel Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 One of the biggest problems for Kettlewell .... the fitness or lack of fitness in the squad ... very poor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Looked fit against st mirren. Think we got more creativity than utd killie and ross co. Pro footballers are all fit. They train 3 or 4 times a week. And also at matches. It was formation that cost us and selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiddy Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 think davkel is onto something there, yes they are fit , but if they were doing 2 sessions a day then they would be fitter, was it not mcghee that had them doing doubles at one point telling them "forget picking your kids up from school we will be back in all afternoon getting fitter " or words to that effect, there is fit, but you can get really fit, which i dont think we are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Fitness relatively similar with all pro clubs. Difference in model. Re Bielsa at Leeds. This also led to more burn out later in season and more injuries. Pace could be issue across side but stamina appears no different to other spl teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 100 percent the fitness has been worse since the return from the World Cup break.I don't know what they were doing but it's regressed terribly. But that has to do with the management team really drilling the players properly. I truly believe this is why the midfield have been so bad at tracking back this season the fitness isn't upto scratch. Slattery is prime example he has gave away so many yellow cards this season because he is not fit enough to keep up with opponents so just fouls them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudmfc Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Garbage,how is it we looked fitter and stronger when we played a 3-5-2 against st midden,the 4-3-3 was killing our midfield,the opponents would beat a lack lustre press with one pass into midfield then out number our 3,spittal covered the area behind the front two,deano looked to be covering the area behind the midfield all weak points that teams could get at,I for one will not question there fitness levels,it's been the shape/formation that's pissed me off for last 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMax Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Holloway, in my opinion, would be a mental appointment. Surely our board don't want to go into this relegation fight with a media clown/entertainer with no recent record and a spectacular failure on his record. Especially one that seems to have the public persona of the kind of comedian that gets booked for low grade caravan parks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost like he adopts the 'comic' routine to deflect a degree of scrutiny away from his actual abilities. He seems to be loved as a 'character' by certain media outlets which all has helped to boost his profile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Shankly and Clough were great managers with great quotes. The others are pale imitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 as auditions/interviews go, Kettlewell has strengthened his position and ours. Massive 6 points. Irrespective of what happens next, massive thank you to this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Kettlewell surely has to get the gig until the end of the season now. He’s got them playing as a team and we would be mad to upset that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I didn't want kettlewell even getting it to the end of the season but I've changed my mind now.im not getting carried away with the two wins,even though it helps but he's shown a willingness to change things tactically and there's a fighting spirit on the park, bringing someone else in now might disrupt things and set us back,we've got it in our hands,we should be looking to keep it simple and ticking over until the end of the season and I think kettlewell will provide that,what happens in the summer will take care of itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleeastdave Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 It has to be Kettlewell, at least we know what we get from him the other so called 2 would be a big gamble in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
