Spiderpig Posted Monday at 11:09 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:09 PM Now that SK is history and a percentage of the forum members will be struggling for things to post until we have someone else in place, who would we like to be appointed? The good, the bad and the never under any circumstances contenders, thoughts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted Monday at 11:41 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:41 PM I like what John McGlynn and Rhys MacCabe have been doing. And Ian Murray had a good spell at Raith. I'd be surprised, however, to see any of them installed. It's strange for us to be shedding a manager while in a decent spot in the league, so not sure if we'll be looking for a "consolidation safe pair of hands" or "expansive footballing man promoting the youngsters".

Kmcalpin Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:18 AM Its very hard to say. We don't have a low down on out of work English managers or foreign possibilities. Also which Scottish managers with other clubs are not under contract or if they are would be "amenable to being approached"? John McGlynn has a patchy record in management and fans of Hearts, Livingston and certainly Raith Rovers might have something to say. Of the early names to be mentioned I'd say Scott Brown could be a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellgirl Posted Tuesday at 12:24 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:24 AM For me it's too early to say at this point. Not Rhys McCabe though. Or Scott Brown - or Martindale. Airdrie are tenth in the championship - sorry but McCabe is a no from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted Tuesday at 01:54 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:54 AM Angie might be looking for a new job soon. 😂 He seems to be the polar opposite of SK in that he’s totally fixated on attack and that’s what his downfall is going to be.

The African Posted Tuesday at 03:41 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:41 AM I have given this issue some thought and have approached it from the position of who has the necessary skills and attributes to fill the role. Given that the two qualities that I have identified as being crucial in any candidate are those pf outstanding leadership and having a particularly thick skin, the somewhat left field solution I have come up with is Babar the elephant. The biggest stumbling block may be our inability to lure him away from his current position as king of the elephants. No? Okay, Stuart Baxter? What's he doing these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfan Posted Tuesday at 08:37 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:37 AM I don’t see anything other than Frail being made ‘interim manager’ until the end of the season, along with the current coaches etc. That scenario, which may or may not be pretty, will give the club a decent amount of time and space to find the right candidates for the entire management and coaching team for next season. The pool of potential candidates will also be better by the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benson Posted Tuesday at 09:40 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:40 AM Thought all the folk that were desperate for ketts to leave would have been on here with their suggestions,pretty quiet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted Tuesday at 09:40 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:40 AM This was my issue if we did sack Kettlewell, who would we get that was better? I know I mentioned Lennon who I think would do ok but I don’t know if I necessarily want him? every name mentioned I don’t fancy Mcglynn McCabe Brown…… no thanks. Someone even mentioned imrie lol….. he fkn hates Motherwell lol then we have the usual van der gaag stuff…. Christ knows what’s for the best, I don’t envy the person or group choosing him as I have a feeling they’ll be slaughtered by a number of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like this 100% more than the other names mentioned. an experienced manager with contacts (not lenses) would be beneficial for us as a club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted Tuesday at 10:57 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:57 AM Whoever gets job there needs to be a total reset from some of fanbase.

santheman Posted Tuesday at 11:35 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:35 AM Frail probably has 3/4 games to show what he can do. Thats assuming he would be interested in throwing his hat into the ring. Will be interesting to see if he has a different mindset in terms of tactics and formation to Kettlewell and gets a reaction from the players. Long term who knows but don't think it will be any of the ones mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pocket of people at most going over the top more so the cup game than anything else.I am no excusing any form of abuse but the stuff I have seen and heard is nothing more than I have heard from other fans of other teams.

And it's worked, he's now the victim a good manager forced out of a job by the foul mouthed fans. As a rule anything written about football clubs outwith the ugly sisters by the west of Scotland media is best ignored as its mainly pandering bullshit with a blue or green tinge depending on what "big team" the journo supports. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the way that I feel. Let's remember the facts here. 1. Put out the cup by the bottom of the league with a whimper. Fans boo. He effectively states they know nothing, effectively inciting them. 2. Lose to the bottom of the league with a whimper. Already irritated fans give him abuse after being incited. Walks his ticket out of the door covering up the cracks. 3. Our whiter than white board, wet behind the ears board, help him with his narrative and against the FAN OWNED club. What I will say is well played Stuart Kettlewell, came out looking like the victim. He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
