Nobody cares if managers are arrogant when they're winning. In fact, they embrace them as being "a character" and "a breath of fresh air". When they aren't winning, fans use their arrogance as the stick to beat them with. As for The Daily Mail, there isn't enough money on the planet that would make me click a link on that publication.

I’ve always believed Alexander to be an arrogant prick, and his sudden reappearance in this debate only confirms it. As for Kettlewell, his conduct around his Motherwell exit and the ensuing media charade revealed him to be both cowardly and dishonest. Given how both have singled out Motherwell fans as the villains in a sport full of difficult fanbases, I genuinely hope neither enjoys much success in their managerial careers.

Aw fek ,did he no mention his team was shite , playing absolute shite and totally unprepared for the start of the season . Then paped out of Europe by amateurs with no idea how to turn it around . Let down a large travelling support that day as well , no wonder he was getting shouted at . Sounds like sour grapes too me . Suck it up n get on with your life in Bradford . I certainly don’t care. edit , found his quote on the Motherwell FC site when we announced he was leaving 29 July 22 . Was he lying then or is he lying now. Graham added: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Motherwell and leave with nothing but good wishes for the club in the future.

How soft is the paper?

Thats very nice. Wouldnt be upset with that at all. Petrol blue would probably be more in keeping with our previous efforts, but not sure how historically accurate they really were. Off course the sponsor is gonna spoil it anyway, so........😆😆😆

Post a review and ask for a refund.

I was going to say that. I did notice it on the claret training top sleeves and the black training top as well.

I have the Well Worth a Mention book It was a great read , I would definitely give that a 💯 rating 👍

One of the posters on here made that motherwellnet.com website which contains most of the clubs history, I'm sure they said previously that even people on eBay steal the photos and info and post things on the platform for a quick buck. There is another 'Well book on Amazon by a self published author - Well Worth a Mention it was titled but the content is mainly focused on players who rarely featured but seems to be players from the 90s onwards that was a decent enough read.

I agree with you Not so bothered about a refund etc , just made the post to stop at the very least 1 Well fan from buying this Others down the years have tried very hard to bring pleasure to Well fans with material that was accurate, and much more worthy of the cash

Amazon has the platform for anyone to self publish a book quickly now. That guy seems to be churning out the books so I am assuming he is doing that but using AI to quickly piece together the content. I'd demand your cash back from Amazon.

1st spell 18 yrs, 2nd 10 yrs, who cares as I said ancient history.

18 years ago!? Numbers aren't your strong point, eh?

Wah Wah Wah It’s something relevant to the club I support so I will comment on it whenever it comes up. And as far as I can see two other posters have also contributed to this particular discussion today so we can put your claim that “nobody gives a toss apart from you, apparently” firmly to bed and tuck it in with a nice wee cup of cocoa and a lullaby to help it along its way. So like I say…Wah Wah Wah

Vaguely reminiscent of the pattern on our 1991 kit.

Its all ancient history ffs nobody gives a toss apart from you apparently, so can we start discussing the present challenges facing the club, and not what some long forgotten manager allegedly said or did 18 years ago

I mean at that moment in time he handled the situation with dignity , nobody would have been expecting anything different to be fair from any manager in our history. The worst day I have ever had at Fir Park. Nothing is close I was referring to the way he disregarded travelling fans off at Falkirk the following season. He just here to manage the team , not please the fans The comments about managing Liverpool , silly as they were . Nobody truly believed it what he was saying Various other things of course

Aye, he showed a bit of human decency, offered some leadership. I suspect many other Motherwell managers would have been equally capable of handling what was a horrible situation...

Folk say this all the time when talking about McGhee. What would he (or whoever might have been incharge at the time) have had to have done (or said) for people to say anything otherwise?

First season in 2007/8 was great and way he carried club through uncle Phil tragedy was immense and I will always be grateful to him for that. Then believed his own hype 2nd season and it went downhill. Burrows bringing him back was unbelievable but we move on

I’ve never felt as disconnected and basically scunnered with the club as I did during McGhee’s second stint. He was clearly only brought back because of good relations with people in high places at Fir Park and despite achieving top six (commendable, on paper anyway) in 2015 his attitude and comments towards and about the club sullied that. “Let me be clear here, that is the reason why and please do not misinterpret me here, why I am managing Motherwell today and not Liverpool” whilst sitting in the club tracksuit in a pre-match press conference. We would go on to lose that match 6-0 and not win another game for six weeks and we would suffer losses of 7-0, 5-0, 7-2 and 5-1(at home to DUNDEE) before he was emptied in February 2017. People talk about Kettlewell throwing the fans under the bus - and he did - but he was nothing compared to that utter prick with the way he acted towards the club. McGhee should never, ever be welcome at Fir Park again under any circumstances.

Very true. It was a mistake ever bringing Mark McGhee back second time around I am no fan of him either , the way he handled the Uncle Phil tragedy he has my biggest respect on that forever . Some of his silly stupid comments in the years later stick in the mind Was almost a relief when he left first time and dare I say it Jim Gannon came in. Now that is someone else who could split opinion lol

The turnaround McGhee overseen during summer ‘07 was incredible. The team that kicked off at Love Street on the opening day of 07/08 immediately looked significantly fitter and disciplined and despite containing several players who had finished the previous season and we went on to have an incredible season. Unfortunately McGhee proved to be an absolute wank of a man who treated the club and the support with contempt during his second season and second stint but the impact he had in his initial stint can’t be understated.

True , I remember that St Mirren game . The infamous game when people through the season tickets on Remember speaking to one Well fan I worked with on the day Malpas left He had been watching the team pre Tommy McLean era and was absolutely scunnered to the fact he didn't want to watch anymore 2007/2008 was much better
