I have no doubt about all of those things about Kettlewell but he went down in my estimation with the way he left the club and basically throwing support under a bus to cover up his failings.
We move on. I really like Wimmer, comes across as a really good guy and ahmut a great assistant and link between players and manager. Looking forward to seeing what players we sign
We stayed up. We got higher in the league than a lot of people gave us credit for - that's a win in my book. I'll be happy to see the end of this season too - but I'm not sure what people are expecting. If we were as crap as some people think we are we would be bottom of the table. And just before anyone tries to rinse me over my point of view (not particularly you). I'm as unhappy as lots of people on here - I just don't get what's to be gained from constantly slagging the players off. We're safe - and hopefully there will be a decent rebuild next season
The time for MW to take a team forward, is when its got a majority of his own choice players in it, those comfortable with the style he wants to play etc.
Seeing out the season with what he inherited to avoid relegation and the playoffs was the main target, that he has achieved so next it's the rebuild, then we move forward.
Just renewed my season ticket by phone. An easy process. I asked the member of staff who dealt with me about the online options. She admitted they were confusing but that was the way it was set up and couldn't be changed. For those with a swipe card who wish to renew, the correct option is to "collect at Fir Park" or so I was told. That way the card is simply updated electronically.
This really needs to be sorted out, as the process should be as easy as possible.
I also am as frustrated as anyone this year. But there have been comments on here this year about how spineless the team are and how they would never win against St Johnstone and then Dundee - and they did. If Motherwell are so rubbish all of the time then why have we got safety for the 41st season in a row
I was also talking to a couple of people from the well society last week re Kettlewell. They had nothing but good things to say about him. They said that he was very involved with the community and he used to send players out to see fans who were unwell and who might never see another game again. They had nothing but good things to say about him. That he genuinely cared about the fan base and the wider community.
They were genuinely sorry he was gone even if it might have been for the best in the long run. They spoke very highly of him and the way he conducted himself around the club. I get why people are sore at the way he left - but he's been rinsed all over social media when people who knew him were gutted that he left.
It's just got really negative lately and right now there are people calling for Wimmer to be sacked elsewhere on social media. Because we aren't higher in the table. I personally can't understand that
(I honestly can't be arsed right now. I've never seen it so negative and it's got nothing to do with Kettlewell, the fact that people are calling for Wimmers head less than three months in is a nonsense in my view)
I know I shouldn't say this as a supporter but I really couldn't give a flying fuck about this game. I'm fed up watching utter pish and the same ineptitude from the same squad of players. Every week's it's pretty much rinse and repeat with the occasional rise above mediocre crap. I just want this season ended.
Wimmer might not have any say in extensions but by Christ he has a say in the Tony Watts of the world.I can't believe folk on here saying offer terms why cause he had two decent games this whole season.I have seen folk say offer Thompson terms good god people that's utter mental.
There is a reason we are in the position we are Kettlewell and injuries can't be blamed for everything.
What's next Callaghan because he has been fantastic on the physio table a real asset to the club.
