What technology are we using to allow us to progress then? Or was that the only random German phrase you could find?

Massive game for the club,, to see how the players respond to the new manager we've beaten untd 3 times already this season so here's hoping for a 4th sucess coyw.

SK THE NAUGHTY MANAGER : Once upon a time there was a football manager who had run out of ideas, could not stop the teams losing streak and was losing the dressing room decided to resign and make up a tale about personal abuse to try to save his tarnished reputation. The gullible media and some of the people believed him, etc etc aye it's all true whatever.

Agreed but I wonder what his goal celebration will be on Saturday especially if it's at the away end 🤔

Can this thread be binned now, who gives a feck what Kettlewell does for the rest of his career, he's no longer involved with Motherwell.

I see Kris Doolan has been sacked by Partick Thistle, I assume that Kettlewell will be put forward as a front runner for the job, with all those nice well mannered jags fans.

100% this Balcome gives me the fear big time.

I watched it for 30 seconds and turned it off, classic i was the victim stuff trying to salvage his reputation and the alleged interviewer pandering to him making it worse. Tbf it's the sun so there was no chance he was going to be asked any hard questions ie did you think you could turn the slump in form round etc. Kettlewell will be judged on his next job in management if any what will the papers say when he walks or gets punted from his next gig. Time to bin this thread he's history.

I think we are currently more like the vital spark than a super tanker Dave, puffing along and not getting very far. Hopefully we get the new manager bounce and get a decent result.

He must be fed up working with Greg Wallace on masterchef, good that he's concentrating on the football. https://images.app.goo.gl/zV5tVbChLPEQ43W3A

To be fair, The records of our last 3 managers were not that good either, its a new approach, so let's see what he brings to the club, hopefully stability, building a decent squad and maybe some entertaining football as a bonus, time will tell. How long has he got before the usual suspects are on here wanting him out?

It's Van der gaag according to the BBC gossip, seemingly the German guy has withdrawn and does not want the job Van der Gaag set for Motherwell job - gossip - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/ce3n350w9veo

There's a big difference from looking good to actually being good, as the fact that they are below us demonstrates.

He had his chance, the occasional good game but for me he was not that good, so he would probably be a regular starter in the current team.

Knowledge of the Scottish game would be a bonus, but not essential. Any half competent coach / manager should be able to assess a player's basic ability and application very quickly and determine if they will fit the style he wants to play, so I expect a clear out given the shite we are currently seeing.

Time will tell on that statement, the immediate priority of whoever comes in is to avoid us getting dragged into a relegation fight, the real work starts in the summer. There will no doubt be a massive clear out and the new management can build their team and set their own style of play etc. I hope the club gets the appointment right as we need a period of stability going forward to really build a team and get away from the constant churn of managers and players we've had with Alexander, Hammell and Kettlewell.

A manager of good pedigree to be announced tomorrow, according to Frail https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/14347739/major-update-motherwell-manager-stevie-frail/

No not a member, never joined the WS as I've never agreed with it from the start, our fanbase is too small to make it effective.

That's your problem right there with that statement.

So you were in favour of the Barmack offer then? The lunatics would definitely have been in charge if the offer had been accepted.

Sparrow for me, with a mention for Armstrong oh and Balcome gives me the fear big time, he is dreadful

Just keep an eye on the press photographer's if they are pointing their lenses at the POD, the new manager will be there, either that or you see a few of them outside upper crust before the game.

It was SK who decided to have a meltdown and walk, I got the impression that taking advice from Frail or anyone else was not something he did. So maybe if he had he would still be in charge.

It seems we have a shortlist for prospective managers Ketsbaia on Motherwell shortlist - Thursday's gossip - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c5yen39z1w8o

Maybe our new inexperienced board and WS reps etc are actually doing their due diligence going through each application instead of lining the forms up and using the good guy, good guy, w**k approach to sift out the dross first.
