Next Motherwell Manager - Steven Hammell
twistandshout1983 replied to Wellfan90's topic in Club Chat
Noticed on the Well Facebook page last night when Stevie was appointed that Colin ONeill had said Burrows should go Bit OTT in my opinion -
Very tough game in prospect tomorrow , we do though have a very decent record up there in recent years Hopeful of coming away with at least a draw

Respect also , and this was another great occasion despite the result Will always remember these type of games -

My dad was a Rangers fan also though had not been to a live game for about 8 years and had become scunnered with the OF , though quite the opposite as after he went to his first game with me supporting the Well he enjoyed it so much that he kept going back , bought the season ticket and was as glad as anyone when we won the playoffs His last win seeing the Well at Hampden before he passed on was the 2-0 semi in 2017 which was a great day -

I am happy with the appointment, obviously has no managerial experience though everybody has to start somewhere Hopefully it works out in the long run, as I don’t believe anyone would be as committed to Motherwell as Steven Hammell -

At the end of the day I would like to see the best candidate who was available at the time appointed After the results in 2022 and the football we have watched at times I would be quite happy to see anyone take charge who will get fans happy to go back watching the team and if results are not always the greatest then at least show a bit of fight and commitment -

I seem to remember McCall as well taking pelters on a regular basis especially the season 13/14 when we were second in the league at the time One thing I do remember from back then is how frustrated we would get as a fan base at getting knocked out the cups in the first game , despite finishing 3rd, 2nd, 2nd. It was almost like a proper chance to win silverware when you looked at the teams who won stuff in those years His record against Rangers was dire , though I suppose he could get a result against Celtic, 3 wins and 2 draws Nowadays we don’t beat either of course -

I definitely don’t hate the guy , I just wouldn’t want the baggage, but at the same time I could say the same about the likes of Barry Ferguson The guy has a lot of people in this country who don’t like him for purely bigoted reasons that I never agree with , do remember Craig Brown saying he is a likeable guy and I know he has suffered from a lot of mental health issues in the past Being honest now if he got us a half decent team to watch maybe all the past is forgotten, and if he beats Rangers a few times so much the better , I don’t believe he is even interested in the job though and it is simply Craggs putting his name forward -

Not Lennon for me , too much baggage involved there and would bring unwanted publicity to the club Nothing to do with the Celtic connection either -

Seen Big Dunc was on sky last night and said he has been waiting for a managerial job coming up , I don’t think for a minute it will be him as I seem to remember him saying he never would play or manage in Scotland and had an issue with the SFA but wouldn’t be surprised either if he ends up in Scotland one day I am sure there is going to be a decision before the Aberdeen game and tbh I honestly think it is probably going to be someone unexpected, probably not been mentioned -

This is exactly my thoughts as well , as much as I liked McCall who did an excellent job overall I have no doubt if he had stayed on that season we would have lost those playoff games . In the cup game a few seasons before he had us beaten before a ball was kicked with a very negative outlook when most were tipping us for a win -

Prefer our managers to be ones that haven’t played for either Celtic or Sevco if we can avoid it, while I will of course still get behind them the sooking up to them can get really annoying at times Stuart McCall was the prime example of this -

Could do worse than Paul Lambert in my opinion, plenty of experience If we win on Saturday though Stevie must be in with a great shout -

Hopefully not Darren O’Dea Last time the Well gave him a job he left months later to go back to Celtic -
Glad to get 3 points from that game, against a side who have been a bit of a bogey team for us in the past , was convinced after the sending off they would score in injury time Liam Kelly saved us on a number of occasions Would be quite happy if Hammell is still in charge next weekend which I think he will be

Definete penalty, and what a save from Kelly

Robbo due on Sportsound in the next few minutes to talk about the speculation -

I would be absolutely shocked if Robinson ends up back as manager so quickly Wouldnt say I would be against the idea either, but definetly feel a fresh approach is needed at this moment in time Something completly different from recent reasons -

Someone in my work as well earlier asked me if I thought Billy Davies as well would be a good shout, unsure of that one though I have this video in my head now Not Motherwell related in any way -

Heard Duncan Ferguson being mentioned a few times, in my opinion we could do worse as he has plenty coaching experience at Everton and left that position as he is desperate for a manager job though at the same time no doubt would be unpopular choice with some , I think Hammell will be a safe pair of hands in the short term, nobody knows the club better Hopefully not the usual candidates like Jim Duffy, Neil McCann, Billy Dodds etc -
I found this strange also , surprised by the fact he moved to Turkey when not settled here, definetly more to that one I think
-
I was sitting on the fence to see how things go, had my doubts in the second half of last season though definitely in the Alexander out brigade now, I don’t think it is all down to him though if he stays in charge I can see a long struggle to avoid relegation this year Expect St Mirren to get a result at the weekend as I can sense Robbo will have St Mirren fired up for this game
-
Quite happy with this draw, but no doubting this is going to be a very tough game

Favourite Well games of the past

Another one of my favourite games , Faddy was sensational that day I still think back to the 4-3 defeat to Rangers in the Scottish cup semi final that season thinking if only Clarkson had put that chance away to make it 3-1 just before half time we would have won that, remember being disappointed losing but bursting with pride we had gave such a good account of ourselves that day and would have been in with a good shout against Dundee in that years final -

Glad this inspired you, I found your channel through a recent Facebook post and have been watching the uploads on a daily basis The 6-1 against Hearts was a great favourite of mine also , along with the 2-1 v Celtic and 1-0 v Rangers in the same season The start of the 02/03 season we were in dire straits yet despite a lot of poor results that season there was a definite fighting spirit in that side
