Has it been mentioned anywhere what Wimmer’s (and Koc’s) contract term is? I’d imagine it would be at least 2.5 years, rather than the rolling deals that SK and SF had.

I see Frail left today with a dignified statement. Cheers, Stevie.

The new manager should spend the next 10 days cancelling loans and kicking arses. Teaching the remaining players how to pass and defend the ball would also be a bonus.

McGinn’s contract expires in the summer and he’ll be 35 in October. He’s currently a big loss but I doubt the new manager will offer him a new deal.

His problem yesterday wasn’t a lack of fingers, it was that he’d dipped all his fingers in butter.

Both Lieberknecht and the guy spotted sitting beside the Chairman appear to have big ears.

If the new manager was watching Balcombe yesterday, he would be mad not to start Ward at the next match.

After witnessing that today, I fear that the ghost of SK is going to haunt us for at least 18 months.

Appalling. We’re utterly fucked.

Is Paul Daniels still alive?

Good. All the coaches and head of recruitment can go too.

Frail and 30/33 of that squad should go as well. That was embarrassing.

If it’s between him and Ketsbaia, I’d hope the former gets it, although my preference is Ian ‘Barrowcelona’ Evatt.

If Frail has spent the past 2 weeks working on a 4-3-3, and deploys that tactic today, then perhaps we could assume that’s his job application submitted…

Kettsbyebye to be replaced with Ketsbaia... I blame @grizzlyg for that. Sorry.

Yep. Polishing a ginormous turd for weeks on end takes its toll.

I wouldn't worry about their view of this forum, particularly given some of them often chat banal pish about their favourite pies and toast.

Imagine the seethe should the club announce Frail to the end of the season at 5pm on Friday. Then again, I suppose that scenario could be acceptable(?) should the club have an identified preferred candidate who can’t start until the summer.

A team should defend as a unit, and that often starts in the middle of the park. And I’d love to hear how you think continuing with Kettlewell’s approach will stop us losing goals.

If Frail doesn’t move away from the back 5, we can only assume he’s either blind or stupid.

Kettlewell has been described as ‘dynamic’ by a current employee. Be careful what you wish for.

If they want the 2025/26 season ticket sales to take a hit, they’ll not appoint a new manager this week.

Given how unprepared the Board were for Kettlewell’s departure, I’m not confident they saw anything wrong with Kettlewell’s (and Frail’s) failing style of play. That’s the overriding concern for me.

Many of the frequent users of the P&B Motherwell thread regularly criticise Steelmen Online, suggest that it’s beneath them, and preen themselves from their ivory tower of faux superiority. Couple that with their chasni pie etc chat, and it can become rather nauseating, which is a shame because that forum also has a few insightful users. It’s obvious that the P&B thread often displays many of the same issues that plague this thread and, in reality, neither forum is better/worse than the other when it comes to discussing certain topics.

When you consider that Arteta is a bit of a prick, it makes sense. Biereth deserves to go to the top. His levels of effort when playing for the ‘Well didn’t go unnoticed.
