Radio Scotland? They've been saying it's a great result for us and what a brilliant job Kettlewell's done. Even Peter Grant said how well we played.

This could get sore.

Christ almighty, Kelly, that's ludicrous.

I see why we shouldn't get carried away, but Kettlewell isn't Hammell, so we shouldn't automatically expect the wheels to fall off either. Holloway should never have got near the job in the first place. One look at what went on with Grimsby tells you he's not the guy we need. As for McCann, he's had successful spells, but he also has 2 relegations on his CV, no managerial experience of the Scottish game and will have worked with a budget way above anything we can come up with. There's little chance he'd sign a short term deal, and if we did go down, would anyone want him hanging around? Kettlewell's a risk, but so is any appointment, and what choice do we have? 'We don't know' isnae an option.

That would help explain how they knocked us out. Was it bigger than Dundee United's?

Apart from the 2 wins when we are in the dug shit. Fair enough, but we need someone in charge, so who would you fancy?

It's not his only management experience. He was co-manager when Ross County won the Championship title.

You'd go with their choice if it was Holloway?

Better get a move on, Dundee Utd will be looking for somebody anaw shortly.

Aye, the whole thing sounds like a disaster. Didn't come up with the money he promised and left them in 20th place with the fans complaining about a bloated, shit squad (sounds familiar). They were also the first team in England to be fined for breaching Covid rules - the players weren't social distancing and Holloway was playing darts with them as a team bonding exercise.

Any word on whether he's investing £100,000 in us, like he did in Grimsby Town? Sorry, claimed he would.

He wouldn't be my dream manager by any stretch. Doubt you'd find many, if any, on here who'd have him top of their list. But that list is the problem - how many realistic candidates are interested? Salary wise, mibbe we can find the money to pay someone decent, but if those guys look at the squad we have and find out we have a recruitment budget that matches it in shitness, which decent manager will take the job? If you were on the board, who would you go for right now?

Ian Holloway shouldn't get a sniff at the job. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/ian-holloway-inside-story-grimsby-4828611

They get sacked that often it's hard to keep track 😁 I just hope Kettlewell gets a better reaction from the team than Lasley got when Robinson left....

Kettlewell was co-manager with Steven Ferguson after McIntyre and Dodds were sacked in 2018.

What was their connection at County?

Why Mackay?

Technical assistant coach of the youth set-up. Does he clean the whiteboard or hand out bibs?

I'd struggle to see why he'd come here now. Which just highlights the change in both clubs' fortunes.

Holloway signed Bilel Mohsni and said he would be his Virgil van Dijk. No ta.

Agreed, but he's in charge for Wednesday now.

I'd love to hear if anyone still has any belief in Hammell turning this around - and if so, why.

Fuck right off.

Just to rub it in, Jordan White scores. 1-1.

We're desperate for a win, he'll be desperate not to lose.
