Grievesie Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I hear that Gordon Marshall has joined the backroom staff as Keeper coach, Anyone know whats happened to Stewart Kerr? Good to have the Marsh back at the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Marsh was sitting a few rows behind me on Sunday. Not heard a thing about Stewart Kerr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Heard in the pub before the game on Sunday that Kerso went to visit his wife and kids in Canada when the season finished and has yet to return. Not sure how reliable this story is. Will be gutted if we have Marshall in instead of Kerso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebsbarmyarmy Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 My sentiments exactly. Didn't exactly set the Heather alight at Hibs with his goalkeeping charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 a good appointment. in his book big tel talks about how big an influence marhsall was in the dressing room and how he gave the team talk at 90 mins in the hearts semi. delighted to have him back at the club.

Dee Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Why gutted, Dee? Maybe gutted would be an over-exaduration but I think Kerso showed last season how fantastic a goalie coach he is. Yes, it was Randolph who racked up the cleansheets but that also has a lot to do with his mentor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesacs Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 i see where you are coming from Dee.................but Stevie Woods was "not the best" goalie, and he is meant to be a fantastic GK coach I may be wrong, but as soon as Marsh made the move from Fir PArk to Easter Road - he knew straight away that he had made a mistake theres nothing to say Marshall wont bring Randolph on a little more and get us that big money move that we are all hoping for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 theres nothing to say Marshall wont bring Randolph on a little more and get us that big money move that we are all hoping for Speak for yourself, I'm in no way looking for a big money move for Randolph or any other player, I'm looking for them all to hang about and hit testimonials with over 500 appearances for Motherwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well_Fan_In_Aberdeen Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Be interesting to find out what happened to Kerr. He should definitely be given credit for both Randolphs clean sheet record and the performances of Hollis. Was it not on Kerrs recommendation that we signed Hollis??

postiejim Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 http://www.perthshireadvertiser.co.uk/perthshire-sport/sport-news-front/2011/08/09/st-johnstone-goalkeeping-coach-moves-to-motherwell-73103-29200525/ St Johnstone goalkeeping coach moves to Motherwell Aug 9 2011 by Gordon Bannerman, Perthshire Advertiser Tuesday Motherwell lure keeper coach ST JOHNSTONE’S respected goalkeeping coach Gordon Marshall has been lured to a full-time post by SPL rivals Motherwell. The one-time Kilmarnock, Celtic and Scotland man has been an important element of the Perth coaching team since arriving from Hibs. But Fir Park boss Stuart McCall made his move and the offer of a full-time contract. It’s an early season blow for manager Derek McInnes, with keepers Peter Enckelman and new recruit Alan Mannus rivals for the first team jersey this season. Yesterday, McInnes admitted: “It is disappointing to lose Marsh to Motherwell but he was offered a full-time role at Fir Park. We always ran the risk of losing him if a club came in for him with that sort of contract. “He has been a valued member of the coaching staff and we all enjoyed working with him. He has been a positive influence on our goalkeepers, whether they were youngsters or more experienced men. We wish him well in his new post.” McInnes is now casting around potential replacements to fill the gap left by Marshall’s departure.

Bop Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I doubt we'd have two full time GK coaches on the payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Disappointed to see Kerr go if that is indeed the case, he appeared to be a good influence for both Randolph and Hollis. IIRC, Kerr had been looking at options abroad so maybe something materialised? Never had any time for Marshall as a player and his coaching CV doesn't fill me with optimism.

postiejim Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Gordon Marshall makes Fir Park return Tuesday, August 9, 2011 Motherwell FC can confirm that Gordon Marshall has returned to the club to take up the role of goalkeeping coaching. Marshall had an excellent two years at Fir Park as a player between 2003 and 2005 – enjoying notable success reaching the top-six twice in succession, the 2005 CIS Cup Final and a starring performance in 'Skippy Sunday' in the same year. The 47-year old former Scotland International will replace Stuart Kerr who has left the club for family reasons. Marshall, speaking exclusively to motherwellfc.co.uk said, "I am delighted to be back as I enjoyed such a happy time here as a player. "I am also getting to work with one of the best 'keepers in the country in Darren Randolph so it's an exciting time. I am delighted to be back as I enjoyed such a happy time here as a player. "The club has changed quite a bit since I left, but very much for the better. I like to think I played a part in that process eight years ago. We had just come out of administration under Terry Butcher and managed two great seasons; getting to a Cup Final. "'Well have been on an upward trail since and has enjoyed some terrific success. I am hoping that I can once again add to that – passing on some of the knowledge I have gained over my career, particularly to the young up-and-coming goalkeepers at the club." Motherwell Football Club would like to sincerely thank Stuart Kerr for all his hard work whilst at Fir Park and wish him every success in his future career.

postiejim Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Cup finals aside i always thought Gordon Marshall was a decent goalkeeper and i cant see any reason why he wont be a decent goalkeeping coach. Problem wi Hibs is they have had crap keepers for years widnea matter who the coach was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Was never a fan of his goalkeeping but that doesn't mean he won't be a good goalkeeping coach. Similar to Stevie Woods and even Colin Meldrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdalli10 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 that lobbed goal that ict scored from miles out in the scottish cup 1/4 final at fir park still gives me nightmares even so welcome back big man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorey Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Stewart Kerr moved to Canada to be with his wife and kids who emigrated there a wee while back. He was originally meant to be going with them but was then offered the job at Motherwell so he opted to stay behind for a wee while before heading out there on a permanent basis.
