Or just be really really nice to him. Even after we win 4 - 1.

Yes,Probably best way to sicken him is a good gubbing

Soon as i heard Johnny K is back then that was it for old Kettlebellend easiest three points we shall get all season and if Killie end the game with eleven players on the pitch it shall be a modern day miracle they are not handelling the Just without picking up cards.

 

Slatts,Johnny K and Longelo in a convincing 3-0 win.

Jens was asked about Kettlewell and said that anyone who left Motherwell if they return to the ground should be treated with respect (not just Kettlewell) and the most important thing is the football. He also said he didn't know much about the issues - he comes across as a very nice person

In fairness he was hardly going to say “ya I’ve heard that this Stuart guy was a bit of a wank and he said some shit about the fans when he left so we hope we can create more misery for him on Saturday”.

But in all seriousness he does come across very well and very professional. Let’s just hope we can get our first league win with him in charge under our belts on Saturday.

JBA could definitely take him in a fight.

We can only hope. The ban would be worth it.  I'll even pay for the statue.

Kettlewell spends five minutes explaining why it’s definitely not about him.

Definitely think the fans should treat this as a normal game and forget/ignore SK being their manager. No banners, no songs, no abuse just focus on supporting our team. Let’s just get 3 points cause that’s really what matters. 
COYW!!!!!

100% this. We should have Fir Park jumping with positivity about the JBA team and approach. Our fanbase supporting in an uplifting atmosphere that SK could never achieve. That alone will deflate him.

Exactly this, until we win 3-0 and give him it tight at full time 🤣 in all fairness, Kettlewell didn’t bother me a great deal when he was  manager and I think he worked hard and did his best until the final few weeks and his ridiculous petted lip, so I’ll not be giving him too much stick and Stevie Frail is also his assistant who showed quite a bit of class at the end with us, so he is always welcome back.

Ran to The Sun newspaper for an exclusive  nothing decent about that me thinks.

But folk need to behave themselves on Saturday and embrace the beautiful football we are going to play and pocket three points.

Im another one who didnt mind Kettlewell too much whilst he was here. He did work bloody hard and did his best whilst here. The results and performances initially were very good. But his last 6 months were horrendous. His stubbornous to change, his downfall. And the way he left unforgiveable.

Letting Saturday be about him though would be a distraction from what is really important, getting our first 3 points of the season.

Once thats in the bag he becomes fair game and should get both barrells!

Until then, just back the team like we did against the dead club and we will be fine.

I didn't either. I've seen a few folk on Facebook saying he should expect abuse but that's just pointless in my view.

Greetings folks as I enjoy holiday cocktail, yup despite my views I don't want him getting stick as plays into his hands.  Dignity by deacon blue not his favourite song as he certainly didn't leave with any. .  Just pump them and spend 90 mins singing JB songs....YAMMAS!

He deserves every bit of criticism he may get for being dishonest and disrespectful. If it happens on Saturday, it will not make Motherwell fans look bad but show us standing up for ourselves. And if he thinks that justifies his previous opinions and lies, then so be it. He is a twat.

Of course he deserves criticism. But its got nothing to do with Motherwell fans showing themselves up. Its got everything to do with providing a distraction from what is important. Ignore him. Win the game. Gloat later. 

[wellgirl]

I'm not going to boo him. Will reflect badly on our support if we do. Headlines horrible Motherwell fans booed Kettlewell. I couldn't care less about him now. Time to move on

And here I thought a home crowd creating an intimidating atmosphere for the visitors was a positive.

We can do that without targetting Kettlewell. He wasnt the manager of Rangers and the atmosphere was great at that game.......

Edit: I have no issues with us giving him it tight at the end of  the game if we have won. He has certainly earned it......
