Stuwell2 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Out of curiosity, how often is the pitch played on? Is it only first team games or are other games played on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general first team games only but the women may play on it once or twice at chosen moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kettlewell made millions of pounds for the club by developing Lennon Miller and Theo Bair. He also signed our most important player in Maswanhise who will also make us millions, and has basically been the goalscorer that's enabled JBA to be as successful as he has been. So essentially JBA's time at our club will be bankrolled by Kettlewell's 'incompetence' as you put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted 41 minutes ago Report Share Posted 41 minutes ago Kettlewell wasn't a bad manager for us. When he first came in he did what everyone was screaming for Hammell to do and played a 352 which ultimately kept us in the league. Second season he developed Theo Bair into a 15 goal a season ST to replace KVV who he sold for 500K . Developed Lennon Miller and had Blair Spittal performing to a very high standard. We finished 8th but weren't in any real danger. Season 3 he sold Theo Bair for 1.5m brought in Maswanhise got us to a cup semi final and had us in the top 6 although we were probably about to drop out it when he resigned. His main issues were he tried to turn Lennon Miller into a 10 for god knows what reason, had no idea what to do with Maswanhise he could tell he was talented but had no idea how to use him in his 541. His main flaw he insisted on using a 541 with absolutely no pace in the side which allowed teams to dominate the game and continued that at Killie who I actually think had they not sacked him when they did would be a couple points better off. He got us 6M odd in transfer fees over his spell (I've added the Miller money in as he platformed him and gave him his chance in the team) I didn't enjoy his football but he was a decent enough Motherwell manager and saved the club from relegation when it looked likely. JBA is a far better coach than SK ever will be but that doesn't mean he was awful. The last Motherwell manager I properly disliked was Graham Alexander because it was an absolutely chronic watch. Getting knocked out the Confrence league of Sligo Rovers who had been beaten of our u21s a year or 2 prior was probably reason enough for that alone.
