Not sure where this has come from and probably just a lot of nonsense.

Roy Keane.....He'd kick some ass...!

[Just_Jimmy]

I watched a terrace podcast this morning about hibs and the game on Sunday and they kind of eluded to someone waiting in the wings and how they always thought that was the case, personally if it was Keane I think there’s no chance malky stays around and I think that would be too much for us to say we got wrong this early on all at onceWho's calling for SDG to be sacked like?

Even fans like me who think he should never have got the job and feel he's miles out his depth and the team is garbage want him to succeed and not be sacked. I haven't seen or heard one fan say he should be sacked.

Roy Keane is a trumpet.

Can't believe he lasted two and a half years there. Who is next for the poison chalice that is Man United? They have been steadily been getting worse since Fergusson retired. Can they still attract a big name to manage the club? Ruben Amorim early favourite.

Does he speak any English at all? Genuine question, it'll be tough in the beginning if he doesn't.

Basket case of a club. Any top manager should think long and hard before putting their CV at risk taking that job.

[Billy Whizz]

Is he the German Manager

I can think of 7 million reasons a year why all the top coaches would be quite happy to 'risk' it.

If I was Man Utd right now I'd be going for Thomas Frank.

Of course but elite coaches will be extremely well paid wherever they go these days. Old Trafford is becoming a bit of a graveyard for managerial reputations.

I suppose the one who comes along and eventually turns things around for that club will be seen as a genius. It's a very difficult job. The whole structure of the club seems to be a mess. Not unlike our own!

[Donegal Hibby]

I doubt they’d get him though if I was a a Man Utd fan the one I’d want to see Utd go for is Unai Emery .

No chance Emery leaves Villa this season.

[J-C]

Just been reading about the money he's spent in 2.5 years £401M, £85 of that on Anthony(original value £35M) and Hojlund £52M (value at £30M), seemingly all the players he's wanted were ones he's coached before or players he wanted himself, if you want to be the best in the Prem league buying 2nd rate players from Ajax etc, isn't the way to do it.

Hope the Xavi rumours are true.

Good appointment, plays a way Man U ought to play, high press, energy quick tempo football. It was clear something wasn't right with Ten Hag and allowing him to buy substandard players because he'd coached them before was a nonsense.

Time will tell if this a good appointment or not. A highly regarded yet relatively inexperienced coach who has now to see if he can succeed in a much tougher league than Portugal. He hasn’t yet got the quality players that he will need to play his style of football in the PL in my opinion. Let’s see if he gets the time to build the squad that he will need if Utd are to compete with the top teams again.

Not really.

He got Chelsea into the champions league whilst in a transfer ban and has tk bring through younger players. It wasn’t a great job but wasn’t a disaster.

Everton his job was to keep them up and think he did that the first season, second season he struggled?

Had a disaster at Chelsea in his second spell but he was on a bit of a hiding to nothing there due to the short term nature of it when they were just winding the season down.

I don’t think he’s a particularly good manager but he’s not as bad as some are saying I don’t think, he’s a fairly middle of the road, meh manager I think.

not a manager this time but a Referee

Premier League official David Coote has been sacked by referees' body the PGMOL following a "thorough investigation" into his conduct.

Coote, 42, was suspended by the PGMOL (the Professional Game Match Officials Limited) (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce8y6zqjgdyo) on 11 November pending a full investigation after a video allegedly showing him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and the club's former manager Jurgen Klopp was circulated on social media.

A further investigation was opened two days later after the Sun published photos it says were taken during this summer's European Championship, alleging that they appear to show Coote sniffing a white powder through a rolled up US bank note.
The PGMOL said Coote's actions made his position "untenable".

The thing about Russell Martin is i think he was always going to struggle in the premier league and the likelihood they were always going to get relegated……

With knowing that i wonder should they maybe have stuck with him seeing as he was good enough to get them promoted and has experience of doing so …

I think it boils down to will they get a better manager to take them up again which is a massive gamble IMO .. time will tell of course if it was the right decision.

In Everton’s position Dyche was probably a good man to have who saved them from relegation before. If they appoint someone like Moyes they might end up being better off though would Moyes want it ? . They could end up with someone worse as well … I’d question wither in their position it was the right time to be taking such a gamble though.

Realistically would Moyes get a bigger gig in England than Everton now? There is not a clamour for domestic managers with so many foreign owners and whilst they are flitting around the relegation zone if they can stabilize and assuming the new owners will inject some cash its definitely a project opportunity.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Dyche was the right man at the right time for Everton and got them out of a desperate situation last season but he was never the man to take them to the next level.

I really hope they find the right man. They have huge potential. With a beautiful new stadium, and new ownership, there could be a lot to look forward to for a great old club. And frankly there are few sets of supporters out there that would deserve it more.

Good question as Everton are a great club but in their current situation I’d imagine being an experienced manager Moyes would be wary of going back at this stage ..

Problem Everton have is if the likes of Moyes doesn’t want it what are the alternatives? Two here mentioned with one a foreign option and the other Southgate who has generally worked with an excellent squad with some really top quality players . This situation is totally different in a squad that’s poor and toiling badly, not much time to assess or recruit new players either …

Won the Conference League 2022/23 with West Ham

Awarded an OBE in the New Years Honours list for services to football

Has managed the third highest amount of EPL matches behind Wenger and Ferguson looks set for a return to the toffees

[JimBHibees]

Moyes on the whole has been an excellent Premier League manager. He won a European Trophy with West Ham. A competition Emery failed to win with Villa.

We are not comparing Moyes and Emerys European records surely :greengrin

Probably to get a better manager in because it would appear that Clement clearly isn’t one . I agree the squad is poor and they are too skint to fix it and sacking Clement will cost them a fortune after they give him a new contract but there will come a point when the hordes will turn on them were they will have no choice I think ….

Really is enjoyable what’s going on there with hopefully more mayhem to come 🍿

Moyes doesn’t want a relegation team, he’s said so.

I thought Moyes might be hanging on for the Scotland job. He might have to wait a bit mind you.

I think it's a mistake for Everton to return to Moyes. He never won anything in eleven years first time around.

Clement is pretty decent in my opinion, he's having to work with a level of player they wouldn't have even given a second glance to in the past and it's reflective of their current budget. Bringing someone new in won't change that. They are miles behind Celtic and will be for a long time to come but again, their fans live in Narnia and can't see the blindingly obvious though to be fair they are fed s***e on a daily basis by the Sevco-centric weegie press.

Potter to be appointed

Given how much contractual work normally goes into these appointments that was razor quick, or indeed was it a done deal! I know he was out of work but so many sackings now adays are obviously off the back of negotiations well down the path to being completed. I know its an incredibly well rewarded job, but it really is a cutthroat every man for themselves game in management these days.

While I agree about their current budget and it seemed they have had to cut cost i still think with signings for around about 4 , 3 and 2 million plus players like Cerny coming in on loan that’s valued at somewhere between 6 and 10 million they still should be blowing the other teams in the league away and be a lot closer to Celtic than the gap that there now exists …

All that is coming from him is one excuse or sad story after another.. like our penalty or the injuries they had etc , most ungracious sour faced manager in the league that rarely gives any credit to the opponent..

I don’t think bringing somebody else in will win them the league though I do think a better manager might get more out of them as their away record is shocking under Clement …

I agree about the hun fans living in Narnia about this situation though normally when fans do turn in numbers on a manager which they have if results don’t improve there is only one outcome .. personally I think he’s a dead man walking and even though they gave him a new contract and are skint they are probably still going to have to act before things get really ugly …. Whatever happens it’s all rather enjoyable watching them stumble from one crisis to the next:greengrin

[jacomo]

In Everton’s position Dyche was probably a good man to have who saved them from relegation before. If they appoint someone like Moyes they might end up being better off though would Moyes want it ? . They could end up with someone worse as well … I’d question wither in their position it was the right time to be taking such a gamble though.


Seems like Dyche himself had realised he'd reached the end of the road.

Moyes is apparently about to be confirmed, good appointment for Everton. Same tactics, but greater emotional connection to that club.

Your right in they were awful against us though did watch an interview where he said they were playing more games than some teams down in England with bigger squads and it wasn’t easy with injuries , fatigue etc which I thought was a fair point.

Thought he generally came across as courteous doing interviews and was fair enough . I think it’s quite sad he’s been driven out for this reason which seems to be getting worse in sport .. unacceptable really.

[Chip shop Joe]

This is a shame always thought he came across well in interviews. His stats seem pretty decent.

I think most managers will accept a degree of vocal criticism in the ground, rightly or wrongly, is part and parcel or their job. 'Oi Kettlewell you are ****ing useless' isn't reason enough to resign I wouldn't have thought. Approaching a club employee and/or their family is just another level and it's totally out of order.

It must be a minority. I don't know a single person who would do that and I reckon if you took a random sample of 500 people on this board or in any given section at ER the number who would behave that way would be zero. The idiots who do it must be identifiable and and in turn it must be possible to deal with them. Whatever you think of someone's performance in their job in football there can't be any way abusing them in the street is justifiable.

As a one off comment you'd be right but how many times has he heard it throughout his career? Football allows abuse on a weekly basis from managers like Klopp, Arteta, Silva et al abusing referees, to players surrounding and harassing referees to fans who think there's no limit to what they can say because they paid their money etc etc. It's more surprising to me that more managers and referees tolerate it on a weekly basis without quitting.

[Chorley Hibee]

100% agree.
He effectively called the fans morons, who's opinion didn't matter because they'd never played the game ...

This from a guy who during his entire career has been paid to take money out of the game.... Not put it in like the fans.

This is ALSO the guy that has never been a referee yet thinks his own behaviour constantly abusing referees and other officials, to the extent he's picked up the number of ref and yellow cards he had this season, is somehow ok.
Double standards eh??

Wonder if he ever stopped to think of the referees families as he screamed abuse at them.

Also, to pick up on the way his narrative seems to be being twisted on here - he never said his family had been abused - only they didn't want to go to games because of him being abused. Totally different.

In summary he thinks it's ok for him to abuse officials despite him never having done their job, but it's out of order that the paying fans abuse him because they've never done his job.... Hmm

Interesting post.

I know someone in the Highland League who recently told me that Kettlewell was quite arrogant in his time at Ross County. Not very approachable if ever contacted for potential loan players and had an air of arrogance around being involved with an SPL club.

Was aloof and condescending when dealing with anyone from a lower league and sounds like that’s where he’s at with the Motherwell fanbase too.

You just need to look at the league and teams such as ourselves, Aberdeen and Hearts to see how tight and evenly matched we all are over the course of a season. Kettlewell was doing just fine with them, more fool the fans for forcing him out.

If they're going to do that with every manager that doesn't have them winning cups and beating the old firm while sitting in contention for European places then they're going to be in for a period of unsettled teams and poor results. They've brought that on themselves so no sympathy from me.

Teams do hit bad runs at times and while I don’t know what the Motherwell fan’s expectations are for their club but I do think they should have shown a bit more patience with Kettlewell as he leaves them in 5th place and when he took over they were in relegation trouble and he guided them to the brink of top 6 , picking up 30 points from his first 14 games .

He also went on a 10 games unbeaten run last season which was their best run since I think 2010 , a cup semi final at Hampden , blooded academy kids like Lennon Miller , Euan Wilson and also turned a free transfer into a 1.6 million profit .

Not saying he is a brilliant manager though I certainly think he deserved more respect and gratitude from their fans than what he received which doesn’t sit well with me at all .

Heard him talking about the style of football and saying at times it isn’t always possible to play good football . I suppose it’s a bit like Gray post match Ross county saying with the way the pitch was it was never going to be the case of playing good football .

In fairness he would know more than most of their fans having been a player having played over 300 games and a manager for a number of years now .

I would have been confident he would have turned it around like he did before and had them around mid table , where they are now is in the lap of the gods depending on who they get .. Lennon , Brown and McGlynn getting linked with it but so is the likes of Naismith.

Sad thing about this is it’s all been created from fans doing something that’s unacceptable in abusing their manager which will unfortunately happen again if they take a dislike to the new guy or things aren’t going the way they want . Whatever gripe they had about him they are wrong as he didn’t deserve to get abuse .. then again nobody does ….

I'm not so sure. Ayr and on the up, right up there in the promotion race. IMHO much better to have a promotion on the CV rather than bottom 6 survival season after season. The budget at Motherwell is restricted compared to others, if I was Scott I'd be aiming for a big team like Hibs, Aberdeen or Dundee United rather than surviving with the smaller Motherwell, St Mirren, Hearts :wink: etc

He was only ever going to succeed in the parochial backwater that is Scotland with a lot more miles on the clock and experience under his belt than he had when he was given the Hearts job. He'd need to point to a lot more on his cv than he had at the time when coming under pressure from the "whit dis he ken aboot fitba" crowd - a crowd that includes fans, media, his own players and many more.

It was utter lunacy giving it to him then and was only ever going to end one way.

Fair play to him for re-building an excellent coaching career since that experience.

He's also a maniac and will be tremendous entertainment if he gets it.

The Motherwell fans won't be abusing him. 👊🏾

All the talk of Cathro reminded me of this:
