Handsome_Devil Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Good luck to him. He'll need it. Would love, love love him to do well but I've got the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I adore Stevie Hammell but it's hard to argue this isn't a cheap/lazy option. Best of luck to him, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Clearly done as the cheap option but doesn't mean he'll do any worse than a random pick from the managerial merry-go-round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 There will never have been a Motherwell manager who I want to succeed more - and I think he'll get more patience than most - but I still stick to my principal that no-one should be getting their first gig at a club like ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RostokMcSpoons Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Chairman Jim McMahon said: “We ran a very robust process that started with over 70 applicants. We met last weekend to narrow that down to a final three and we spent time interviewing them over the last few days. “All three candidates were impressive, and each brought their own positives, but Steven was the unanimous pick of the directors and Well Society board members who sat on the panel. “He inspired us with not only his short-term plans to reshape the squad and adapt the style, but his medium to long-term vision around a fully integrated club and we felt this matched how we see the future of the club. It's hard to argue with the people who met all the candidates... is it...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I love Hammell, but this concerns me due to his lack of experience. Best of luck to him. I guess every appointment we, or anyone makes, is a risk but this feels particularly so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming of course it is NOT Hammell himself that is appointed. Quite enjoying you clarifying that you dont expect Hammell to be appointed assistant manager to himself haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 i am fucking ragin' for Lasley. He'd have walked into the job this time. Given it was stated he was being groomed and was too inexperienced despite interviewing well the last twice what a kick in the baws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 You'll never get experience if you're never given a chance. Multiple clubs, way way bigger than Motherwell, give folk their first chance at management and there's loads of them who make a success of it. I've got a good feeling about this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to him, obviously. Perhaps the other candidates were not up to much and the Board thought they like what Stevie is doing / saying. I am sure if there was a better option we would have gone down that road. Maybe we are not that attractive an option 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I honestly have a good feeling about this. The guy knows the club inside and out. Good choice IMHO. Will be interesting to see who gets Asst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm with Desp, tbqhwy. Easy to pitch it as a risk, or lazy, but with the context of the nick of the place at the moment, whats required and what's expected, Hammell is a good choice for me. Is his lack of managerial experience a risk? Yes. Do I think there was some kind of top tier candidate applying? No. Is Simo a similarly huge risk? Yes. Is some c**t that you've never heard of really able to come in, recruit and sort it before the window closes, which in reality is what is required right now? Probably not. I'm into it, particularly the bit in the statement about a club wide plan for playing folk, that's class. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
