A Chief Exec who acted in the best interest of his football club, despite the fact he himself has just handed in his notice and agreed to join another Premiership club. The result? Two wins in five days and six points clear of bottom.
Kettlewell seems to have them playing again. Thought he might.
The other two managers Malky McKay and Derrick McInnes, ffs, it will be a miracle if we scrape our way out of this.
Disgraceful mismanagement.

Butcher's been immense at CH today. Prick.
Only my opinion but Tony's standout candidate has nae FN chance against the 3 managers you named above.Our only hope is if the shower of charlatans wearing OUR shirts do another Jack Ross and take matters into their own hands,in other words ignore everything Foxy says.The problem with that though is in game management is still in the hands of the Head Coach.
IMHO our best game I saw this season was Alkmaar at Tannadice, but even that night I turned to my son in law and said yon keeper is an absolute bombscare. Things went rapidly South from there, but it would be unforgivable if the "management" didn't even make an effort to save us. Surely to Christ there's a couple of free agents that could make some form of an impact? Even if the manager and the "Sporting director" are too busy kidding themselves on to do anything at all.
This is potentially worse than the last twice we went down, for a number of reasons. I have the fear.
Really not that worried about the other managers in our battle against relegation. If they were any good, their teams wouldn't be where they are in the league.
Hearts have been off the boil for a little while, despite getting results, they were there for taking at Tynecastle but we aren't good enough to see the games through, too soft and defensively as a team not good enough to hold on or finish teams off up front, that will be the difference between us and the other dreadfuls at the bottom, they will be able to play poorly most weeks but win the odd game even if it means winning ugly. We can play dreadful and lose, or play decent and lose. I thought up to a few weeks ago Motherwell were are best bet.
Motherwell have picked up 16 of their 26 points in 6 games. The first 4 games Hammill was in charge and the first 2 games with Kettlewell in charge. It will probably be what saves Motherwell's season.
That is what you call the managerial bounce.
Fox was given the job permanently on the back of a managerial bounce. Should never have happened. It is artificial. Hammill was found out Fox is being found out. Motherwell have been decisive in January transfer window and changed managers. They have gone from being hopeless to totally revived. We have done nothing.
