Kettlewell a 'fantastic appointment' for Killie or 'the cheap option'?published at 16:33 27 May


We asked for your views on Stuart Kettlewell being appointed Kilmarnock's new manager on a two-year deal.
Here's what some of you said:
Gary: What happened at Motherwell probably happens at every ground in the UK so will he just walk away from every job he gets? I'm not condoning the abuse but it happens. I think we should have been more ambitious.
Gerry: Fantastic appointment. He has a hunger for European football.
Martin: Terrible appointment, failed at Ross County and bailed out at Motherwell before he was fired. Board ignoring protests from fans (polling 90% against) and suckered in by his word soup. Another relegation battle ahead, regret early renewing season ticket.
Davey: Perfectly happy. Knows the Scottish game, has a reputation for bringing young players through. Delighted Chris Burke will be staying, stepping up as part of the time. But no doubt plenty will be moaning, wouldn't matter who got the job.
Doug: I think we have to be positive and give the new manager full backing. He's done pretty well at two other Premiership clubs and has a track record of bringing on young players - something Derek McInnes failed to do and, I believe, led Bobby Wales to decide to move on. With Burke more involved this could be the start of exciting times for Killie.
Peter: Kettlewell the cheap option after McInnes wasted hundreds of thousands on loans that never even played like Kevin van Veen, Calvin Ramsay and others.
Neil: I'm delighted Stuart is the new manager. He was considered, positive and realistic at his press conference. We should get fully behind him after a very messy few weeks.
Owen: We have a very strong academy set-up and he loves to use young players so in that regard I'm excited to see Stuart as manager.
Johnny: Good appointment, fresh start and time to rebuild on a decent foundation around our younger players and the ones who play for the badge week in week out.
