Motherwell hope to appoint Stuart Kettlewell as their new manager within the next 24 hours.
Record Sport broke the story on Monday that the interim boss had been offered the top Fir Park job on a permanent basis. Kettlewell was told after the weekend win over Hearts by chairman Jim McMahon that the job was his if he wanted it. The former Ross County boss had a discussion with outgoing chief executive Alan Burrows yesterday and was waiting for an offer to be made to his representatives.
Kettlewell is keen on the job but things would also need to be right for him to commit, both professionally and in terms of his contract. He is waiting to see if the deal will be a long-term appointment or just until the end of the season in the first instance. Kettlewell also wants to know what the aims are for the club and what scope he would have to bring his own staff in.
