If you're on about the first few months of the season I agree completely. The last few games he hasn't really got anything wrong other than ultimately being responsible for the defence being consistently piss poor, which has been the case all season.
That's exactly what I'm on about. Though the same issues surfaced in that WBA game. How Marshall held his place after his performance against Everton is ridiculous, and Clucas at LWB was a terrible decision - although he did end up looking ok (apart from that goal he should never have conceded) - the decision to play him there underlines Phelan's cluelessness.
Phelan has 13 points - Bruce had 16 at the same stage with 10 more players Marshall, Mason and Keane were Brucies targets and quasi signings being progressed by him and Ehab - Ehab completed them when the sale collapsed - the only reason Brucie left is Ehab wouldn't let him sign Powell - who is **** anyway I feel sorry for Phelan - no-one else wanted the job and he inherited a car crash - a poor team that Brucie managed to a poor fourth in the Championship Any new manager needs a massive budget to get anywhere -we also need a manager who doesnt spunk money and waste loans signings like Bruce did- the only hope now is that the Allams realise this and dig deep Brucies strikers include Diomande, Akpom, Prozzy, Graham, Sagbo, N'doye - just how **** are that lot - I'd be surprised if they'd scored 10 goals between them
No they won't. Have a look at that Henry Winter tweet on the other thread for a start. City fans think it's a disgrace and someone's head should roll every time we lose. Fact is were expected to lose every game this season. Have we been favourites for a game all season? I bet not. So how is it the head coaches fault when we lose?
I think that's most likely I was merely pointing out that other things might happen, because their search for a manager didn't seem to go smoothly last time In a nightmare scenario they might even take an Allam '24 hours'!
Steve Claridge on 5 live just said that we should be happy where we are only a few years ago we were languishing in the 4th division.
I think the key word in the statement was SEARCH.... they could have not said that at all if they had someone in place.
Clucas had a very good game I thought so I'm not really buying that being a poor decision, although I couldn't really understand it. Marshall held his place for being a good keeper. He didn't blow up the world trade centre or shoot hundreds in Paris as the muppets on this site would have you believe. The Hull City over the last month has been almost unrecognisable from the Hull City between August - December. Given the sudden turnaround in performances, and them being consistent since that turnaround, I think it's fair to say a rookie manager had learned and realised a thing or two and our recent form is a better judge of his current ability.
Oh aye. Paid a good wedge to do a job badly. Good riddance. This news has cheered me up no end. Even without a manager or head coach we'll do better than with him stealing a wage.
