Off the top of my head just some of the young and first time managers Hull City have given a chance too since 1970.
Terry Neill, first managerial job. Under achieved massively with a highly talented squad, John Kaye, first managerial job, did nothing. Ken Houghton first and only managerial job, did nothing, Mike Smith first managerial job ( of a league club) Bankrupt the club, Terry Dolan, recruited from Div 4 Rochdale, club appeared three times at the High Court on winding up orders, Eddie Gray, also from Rochdale, did nowt, Mark Hateley first managerial job, disaster...….Jan Molby very little managerial experience, did nothing, Phil Parkinson, did nothing, Slutsky did nothing, etc etc etc.
The only time we have hit the jackpot was when we have appointed an experienced manager, Phil Brown being the exception who had only coached before although under Sam Allardyce, Peter Taylor, Brian Little ( moderate success) Brian Horton, Nigel Pearson ( left a good squad and wasn't sacked) Steve Bruce...……
I'm sure others can add their own names to the list.

We were Horton's first job as he was player-manager. Brown had managed Derby before too.

Know a long time Hudders pass holder and told her what would happen

Phase 1: Everyone loves you and welcomes you and you run on adrenaline and confidence
Phase 2: Results slacken off a bit but still a few wins
Phase3 : The first forum poodles start yapping and demanding a new manager
Phase 4: Other teams have you figured out and your players's self belief is shot
Phase 5 : Last ditch survival (followed by abject second season) or relegation

She reckons 15th in the Championship next season, confidence is shot, fans forgotten what to do when they score a goal etc

Phase 6: 'How **** must you be, we're winning at home'
Phase 7: I really hope Megson doesn't come here; we don't deserve him

I’m boycotting and despise the regime. But I also hate all of this snivelling, ‘ooh I hope he doesn’t come here cos we’re not good enough for him now’ or ‘AFC Dogshite are miles bigger than us now’.

Have some self respect. Hate the Allams but remember who we are.

In my opinion, the boycott is the best political action to take as if taken collectively, would demonstrate to the outside world our solidarity and attitude as fans. We then return en masse post-Allam, demonstrating our true capacity. I accept, not everyone agrees.

Repeatedly slagging off the entire fibre, size and history of the club makes us look small time and feeds into opinions of us that we’ve tried to shrug off over the years.

If you seriously have such contempt for the club and its history, why not petition the Allams to wind the club up, ****ing turn the ground into a carpark and forget it all.

Personally, I think it’s all part of the all-pervasive small club mentality.

Post of the month contender.

They know who they are...


Allams OUT

Correct.
But the fact that the Allams will break them means that we shouldn't give another young up and coming manager a chance.
It wouldn't be morally right ..... errr, well, you know the rest #.....

Awful, isn't it?

They'll be forced to work in Dickensian conditions, always wondering if their minimum wages will be paid or not.

Poor sods, have to train and manage football players for barely a living.
 
Nigel Adkins has been offered the Huddersfield Town manager's job - BBC Sport.

Edit: It looks like the BBC may have got this wrong and he hasn't been offered it.
