You start looking at the untimely exit of Lichaj/Irvine. Team selection. Persistence with a non working formation. Making the exact same mistakes week in and week out. The manner in which we rolled over in games. It wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprising. The players as a part of taking a 50% reduction will also no doubt have the security of a release clause.
I didn’t say 80% I said 20%. I find the concept of the coach getting 20% cut and the players 50% absolutely incredible. Like you I don’t have a conspiracy theory about relegation. I don’t know what the plan is because the club won’t tell us. I think we were relegated because we were the worst team in the division. We also had the worst coach and the worst assistant who if the rumours are to be believed will take a much less cut than the players who then are expected to give their all.
Just to make my position clearer I wouldn’t keep those two useless twats if they offered to take a 100% pay cut.
People slag Terry off, but don't forget, people say the Championship's a difficult Division to get out of, and he made it look like a piece of piss. @ellandback
It seems extremely harsh to blame the players. They were all recruited, many instigated by McCann and approved by E.A. They came with a mixture of "talent" and experience, mostly at lower level leagues. All with lower attributes than the players who have departed over the last few years. Those players were destined to follow the instructions/tactics of the on-field management team. Chopping & changing of line-ups can, and often does, lead to confusion. Injuries may have played some part. Off field issues would have triggered doubt within the ranks. A cauldron for engendering insecurity into the players mindsets. Hardly conducive to success is it ?
awful isnt it... its going to be difficult to have any enthusiasm for next season with McCann in charge. It's bad enough still having the Allams as owners, but at least with a likeable manager you can concentrate on the football. Hopefully we hear something next week.. surely Ehab will do some sort of interview with the Yorkshire Post or with Burnsy.
Our form since January must have been the worst in any professional division in the world. We where in free fall before the break and I thought we would turn it around when it restarted as he would have worked out what we were doing wrong! Came back lost a few players and it seems the dressing room. I think with a crowd we could have giving them the kick up ass they needed. Same tactics players seeming not to know how to play as a team. No leader on the pitch. First time in over 50 years that I have seen a team with no fight or idea what to do in the last must win/not lose games. Can't believe the attitude of our so called manager. Nothing personal against him but should be sacked immediately. As for the owners could have had it all but totally ruined it with there attitude towards the supporters and anyone who disagreed with them. Been a pass holder for 50 years seen all the ups and downs but now this is the lowest and the least bothered I have felt if that g makes sense.
I've just got back from a lovely 5 days at the coast enjoying sun, sea and sand, which was extremely enjoyable. I was hoping my joyous time was at least going to be maintained by the news that Terry had gone. Clearly, he hasn't and is not likely too. Well, God help us next season, because I just can't see this guy turning our fortunes around. We know he has been deal a rough hand, but even with the players he has had this last season he should have easily avoided relegation.
an interesting look at Hull City from the outside... forget the first 3 minutes.... did I miss something, Steve Bruce was sacked and then re-instated...?
