We’re at the wrong end of the table to be gambling. Acun could end up with a very expensive League One side.
We do need someone who can organise a team, that’s what Shota failed to do. So whether it’s a Turkish manager, a League 1 manager, ex prem, ex championship, it doesn’t really matter as long as they can do the job & be competent.
Acun brought Nick Barmby back into the club and is friendly with him.Barmby was sacked for telling the Allams as it was. Has no one else considered if Acun likes bringing friends in that he might be a surprise
Been out of the professional game a long time. Huge risk for me. A lot has changed in the last decade.
-> "He had a broken arm ffs not open heart surgery. Of course Shota could have gone there. It’s fuxking moronic to do it today" Until fairly recently I worked in a reasonably senior position in a large multinational organisation. My boss was based in Northern Europe. If he had me travel over there to tell me that I was sacked I would have thought that a right ****'s trick. I guess we have very different views on how to treat people. -> They had a meeting after the Swansea game and Shota was fully expecting to get sacked then And? It's known that they discussed together after the Swansea **** show. It's highly likely went away from that discussion, pondered on what he'd just seen and what was said, and consulted with Tan. Then probably had further phone or video calls with Shota and with Tan, before reaching a conclusion that he should sack him. During that time he's been in hospital for surgery following his accident. He then uses the first reasonable opportunity to tell Shota face to face. Makes absolute sense to me and seems absolutely the right thing to do. Well done Acun.
Bilic was under consideration but seemingly chose Watford over us. Think people worrying about him just giving it to one of his mates need to chill abit.
The problem Shota had was communicating. I could listen to his interview 3 or 4 times and still have no idea what he was saying.
Baz says.. "Slaven Bilic was under consideration before his move to Watford, had City made a change after the Swansea game, but it's understood the club are working on appointing a manager with experience of English football, and in particular the Championship and that those talks are already underway with a keenness to have the new man in before Wednesday's game at home to Wigan Athletic." I guess that rules out anyone from Turkey then.
