As long as Acun sees continuous progress (as he has so far under Rosenior, hence backing him) then he knows that will eventually lead to promotion. He's said as much and hasn't put a timescale on it. If we start going backwards like under Shota then obviously he'll review his backing or review the head coach position but there's nothing to suggest that's an imminent consideration. I'm quite sure if Acun felt he could get someone better than LR then he wouldn't have employed him in the first place, let alone improved his contract and then backed him to the hilt based on the progress made in his first full year in charge. Some really are reluctant to give Rosenior any credit at all, aren't they?
Why would we want to i doubt very much some of these players would have come here even if it was just Acun's dream, some are here because of LR and the way he sets up the team.
Complete fluke - he was going to sell to Dai Yonnge before the FA pulled the plug - he didn't give a rats ass who he sold the club to as long as he got his money
He also would’ve sold to that American consortium if he hadn’t tried to screw them over for a few million quid.
Rosenior is doing a great job, he’s a terrific ambassador for the area. His style of play which some have criticised, is one of the very reasons we have attracted the calibre of player that we have. Careful what you wish for. I would like Rosenior here for the long haul. Chopping and changing managers seldom works and just creates uncertainty.
I’d come to the same conclusion, just trying to be kind to Toad of Toad Hall, either way I’m absolutely over the moon that we now have King Acun.
He’d have sold to any ****er who paid him what he wanted. No credit for the current ownership as far as I’m concerned
Seems some other clubs are starting to wise up to the idea that changing manager every 12 months or so doesn't lead to sustained success. Stoke being the obvious example.
Hull City will welcome Jaden Philogene back into their squad for this weekend's game with Millwall as the influential winger returns from an eight-game layoff. Philogene limped out of the 2-0 defeat at QPR in early December, with his absence keenly felt by boss Liam Rosenior but his return to full fitness is a welcome boost, particularly with Aaron Connolly and Liam Delap still sidelined. Boss Rosenior will also be able to call upon his flurry of late transfer window signings, all of whom will be involved at the MKM Stadium with City returning to action after two weeks. Ryan Giles, Noah Ohio, Abdulkadir Omur and Anass Zaroury are all fit and available for selection, joining the three earlier January arrivals Billy Sharp, Fabio Carvalho and goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. Giles and Zaroury are almost certain to be handed first starts for the Tigers, while Ohio, Abdulkadir and Pandur are likely to be on the bench for the visit of the Lions, who sit in 16th place in the Championship. "He's available, we'll see," Rosenior said when quizzed on Philogene's return to the starting line-up, before going on to explain more about Connolly's situation which has seen him out of action since being poleaxed by Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn earlier this month. "He's running. We just need to take it day by day with his shoulder, it's an improving picture all the time," Rosenior continued. "His concussion has completely stopped. Now he's back to normal being annoying basically. He was really, really mellow when he was concussed, so I was a bit worried about him, now he's back to being angry and horrible again. "He's going to be like a new signing to us again and I felt for him, the nature of the injury, what he gives us in terms of his movement and his pace and his ability to finish. He's going to be another good weapon for us when he's back. It's too soon (for this weekend). He's not going to be right for another couple of weeks yet. On Delap "Liam, we will find out at the end of next week. He will go and see the specialist in London. He's had his injections, so by this time next Friday, we'll know more. We've been in constant contact with him. He's missing the place, he absolutely loves the lads, he's loved it here and I'm just praying that we get really good news on him. "When the period is right for his rehab, when he can travel a little bit more. It's not right for him to be in a car at the moment. The small little details like that (we have to take care of). For Liam, regardless of what happens, I want the best news. I want to be told next week that he can play whenever, February March, April, whenever it is, he can be a part of our season because he's been magnificent. "Even if he's not, and even if it's the worst, he will still come in and be a part of this because that's the way that things are here and the way that we value people when he wants to be around it too."
In an ideal world I completely agree, but the real world of modern football doesn't seem to see it that way.....I suppose it all boils down to Acuns patience and willingness to continue to fund things without a return
I have such a big hope maybe Delap could become a fulltime fixture at the club in the summer, and sounds like they are more positive he may be back playing before the play offs if we get there.
I don’t think we’d find a good enough replacement for Rosenior right now anyway. The one coach I thought would’ve been a good fit if Rosenior did go for whatever reason is Nuri Şahin as he plays high-pressing possession football, is young and ambitious, did a good job at Antalyaspor and had a decent playing career at the highest level and has a good relationship with world-class coaches like Klopp, Tuchel and Mourinho who he worked under. He’s also Turkish lol and Acun has said previously he would’ve liked a Turkish manager when he first bought the club. However, Şahin has since joined Dortmund as Terzic’s assistant and rumour is Terzic will step down in the summer and Şahin will take over as head coach once he has his UEFA Pro License.
But that's like saying few years ago football and ownership would not change but it has, what is to say may be Acun is more old school and not motivated more by money but more by suceeding.
