You’d still be bringing a lot of new players and hoping it clicks. Even if we’d gone up, there’d be no guarantee you’d get Delap, Morton, Carvalho on a permanent basis. You’d have to spend the money getting them before you even thought about strengthening the team as a whole. It would be better if the majority of the team that got you up belonged to you so you’d have a much better foundation to build upon.
Yes, I thought we should've gone for an experienced gaffer and the whole Carlos Carvahal situation was bizarre. He seemed perfect and a real coup, everything we could want in a gaffer and it seemed like we had it all agreed but ****ed it off to chase Pedro Martins who ****ed us off. Sacking Grant was a mistake, hiring Shota and then hiring an inexperienced gaffer with us in a relegation scrap, we could've easily gone down. The spending of the KLP money was horrendous too. Because the ambition will always be extremely high and he's proven that if you fall a little short, you're getting the axe.
By that logic, the decision to appoint Liam in the first place was also a poor decision. Football is a results business. Managers get paid very well to deliver those results. Liam talked a good game but the results didn’t match the talk ultimately. Home results were poor but the performances were even worse. Liams gran could have have done no worse
Maybe he's just making stuff up to have personal snide digs at people he doesn't like? Regardless of league, or head coach we were always going to be in that position anyway to a greater or lesser extent. And that situation lies with the ownership and recruitment team.
I think this is really unfair. Yes I probably like Rosenior more because he had connections to the club. But I mainly like him as a manager because we improved our league position by 14 places since he came in, in under 2 years. He also got the best out of some very likeable players that have been here a while (Jones, Greaves, Slater, Coyle, Tufan) I never expected play offs this season, but always hoped. I think it’s understandable why some people aren’t overly impressed by the decision on the face of it.
Some posters got called racist because they said they thought there were too many people of colour on TV in the thread about Rosenior receiving racist abuse online. If someone doesn’t want to be accused of being racist then they shouldn’t post racist drivel.
Yes I just said that. It was incredibly risky. We were in the absolute **** and we hired a young inexperienced coach.
Anyhow exciting times. New Manager, new ideas, new incoming players, an owner driving for success. What’s not to like?
I agree, I’m pretty optimistic. Some of the overly dramatic reactions I’ve been reading throughout the day have been quite comical I have to say.
Should try twitter if you think this is comical. Like I've said consistently, if he gets the next appointment right then he'll vindicate his decision. If he doesn't then we'll be a potential laughing stock.
But out of 46 games we finished 7th. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have been sacked. I'm just saying that to class people who aren't happy about it as bitter because Rosenior had connections to Hull is unfair.
Barely. My powder is staying dry until I see who the new guy is and how he's getting on after a dozen games.
It's difficult to be optimistic when there's nobody at the club capable of making good football decisions. I'd be a lot more optimistic if we brought in a high-level director of football who had a key say in the new manager
He certainly hasn't recruited well at all. What percentage of signings have been a success? 30%? That's not an 'excellent job'
