I wonder if City fans will pronounce his name with his native German pronunciation or pronounce it like Mike from Breaking Bad does. Waltuh…
Ive been away on holiday so missed all of this although I got a call on Tuesday morning saying Rosenior was on his bike. When was he actually sacked? Also I'm not going to trawl through the 90 odd pages of comments to see if anyone else has picked up my thoughts whilst mulling this over? So for what they are worth... I think something went off in Turkey on the so called 'bonding session' Simply because of the display v Stoke that followed it, the consequent rumours about players going behind Roseniors back complaining and the endless quotes to the media from the manager about the solidarity of his squad etc, was he trying to convince someone else? I'd also suggest Acun would have had some of his close football pals in Turkey assessing our squad and tactics/training methods whilst out there. Including the manager of the tiny team who beat us? Managed by a 'close personal friend of Acun...' Ex Rangers manager, Dick Advocat ? Plus I dont think dropping Omur went down too well, as the mystery about the non appearnance of the new keeper, Connollys disappearance, Rosies frequent touchline bans, and the tepid displays against Plymouth and Watford alongside the Stoke debacle when we needed to beat them. I noticed Rosie frequent nervous glances up at the directors box when things were not going well for us at home and I don't think the relationship was as cosy as we all were led to believe. So was it a fool hardy knee jerk decision by Acun? Not a chance. He must has some else lined up. It's hard on Liam Rosenior, as it was hard on Grant McCann following a title winning season, but that's football and yesterdays news. And we move on.................
The time frame also ties in with Rosey getting quite uppity with some unprompted and overly defensive comments about his style and philosophy. I remember one in particular “I don’t care what anyone else thinks” which seemed to have some venom behind it.
you are consistently misunderstanding things Acun sacked Liam over two issues mainly 1. he failed to improve the position after bring in several good players 2. most of the season he didnt attack enough at home the new manager will be starting with a very different looking squad the team wont be spending a long time passing the ball between defenders in our own half the team will attack more it is a ridiculous idea to think that the new manager will have to achieve better than 7th or get sacked
And it showed when we played Stoke at home a few days later. We looked like a team who had just met on the car park five minutes before kick off.
maybe too many signings in january disjointed the team maybe it was too much at once it was ridiculous to expect them just to bed in instantly
