Yeah, that's some coincidence as well! Gus was rumoured a few months back and now he's the guy our managerial target wants to work under?
I would of been happy if we got him in straight away Interview him the amount of times then get him in It’s going to be him isn’t it Or maybe not
The DoF should have responsibility for the entire football side of the organisation, so I'd expect him to, at least technically, have superiority over the head coach.
Got to admit i was tempted a few times to employ lasses that had know bra on and you could see their suspender buckle through their skirt.
I'd agree with that. You could balance it with a greater say on transfer activity for the head coach as the guy whose job is usually the one on the line first.
Actually starting to feel a bit sorry for Rosenior if he gets it. He's a young lad and will need all the support he can get but no escaping he was not at the head of the list of preferred candidates. If its him I hope everyone gets behind him and gives him time. Can't afford another Beale Dodds season His style of football may take a while to bed in. Southampton fans were calling for Russell Martins head when we beat them 5-0 and look what happened.
I'm just coming upto my 70th Birthday this month and have supported Hull City well over 50yrs and in my view he's one of the best we've had. I was surprised that they let him go because the local reports on the partnership seemed great. It is slow build up play which can be a right piss off but when it clicked it clicked. The one touch football was a joy to watch and it seemed to be coming together at the end of the season, few more games we'd have made the play offs. He is a Legend at City as a player so we was wondering how he was as a Manager and he did do pretty well. If he gets the right players to play his style of football then you'll be in for a treat.
Nixon has either made that up, or has got it from someone else, rather than someone at the club. I still think it could be someone totally random.
Isn’t it funny how people can read the same thing and take totally different things from it. I’m seeing people questioning how wise it is to let a new head coach have a say in who a new DOF should be. I didn’t take that from Bobs comment re Gus Poyet. I took the whole thing to mean that one member of the interviewing panel is pushing for Ciufentes AND wants Poyet in as DOF. To me, that was as clear as day what Bob meant but plenty of others seeing something different in it. Guess it shows how snippets can be interpreted differently when there’s little context to it.
Rather than hearing second hand accounts of what Hull fans think of Rosenior I asked them directly, if anyone is interested: https://www.not606.com/threads/rosenior-to-sunderland.413023/ There's probably nothing there to swing anyone's existing views on him either way as they're probably as split as we are.
Bob was asked directly: Who wants to bring in Gus....LR or MC? And he answered: MC Seems pretty open and shut what he is saying. Marti Cifuentes wants us to bring in Gus Poyet as DoF. Does it seem backwards and nonsensical? Yes.
