Walter Out

Before Walter, the pick of the applicants was Liam Rosenior, which is why he was the stand out applicant and got the job.
He was an assistant at Derby.
Don't flatter ourselves, we are not every managers dream job.
We'd be lucky if the likes of Tom Huddlestone even considered us, never mind jesus weeping.
If Andy Dawson was ever going to step up to be a manager he'd have done it by now somewhere.

 

Sort of agree but had it been Tim he would have been slaughtered on here ! LOL

 

I think it's a great idea.
Realistically, City's promotion push is over this season because of the poor run of results 30% in. Get Huddlestone in, give him the rest of the season to settle in and start again in August 2025. Steve Bruce in as Director of Football.

 

Rosenior only achieved 1 more point than Daws in his first 7 games. W2D4L1

 

I don’t think we are the greatest either but I don’t think our options are always the barrel scraping you’re implying either.

Hindsight aside Walter came with a bit of a reputation and obviously he saw us as a chance of taking a team to the premier league. He won’t have been the only one I suspect.

 

I didn't say we were scraping the barrel and my original post suggesting a punt at the likes of Tom Huddlestone is hardly scraping the barrel. Its a fact that Rosenior was the stand out applicant which is why he was interviewed. We didn't attract the big names people thought we would then and I don't think we did when Roseniors replacement was being sought. Rosy was a number two at Derby, Walter was unemployed. No-one was willing to leave a top job to take a gamble with us.
Walter was/is a huge gamble, as was believing his heart attack football was going to take the English game by storm. The game doesn't need reinventing, if it did Manchester City had already done it.
Personally I think we need an English manager who knows the Championship, if we have any serious intentions of getting out of it via promotion. Yet something tells me we are not even looking at the home market.

 

Baz essentially calling for the ouster of Walter.

A pretty strong condemnation.zz

 

agree with what he says, Walter (like Russell Martin) will not change his style as he doesn't know how to
He's trying to force his players to play his "unique" style of football rather than play the style of football that is right for the players he has
at his disposal
This isn't going to change, so the sooner Walter returns to 2Bundesliga the best for both parties
We are wide open at the back & powderpuff up front.
That is relegation form!!!!

 

Good news he wants someone more attacking...

 

Within a couple of days of Liam getting the sack we allegedly (Acun said) had 15 applications this dispite Acun having already said the job was going to be Walters. I presume we had even more applications after that, who they were and how good I have no idea but there are always managers looking for a job so no need to go for untried, inexperienced, experimental options.

 

There was at least 7 of us off here

 

Back in the day when City were in a similar position looking for a manager I wrote to the club suggesting Jack Charlton who went onto do wonders with Middlesboro. I received a reply on headed club note paper saying thank you for your application for the managers job but the position has now been filled.
So Tony Angelino, seven off here might not be far off the truth, plus Dean Windass.

 

...................like the last three appointments.

 

That’s the difference though I guess - if Walter had Robin’s record in England I’d be slightly more optimistic he could turn it around.

 

Yes, so what we need is an old head to steady the ship, someone who gets the best out of what we have.

 

And bore us to death with old ways of defend and hope for the odd goal , c’mon in Brucie!

 

We’re a championship club that’s spending money, we’re obviously an attractive proposition for most people who aren’t steadily operating at top flight level. Tom Huddlestone would be pinching himself if he was offered the management job here, assuming he actually wants to get into management. I expect many coaches don’t and are happy with the job they’re doing, and actually having time to spend on themselves and with their families.

 

You assume a lot. I was just suggesting.

 

I think Acun is constantly looking outside the box, I don’t think steady Eddie interests him in the slightest and he’d rather roll the dice on a footballing psychopath such as Walter than a more run of the mill appointment that has been around the block before. I doubt it’s for the lack of applicants.

 

Technically, Pedro Martins was the pick of the bunch until he saw the bright lights of Qatar.
