I haven’t got a clue HT. All I know is they’ve got to have Championship experience with some success, hopefully British and someone who can inspire and get us playing decent football again. No inexperienced nobody from godknows where that Acun finds himself.

Agreed
 
So one thing ive found out

Chris hughton is older than steve bruce which massively surprised me
He looks very good for his age

But anyone but him and robins
 
Reality is as pointed out by that pod. We will have to likely go for someone not in a job which limits the pool somewhat to the list mentioned plus a few others. All of which have a question mark but the likes of Schumacher, Robins, Neil and Jakonovic having promotions on their CV. The latter two are the only ones with championship promotions as well.

Two of those managers as well had **** spells at Stoke which again as mentioned you have to wonder was down to the club itself given both Schumacher and Neil got promotions from League 1 and nobody seems to do a good job at Stoke.
 
Alex Neil. Only 43. Seems like he's been around a LOT longer. Started his coaching career early (Hamilton then Norwich). Nobody's really grabbing me so far. Maybe he's actually as good a shout as anyone so far. Presumably Dublin has good knowledge of him
ps that said, not sure how well he'd settle in Hull having been at Norwich
 
Someone like Hughton or Neil seems a bit regressive. My concern is that Acun is seeing all the talk from fans of "experienced championship manager" and might go for one of those on that basis. He does seem prone to that kind of populist decision-making. His Pandur thing and his "must play a recognised striker" thing with Rosenior both seem like things he'd picked up from fans' complaints, as did the childishly simplistic thing of going for a "more attacking manager" when that was never really the problem but a lot of fans thought it was. And then even sacking Walter it seems he was reluctant to do until he heard the demand for it first hand at a match he was at. I think he is easily led by a mob voice.

Let’s hope that he doesn’t read this forum for advice!
