Fulham are a comfortably mid-table Premier League team under Silva. 10th, 13th and currently 11th this season.

Acun probably would’ve sacked him by now for not getting European football in three years.

You jest
But if acun was fulhams owner

He 100% would have sacked him
This summer at the latest

Fenerbache change managers every 14 months or something on average

What influence does a new manager/coach have over playing staff? We’re still being linked with players without a manager. Herein lies the problem - here’s your team, top 6 is the minimum requirement. With no doubt no striker for the umpteenth season.

On a hiding to nothing.

Very little. The distinction between a manager and a head coach is the former has more authority over scouting and signings whereas the latter doesn’t. Bruce was a manager and had freedom to identify players he wanted to sign with Allam’s approval. For head coaches, it’s the other way round. The recruitment team create huge lists of potential targets and put them to the head coach and he gives his opinion but ultimately it’s the chairman who decides.

This is about Riera. Sounds promising but if he is the main target, would he want to work for Acun and would he be given time?

Like Brady said, it’s a bizarre mindset to hire young managers learning their trade as they go and giving them no opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. This article could just as easily describe Sellés at Reading.

Rosenior and Sellés were good at man-management and empathetic. Walter was the polar opposite and was cold and distant with the players. Riera sounds more like the former in terms of building relationships with players but has zero tolerance for unprofessionalism. Think our squad need firm but fair. Corberán kept the West Brom squad on a tight leash and they respected him but as soon as he left, certain players in the squad just started to take the piss again because Mowbray was more lenient.

Looks like an Acun pick.

Another Spaniard who had lots of gigs as a player including Man City Liverpool and Watford (so he is familiar with management churn). I presume Acun is very aware of him from his Turkey days and now his time with Celje given Acuns time with Maribor. He look very promising sort of in the mold of Selles dare I say but with a playing career of note, but I thought the same about Selles and although he tightened up our defense got City playing some of the worst football I have ever seen them play-so who knows.

Same here, but I’d keep him away from the stationery cupboard
 
I’d be happy with Albert Riera, never heard of him before but more potential than managers like Neil

The thing I don’t get is why Acun keeps going for young coaches who are bound to make mistakes and develop, like Rosenior and Sellés, and then **** them off because they didn’t meet his unrealistic expectations or he doesn’t like the style of play. Did he not do any research on Rosenior and Sellés?

Cooper said Alex Neil interviewed for the job and impressed Dublin a lot but Acun was fixated on Sellés instead. If you’re going to turn down an experienced coach like Neil in favour of Sellés, you need to give Sellés more than six months.

Riera actually seems like a decent candidate but he’s in the exact same mould as Rosenior and Sellés. He’s noted as having good interpersonal skills with players (something @PLT mentioned as an understated quality in a coach) whilst having high standards and discipline. He’s also young and will make mistakes.

What does Acun actually want if he’s not prepared to commit to giving a coach 2-3 years at least? He may as well just hire and fire the likes of Allardyce and other dinosaurs who’ve ’been there and done it’.

yep its pointless

once we hit a run of bad form, itll be adios

you cant hire young managers and expect them to be perfect
its the type of manager you stick with over a few seasons, you either buy into them or you dont

why are we not beating teams 5-0 like leeds did?
what do you mean its becasue we have pedro and joseph up front??

Makes sense why Acun cares so little about the academy. It doesn’t offer instant gratification.
