I’ve theee questions

1) Has he only ever played one formation in his life, like our last 3 managers.

2) Does he like 60% possession with the goalkeeper having 40% of that 60%.

3) Does he like to rent or buy? I’d maybe suggest a rental.

thats just not true with the first 2 points though
 
one of the reasons the championship is so tough compared to foreign leagues especially is becasue its 46 games

theres 23 other teams with almost the same levels of budget(some exceptions of course)

46 league games is just a monumental challenge, and without those few exceptions, teams are very similar talent wise, its all about recruitment for the championship
and if ours is wrong again, it really doesnt matter who the manager is or itll be a back to basics defensive priority to stay up from december again

Agree
 
It was a bit tongue in cheek. However, did Walter or Selles play anything but 433 with their time with us. Similarly Rosenior?

Sellés played 4-2-4 and 4-2-2-2 a few times. Walter exclusively 4-3-3. Rosenior played 4-2-3-1 religiously except the one time he played a midfield diamond without wingers and never played it again despite it working well.
 
another reason why itll be a week or so

is rieras team play their final game of the season this weekend, then a little title celebration

should be free by wednesday
 
Acun seems to want an exciting, attacking team fighting in or around the play offs but with a lower half of the table squad and inexperienced managers.
No he doesn't. That's just silly. Look at who he sanctioned to come in during Roseniors time. Then more recently do you really think he sanctioned the further additions of the likes of Millar, Belloumi, Matazo, Alzate, Puerta, Hughes, etc to have " a lower half of the table squad". Let's keep it real.

Yeah Walter had loads to work with.
 
Downgrade is a bit harsh Syd. Yes its an inferior league to the championship but he has won the domestic double in Slovenia. He's also got experience managing in the Europa and Champions League. But your right, he's unproven in England. Saying that, if there was an English equivalent to Reira, someone who's won the league and the cup that also has experience in Europe... he'd be going to bigger clubs than us.
This is shota all over again. Justifying his record.. He may be good im not writing him off but it's a justified concern.

That was so strange, we had no wingers at all really weren’t we playing Slater and Tufan out wide ffs? That diamond produced an absolutely fantastic performance wasn’t it at home v Blackburn? Then that was that never seen again.
