I am beginning to get really pissed off with the lack of communication from the Club as to what is happening with the Manager situation! It seems every hack reporter out there seems to know exactly what is going on and still no comment from the Hull City Board. They haven't even had the good grace to confirm that Nigel has indeed requested permission to speak to Leicester! It is in no doubt in my mind that Pearson will be leaving us and now is the time for Mr Allam to put up or shut up! I am grateful to him for all he has done for the Club so far and I in no way blame him or the board for our current predicament, but in my opinion his credibility is waining! We do not need any 'up & coming' Managers, or any other penny pinching for that matter! It is time we had a Manager that will use the resources that we have (in my opinion a team worthy of a play off place at the very least), who will be given an adequate, but not silly budget to strengthen in January, but above all a Manager who is proven. We are not in position for any Parkinson-esk experiments, nor do we want them! To Adam Pearson and Mr Allam, please give us some transparency and have the decency to tell us what the current situation is at the Club!
Chill your beans, they probably dont know themselves yet. Whatever they do needs to be handled with the upmost care so they are probably waiting till they have all the facts or can think of the right way to word it. I admit its gone very quiet on all fronts though!
All is Press speculation/rumours so far, except the club did admit having rejected a Lesta approach to talk to NP. If things are still in the air, what is there for them to say at this time?
Think you are being a bit impatient to be honest. Request to approach Pearson was made on Sunday and immediately rejected. Yesterday Pearson asks to talk to Lester and that is now being considered. This kind of thing is never put in the public domain until decisions are completed and that process is still ongoing at the moment. As for managers, I just want someone who will be successful and won't phuck us over. My favourites would be Ole Gunnar Solskjær because of his knowledge of our United kids and the fact his arrival might persuade them not to phuck off when Pearson comes crawling back in January. Or Dave Jones who has a very good record at this level and also has Premiership experience. Or Nick Barmby with Brian Horton as his assistant which would unite the Club and also be a familiar and well liked face for our youngsters. Robinson is another Parkinson waiting to happen in my opinion. Billy Davies I cannot stand and Adam wouldn't want him. McLaren was a disaster at a play-off quality side this season. Lee Clark is a nasty little chav, has already turned his back on Lester and isn't the kind to get on well with Adam. Curbishley, MON, Hughes no chance. Burns mentioned Greg Abbott but he hasn't really proved himself yet at Carlisle.
you can bet your life thats one thing that wont happen. by Jan NP will be under pressure to get in Big Names Only. i may check out the odds on NP being sacked by the end of Jan and also next summer once he gets confirmed there.
St.GeorgeisCross, Im with you on this one. I too am getting sick with the lack of communication from both clubs. Where is the offical club statements saying that NP has asked to speak to Leicester, or that Leicester have come back for a 2nd request? Come on Hull just come out and say what is OFFICALLY going on, surly the fans have a right to know offically what is going on, and not by press speculation!
Wow! Steady on, it's Lesta and their new found friend NP who are pushing this thing. It's easy to act when you thought up a plan last week as they did and then move it along. It's a lot different to consider all the facts, and ensure you don't make a wrong step. Lets hope they this right with maximum compensation so our club can move on in a considered manner.
Your forgetting, Hull havent actually done anything wrong in this situation, they have nothing to answer for at the moment. This has probably come as a bit of a shock so there scrabbling around trying to sort stuff out.
What a load of bollocks. I'd rather the club go through proper procedure and make the correct decisions than be told every detail, i know at times like this a day without news can feel like a week but we have to remain patient. Maybe if i wasn't so confident in our owners and chairmen to do the right thing i'd have a different opinion, but they can all be trusted so let's trust them. Most of what the papers say is bullshit anyway, i usually only read what they have to say because it gets posted on here.
You make a fair point, but again, even a short statement would help! Now there is also the rumour that AP may be leaving too. If ever there was need for some transparency or indeed a comment from the Club, it is now!!
I think the summer is a more important time for a statement. Right now we have plenty to waffle on about, summer transfer window we get so ****ing bored discussing the transfers that ain't gonna happen, if only they'd come out and tell us a few target and that well be getting a blow tour socks off signing...
Very good what record at this level? Failing to get Cardiff promoted umpteen times, when he had arguably the best squad in the Championship? Stroll on.
Club Statement via Facebook: "Good morning fellow Tigers. We hope you understand that whilst nothing decided with regard to Nigel there are many reasons why it's not right for us to comment officially. So if you're wondering why we've said nothing - that's why. Sorry, and we hope you understand. UTT!"
Here's a short message for you: "Stop your pathetic, mind-numbing, uninformed whinging and get behind your club when it really matters" Lester, or more to the point, the pratt Pearson is the arseholes here; our club is working behind the scenes to try and give us decent options - but I suppose you would rather they open their gobs and whinge endlessly about the injustice of it all!! Anyone who has watched football for more than five ****ing minutes knows what is happening with the Pratt Pearson, so get on with your winkle picking and give it a rest!
