There was enough money available last summer to sign a lot better than we did. We’ll see anyway, bigger issues currently.
They did. “Assistant coaches, Justin Walker and Ben Warner have also parted company with the club and leave with our thanks and best wishes.”
An interesting (ish) thing on Ben Warner and Justin Walker, both of them had been at Derby a long time when Rosenior joined. He then took them to Hull.
Just off the back of this, as of April the Championship was ranked as the 7th best league in the world based on average club ratings. The top 4 are as you would expect so we can probably discount most of their managers other than the ones near the bottom . The French Ligue 1 and Portugals Primeira Liga are 5th and 6th and only slightly better so it makes sense that we look there for players and managers. Anyway I've gone down a rabbit hole here...sorry!
I said from the beginning, why do we not just advertise, at least we know who wants to come. We can still get rid of the crap.
Probably didn't help they didn't really have a striker to play with. Connolly made 13 starts and a 39yr old Billy Sharp only managed 2.
Average age of Hull squad was 25 15 of them 23 or under... BUT they did have 6 players aged 30 or over. News which would make Speakman choke on his cornflakes
Will Still would be an exciting appointment although he's not managed in the championship and at 31 is quite young and a bit of a gamble. Be happy with that though. Rosenior has championship experience and Jansen has a great record. Almost a 60% win rate at AZ and at 51 he has a lot of experince. Either of those I'd be happy with although I'd prefer Jansen.
Will Still absolutely dead now surely, feels very last week him now. Think I seen he was 20/1 on SkyBet so no chance
Their owner is a psycho Damien duff took a shelbourne team who historically have been one of the best Irish teams poor couple of decades to 4th last season their highest finish in 18 years.. Hull owner was going to sack him got bought back out after 6 months now duff has them top after 20/36 games
