Selles

That’s not really the point I’m making. I can accept silence had there been no mention of this supposed review of Selles. It’s not out the question for clubs to do a review at the end of the season.

It’s the fact that the managers position has come into disrepute so publicly from the media. Yet the club now go silent when they could quash it. He did the same when people were calling for Tim (granted he sacked him 24 hours later)

 

I thought he said he wouldnt sack him - 24 hours before sacking him!

 

The club are aware and they could quash it, but they haven't.

What does that tell you?

 

That they haven’t quashed it?.

 

one of two things:
either they are planning to sack him, or
they are stupid
I suppose they could be undecided .... but what is the point? do they go throughout the second half of the season not watching the games?

 

looking at potential other candidates

 

they didnt think of that earlier?
even if they couldnt have gone for them during the season, they could have thought about them and acted when the season had finished (except for play-offs) and Premier League.

 

tells you whatever you want it to
doesnt it

 

No it never told me lottery numbers.

 

It clearly tells you there's no evidence they are considering it, so speak for yourself.

 

This article is tenuously linking the Legia Warsaw manager to us

He did it twice I believe. Once a week or so prior then the day of the Wednesday game

 

So, the only thing we do actually now know is that there is a board / review meeting starting tomorrow in Instanbul!!
So, that likely means that all this past week & more of talk, speculation, rumour about Selles being sacked, having been sacked but not yet announced, going to be sacked has been whipped up nonsense, derived only from a media comment that there will be a thorough top to bottom review of the season's performance (as of course there should be).
Given that there's a meeting starting tomorrow, it makes sense to me that the club wouldn't make any interim statement about Selles. Nothing to make a statement about!!
The club's bankrupt, up for sale, sold, owner lost interest, manager sacked, no money to pay the players, asking for boot donations.
You have to smile don't you .

 

So, rather than decide whether they are keeping Selles and then have him part of the discussions about the future, they will decide everything and tell Selles what their decision are (if they keep him). It's almost as if they dont think he's very important.
A lot of football clubs make decisions excluding their manager. They seem to think it encourages continuity in case the manager leaves. This is despite the executives changing as much as the managers do.

 

In an ideal world. I doubt it’s that straight forward, for the same reason so many transfers don’t move until deadline day.

 

This was the issue though. There’s plenty of free agents we could pad out the squad with. Dolan and Riis would be really smart additions (and they’ll have suitors) but I would bet we don’t engage. You can get them early on hopefully and get them bedded in.

There was options like this last summer and we didn’t do it

 

Head Coach Peter, Head Coach!
(although in his bio on the OWS it reads 'the 44th full-time manager in Hull City history'
But he isn't our manager, he is our head coach.
I guess he'll have given his input to Dublin, or put the other way round, Dublin will have sought his input, to take into the meeting. At least you would hope so.

 

Tomato tomato

 

OK then. He's our head tomato.

 

The board meeting in Istanbul is being reported by the same person who has reported that Selles' job is at risk. I don't see a reason to believe one part of what he's saying but not the other.
