On the Sky coverage on Saturday I think Alan Smith made reference to the fact that he did all the good work on a good few occasions to create an opportunity but then passed when there was an option for himself. Hopefully it'll come and the fact that he at least showed some glimpses on Saturday was a starting point.
Most of whom? Most whingers? Most negative ****s? Most of the Armchair Management committee? Most frequent posters? Most kneejerk buffoons? We need to know.
No, most of the people who saw he'd spent a load of money and still got us relegated, then did well to get us to the top of the Championship, only to guide us to defeats against totally cack sides like Preston and Rotherham, leaving us fourth. Then nearly blowing the playoffs at home to Derby. The play off final was great, but I don't think many would've been too surprised if we'd lost, given how we had been playing in the games before (Rotherham aside). There's only so many cock ups a manager can make before it stops being knee jerk and starts becoming a reality. Blindly standing by him and saying it'll all be alright because of a cup we didn't win and a European competition we failed to qualify for isn't enough for most sensible people. The morons are the people who think Steve Bruce is the pinnacle of our management capability and only under him can we progress.
Most of those who go to all our games. We were largely terrible to watch for the past two seasons and this negatively impacted on the goodwill Bruce had built up over previous seasons. Going 2-1 up and carrying on playing, rather than taking off the strikers and clinging on for half an hour was most refreshing. The King is dead, long live the King.
Most of whom? Most whingers? Most negative ****s? Most of the Armchair Management committee? Most frequent posters? Most kneejerk buffoons? We need to know. Blimey, however did you hack it at Boothferry Park with some of the football that was served up there?
I didn't want him to go particularly I certainly wouldn't have been in any Bruce Out camp However now it's happened (in a typically dreadful manner) there would be no point in going back for either party ..,and while we're at it can everyone stop asking managers to wave at them? It's embarrassing and anyway they should be concentrating on doing their job. Thank you
It's no longer 1979, we've moved on. The way for the smaller teams to compete in the Premier League is to go for it, not cling on for a draw and tell everyone how lucky 'little old Hull' are to be there.
I think this is spot on. I wanted him out when we lost to Burnley at home in the relegation season and I never changed my mind after that. I was hoping he would leave in style,get us promoted and then hand his notice in. And here is one of my personal niggles, I hate managers in track suits and trainers like Pullis and Bruce. Why the hell do they dress like that? Its not like they join in the warm up. It was good to see Phelan in a suit looking and talking like a professional.
I noticed he completely ignored your comment which is the perfect summary, must have you on ignore. He should change his name to Armchair Idiot, what he is doing on a football forum i don't know
Realised my mistake actually, should watch the games tanked up then maybe I would see the world of football as viewed by somebody like City Man or Waggy
It's a good thing, he always seems to score when he's not actually trying to. I think he's got four goals for us now and they've all been massively fluky in some way. He's got a knack for it.
What I didn't like about Bruce was that he talked as if we were small time and pretty ****, and that we were generally very lucky to be where we were. You don't see other managers playing the old 'little old us, aren't we nice' card.
That was one of the only things that used to really wind me up maybe it was a tool to try and take some pressure of him. I really want MP to get the job, he's already more positive and talks about taking the the club and his career to the next level.
To be fair to him the bicycle against Leicester wasn't flukey at all, the only thing odd was Hernandez doing the same thing at the same time. If it had only been Dio to go for it we'd be raving about the quality of the goal.
