Ooh joycey.... Posted from Lima Peru on seventh day of bloody two week business trip so reading all this is a bit surreal - very good news though
It's a worry... Rick @HullCityLive A head coach normally works under a Sporting director or similar. Does that make, gulp, Ehab our director of football?? #hcafc
Times Sport @TimesSport Mike Phelan is the new manager of #hcfc - it's understood he'll get £500k if they stay up.
This what I thought too. But, there could have been clauses that were in place of some sort, plus was he already in to his next roll, so to speak. Technically, is there a real difference in what has happened to say him resigning directly after the PO Final and then taking over at Villa?
**** off Ehaw, 84 days keeping someone dangling on a string is hardly a ringing vote of confidence. It would not surprise in the slightest if the Allams have not even been looking for a new manager, just hanging on and on trying not to have to make an appointment. Their targets have all steered well clear of this carcrash of a job and only Mike Phelan has shown any appetite for it. By PL standards and those of a multi million pound turnover business in the global spotlight, this is shambolic management, somewhere between indecision and incompetence. It has undermined credibility of the club and Mike Phelan. So well done Ehaw- that's something you have managed to achieve without daddy's help. In the meantime another member of staff sees a brighter future in a club in the division below. Does this happen to any other PL club, or is it just us? What a rotten reign this has become - devoid of class, wisdom, goodwill and style. It wouldn't surprise me that when the Allams leave they take the pitch surface with them, the grasscutters, lightbulbs and anything else removable. Knownowt charmless bullying incompetent ****s.
Interesting! He was initially offered a bonus ONLY if we managed to get into Europe. Glad to see that common sense has prevailed!
I remember as a kid reading the HDM sandwich board headline: "John Bond: I'd walk to Hull for the job". Unaware of the cliche, it conjured up all kinds of images and questions, but in the main: how far would John Bond have to walk? Would it be in stages, or would he do it all in one go? Would he be guaranteed the job if he walked to Hull, or merely a candidate?
Liam Rosenior @rosenior_liam23 Delighted that Mike Phelan has been appointed at Hull... A great coach and more importantly a good, honest man... Well deserved.
What do you reckon to Torremolinos Lbia?? I went couple of years ago. Thought it was strange place. Couldnt find many pubs. Get on the train to Malaga mate and get round the Tapas bars, you'll love it.
Glad its been sorted at last , cant help but feel that the part of Liam's tweet regards MP being a good honest man, is a little bit of a dig at SB.
not botherd by Clemence going to Villa. We need a clean sweep & Phelan needs to bring in an assistant manager & 1st team coach who want to play the same way he does & not have anyone still trying to play the Bruce way. Love to seen Ryan Giggs at City (how well did these 2 get on back at Man U ?).
