Acun still believes we have an opportunity to get into the play offs and believes that Charlie Hughes is going to be the next England CB. Thinks Liam was too early in his career to deliver what Acun wants for the club and that's why he made the decision with his heart to sack him Thinks we now have a good team that is improving day by day
His reasons seem to change every time he brings this up. If he was too inexperienced he shouldn’t have hired him in the first place.
Dont think we need to get talking about rosenior again Im sure all parties have learnt and benefitted from it Managers come and go Acun def wants playoffs this season though
I don't see his reasons have changed. He (LR) talked a good game. Openly promised exciting attacking football (from the off and very specifically during summer 2023). It didn't happen. I guess Acun was taken in and gave him the opportunity despite his lack of experience, but found the talk didn't match and that he was lacking (inexperience showing through). Anyway, it's the past.
He promised entirely possession based football and playing out from the back, which is exactly what we got.
Probably not scoring enough goals, despite us not actually signing a decent striker to score those goals.
He did. But he also explicitly promised that he would address the attacking side of our game (summer 2023), adding pace, exciting, attacking football. It didn't, or at least rarely, happen.
I think we’ll comfortably be mid-table but he’ll be sacked anyway because Acun wants us in the top 6. I’m not sure why but he skirts around explicitly saying so and backpedals when he does. Being clear about our aims would show intent but it would also give fans something to judge him on, so maybe that’s why.
".... or at least rarely, happen."!! Probably the most obvious example, first half v Southampton, we were excellent. If only ...
