As someone who didnt want Rosenior, I've read, what I found, a few cracking posts on here over the past couple of days, that have defo give me a more optimistic outlook with him. He's likeable, his teams have an identity and he has experience at this level. These are my concerns with this appointment (tbf not even a reflection on LR).
LR was sacked a week into May, we had nearly 3 months before then to identify candidates, I think its fair to assume LR would not of been in our thoughts whilst employed at Hull. That makes me think there has been one of two scenarios if hes appointed. 1) We couldnt attract higher calibre candidates from those we identified before his sacking, if this is the case, then I ask why couldnt we attract these names or get them over the line? 2) Of the candidates we identified since Feb, LR is the best of the list. If this is the case, then with all due respect to LR, that must of been a pretty underwhelming list imo.
It also concerns me slightly that Hull watched him for a couple of years, where he did a good job but still thought they could improve on him, specifically noting they wanted to improve the style of football. (Their owner does come across a bit of an idiot tbf).
If hes appointed, I will feel like our manager process has ultimately failed like it did when we appointed Beale. I dont mean that LR is a failed appointment (I wouldnt even be that disappointed with him just a bit underwhelmed), I just mean I feel like we couldnt get candidates that we preferred or our manager recruitment doesnt stretch further than unemployed British managers.
Dont want this to come off as negative towards LR or writing him off at all, think he would do a solid job, its more of a club structure above him Id feel worried about ( obviously some of my points are just my assumptions and may not even be right).
