Good grounding… …studying for a masters under professor Paco Seirul·lo, who has been in charge of FC Barcelona’s training methodologies for the last 30 years. That gave me a knowledge of how to create a high-performance environment in team sports.
Selles looks like a good option for progression as a manager and to progress us as a team, much like Rosy was. Fingers crossed if we get him he can complete his project unlike Rosy. The Walter appointment was all wrong from the start, not often I agree with Simon Jordan but he was spot on about him- no way was a failed Bundesliga 2 manager with a Bundesliga club ever going to be any good for us.

ChatGPT. Will Ruben Selles be successful if he is appointed Manager of Hull City? If Ruben Selles were to become the manager of Hull City, there are several reasons why his tenure might face challenges or result in limited success: 1. Lack of Proven Success at Higher Levels Selles’ managerial experience is limited, with his most notable stints at clubs like Reading and Southampton, where results were mixed. At Reading, while he earned plaudits for his leadership in tough circumstances, he failed to produce consistent results or navigate the club out of relegation danger. Hull City, with ambitions of promotion or at least stability in the Championship, may require a more experienced figure who has achieved tangible success in similar scenarios. 2. Tactical Rigidness Selles has been criticized for a tendency to adhere rigidly to his tactical setups, sometimes failing to adapt during games or to opponents’ strategies. The Championship demands flexibility due to its competitive nature and unpredictability. A manager unable to adapt quickly risks losing points in tight games. 3. Pressure and Expectations The pressure at Hull City, an ambitious club with strong backing from its owners, would be significantly higher than what Selles faced at Reading. Managing in a more stable environment with higher stakes could expose any shortcomings in his ability to handle the weight of expectation and deliver consistent results. 4. Player Buy-in and Man-Management Concerns While Selles is known for working well with younger players, questions remain about his ability to manage established professionals at a higher level. Hull’s squad features a mix of experienced players and emerging talent, requiring a balanced approach that Selles hasn’t fully demonstrated in his managerial career. 5. Championship Experience Deficit The Championship is a notoriously demanding and physical league. Success often hinges on understanding its unique challenges, including fixture congestion, diverse playing styles, and high-intensity football. Selles’ limited experience in this environment might put him at a disadvantage compared to managers who have navigated these waters before. Conclusion While Ruben Selles possesses commendable qualities, such as resilience and the ability to develop young talent, these alone may not suffice to ensure success at Hull City. The step-up in expectations, the demands of the Championship, and his relatively unproven track record raise legitimate concerns about whether he can meet the club’s ambitions. Hull may require a manager with more Championship experience and a track record of success under pressure. Kin ell. A yes or no would have sufficed.
That won't matter to our fans if he plays a right-footer at left back or doesn't switch to a back three whenever we have a poor run.
Sounds like a dead man walking. Probably better to sack him now, before he starts, than risk watching this kind of dross every week. We never get it right, do we?
I would also suggest sacking our next manager in advance of hiring him / her, this as they will fail at some point (FACT), forward thinking at it's best!
This is the ultra-cautious modern way, I’m afraid. You need to adopt a more ‘he who dares’ approach. The next manager after the next one could be the one who paves the way for the one who succeeds.
We should have got that Schrodinger guy to solve the 'Manager Paradox', as he would be simultaneously 'in & out' at the same time...
