    No. They deserved to go. Those two are nowhere near comparable to Rosenior and Selles on a multitude of levels.

    I was willing to give Walter time until he ran his mouth at the fans. Shota didn’t really improve us but had kept us up so deserved a go until the defence started looking like a scenes from a Charlie Chaplin movie.

    I get you’re trying to do a “gotcha” but Rosenior and Selles had both improved the squad they took over. Sacking managers that have shown an upward trajectory of improving the squad deserve a bit of time. Walter and Shota hadn’t.

    Never heard of him, the most interesting fact on his wiki is that he was born two days before me.....

    I would have hoped for a bit more experience of Championship football

    After the ones Baz ruled out and other than O’neil, I’d rather give mason a go over what’s left

    Decent lower league CV in getting Notts County promoted in the year Wrexham went up. Got a job at Swansea and did ok. Got sacked in a bit of controversy after allegedly having his head turned by WBA job. Didn’t get it then supposedly lost the dressing room.

    Plays a similar style to Rosenior. Believe he was in charge when they beat us here in the run in under Rosenior.

    Wouldn’t hate it but if you want to go that style of play and have a guy with a championship promotion you just go get Russel Martin.

    If this ever happens I’d take up playing ping-pong at 3 PM on Saturdays. Easily the worst manager I’ve seen in my life. That 8-0 at Wigan is etched in my memory.

    With respect the worst manager has to be Dowie, Shota, etc. not the man who gave us our first league title in 70 years.

    I was amazed he answered without arguing the validity of any of the questions.

    Phil Brown is a proven manager with Championship experience at Bolton and with City, and just to remind you, the first manager in our 104 year history to get us promoted to the Premier League. He did treat the players to a day at the races as a team bonding exercise, no different from Acun dragging our squad around Turkey to boost his social media presence and his half time talk at Man City wasn't his finest moment. But, come on, his CV stands out a mile compared to the list of other unknowns and failures we are supposed to be talking too.
    Grant McCann didn't do a lot wrong either, The relegation to League One was a disaster not all of of his own making but he did win us our first title, in some style, for over 70 years. He should have been given a chance under Acun and not discarded like a pair of ****ty underpants especially for the untried and unknown Shotta.

    To be honest I don’t care that much who the new manager is as long as they stop the boats.

    Agree with all that except the half time at man city bit, which I don't have a problem with.
    Maybe if Terry had done that at wigan we wouldn't have lost 8-0

    The manager is only as good as the players he has to work with...Therefore Acun and the brians trust should be concentrating on bringing some quality larkers in. I sort of wonder if this sack the coach/manager, find a new coach/manager malarkey might be a smokescreen.



    ps...yes., I'm aware I referred to the Brian's trust..I know a couple of Brian's.

    He must have done something at half time; we only conceded 1 goal in the second half - we were 7-0 down at half time.

    That Wigan defeat was painful and McCanns reaction afterwards was poor. Not forgetting at the time Dave Burns was like a rabid dog in his questioning of McCann and the way the club was being run, which wasn't McCanns fault, and the two were hardly best of mates. But McCann should have faced up. Burnys was relieved of his job as City reporter soon afterwards.
    Also that night every thing Wigan did paid off, eight shots at goal, eight goals. But City were woeful for all sorts of reasons, not all down to the manager either. We beat Wigan 5-0 at their place under McCann the next time we played them and that game could also quite easily have been an eight niller on another day. Swings and roundabouts, swings and roundabouts.
    The half time team dressing down at Man City on the pitch was toe curling embaressing, and I said at the time stood behind that goal that this will come back and bite us on the bum, it was worse than Sunday League stuff, totally amateurish, and uncalled for. Players have come out and said so since. I don't think Phil Brown would do it again.

    ...Only 7-0 down at Wigan at half time!....Sounds as if Hull have turned a corner.
