I never saw baz's post/article... Was there any actual quotes from anyone or was it him just saying that's what he thought? From what I'm hearing things took a turn late yesterday in regards to a new person and such a decision on shota
Corberán would be a decent appointment. Worked wonders with a Huddersfield team on a shoestring budget that have since imploded after he left. Young, energetic coach who has no trouble communicating what he wants to the team. Don’t know why it didn’t work out in Greece for him. I’m sure someone on here who follows Greek football can tell us more.
Shota Arveladze is expected to be in the MKM Stadium dugout for Hull City's next Championship game against Luton Town on Friday week, despite fearing for his job this weekend. Arveladze had been braced for the sack after City's 3-0 thumping at Swansea City on Saturday in front of the television cameras left them 20th in the Championship, admitting that he feared the worst in a very downbeat post match interview. A fourth straight defeat with another three goals conceded to take the tally in the opening 10 games of the campaign left the Georgian braced for a departure after just 233 days in charge of the Tigers, but Hull Live understands that following a meeting with owner Acun Ilicali in South Wales, the City head coach will be given time to try and arrest the slide despite going to the meeting believing that his tenure with the Tigers was to end.
Also, it definitely is the players in addition to Shota. Maybe another coach could motivate them more but the big earners like Seri and Tufan just aren’t doing enough at the moment. We know they’re quality but the grit and determination we had last year has evaporated. New coach needs to get it back.
They’re both luxury players in a 3 man midfield alongside someone who can’t make up for it. Especially Seri as I think Tufan leads the press quite well but clearly the rest of them aren’t coached the same. Seri has been a disaster for me so far.
Maybe when returning to the training ground Tan and co had words with the dressing room he’s supposedly lost.
People need to realise managers don’t often decide on transfers these days, it’s 2022 not the 80’s At all the big clubs the transfer policy is set by the football director and that department. The manager may be involved at some point especially if it’s a world class manager like Klopp and Pep but even then, they’re told; we’ve identified a good player, make him perform in this team. Stop making excuses for a poor manager, he was never the man for the job.
What I don’t like is his managed here for 6 months, claimed he learnt loads and then signed loads of ineffective out of possession players in the most physically demanding league in the country.
Created more chances then anyone else in our team though, so can't be classed as a disaster, he's doing exactly what he was brought in to do, it's not his fault that he's been placed in a team with no bite and players to do the dirty work so he can create chances. We are just massively unbalanced and the blame for that has to be placed on owners/management/recruitment and not the individual players.
I’m not 100% certain I trust the source but hoping it’s true. The idea of him getting the Luton game seemed crazy to me but nothing at the moment surprises me with this football club.
I think with the transfers it was a case of Acun saying these players are potentially available, would you like them? To which Im sure he said yes, I also think if he said no we don't need that type of player we wouldn't have signed them. Equally I think if he said we are desperate for a CDM we would have went out and got one.
Acun and Kesler have to take full responsibility for the haphazard transfer policy then. It feels a lot like he did a favour for Tufan’s career, who was persona non grata at Fenerbaçhe. Good player technically but what Watford and Fener fans have said about his work-rate has come to pass. Seri is quality but with no ball-winner next to him, he’s like an Audi TT with no engine. We’ve also signed Woods who wasn’t the right midfielder we needed at the time and we’ve signed a kid from Arsenal who was already injured and two Chelsea academy lads on loan. I don’t think Mystic Meg could’ve envisioned how **** Figueiredo has been so I’ll let Acun and Kesler off for that. Oscar has been the only coup this summer. Probably also Allahyar before his injury too. Tetteh has also been decent. Mad that the bosses identified Ndayishimiye as a target in July, moved on after they couldn’t agree personal terms, then signed Woods.
True, just with our abundance of attacking midfielders surely the apparent huge wages he’s on could’ve been used elsewhere in making us more balanced. Our best performances this season haven’t had him in the side. Norwich and Burnley
