Hull City can confirm we have parted company with head coach Tim Walter with immediate effect.

Assistant head coaches Julian Hübner and Filip Tapalović have also left the club.

First-team coach Andy Dawson will take interim charge while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a permanent successor.

We would like to thank Tim, Julian and Filip for their efforts during their time at the MKM Stadium and wish them well for the future.

I hope it's a bit more "thorough" than last time
This is the 4th time of asking, Acun really needs to get it right this time!!!!

Bit harsh on Pearson to lump him in with Big Sam.

Why? Big Sam is much more accomplished. The point was these are the kind of managers you can rely on to come in to a mess like this, get them organised and get a tune out of them. As we near the end of January, that will be what we need. Right now I think there is still enough time that Acun will either gamble, or get someone who has had some real success abroad like that guy he was after before Rosenior that eventually turned us down.
 
Thanks Tim and best wishes to you and your team.

A very brave decision to move to another country and bring your family with you. I hope it isn't too difficult for them.

You were dealt a **** hand by a club that couldn't run a piss up.

You also need to learn a little flexibility goes a long way, but hey what do I know.

Hope the future holds success and happiness wherever you go.

UTT

I just think Pearson is more of a well-rounded manager who can build a team over time and play positively, unlike Allardyce who is more of a "keep them up" merchant. Probably both past their sell by date in terms of commanding players' respect though.
 
Let’s be honest we all expected this. Tim’s position was intolerable and City could not let it continue. Acun now is looking for a steady hand and possibly a more realistic mid table position this term. I hope though that Acun has learned a lot from this. For me a proper director of football is needed. In Tim’s defense there was no real threat signed up front and how long have we needed a goal scoring talisman. Good luck to Tim and his team for the future and I am sorry it didn’t work out for him. I am confident that Acun has the best interest of the club at heart still but I hope he has learned from this experience. I believe we have some good players here but we need a strong spine and we don’t have that yet. I hope January addresses that.

We’re not in a position to take a gamble with someone with no experience of English football.

Surprised not to see Schumacher on that list, but Robins and Cooper would seem safe bets. Bloomfield would be an interesting one, while Van Nistelrooy would certainly add a bit of stardust.

I think the players will respond positively to whoever comes in as I feel they just don’t like the system and haven’t really warmed to Walter as a person.

Any of the above will get a better tune out of our mid-table squad.

This is such a tired cliche. Why not? Are Sunderland and Norwich struggling under Le Bris and Thorup?
 
Now that would be a great shout… has my vote for what it’s worth…

Ruud Van Nistelrooy 2/1 33.3%
 
I’m fairly confident Walter will still go on to have a decent coaching career after City somewhere on the continent.

Anyone remember Markus Schopp at Barnsley? He was absolutely dreadful there and had a 6.25 win % in 16 games which is worse than Walter’s 16.67% in 18 games at City. Schopp ended up back in Austria and has coached Hartberg and currently coaches LASK in the Austrian Bundesliga and is doing really well now. Football’s a funny old game.

Perhaps, but I doubt we'll see him manage in the English leagues again
