As a Hull city fan, I agree with pretty much everything here, he sure tainted his reputation with a few strange episodes last season, but like Alan Pardew has done, will have reflected and learned and will come back better. I honestly think he's your best bet, over De Boer, Allardyce, Redknapp, etc. Rodgers would be too much of a gamble so soon after Liverpool, his confidence must be shot to **** right now.
Dream worth holding on to that - 1 wants to come here, 2. NE links 3. Legendary status 4. Give our young guns a chance 5. will not suffer fools in the background or on the pitch - now back to reality - tossing it down outside & road floods ...
6 - if you don;t sign with his agent you don;t get a chance, 7 - will drop you because you're about to break his mates record and replace you with Gareth Hall? Reid was great at the start of the SoL era but made some very questionable decisions as manager - Thomas Helmer, one of the most gifted footballer ever to play for Sunderland - couldn't get a game under him!! He said his legs had gone and I believe he played in the champs league about 3 months later!
Plus the fact he has been out of the premiership for a long time and he last managed Plymouth for a year in 2010......plus the fact he is getting on a bit and it was hard enough understanding him 20-years ago, he'd just want to smack everyone on the back of the head between nodding off and going for a piss Brendon Rodgers may be shot to bits mentally. .......or he might be mad as a box of spiders and wanting revenge, in which case maybe?
Not sure, but I think he would be an asset. Accepted though, not as the manager, that would probably destroy his career as well. Fek, are we in a mess
dont want Allardyce, Rodgers, Redknapp, Pearson, Viera or Dyche. i'd have taken Moyes or Laudrup, i'd even have been willing to give MickMc his old job back (this time he'd have some money to spend) but right now: i want Bob Bradley. seems like a dedicated chap. I would have liked Dick to stay on 'til the end of the season regardless of where we ended up if only to prove we can go a full season with one guy in charge. But he chose to walk away and as disappointing as it is if he feels he wasn't up to it then fair play for holding his hands up and stepping aside. He had the clubs best interests at heart in that respect.
MM was probably one of the top mgr we've had considering a his shoe string budget (Aka Mr Murray) - he got really good players from lower pro leagues & had them over performing - a real motivator & streetwise with fans & media - now what's he doing ??
Questionable. I once heard Bob Murray telling BBC 5 Live that Mick "had money available. He wouldn't spend it". Don't know if it's right or wrong mind.
Wouldn't touch Brendan Rodgers with a barge pole personally - he couldn;t sort out Liverpool's defence and it's better than ours! Swansea he fell into a good thing which had been set up for him. Coupled with the arrogant celebration for his sides goals and the fact that he's a **** and the fact that Borini can;t stand him... I don't want him!! Can you tell?
He also spent around 12.5m on about 13 players when you could pick up quality of our level for around 3-4m! 3 or 4 qualty signings would've kept us up that season - a good strengthening is what we needed not a new team of average/crap players! Not such a shoe-string budget back then
Robbie Stockdale anyone? He could be an Eddie Howe or Garry Monk - young, British, based on the U21s a good football philosophy. Looking at how well the U21s are performing why not? I think will him manager it would allow us to integrate more young players into the team. I know its a risk - but the way I see it every manager is a risk. We've apparently had good managers in the past like MON and DA, so what makes you all think SA or anyone in that mould will do well? Stockdale is a type of manager we haven't tried. Yes Di Canio and Poyet were young but they were both arrogant bat sh*t crazy foreign pricks who believed they were the messiah or something.
