triggs Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 He did a decent job. They sold one of their best players to us and bought nobody decent to improve on a team which finished 4th in the Championship last season. They had also been unlucky in a lot of games lately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They were always going to get relegated imo. Look at their signings and departures. Ryan Mason, Will Kean, Mbokani ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They were going down, they're still going down. It genuinely makes no difference. If they're already preparing for Championship life though, I'm surprised they went for Silva. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Think we're massively underestimating the effect of a manager when we're accepting 13 points from 20 games as a good job regardless of the circumstances like. That includes a really decent opening to the season too (winning their first 2 games, so 7 points in 18 games really). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 That Silva dude got some Portuguese team promoted and then finished 4th the following season, seems a fairly decent albeit risky choice. Would far prefer him over Steve Bruce (or Phelan) if I was a Hull fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Usual 'why not give a British manager a chance' and 'what does he know about the Premier League?' tripe regarding this appointment on SSN. Talking about a club that have just sacked a British manager with about as much experience of the Premier League as you can possibly get. He left them rock bottom of the league.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I do think that Phelan was a bit unlucky mind. Their record was shit, but I expected far worse from them considering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 How many British managers are in charge of clubs abroad? And of the 71 British managers in charge of an English club at the moment, how many of them have ever been abroad to manage? Maybe the lack of good British managers is down to the fact that none of them are willing to go away and learn from elsewhere but just stay stuck in their same old routine and ways.

The College Dropout Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 British football is proudly ignorant. There's some shaudenfraude(sp?) when an articulate or "progressive" manager is found to be wanting in the league. Many would love Pep to fail for that reason.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thought Hull looked miles better against Man U than they did against us. Maybe this forrin bastard actually knows a thing or two? They started the game with a clear gameplan to play the ball about and attack Man Utd but just lacked the personell for it I thought, even more so when Henriksen went off (and he's only been there a week). Definitely looks promising though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
