He didn't do an interview in English until he went to Spurs - he would have been hounded from day 1. Only by idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Wagner or hughton would be my choice . Whether either would come is open to question - unlikely if either wins promotion. Edited February 15, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither will come here I am afraid as we are as a club at the moment. rowett smith or warnock are more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think, with an extremely poor hull team, he's doing a great job and has at least given them a chance of survival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been impressed with Hull under him. They actually have phases in their play and use tactics something were incapable of under Bruce 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM has spent most of his playing and managerial career in the UK so I would hardly class him as a progressive manager from abroad. So we are dismissing the failures then, Venglos, Gross, Santini, Perrin, Zajec, Ramos, Magath, Solksjaer, Mel, Meulensteen to name a few more. Yes some work but it's no guarantee and in real terms a much bigger gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Never wanted Bruce but was willing to give him the benefit of doubt. Started to warm to him when we got a few wins but since the new year my previous views on him have returned. That said unless we are in with a realistic of chance of getting relegated I don't see what getting rid of him this season would achieve? Needs time to build and shape the team, but if we are still shit get rid in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Like I said it really is pointless sacking him at this stage. It's better giving him until enD of season and of we are still this shit he has to go But I suspect he may be gone if he hasn't won in next 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suggested that we should go foreign because all British managers are dinosaurs, I was pointing out to you that going foreign is not any guarantee of success. If I had to make an appointment now I would go for Houghton at Brighton if I was going British, preferably Wagner if I had an open choice. Would either come,............

Zatman Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I dont think its pointless at all sacking him. He has shown absolutely nothing to suggest we keep him. Cant think of anything positive that he has brought to the club and nothing to indicate he will pick up 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton is an unrealistic suggestion. It would be highly unlikely that any manager doing well in the English leagues will leave their jobs to come to a demoralised, struggling team that is being dragged into a relegation battle. Out of the available English managers there is only Pardew, Rowett and Warburton that jump out. Rowett would probably be the best of them but is a bit of a risk and may not be a huge upgrade on Bruce in terms of tactics. He might be better at motivating the team and bringing a bit of confidence back but I can't see him setting up a team capable of winning the Championship in the next couple of seasons. I wouldn't be happy with Pardew or Warburton as there is too much potential for things to go downhill even more. To find a good available manager it might be a wise decision to broaden the clubs horizons. Stephen Kenny of Dundalk would be another foreign manager I would be happy with. He breeds confidence into his players, has his teams well set up and they play a good brand of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't do any worse than Bruce has but I reckon there would be a limit to his ability level. I could be wrong and he could be as good as Sean Dyche but I doubt it.

Dave J Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Glenn Hoddle, Eddie Howe or our very own David Platt with an elder statesman alongside him I'd be ok with any of these. Some might say Platt's ship has sailed but with the right man alongside him I think he could still cut the mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
