Denbury Red Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hardly a surprise. Dont really know much about him - but seems really uninspiring in all his interviews! At least we haven’t got to play them just after they get a new Manager, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as I’m aware, their owners have been trying to sell them for years after trying & failing to change their name to Hull Tigers or have I missed something? The Allams or something like that?

Ignoring the fact that he was just Dexter Fletcher method acting as a Russian, he's got a top surname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red panda Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Brentford next, then Cardiff, Leeds, Derby and Fulham. Tough run of fixtures for a new manager. But could do us a favour if someone comes in and gets them organised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't mistaken, he has had business interests in Hull for many years. He may not have been born in the U.K., but there won't be too many more local owners (us & Boro excepted).

Done a lot for Hull area / community, but I think the Hull Tigers name idea made him sound like a Vincent Tan type, and that tarred his reputation. Was quite ill during that period too.

Tipps69 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 The trouble is, any foreign manager coming into a league that they have no history of, are going to need substantial funds made available so they can sign the players that they can trust (just as any British manager tends to do as they take on a new job) & settle into the job & give them an opportunity to start well but because of Hull’s ongoing ownership issues where the Allam’s have been trying to sell them, they have not made any form of substantial funds available, especially for a team that has been in the Premier League & it left Slutsky working with a group of players that he probably knew very little about! Add to that that they sold their decent players during the summer & never really replaced them, Slutsky was always on a hiding to nothing, his big hope was that his friendship with Abramovich was going to mean that he could ‘borrow’ all these Chelsea superstars, I think that amounted to two players with no Chelsea first team experience & did little to fill the holes by the players that were sold!! Any manager going into a club like Hull are on a hiding to nothing, they are going to get little money because who’s going to want to spend money on something that they are trying to sell? And unless they hit the floor running, they are unlikely to get any real opportunity at the job because the owners are going to expect a push at promotion as they have little or no knowledge of the game & just expect success. With the state the club are in now, they are more likely to lose players than attract anyone of any decent caliber & what’s the chances that Chelsea recall their players back as their reason for loaning the players is no longer there!! The owners still want to sell, so there will be little or no money made available for January & if anything I can see the start of the asset stripping!! Is there anyone worthwhile us making a move for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he the one that was going to walk if they weren't allowed to change their name to the Tigers? getting like the Prem with certain managers brought in as firemen to keep them up...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 He was a gonner after the embarassment of throwing away a 2 nil lead to Bristol City, as if everyone should be expected to beat us. Not sure who would be interested in that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 That`s two that have been sacked after the game after they lost to us. Him and Simon Grayson. Thinking about it, is Grayson a shout to go to Hull now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetVictor have Nigel Adkins as odds-on favourite, then Lambert at 3/1, then a big gap to the likes of Grayson, Pearson, Poyet, Karanka and Giggs at 25s.
