Mr Popodopolous Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Rosenior got backed reasonably well at Hull too. Kean Lewis Potter sale plus years of austerity and an ambitious new owner helped to give them a platform. Here while elements of FFP imposing conditions, £30-35m fees in, about £6-7m spent. Plus wage bill declining vs surely rising at Hull under their new owner. Edited November 2, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 4 minutes ago, CliftonCliff said: That actually is not entirely beyond the bounds of possibility, in my opinion (and no, I don't know anything, apart from the relevant history that we're all aware of). Nor am I advocating it, thought the one redeeming aspect would be that it might provide some continuity and help preserve at least a little of the culture instilled by Pearson, which would be a small consolation. But would it not be Pearson by proxy? Not that that would necessarily be a bad arrangement, it's highly likely that Curtis is probably in regular contact with Nige.

Surely it takes at least 16 to find out he's not even being considered? But plenty of time for more outrage about a new manager we won't end up with. And it took 26. And plenty of outrage.

Bristol Oil Services Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Harry said: To be fair, Lampard has had a 5 year managerial career whilst Pearson has had a 25 year managerial career. And Frank has managed 2 clubs which are much bigger than anything Nigel ever managed. On merit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliOTIB Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Were doomed if we cant decide if frank would have been a good appointment, considering he managed in the champions league, got a chelsea team with no money into the top 4, got to the POF with derby, kept everton up. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were under him and still are truly woeful, but at least dog botherer has won a couple of matches since taking over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I really like Wade Elliott as a bloke, but please not him. He would be crucified by the fans (.............sacked by a small Lg 1 club ,etc ) and I would hate that . But just the sort of appointment those ****** muppets would make, just to piss off the fan base ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
