Speculation And manager for next season?

[Lako42]

cant help but think we were running on fumes physically and mentally towards the end of the season.

Why?

They strolled around like they didn't give a **** for about 25 games

Why?

And the first half of the bournemouth game.

 

[Macky]

Macky must have given them up as there's pretty much **** all from him nowadays

I've been too busy taking copious amounts of them fitz, that's the trouble

 

[SJN-Fox]

I see Gary Monk has become available.

I think Palace are after him mate

 

[SJN-Fox]

Good! Let them have him.

 

[Volpone]

Pearson gets the Boro job and takes Shakey as his assistant.

 

[popillius]

Silva has just quit Hull. If we are to replace Shakespeare, he may get the nod.

 

[City Fan]

Crikey. It's going to be one hell of a managerial merry-go-round this summer.

 

[Graz]

Silva likely to go to Palace apparently. Wouldn't be a bad choice for us though.

I still think we'll get/want Mancini.

Hull were relegated, right?

 

[SJN-Fox]

I don't think shakey will be going anywhere.

 

[City Fan]

Hull were relegated, right?

Indeed.

They lost 2-0 at home to the worst team in the division when they were supposed to be fighting for their lives, and then lost 7-1 at home to Spurs. Shakespeare got rightly criticised for our embarrassing capitulation against Spurs, yet Hull's was worse.

Not for me thanks.

Yup, don't get the hype.

Yup, don't get the hype.

His name is exotic, always means he's amazing

Marco Silva has rightly got an excellent reputation as a young coach. The job he has done at each of the clubs he's worked at is impressive, including leading Slimani and co. to a trophy in Portugal (their first one in 7 years).

The job at Hull was pretty much impossible. The club is/was a farce and in January they sold their main two assets in Livermore and Snodgrass. Despite this, had Hull maintained their form under Silva over an entire season, they would have got more points than we did last year.

Listen to the Hull players talk about him and you'll get an idea of what he's about. They gave him their all.

Personally, I'd prefer Mancini. I can only assume that the longer we go without appointing Shakespeare (or anyone else), the more it has to do with us waiting on somebody. It may be that we're waiting on Mancini to make a decision about where he's going before we consider other options.

So, which one of you are Paul Merson?

I read his record with them was 8-3-11 on the BBC. How many did we lose in the whole of our title winning season?

I'm sure he's a good manager but most teams (us included) have a rebound effect after a manager's sacking and then reality sets in. On your criteria if Leicester had maintained their form under shakey we would have had a perfect season.

Personally I think he did a great job.
Hull were relegation certainties from last summer. They lost there arguably best player in the winter (snodgrass) but still managed to put up a fight.

He did. Under the most impossible of situations and with about 15 players at his disposal after all of their assets worthy of anything had been sold, he still managed to put some fire and fight into them and got some near impossible results. His reputation is excellent and for good reason. I'm not saying we should go for him, I'm really not sure about the whole manager situation at all. To say that he isn't good enough because Hull were relegated is just nonsense however. Newcastle were relegated with Benitez but I think a lot of fans would take him in a heartbeat.
