Liam Rosenior!!

[Jon with no H]

Why can't I go past the name without thinking of Leonard Rossiter?View attachment 15312

That's his Dad isn't it, he used to manage Torquay...

 

[ping g5]

Thing is, there is no appointment we can make that will please everyone. Someone will find a reason to disapprove whoever we get... Not won anything, boring football, not experienced et al. But this is the first name that has really piqued the interest of a massive majority and I think that the club would be daft not to at least ask the question.

I reckon he'd be up for it... perhaps he was so keen to shake ND's hand after the game so he could tell him 'i think I'll be sacked next week...call me!'

just looked at the final league placings,if hull had beaten us they would have had 73 points,the same amount as norwich,however,to overhaul norwich and therefore claim a play off spot hull would have needed an 8-0 win.i still don't understand the clamour but will be happy to be persuaded otherwise.

Haven't read through 13 pages so may have been mentioned already but Sunderland are in the market for a new manager too, and they will more match Rosenior's ambition.
Can easily see him going there. Think we might go for Skubala. Yes, he has that scary England Youth link, but he had Lincoln purring and just missing out on the playoffs against much larger budgets..

I think the clue is that Hull didn't realise the WBA score - until some kind fellows in the Dem'port advised them.
Had WBA lost, then Hull would have made the playoffs (if they beat Argyle).

Some Hull fans were critical of an over cautious approach at home which resulted in points being dropped.........

 

[Balham Green]

Watching LR shaking the hands of each and every one of our players, on Saturday speaks volumes for the man.

Sadly, for LR, the defeat at HP means another manager to the sacrificial altar of foreign chairmen who don't really have a clue how to run a football club.

Had they beaten us, they would have been in the playoffs. Tight margins? Or pathetic chairmen?

They wouldn't have been in the play offs.

Anyone looking for why Liam Rosenior might be a perfect fit for Argyle should read this EFL article (see below). He seems well placed to develop the 'One Argyle' philosophy even further with his conduct, manner, candour and drive in a footballing geographic outpost as Hull were. I just wonder if the bruising of the departure from a club and a city he loved means he might want some time out. We'll see.

Just to touch on Hull missing out on the play offs, some seem to be using that as a stick to beat Rosenior with, but I don’t think that’s fair.

I made a comment at the start of the season that 16 or 17 teams would have been thinking they “should” be in the top 6 or that they could compete to be in the top 6. Sunderland would have thought that. Stoke would have thought that. Watford would have thought that. Middlesbrough would have thought that. And so on. There are a lot of good teams in the Championship, why should Hull have finished above West Brom or Norwich? What metric are we using to say that? Norwich and West Brom have money as well, probably more than Hull.

Hull were 21st when Rosenior took over. They’re now 7th. He’s done a good job.

Also, we aren’t looking for a head coach who is going to get us into the play offs next season, so the fact that Hull missed out is slightly irrelevant. We’re looking for a coach to improve upon where we finished this season - 21st - which Rosenior has proven he can do.

I was pretty ambivalent before reading that article. I wonder if the Chairman wanted to buy in short term gains whilst LR wanted to pursue the longer term build approach?

Whatever- the words would surely appeal to SH et al. No doubt though that he would want more than a Chief Coach role

i agree he did a "good" job there but not a great job.if he gets the job,i wish him well.

Spot on. Realistic ambitions will attract the right person for us and recognising what and where we are at this moment WILL make us a good fit for some.

well WBA did not lose and if i was a hull fan i would want liam to really go for a huge,on the front foot win.

It's probably more about the salary than the job title.

You're right. I meant to say "had Norwich lost as well". Then they would have been in the playoffs.

Narrow margins.
