We do have a new way of doing things!

The club is assembling a squad and then appointing a quality coach that can get the best out of his resources whilst being given the flexibility ( salary cap ) to bring in a couple of additions of his choosing. Seems to make perfecy sense to be.

Alternativley maybe you would prefer it if we hade made no preperation for next season yet and then appoint a coach that is likely to have limited knowledge of the british market and try to start signing players that are not already tied up in october?

Or alternatively get out there and appoint a coach immediately after announcing your old one is leaving instead of waiting over a month before you start interviewing. Get him in place and let him select his own signings. If you were making quality additions then it's not such a problem but some of these recent signings just smack of depseration and cheapness.

Or the fact that they are cheap and worth a punt on to see if we can turn them into something good? Abit like Luaiki(spelling) at FC and leaving the majority of the Cap we have left so the new coach can bring good experienced additions to the squad that he thinks will benefit the side?

I just think you'd have been a lot better served appointing a coach when it was clear Morgan was going and let him make his own signings instead of throwing a bunch of average players at him. I think you already have (as we have) enough mediocre players and expecting 2 or 3 quality additions to offset that is too ambitious. We'll see in the fullness of time.

Have you not stopped and thought to realise that maybe these quality coaches were tied down with their current jobs and were only available to discuss terms after such a period.

But, yes, we could have appointed a coach immediately and let them make their own signings, but this coach would probably have been on the scale of R.Agar, or indeed worse...

Out of curiosity, was Morgan announced as leaving before Pearson took over Hull?

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

It's a ludicrous way of going about things. At the very worst coaches inherit a team that the previous incumbrant has painstakingly assembled. It's often, unless you are McGuire, difficult enough to mould someone else's team into the one you want.

That situation is difficult.

But to arrive and be offered a rag bag mixture of cheap and cheerful off cuts that your all singing all dancing new chairman has taken it upon himself to deem are required is unusual at the very least. Beyond the pale at most. He'll have to hope Hudge has saved a bit of cap room and has the money to spend, or your new man will be in the unenviable position of inheriting a team a cash strapped solicitor has randomly mustered up.

Problem is, Neil's previous attempts at signings, Cooke and Msson, weren't relevant to Morgan's plans and both unravelled into destructive disasters that actually undermined what Morgan was doing on the pitch. So Hudge's track record isn't great.

Hope it doesn't put anyone off.

Id love to be as cash strapped as him; pretty sure 99.9% of the people on here would aswell.

Not doing bad if hes skint is he really.... sponsors the KC East Stand, a stand at Elland Road, runs a rather large solictors company. Offsets the clubs own funding by putting his own money into the club.

Dont let facts get in the way of your FC blinkers though will you pal. eusa_clap.gif

Hudge loves signing players and tbf, for what he's done for our club most fans would allow him to do anything he wants, he's pretty much earned it.

You're right, it didn't work out when we had a coach so this way Hudge can sign all the players he fancies and then sign a coach who he thinks can do a job. Obviously he'll leave the coach a bit of cap space to get his own welcome presents.

It's a genius plan.

After over a decade as chairman, I'm not sure you can refer to Hudge as an "all singing all dancing new chairman".

He's all-singing-all-dancing in that he likes to have a go at most of the jobs down at Caravan Park. And he'll be the new coach's new chairman, regardless of how long he's been at Rovers. Silly.

We know this, we've all had a laugh about it as much, if not more than you undesirables.

Awful semantic pedantry.

Not at all. I can't help it if you don't read things correctly in the first place.

So we agree on everything else? Wonderful. It's just the pointy shoes in the "lounge", then...

Hes put plenty into our club, and i would be shocked if anyone Rovers fan or not wouldnt see that.

Jealous of a man putting money into the club he loves and wouldnt see in the gutter rather then someone who is 100% into it for himself (ala pearson)...?
