AthleticoSpizz …..anyways
Close the thread, Cardiff have appointed Riza until the end of the season (at least)…they will not be hiring Selles

leon Football people's career decision making never fails to amaze me. Particularly managers. They really aren't very clever and chasing the latest shiny bauble thinking it will be different for them.

morganb How does the Hull squad compare to ours?
What style do they play?
Do they have any real standout players?
Are they all wizened old pros who might not adapt to his style and be disruptive (see: Carroll, A)?
Which of our players, if any, do we think he'll come back for in the January window?

AthleticoSpizz (yet) Once again
Let’s us hear his (Selles) reasoning before we cast judgement on his decision
(I feel sure it won’t be the generic “a bigger club with stellar ambitions and ownership” bs)….and is this his “first opportunity”?
Let’s wait a bit

Pepe the HorsemanAthleticoSpizz Fair enough, but he did love the club enough to fore-go / delay payment of his own wages to ensure the ground staff got their wages before Christmas last year (when they were threatened with going without)
Again doesn't suggest he loves the club, just shows he's a nice guy.

Carnabyswhiskers Given the circumstances under which he has operated, how close is Selles to unseating Coppell as our greatest ever manager? No comparison on the playing record, so probably not. But had he stuck around and got promotion with this group of players under this regime, which way would other posters have gone?

Hound It’s different circumstances with Selles. A lot of his popularity has come from how he has handled the situation and comes over as a thoroughly decent chap. The refusal to criticise referees, opposition etc as well
He’s proven to be a good to excellent manager once he settled in and a fantastic man manager. Whether he has the ability to transfer this everywhere he goes - be interesting to see
In terms of Hull, they were absolutely abysmal in the pre season friendly. I think he has his work cut out there from the look of them and their chairman
I can see him taking an interest in Savage, Elliott and Knibbs if they are going cheap in Jan. possibly a couple of youth lads who thinks have the potential - maybe a Spencer or Ahmed for example
Anyway good luck to him. I’ve always liked him as a person even if he had a rocky start. Deserves to do well somewhere and will keep an eye on how he goes

I’d have him behind McGhee too. Now we just have to wait to see who goes with him in January.

I'd have McGhee ahead of Pardew, we were based at Elm Park then and Pardew was given significant funds to spend for third tier,

WestYorksRoyal If we were waiting on good news, this is about the stage it would all go quiet and nothing would happen.
