Hull set to appoint Tim Walter as their new coach

I really don’t get the reasoning behind giving managers 6 year deals!!! Complete madness!

Hull are close to appointing ex Hamburg manager Tim Walter as their new manager on a six year contract.

 

Do Hull have the Egyptian Mel in charge ? 🙈

It's bizarre because he's not exactly been incredible for Hamburg. Didn't get them out of the 2nd Division which isn't great for a club that size. He's 48, too, so not like a brand new manager to the game.

No, because he's actually Turkish, but just as mad it seems.

Utterly bizarre appointment. Not getting Hamburg out of the 2 Bundesliga should be career suicide.

I suppose you can see the thinking. Foreign coaches (Maresca, Rohl and Cifuentes are three good examples from this season alone) usually adapt pretty well to Championship football.

Most Championship clubs are looking to bridge a financial gap and sometimes unearthing a quality coach that can elevate the team and make the overall unit stronger is the answer. Bielsa at Leeds is the impact everyone is looking to emulate.

Hull might be taking a gamble but if they uncover a maverick coach who takes the Championship by storm, it will look totally worth it in 12 months.

There might some method to the madness. Let’s wait and see.

Hull owner has done a live fans thing tonight and some of the highlights include calling Aaron Connolly fat, calling Ryan Allsop bad (Rosenior refused to drop him) and has said passing between defenders is boring. There’s apparently been a lot more than just this.

I like it, hopefully he keeps it up. No doubt he will throw a lot of money at Hull but so did Vincent Tan at Cardiff, initially, Fawaz at Forest, Chansiri at Wednesday, Dai Yongee at Reading. All got in their own way, talking of a higher goal, erratic behaviours. This guy at Hull is dwarfed by all of these people in terms of net worth, albeit he’s a television personality that’s done well, but you can see the car crash a mile off.

So you’re saying the te tic is to pick some random crap manager and hope they just haven’t found the right club yet, and hope that your club is the right club and they’ll suddenly be amazing.

that sounds like chucking a dart at a list of names. There doesn’t seem to be any particular method in that.

it sounds like a bit of a Watford tactic. Then sack them when it doesn’t work after 6 months, and try again.
