Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull (11 Viewers)

[Ring Of Steel]

I'm not too sure you realise what you are trying to jump in on, are you? Who is saying Hull are a bad club?

Just weird trying to post over and over without really saying anything.

Again, stop following me around, you’re obsessed

You really do struggle without another certain member on here. You can't throw shit about and let somebody else try to explain for you.

You don't even realise what you're arguing about on this thread.

We finished 6 points worse off than the season before , in terms of league performance we practically stalled .. but the cup run was incredible .. it wasn't a bad season at all up until hull we were probably on a better trajectory than the playoff season

Incredible is a good way to put it - we had one of the easiest roads to the semi-final you could ever imagine. It takes on outsize importance because of those Wolves and Man Utd games (one of which we still lost!) and we’ll all wear it as a badge of honour, but you can’t use it to say last season was a success or that it proved much about Robins’ abilities.

Hull finished 7th last season they're a good club

Clearly better than us as we finished 9th

this place is quality these days, we’re never more than 2 posts away from an argument about how good Robins was

Very fine lines it seems.

If we had made it to only our second FA cup Final in our history nobody could have tried to make out the season was anything but a success. But our 4th goal was given offside by a very narrow margin with only seconds to go. Does that mean Robins is only suited to lower down sides?

They're a good club despite whatever mental aerobics you try and throw into it , they were premier league not too long ago

Not a club that will give him much time though. Bolton in L1 would be interesting for him, or a club like that he can rebuild

I agree he won't get the time

He thrives in the underdog role which Hull aren’t really. Good number of clubs further down who do fit that description and would allow him to build them up again.

We haven't been the underdog for about 3 seasons really have we ?

We last were in summer 23. Then pissed a load of money up the wall

After everything robins has achieved I don't think he should drop a league personally. Championship job at the very least.

Not sure hull is right one though. Maybe a break be better for him

His record on a shoestring budget is exceptional. His record with free rein and a bumper budget, not so.

Some managers do best when decision paralysis is removed from the equation. He is one

This is bollocks really isn’t it. Could easily say his record with Badlan scouting is better than it is with Austin. He barely wasted a penny until then.

Our run to the Semis was almost identical to Sheff Utd's the year before...

None of it counts. We were awful for eight years. Worst years of being a CCFC fan. Thank you Doug for saving us.

Well, no it isn’t. When you have less to spend you have to extract the most from what you’ve got and spend what you do have more wisely. Even then we still had the likes of Tyler Walker cost a fair wedge of our funds and not work out.

Maybe but he may think he deserves a shot at better teams. God knows he has earnt that right

Some cov fans may think he's not suited to elite chasing teams he prob thinks different. After all he basically got us to a fa cup final last year

Literally only Tyler Walker out of all the signings over a nominal fee. And he was top scorer first year and did a job.

 

[SBT]

Not really. We played the lowest-ranked team to ever make the Fifth Round, at home!

I was a huge Robins fan, but being able to beat Oxford (L1), Sheffield Wednesday (bottom of Championship) and Maidstone all at home, plus a stellar result against Wolves isn’t the reason why. Nor would it convince me that any manager was worth keeping on.

The point is, we had much fewer options and he had less to work with. Once the budget increased dramatically it went a bit kid in a sweet shop. That and the expectation levels soared in a short time.

There was plenty wasted

Did he? Because it seems the whole slate suddenly took a turn for the worse across the board. I think it makes far more sense that a change in recruitment staff was to blame than some idea you can be good with little money but poor with lots of it.

Go on. Who cost more than say £500k and was a failure other than Walker?

Having fewer options makes management simpler in many ways, it’s not a bizarre idea.

Sheff Utd were 2 Champ, 1 NL and 1 Prem, so as I say, almost identical. Similar with Millwall 2014. Just saying an easy run isn't that rare.

Hilßner cost us £750k over his contract and we paid a fee.

But he hasn’t had fewer options. He’s had a squad of about twenty the whole time. He’s not bought players that we dont need, the squad if anything is a little short. We’ve overpaid on a couple but are told that’s Doug’s domain. The problem is that as a whole they’ve not been up to scratch. Is your contention that Austin was presenting options and Robins was picking the wrong ones?
