I was hoping we'd poach a manager this time around, someone who was performing well or had some recent success, whether relative or otherwise (although Still would have been an interesting appointment). Hull fans seem to rate him anyhow, could end up getting lucky with his sacking if indeed he gets the job.

He's shite mate. Sacked from Hull. Pathetic imo

I think if the pros you state were correct the owner would not have sacked him for narrowly missing out. Obviously there was more to it than that.

He had just signed a 3 year contract. The chairman is a bit of a nut job who made his money due to erdawans dictatorship.

Who's to say he wasn't at his interview?

AZ are one of the 'rubbish' teams though I think.

I mean, I have next to no knowledge of dutch football as I don't watch it but I think he did fairly well at a club that isn't fancied at all, and he did quite well in Europe iirc.

Their fans expect them to finish 4th, so I assume they're pretty much the best of the rest.

It seems to me that Jansen did a decent, if unspectacular job there and the fans were happy enough to see him leave.

Been listening to a couple of hull city podcasts out of curiosity. What I gleaned:

Pros
Phenomenal at developing players
Away form fantastic
Big clubs trusted him with their assets
Methodical football
Apparently some of the best football they have ever played
Games lost by fine margins partially because they had no strikers
Fans genuinely gutted he was sacked

Cons
Terrible home form
Slow football
Inexperienced

The more I hear it sounds very, very like a younger Mowbray. His sacking was the other side of the coin we faced when Mowbray got us into the playoffs. If he had have finished just outside the playoffs, I think we would have sacked him.

Sliding doors.

That's the point isn't it - Mowbray ticked all the boxes and he was stymied last year by having no senior strikers. XG fell off a cliff when he left.

Cam reckons the plan has been Rosenior since Beale was sacked, and had Hull kept him, we’d have taken him from them with ease.

Here's a thought, what if we were the reason he was sacked?

And this whole 100+ days thing has been a bit of a smokescreen so we didn't get blamed for sniffing round an under contract manager? Especially as that manager hadn't long signed a 3 year contract. Also the more I look into it, hull played some of their best football under him, and if it wasn't for some key injuries and a lack of a striker would have hit the playoffs, no small achievement given the spending power and the quality of some of the playoff teams.

SuperGran inspired him.
Local and working class.

Hope we get either Still or Jansen, if KLD was serious in the statement he sent out about them learning from last season then Rosenior is not the answer, his stats at Hull from 78 games were about 34% win, about 35% draw and about 31% loss in the championship. Pascal Jansen had 58% win at AZ over 162 games in the Dutch top league, Still had a 38% win at Reims over 65 games, his stats a little better than Roseniors but in the French top league. If it is Rosenior an underwhelming appointment then I feel it will be Groundhog day and we will be looking for another manager in no time.
