It’s not a case of trying to find reasons to back it up.He was part of a coaching team that was responsible for some awful performances and batterings and the head coach and assistant left yet he stayed…..in football if the manager gets the sack,all his back room staff go as well so why didn’t he?.Then his continuous talking of Balmforths performances or none performances,seemed as though it was “well Tony didn’t like him so I don’t”,still in contact asking Smiths advice,who got us in this mess is equally baffling.He has had better players at his disposal and may have stop the batterings for now but still have big teams to play.He hasn’t convinced me at all and I still say he is out of his depth and a lot may be down to Cummins and Ellis but we can all have our opinions and is good to have a reasonable debate over it.
What has happened at Hull following the departure of Smith seems pretty typical for when a head coach/manager leaves mid-season. Someone stepping up on an interim basis. If you’d got rid of all your back room staff, you’d have had no backroom staff. There aren’t many examples of people going into clubs from outside on an interim basis. Rangnick at Manchester United, and probably a few others. But the PL is a world away financially and has much bigger pool of candidates - most of whom won’t be being asked to chuck in a job as an electrician or PE teacher or whatever.
