Had Hull gone down last season would anyone have seen it as anything other than 'as expected'? <br /><br />The way he kept them up (European form at first, huge collapse after) accentuated their fall but if you look at it in terms of his pre-season objective last season he achieved it - Hull stayed up. <br /><br />Problem now is they look completely devoid of ideas and losing 4-0 then 6-1 is not a promising signal. Unfortunately for him I think he's lost the dressing room and can't see him lasting too much longer at Hull. In many respects I agree with Tom.

The way he kept them up (European form at first, huge collapse after) accentuated their fall but if you look at it in terms of his pre-season objective last season he achieved it – Hull stayed up.

Problem now is they look completely devoid of ideas and losing 4-0 then 6-1 is not a promising signal. Unfortunately for him I think he's lost the dressing room and can't see him lasting too much longer at Hull.

Whether he had no money or not I don't know but he needed to buy defenders who have premier league experience, are not going to demand too many wages and can marshal the team from the back. He should know this from his days at Bolton under Sam Allardyce when Sam bought older players to come in and help the younger ones. <br /><br />One final note, even though everyone talks about the Manchester City moment, surely that can't have the stayed in the players minds for too long as they are professionals and should be able to mentally be fit as well as physically fit. I worry for Hull, I really do.
