Has anyone mentioned that his father Leroy Rosenior managed with some success at Torquay and took them up to League 1 I seem to remember. Maybe he would say to his son that the South West is a great place to live and work...….that's if he actually moved to the area with his family...including Liam.
Thanks Justin,Hull are 8th in the full season Championship attacking xG table, with an average xG of 1.29 per game.
They‘re also 8th for defensive xG - with an average of 1.10 conceded per game..
For comparison, Argyle are 16th in the attacking xG table (1.08 per game), and 23rd (yikes) for defensive xG (1.52), just ahead of Rotherham on 1.62.
(NB this does not include final game of the season)
I would agree, I doubt if he want to come down to our budget level, he might feel that he deserves / wants to try further up the table given how well he did in the circumstances at both Derby and Hull.The likelihood of Argyle getting LR is virtually zero.
Yes, he was sacked from Hull, but its widely regarded in the football world that he did an excellent job.
He'll want a club with minimum aspirations of the play offs... and not just wishful thinking of getting there.
Don't get your hopes up guys as this is not going to happen.
I'm sure a lot of people said this when we appointed Foster!Playing at a higher level doesn't always convert to being a good head coach/manager. Rooney, Gerrard, Gary Neville to name just a few.... In fact a lot of the top managers never played at a high level, Mourinho,
Tuchel etc.
I'm sure a lot of people said this when we appointed Foster!
You are right though. Prioritise man management skills and playing philosophy here. Cultural fit in other words. This is everything, whatever it is you do for a living. We shoukd take Schumacher's best characteristics and use them as a template. Brave, honest, clear attacking principles and footballing philosophy, clear personal philosophy too. Can they build on this amazing dressing room? How do they treat people? Some of this can be assessed in interview, but people obviously present an idealised version of themselves in interview. I know I do. It's a daft way of hiring to be honest. The other thing is something called due diligence. You can't select on an interview or qualifications alone. Talk to people they worked with - players, agents, coaches. Do some reading, be methodical. If you see something you don't like bring it up in interview. They just can't possibly have done much of that with foster.
I think we've already seen badges mean absolutely eff all. Anyone can pick up a qualification and that goes for any job. A championship manager needs that special sauce, especially at a club like ours. I would involve someone like Joe Edwards in the interview process. Its essential the players are on board. Have the take a session as part of the interview! Why not?
The problem is a lot of this stuff... it's intangibles. You can have all the data you like there's no stat that shows if someone is the end if a bell or not, and whether they make training fun. You need to gather that info yourselves.

I can almost guarantee that we won't see another Ian Foster in the top job at Home Park again. Not because we'll be more careful in future, but because luckily there aren't many Ian Fosters out there.
I stopped reading when you said $$ was "honest", replace with conman and i agree 🤣I'm sure a lot of people said this when we appointed Foster!
