Sykes Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 For anyone who hasn't I'd recommend that you read up on our manager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos_Luhukay Jos got a couple of 2. Bundesliga teams promoted and was quickly sacked/resigned the following seasons as the teams he got promoted were in relegation battles in their new league, he could never establish a foothold in the German 1st division. The EFL Championship is just as competitive as Bundesliga, nevermind 2. Bundesliga. How was hiring him as the manager of a team wanting promotion to the Premier league justified? If we were going for a foreign unknown manager, why would we go for somebody who's success is inconsistent and in an unequal league to that of our own? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managing Sheffield Wednesday is a top job, regardless of constraints. I would be very confident that when the position of manager arises, the candidates are very high in both numbers and talent.

The stats show that L2 in Germany is performing better than the Championship! Two promotions from a competitive division shows that JL is no flash in the pan - this and the fact he’s working at changing our ageing culture, fills me with hope. Whilst current performances are at times a ‘needs must’ and inconsistent, with much patience I think we’ll reap the benefits. Whether he’ll be granted that in modern day football is another matter.

At the time of the appointment, we had about 17 first team regulars sidelined, no money to spend on reinforcements (save for about £300K - £400K perhaps), just beaten 3-0 at home by Burton Albion and in the midst of a relegation battle. I don't think the options were as widespread as you are mooting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I think he’s done ok in terms of stabilising is. But do we let him build for the future? I’m sure he has the capability to but if the fans don’t like him it will ultimately be a matter of time before he goes and awaste of funds.

Mr Farrell Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It lined those that recommended hims pockets. He was an unemployed, unqualified, third rater. We were done. Again. Our pants have been permanently down since DC took over, and we are seen as a soft touch cash cow in my view. Not Jos's fault though. Why would he turn down his biggest payday.

Adam Reachs left peg Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Came with a reputation as a defensive manager yet we have joint worst defence in the league, however i dont think we will really see what hes about until hes giving some financial backing and that wont happen until some of the big earners are let go . He has only signed 3 players in ten months remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I don't give a monkeys arse about the German League this is the English Championship League (and we are sadly near the bottom of it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I reckon he was a contact of Katrien's. He was appointed shortly after her, from roughly the same part of the world and they seemed particularly pally when sat together in the Directors' Box just before Jos officially got the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the feeling if you travel from Hook in Hampshire. Went down there for a business trip not so long ago. A well known whiskey and spirits distributor that wants to get into the China market. A long journey down from Lincolnshire. If you go to every home game, I take my hat off to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
