The good vibes have returned to Hull City but Acun Ilicali’s Birmingham City-esque rash decision to sack Liam Rosenior threatens to spoil all of that…News of Liam Rosenior being sacked by Hull City was dishearteningly not a shock at all at the end of a Championship season marred by fresh-faced owners making errors while learning on the job and in search of immediate success.
Over at Hull City, they have a similarly ambitious owner as Turkish businessman Acun Ilicali took control of the Yorkshire outfit in January 2022 after having a brief year-long stint at Dutch side Fortuna Sittard. Following their fall from the Premier League in 2017, most of the joy for Hull City supporters came during a single season following another relegation to League One as ex-boss Grant McMann masterminded promotion straight back to the Championship in 2021.
Appointing Rosenior also had the added benefit of Hull City acquiring an up-and-coming coach who is well-regarded among his peers and 18 months in; it looked to be working a treat.Last season, Rosenior fitted in seamlessly as he successfully guided Hull City to safety as they finished 15th and 14 points clear of the bottom three.
Given the calibre of the teams coming down from the Premier League, a finish in the play-offs was always going to be Hull City’s ceiling this season. While they surpassed expectations to spend a good portion of the campaign in the top six, they missed out on the final day following a defeat to Plymouth Argyle, while Norwich City and West Brom qualified for the promotion lottery along with Leeds United and Southampton.
But suddenly, with Hull City’s season over sooner than Ilicali would have liked, such a plan has been thrown out of the window and Rosenior has been sacked just three days after the 2023/24 season ended.On the face of it, this appears like a rash call from an owner wanting too much too soon.
