New gaffer needs to have good contacts

RECRUITMENT HAS TO BE SPOT ON

- By BARRY COOPER

Hull City remain without a new head coach almost two weeks on from the sacking of Ruben Selles as owner Acun Ilicali continues to try and bring in his number one choice.

Ilicali along with his close-knit team of staff have been interviewing various managers both here and abroad, but so far, have not been able to make an appointment.

It's hoped the process will conclude in the coming days, but central to any new manager coming in will be their contacts book and with it, an ability to maximise those contacts in the transfer market.

Ilicali will back the new man this summer with funds to strengthen the squad, especially in the top third of the pitch, given the problems we saw throughout the season.

It's no surprise City finished where they did in the Championship after finishing as the league's lowest scorers.
