Confimred - Selles to Hull

[Brogue]

Hull 1-1 Watford, Hull took the lead in the 82nd minute but Watford managed an 88th minute equaliser.

Selles’ next game is a trip to see Fwank on Saturday.

Who?

Fat Frank Lampard

No. Who is Selles

I wish him well, but I certainly don't care enough to want weekly updates

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Selles comments last night: "everything around the club indicated it was time to go"

That doesn’t sound good does it

That means we're either about to move into the next stage of pain or the takeover is nearing and he knew he'd be replaced by the new owners.

We all know which one is more likely don't we?

[El Diablo]

Selles was always going to cash in on his position at Reading , regardless of the state of the club. That's what happens in Football ( and indeed many other career paths if you have ambition)

Club (Business) in higher league offering more money. Its a no brainer.

[From Despair To Where?]

I took it that he meant the team was in a good place and we had someone who could step in with minimal disruption.

That's probably a generous interpretation, and not the main part, but also likely to have been part of the decision.

I suspect he'd have been more inclinned to go knowing that compensation for him leaving would help reduce the need for player sales.

Just noticed something. And I don’t think it’s be mentioned anywhere. Remeber Jared Dublin? Head of scouting, lasted a year and fcuked off to stoke… he was appointed sporting director at Hull in October. Which probably explains why hull came in for selles and why Selles chose Hull. Apologies if it had been mentioned. But thought it was worth sharing.

Just seen a clip of Ruben Selles and Abu Kamara publicly addressing the winger’s social media post following the New Year’s Day loss to Middlesbrough which drew criticism from Tigers fans.

He'd posted a smiley emoji to one of his friend's at Portsmouth who'd just scored his first Championship goal for Portsmouth

Typical Selles doing things in public and shaming players like he did here when he first arrived - might work, might not...

Didn’t notice that. Good spot

Would have been funny if it was!

Guessing it was Ryley Towler who scored for Portsmouth against Swansea? Portsmouth are 21st and Hull 22nd so liking a goal for a relegation rival probably not that smart

Ahh, that is a bit daft. I'd have just ignored it personally, and let it all blow over, but Selles does like to get people to face fans wrath.

Apparently posted on IG very soon after the Hull game ended. Didn't help that many Hull fans were not happy with his role in their last minute loss either!

However, he didn't get the full Hutch treatment, so it looks like the public humiliation and apology will pretty much be the end of it and that he still has a role to play for RS.

I think he wants to lay down the terms of playing under him early - he wants the right characters in the squad.

I think this case is more a bit of the player not thinking things through before posting rather than anything too bad.

He was criticised heavily by the pundit on Sky on the live commentary for not tracking back properly on a Boro break which lead to the winning goal 90+4 mins.....so probably would have made sense to keep off social media for a while

Scored twice today against Leeds.

There's usually been a method to Selles' madness.

Great thread this.
How are Nigel Adkins and Ian Branfoot doing?
