Hull City's 1-1 draw last night with Blackpool meant that since the early days of 2020, the club's record in the Championship now stands at 10 points won from a possible 87, with 22 defeats in 30 games. Considering that Grant McCann had a very successful season last year, and that he'd forged a decent reputation as a manager in L1 before joining City, it seems that managing in this league is beyond him. Okay, there are mitigating circumstances in play, but the squad that walked away with the L1 trophy last year hasn't suddenly become a poor one overnight, and you wonder if there's some mental hurdles that the manager can't jump over.
With that in mind, can anyone give any other examples of players, managers or clubs having similar issues? Strikers who scored for fun, except against one team in particular, etc?
