Quoted from 123614
But will he be when Hess is fit again?
Unless Hessenthaler has suddenly learnt how to pass the ball forwards, then I can see him going out in the summer.

Strange that an improved Whitehouse is usually first choice in his position when Ollie picks his team??
I wonder if he would have been had we been able to keep Robson.

Whitehouse has been much more effective than Robson in my opinion.

My own thoughts are that Whitehouse has improveddramatically under Ollie. Hess's way of playing may well not suit Ollie's team. He is very slow of thought and cautious playing forward, often resulting in him going backwards. So from being one of our best and most consistent players it wouldn't surprise me if he struggles to regain his place, although not writing him off, he may adapt . Under jolley he looked excellent. Under jolley whitehouse looked poor though. Just shows how things can change quickly depending on management.

There have been legal precedents set in this area of "conflict of interests", a compulsory purchase order of houses surrounding a proposed expansion of Anfield several years ago springs to mind. I have read the full statement, as printed in the GET, and nowhere does it mention that he is "stepping away from day to day involvement in the club because of the conflict of interest". He does however say that "Becoming the Deputy Leader for North East Lincolnshire Council has added complications and time constraints". This is not the same as a "conflict of interest" as regards council decision making. In fact because of his high profile as the major GTFC shareholder then any involvement he had in discussions or decisions involving the new ground would immediately be flagged up by the opposition councilors and challenged.
I suggest you read the man’s own words in the transcript of last night’s meeting published in the Grim Tel. The time constraints thing is an issue that stepping back helps with. But the statement he made about conflicts of interest is a typical Fenty muddled communication. Plus ça change.....

Think we probably expected too much from Whitehouse after his year long injury and he was maybe not mentally and physically fit until the late Autumn, that said and agreed he has been better I feel it’s still a position we can strengthen. IMO Robson in that role would be an asset as he was really starting to show his true worth in those last few games he was with us. As for Hess was he playing to instructions ? He always looks a decent player and who knows what he could produce given the more adventurous approach now being played. Midfield is much better but to get in those promotion places next season it will need to improve further still.

I think you are right about playing to instructions. The whole midfield was so reluctant to get in front of the ball that this must have been a Jolley plan. How many times did we see the ball passed down the line only for it is be passed back and back until possession was lost. Hess was definitely a victim of this policy but he has not had the chance to really show he can be more creative. I’d guess IH will want to see him play a bit before deciding.
