    “I have not been at the club that long, but, after two years of living in the city, you do notice there is a separation between supporters and the owners,” he said.

    “I don’t know what has gone on before, but, in an ideal world, those two parties have to come closer together. “It is a good club. I know from the outside it might seem differently, but it is a good club.

    “If it is run well, it can be a pretty successful club. It is a good place to play so, fingers crossed, that can happen.”

    ”The start of the season was definitely one of the reasons (why relegation happened). Our preparations for the start of the season weren’t good enough. That is definitely a reason, but there are numerous.

    “It is really difficult to pinpoint now, but, over the next few days and weeks, I imagine people within the club will know why it has gone wrong and what the club has to do to get back into the Premier League.”

    Very PC way of saying what we all know "Ehab you're a ****".

    I didn't read it like that at all. He went out of his way to stress how well run a club it is.

    How did you get that with a quote like "If it is run well, it can be a pretty successful club"?

    I got it from:
    "It is a good club. I know from the outside it might seem differently, but it is a good club."

    I personally didn't directly correlate that with Ehab's football management abilities. I think he's just saying Hull's a decent place, despite what people think or say. But that's my take on it.

    But he said the word "club", twice. He can't be referring to Hull as a place.

    A hell of stretch to say that quote is Maloney going out of his way to stress we're a well run club, particularly as “If it is run well, it can be a pretty successful club" far more clearly states it's not well run currently.

    That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I think you're clutching at straws, and that's my opinion, I'm saying no more.

    Well it's not opinion, it's FACT that he says club twice.

    He still says it is a good club and I don't see how that can be construed as calling the owners ****s.

    He's trying to appease all sides, it's pretty much a neutral statement. You can read into it whatever you want, if he wants to know what has gone on before he should read the local paper.

    It could mean a multitude of things, it could mean we've got a good tea lady, he likes the kit man, Marco creates a good atmosphere, he fancies the receptionist, it could mean we have the making of a really good team with some of the players we have there, but the one thing it DOES NOT mention, is the leadership of the club.

    For all I know, you could be on the payroll for the club, hence your opinions.

    Some of the people working under the regime are nice people! Which can be classed as a good club? I think any player speaking out of turn we can assume they're going?

    You are all a bit right.

    He is saying it's not broken as a structure. It just needs some love.

    All the ingredients are there, it just needs sorting.

    I get his sentiments. It's positive and critical.
