    I think there was a glitch with the microphones .. he didn't say 'excellent' at all... it was 'excrement'....!!!

    From Martin Samuel in the DM

    Incredibly, an average of 15,826 people are still interested in going to watch Hull City fight to avoid a second relegation. That's a quarter down on their Premier League gate last season, but only 1,373 behind their average attendance the last time they were in the Championship in 2015-16, winning promotion.

    So, that's the group that will stick by them — the ones who probably felt most strongly when the owners tried to change the club name to Hull Tigers. One hopes the members of the Allam family behind that divisive action now understand the bones of a club: its name, its colours, and the 15,000 loyal souls who turn out, even to watch the fourth-worst team in the Championship.

    Does he have a single supporter left?

    The man is a buffoon and a fraud.

    Martin Samuel was corrected by Amber Nectar as to the true attendance figures.

    It’s reasonable to expect that he makes better use of those tools than his sacked predecessor. At the moment he isn’t doing that.

    I'm starting to wonder if Adkins offered to work for lower wages than Slutsky. It's the only logical reason even Ehab would think of making such a ridiculous change for.

    Tools are useful. Tools serve a purpose. Tools aid productivity.

    He needed us, as Duffen would say we were the prettiest girl in the playground. Ehab knew Adkins wouldn’t get a better offer so he’ll have offered him a **** wage and empty promises. Nige had no choice...

    Just listen to his post match press conference with Burnsey(who asked some serious direct questions) what did i deduct from it, nobody's coming in this window , he dodge every question re transfer etc by saying he was more concerned with the first 35 mins, get the impression he's a bit of a bullshitter.

    I agree but it didn't stop people insulting and slating Slutsky every week. The abuse he got was ridiculous given the tools at his disposal.

    I wouldn't disagree with that. At the same time the tools he was given were cheap and nasty.
