We are very much looking like a league one side for next season. We are also way off matching the effort and commitment from a decent league one side like Wigan.

Dawson and Hector have been absolutely horrendous this season. But I put that down to the full backs and what’s in front of them.
If you keep turning over 10-15 players a year not telling the best ones if your signing them on a contarct or not, then they subsequently leave you have a massive problem. And that’s what’s happened for 3 years. No player wants to be here, we can’t sign anyone of any note as agents and players know it’s a sh1tstorm and boy wonder won’t spend any money.
Likewise with the manager, we end up with the level that we are. When we where looking prosperous and wanting to go somewhere we got Bruce who at the time was a coup. Don’t underestimate how Bruce controlled the Allams and kept peace, he and and Mr Chapman essentially ran the football club.
Now there’s only two men in charge, and there taking every single last penny out the football club that they are owed, and in a sick way they love to see us suffer.
Protest the hell out of what’s happening, because if we don’t go down this year it will be next or the year after. We are a sitting duck till these lot go.

Problem us when we play these teams recently we find away to lose to them.
And that all comes down to bottle.
Is anyone even bothered if we do go down? Why do we think next season in the Championship would be any better? If anything we’ll have even less hope with Abel gone and potentially Moses. Or can we force an unwanted extension on him?
This is what the players say whilst playing fifa and eating Nandos
Yes, I'm bothered if we go down and so are thousands of other people still. That's what being a football supporter is mainly about isn't it, although I agree that new ownership feels even more important just at the moment. But I still also maintain we are more likely to be bought as a Championship club than as a League One Club.
The trouble is not owning our own ground makes us an unattractive proposition compared to others. More attractive in the PL due to the money flowing in but still less attractive than a similarly sized club in the PL with their own ground.
The future looks bleak.
Only in the sense that the Allams won't accept a League 1 price for a club. There won't be an issue finding someone prepared to buy League 1 club. The issue is the Allams being realistic and accepting what a League 1 club worth.
A league 1 club renting a ground like ours with all its maintenance costs is not good, but we don't have to worry because the Allams can and will pile all the debt onto the SMC and eventually throw it all back to the HCC.
Not very much perhaps; so the seller just has to accept less for it.
My Micra wasn't worth much but I had no problem selling it, because I didn't expect or demand to get the price of a better car for it.
Cheap, run-down houses and buildings get sold all the time. Just not for as much as nice ones go for.
English football league clubs are actually a commodity. Unlike houses and cars there's only 92 to go around. I'm sure there are more than 92 parties in the world who'd like to own one. Which is why we've been sold many times before whilst in the bottom division and it's why clubs change hands all the time, Premier League or not. The idea that there is no one out there that wants to own Hull City is absolutely absurd. For a start, I'm sure Adam Pearson would like to get involved again if it was affordable. And since it'd be a League 1 club with no ground of its own, affordability shouldn't be an issue. The issue is when the club is worth little but the owners want a lot for it. A situation normally described as 'not for sale'.
But being a Hull City fan at present has very little to do with anything happening on the pitch.
That’s what I was asking - can we force one of them extensions that the player doesn’t want? And even then surely he’ll be gone by Jan so we avoid another Abel situation.
We’re not currently a League One club and a club at the bottom of the Championship, in a ground they don’t own, has just been bought by a bloke who wanted to buy us.
hallelujah, for all the ranting on here it comes down to this
