With regards to Lichaj & Irvine, they were decent players under Adkins, then **** this season under McCann. Probably suck of his **** tactics & didn’t want the Inevitable embarrassing relegation on their CV!
This been posted?? I mean Kinell how positive is this bit??!!see where we are!! ****ing laughable
will be days when we’re not feeling so good and days when we’re on a good run, but what is key is everyone stays focussed on the number one goal, which is to try and see where we are after the 46 games.

Hull City head coach Grant McCann has spoken at length on the Tigers ’ current plans ahead of next season.
Here is every word he told BBC Radio Humberside on his future, staying at Hull City, transfer plans and more.
There can be a hangover from relegation?
There can be yes, but we have to park what happened last season. We have to look forward and we have to approach the season in the right frame of mind, which we will.
The culture, the dynamics of the group and what we have brought into the building in the likes of Smallwood, Coyle and Emmanuel so far, that will only do that. That will only help. They are all winners who have done really well in their previous clubs and we want to add to that.
On life in League One
You need people who know what it takes in this division because it is a very tough league. It’s relentless and each game is completely different. You can play Sunderland at home one week and next week away to Fleetwood and you have to go about things differently.
I know the league very well which helps for us and the coaching staff, We are all looking forward to it It’s a big challenge, a hard challenge and a long slog with ups and downs.
will be days when we’re not feeling so good and days when we’re on a good run, but what is key is everyone stays focussed on the number one goal, which is to try and see where we are after the 46 games.
On new signings
We are working on quite a few in terms of people coming in the door. The owner, Lee (Darnbrough) and David Beeby back at the training ground are all working very very hard to get these things over the line.
Some take longer than others for obvious reasons, but we are hoping to add to the ground in the next seven to 10 days to be where we want to be. There are players out there we have identified and there are areas we feel we need more strength in depth because we hope we have over 60 games this season.
Jordy de Wijs’ future
There’s been bids for two or three of the players. Each player will have a valuation of what the club expects and until that valuation is met the football club is not looking at moving anyone out of the squad.
There has been a few approaches a few offers for players but until that valuation is met that we feel is right for that player, they won’t be going.

On his own future
We had a really good chat the other day with the staff and players. It is really easy to go under when people are against you and people want you to do this or do that and this isn’t good enough. It is very easy to go under.
It’s the best teams who stand up. It is the best individuals who realise their own mistakes and try and learn from them. Obviously myself at the head of that, that’s how I’ll try and approach this season with a real hunger and a real desire to get this club back to the Championship and hopefully further in years to come.
If I look at my career in the four years I have been a manager now. The first year thrown into the hot seat at Peterborough we finished eighth or ninth, the second season when I lost my job in the March time we were sitting six points off the play offs with a couple of games in hand.
The following season at Doncaster we were on a promotion charge and lose in the play-offs, then one season at Hull where we were relegated. In the four years already as a manger I have so much experience from that, I’ve had so much experience in those four years that some managers may not have in 10 years.
I have to take all the positives from that, which I will. I hope I have a long career and another 20 years in this game. When I saw my wife and kids after the last game at Cardiff I said we will have loads of ups and down over the next 20 years, hopefully more ups than downs, but we have to stay strong. We have to stay united and that’s the message I am putting into the club at this present time.
How much gratitude do you owe the Allam family who could have cut you?
I’m thankful every day. I’m lucky to be in the position I am in. People would give everything to do what I am doing, but what I would say on the back of that is I have worked hard to get to where I am.
I’ve worked very hard to get here. Yes, I am 100 per cent grateful to Ehab and Assem for sticking by me and now I want to repay them. I want to repay the fans. I want to repay this great football club because we all know it wasn’t good enough last year and that’s from everybody involved.
We all take responsibility for that but we can’t cry about it but we have to move on. We have to approach this season head on. We know what it takes to get out of this division.

If this **** had any sense it would be to **** off all the stupid paint trophy competitions and play to get out of this league ... we have 60 games FFS
and on his last sentence "we all know what it takes to get out of this league'... so do the supporters ' you not managing HCAFC'...
**** “taking the positives” try “learning from, & not repeating the negatives”
He’s a dick head.
He’s a dick head.
I'm not a big fan of Ehab these days but lest we forget,without the Allams cash injection we'd have been where we are,possibly further down the Leagues?The last incumbents left the Club in tatters and in huge debt!! Are they more in favour than the Allams??
Maybe so, but I would of took that over what we have now in 'ownership by spite'. If someone said "start in league two this season and they are gone immediately"...i would snap your ****ing hand off.
I rarely post, but I have not been in the Kcom for about 4/5 yrs now because of them.
No you ****ing dont!! You've never done it. In fact youve done **** all as a manager apart from getting us relegated!! Idiot.
Hopefully someone will offer to buy the Allams out soon and we can move forward, but until that happens,I'll travel down(when and where possible).It's difficult to assess what the Club is worth at present,on top of that new owners will be faced with heavy expectation from fans who refuse to attend at present.The Allams haven't run this to our liking,the previous owners didn't either,will the new ones do any better and how much on top of the purchase price do we expect the incoming owners to put into the Club to put it back where it was?
Inspirational
The goal is to see where we are.
Which is a very funny way of saying "expect mid-table at best."
Achievable goal though
I thought I might start drinking less actually, but for some reason setting an aim to ‘see how much I’ve drunk at the end of the week’ doesn’t seem to have actually reduced my drinking...even though I’ve achieved my aim every single week
PS. Just to be clear this is an analogy...I’ve got no intention of drinking less.
There you go Dennis, vegan sausage rolls.
