he knows what's about to happen and can start be a little looser with his public comments and thoughts. I think a lot will come into the public domain if/when he goes. I know there's a fair few things that have gone on that haven't made the public realm

Nothing to be gained now from attacking him I have made my feelings known.
Time to get back to the real problem at the club.
Allams just **** off.
 
Same old story, dreading WBA away mid week. Been in the middle of a take over (hopefully )then I can’t see the Allams paying him off, let the new potential owners do that. It’s a massive job for who ever, the only hope I have is that we have a manager change and he can organise and build confidence because we certainly need to add some quality. In the meantime we need to pick up the odd point but where are they coming from. A few new signings not involved again today is that poor judgement, poor recruitment? Forget WBA, Barnsley massive next week. Overall same old story and another miserable weekend.
 
I've been watching Hull City now 'on and off" for over 70 years ("off" because I've lived in America for much of that period) but today I did get to see the game live and in person.

I can honestly say that this was the most abject, clueless, disjointed, pathetic performance by a Tigers "team" (HAH!!!) that I have ever witnessed. A very ordinary Coventry team gave our players a lesson in how to run into space, move the ball quickly, and win every 50/50 ball.

We were so predictable and unimaginative in our passing that Coventry could easily intercept most of our moves out of defense, usually after three or for passes between the GK and full backs, a pass down either wings, culminating if successful in an easily intercepted cross into the box, and then a fast break by the opposition into our penalty area. By HT we could have been 3-4 goals down.

I'm at a loss what McNutt and his minions train the players to practice during the week. Whatever it is it is blatantly devoid of any creativity and off the ball movement. Another few games against the likes of WBA etc and we will be well adrift in the relegation zone and headed back to League One. Our only hope is that New Owners take over quickly, and that this Failed Coach is replaced by one with a real football brain.
 
The Allams are either “fiddling while Rome burns” or are pretty confident that they are selling the club.

And after the year we got relegated I’m genuinely not sure which.

Tbh I don't think any of us expected to be near the top with this squad of players but McCann is hamstringing them by playing the bloody 433, it's killing their confidence, and yet again we improved when it changed to 352, not by much but at least we were in the game. We don't have a lot of quality at this level, so we need to stay in games, the more we do that the more confidence comes back and as a result we slowly build.
Many on here did expect us to be challenging and that McCant should be the next England Manager (slight exaggeration).

That won't come out, its the same with all our managers, the pay offs have a clause that precludes divulging what goes on.... or am I wrong...?

Genuinely hope the rest of your visit is a good one

He hinted at this in his interview tonight but then rowed back when pressed. I think I can probably guess where much of the real fault for our current debacle lies, and it isn’t a slightly prickly Irishman.
