So have other teams that we play that get in the refs faces not seen the campaign... sorry MO, but as has been said , I dont want my team to be known ac Nice Hull City AFC...

Christie has criticised it, Liam has praised Connolly's 'angry' nature. I don't disagree with the idea we should ****house more I just disagree with your interpretation that Liam is telling them not to appeal to the ref for stuff.

Liam was appealing and we had staff in the 4th officials ear so he's clearly not telling them to be meek with the officials.

Maybe we need more of that kind of player in the summer? Like a ****house to play alongside Seri which some of us have been advocating all season under all 3 managers.
 
Oscar like a busted flush. Tetteh a complete sicknote. Slater pish. The list goes on. The curse of Richie Appleby.

Rosie got a yellow at the end of the game for talking **** to the ref
 
We paid £2m for Allahyar, it's hardly millions.

what? I'm fairly certain 2 million is still multiple millions, therefore we did indeed spend millions on him... and I doubt at this point we could recoup those multiple millions if we sold him, given the aforementioned 50% sell on clause

The way you posted it you made out we spent a fortune on him, we didn't. We bought a raw young kid with a lot of potential to develop. If he was the finished product, we wouldn't have got him.

You're aware we only pay a sell-on fee on any profit right?

Not just exclusive to Allayhar but the amount we spent as a team with no parachute payments for the return given has been subpar at the least

I'd argue the same applies to Malcom, but there's been pages of discussion about loanees previously so I don't want to re-open that can of worms.

Our spend really wasn't excessive considering we had the lowest wage bill in the league and sold our top goalscorer.

I'm not saying the recruitment was right but to challenge the top 6 always was a massive ask this season. People's expectations in the last few months have got wildly inflated

There's a massive difference between a 6 month loan and signing someone on a 4 year contract
