What antics?

Well, if you watch the videos back, at the start of the trip, everything looks great. By the end of it, they show the training and very few if any are actually smiling. Remember hearing about Tetteh throwing up on the sidelines?
 
Exactly. If I wanted success and a football manager style "team to build up in Europe", I'd buy a club in a smaller league and make them dominate domestically. Like TNS, or Linfield, or KI Klaksvik. Then you just bank the money from playing in the qualifying rounds until you build a strong enough team to reach a group stage competition.

Even in the Europa Conference League, you get just under €3m for reaching the group stage, and then €500,000 per win and €160,000 for a draw.

The Champions League sees you get €5m for reaching the playoff round, €15m for reaching the group stage alone, and then €2.8m for every win. €900,000 for every draw.

Where do you think Acun, as a businessman, will see his money back quicker? Tens of millions spent on Hull City, or a few million on Shelbourne?
Maybe Murat Ulker dipping his toe into ownership might not be this side of the Irish Sea...
 
rosies a mega nice guy

but hes clearly out of his depth, management is hard, he's massively inexperienced

Think Rosenior said it was Traoré who was throwing up during training. Are you saying it’s the so-called ‘hardest pre-season of their careers’ that’s caused a bit of resentment by the players?

Its about what he has to spend to get there!!!... it aint happening anytime soon...

Oh, there's money there, can't spend it until we create the headroom though, via raising turnover or developing players and selling them on.

Ulker is sniffing around for a reason, you know?

If we get up then the current ownership has the most potential resource behind them to keep us there than any of our previous owners.

But in this league he can only put 13m a year in over and above our income regardless of his or his mates bank balances.

what cause he isn’t Antonio Conte and has zero credentials to back up the methods he uses? Checks out to me.
 
Alright, so the three most reputable ITK people on here are all hinting some discord or resentment by the players towards Rosenior. If that’s the case then he needs to go imo. Once you’ve lost the dressing room, that’s it. Bigger and better managers than Rosenior have been sacked due to losing the dressing room. Look at how Mourinho was ****ed off out of Man Utd because a lot of big players turned on him. His days are numbered, sad to say.
 
Acun wants the Premier league. Getting to the qualifying rounds of europe gets you nowt in comparison.

Yes, he does. But he also wants to make money, and he isn't going to do that with the financial restrictions we have here. Shelbourne don't have that. They're halfway through their season, they can easily make up the six point gap.
 
I just saw the highlights
first Doncaster goal was played out by Ingram and then a cock up in the centre of the goal
why play it to the centre of the goal for them to try to swing at it to pass to the wing?
goalkeeper directly to player on the wing is safer

Sorry yeah, crossed conversations, it was Traore. I don't think he's a happy bunny either.
