    there's a difference between getting abuse for doing your job properly and getting abuse for doing your job badly

    Lmao if you think sacking Walter is going to be a simple fix to Hull City’s problems. The club is being run into the ground.

    I don’t say this lightly but we were genuinely better off under the Allams than this joker.

    There is no place for abuse anywhere. Zero. If you think otherwise then I am disappointed in you.

    I've expressed my reservations since the start about Acun and been called negative by plenty, but he's too naive and irrational to run a football club. If he'd put someone sensible in charge and just been the face of the club things would have gone much better.

    When Rosenior was here things were smoother because I'm of the belief that Acun trusted Rosenior to identify players (like Philogene) and Acun then went and got them.

    But probably the easiest to fix by someone they want to play for

    The thing for Kamara with me is. At pompey you saw a player willing to take on a man and use his ability. Here he’s so unbelievably frightened to do so and resorts to retaining possession.

    That’s 100% coaching

    Please refer to my comment post Luton re: Pedro and his donkey, and the donkey having a better end product. And when Bedia comes on, runs around for ten seconds, then disappears you know things aren't going to get better. Don't get me wrong losing Millar and Bello are massive blows, but we still put in some decent crosses, but with the usual two giants to beat, the odds of Pedro or Bedia getting a strike on goal aren't good. Then it needs four chances to convert one. Not going to happen.

    Just a thought. Did Acun buying a German television channel influence his decision to employ a German football manager and German coaches for the football club he owns?
    If it did it has backfired massively.

    I noticed that and I was surprised when 21,000+ was announced. But its still 21,000 ( minus 2,500 away fans) who have bought into this if they are there or not. How many of those absent members will be considering cancelling if this continues?

    The truth of the matter is not one person on here has any idea why Tan Kesler left this Club.There's more to this than meets the eye and if Acun was being ripped off I'm sure we'd have had one or two subtle hints at this point...Our owner struggles to hold his water at the best of times!I

    I might have been a little delirious by the end of last night, or I might have just dreamt this, but did we really finish last night's game with our best central defender hooked, a right back trying to defend across the whole backline, 3 strikers on the pitch, none of whom are capable of scoring in a brothel and conceding a goal which was actually three Wednesday players just playing a training ground game of footy tennis.

    I dreamt all that right?

    I'm very sure why he left, my friend is an agent and told me what he was like months before any of this. I know of another CEO who would sign unknown ex academy lads or league 2 players for the huge club he worked at selling them to the owner as big prospects and then he and the agent would share the agents fee. Poor kid spends a year or 2 in the reserves of a club he isn't cut out to be at, the manager knows what's happened bur can't speak out and the owner, in this case, was in America signing cheques.

    Does this scenario sound familiar? Whatever happened to some of those lads we signed as future stars? Vaughan Covil anyone?

    From what I hear, he’s in big bother in Turkey regarding this whole gambling thing and dodgy financial deals.

    Covil looked good until his ACL. Only one this really fits the bill for is the LB from Brighton who I thought was a Rosenior signing.

    Signed on a free and released at the end of his first year, Tan didn't buy many houses with the funds from a player who never generated a fee.

    Yuriel Celi? I've no idea what we paid for him if anything but a very weird signing.

    As you say not many who'd fit that scenario.
