For me it is a society thing. People just feel they have the right to abuse anyone in their path because they are 'paying customers'. My wife works on the trains and comes home most days having being abused by a passenger for trying to charge them for travelling, asking them to move out of a reserved seat or stop them vaping. It is so bad now Hull Trains are trialing body cams.
there's a difference between getting abuse for doing your job properly and getting abuse for doing your job badly
 
I'd rather Walter be sacked for Hull City's sake.

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.

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.

I'd have Mowbray as well but he's been seriously ill lately and I'm not sure he's ready to make a comeback just yet? I saw a video of him recently being introduced to the Boro crowd on the pitch and he was very emotional.He looked very drained and a bit gaunt,I'm not sure what he's been through but it's obviously took it out of him...

Decent man manager who expects his players to give their all,as he did on the pitch, and it would be nice to have someone like him standing on the touchline.

Can you say any of our players have put in 100% effort?
Kamara has put some great balls in the box that Pedro hasn't finished off and has made a few chances himself, he's just about our only positive winger at the moment.
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.
 
The owner is the absolute problem here, he has made a complete mess of the transfer window and appointed a guy who was signing players based on what was in it for him....alegedly of course.

It is very difficult for Tim to bond with supporters that are criticising his every move.
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 think once Walter goes, more and more supporters will start to realise the manager is the least of our problems. The owner is a megalomaniacal crook who resembles a modern-day Roman emperor whose attempts to win over the plebs with his gaudy ‘bread and circuses’ routine will get very old very quick and we’ll see his true colours soon enough.

It will end in tears. Walter at least can escape this circus and he will be better off for it. It’s us, the supporters, who will continue to suffer.
You keep alluding to him been a crook? Spill the beans
 
I agree with all of that apart from the numbers.
The 21k includes pass holders whether they go or not. There was a lot more space around us than usual in North Stand, which is all pass holders.
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?

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.
