Hard to quantify wages but I can have a stab on transfer fees in 3 seasons we’ve paid out about €51m in transfer fees. For the sake of this I’ve included the notable ones

Season 1

Allayhar - 4.5m
Sinik - 4m
Tufan - 3m
special mention to Ryan Woods who’s unreported fee but we did pay a fee for

season 2

Philogene - 5m
Omur - 2m
Pandur - 2m
Connolly (apparently) 1m
Special mention to the likely notable loan fees of Fabio and Zaroury

Season 3

Balloumi 5m
Kamara 5m
Giles 5m
Hughes 4m
Millar 3m
Palmer unreported
Racioppi 1m

special mention to loan fees of Rushworth, Bedia and Puerta given we supposedly had competition for these.

I should say that these are rumoured fees so could vary. However, it does likely highlight that whilst we haven’t spent large on one player the fees have added up when you include wages as well.
 
Acuns done exactly what the allams did until they didn't.... I'm not saying acun will go down the same route ( it's doubtful ) but nobody knows what's going to happen in the future and acuns money won't and can't last forever without some return for him.
That's true, but he's got a loooong way to go to reach the depths that they did, I can't imagine him ever saying that us fans can die when we want!

Not to open up old wounds, but did he actually say the fans can die when we want or the movement ( or whatever you want to call it ) against him/his family can ( I genuinely can't remember the wording/context )

He's not seen that money, the club has. If acun ever wants to see a real return in his pocket, he needs us in the prem.
The club has? He is the ****ing club, he calls the shots and he makes the decisions. On top of the £60m haven't we had 'record' sponsorship deals and are we not averaging over 20,000 at home with more cash coming in from those 'overseas' who can now stream the games? Are you pleased with the state of the club so far?

Yes he owns the club, but he isn't just taking that £60m and putting it in his pocket is he, or is that what you thinking he's doing?

The "record" sponsorship deals you talk about are a drop in the ocean.

No I'm absolutely not happy with the state of the club ATM, it's a ship without a captin that's got a leak in the outer Hull and a broken rudder.


Now over to you....how do you think Acun has seen a return so far on his money?

Re Rosenior and ffp. Acun explained any ongoing payment ends when they take another job. So no big pay off and no continuing payments since he joined Strasbourg. Hopefully some club is daft enough to to take Walter on soon.

I don't think for one moment that his Brain team work for free, or he lives rent free in a mansion in Ferriby, or the Rolls Royce he is chauffered about in is a freebie either.
Plenty of money has poured into the club yet debt is mounting up at the rate of £400k a week?
We are bottom of the league.
No wins in 13 games.
But fans have short memories.
I for one remember boycotts and protests because some fans didn't like the owners when we were in the PL.
And some said be careful what you wish for.
Is anyone out there happy with the clubs current situation?
Shouldn't questions be asked? Like WTF is going on?

Holy ****...

When you see some of the values printed above you shudder to a halt and start to think Acun has been royally shafted over the bonnet of that big shiny,chauffeur driven Rolls Royce he gets taxi'd around in.

I put 'be careful what you wish for ' in the same category as 'no one will buy us', guff. :emoticon-0138-think

Where's Rutger Hauer when you need him? :emoticon-0138-think

So I'll ask again....how has acun seen a return on his money so far?
 
So you must know how much money he put in in the first place?

So you've got no answer then, fair enough, you started this by claiming he's seen a return, so come on, what return and how.....

Unlike you I don't mind answering, I don't know how much he's put in, but it's obvious to anyone with an ounce of intelligence that he's not seen a return on his investment in us. He may well do in the future and I really hope he does, as for that to happen we have to be successful and in the prem
 
He's done some good and he's made some mistakes. He's certainly a huge part of the reason we're bottom of the league right now, but it's also very reactive, short-term thinking to all pile on him tonight because we lost today. Let's see what Selles does with the team over the coming weeks and where we end up with a bit of coaching. Swansea is a big game.
