I wonder if Ehab still has a stake? Do we know whether Acun paid all at once, or is it over several seasons? Ehab as saviour? Aargh!
Quite possibly. He still attends games. Scoff all you want but I don't see many more people out there who might be interested in taking them on if Acun does throw the towel in.

Nah, apparently it doesn't work like that! You dont perform to put yourself in the shop window or whatever, you down tools. At least that's what some on here say ours have done since March. Funny how the cliches are turned around to suit the narrative. It's. bollox. The squad doesn't have sufficient goals in it (as pointed out in "gobsmacked" post months ago), compounded more recently by Selles's bizarre game plans/ decision making.

Rare that we're on the same side of a discussion but completely agree. Not sure why people think players don't try hard in the final game of the season to earn themselves a move. "It doesn't work like that" apparently. Er.. do players not think they'd have more interested clubs if they play well? Even if they've been told they need to find a new club that should galvanise them to play better to get out!
 
Everytime a player passes the ball backwards they should be fined 1% of their wages for next season.

I’d love to know how many times we pass the back backwards in % too normal seasons.

I suspect Ehab would consider it quite a coup, given how he considers himself a shrewd businessman; sell for millions, buy back for a quid.

I suspect Ehab has more money then any of us posting on here, and I don't think there is anyone on here who would risk their own money in buying the club? Many of them will not even part with the price of a match ticket. So how 'shrewd' is he? I'd also punt that if anyone 'buys the club for a quid' you can bet they'd be a mountainous debt attached to it too.

I mean, that's pretty ****ing stupid. I understand the sentiment, but even top of the league teams will pass backwards a lot.

What we need is more urgency. Direct, quick passes that switch the play and stretch the other team and get them out of position. But direct doesn't mean route 1 hoofball to nobody. It means switching play without giving everyone in the centre of the pitch a touch on the way past. It means Coyle to Puerta to Amrabat, rather than Coyle to Hughes to Pandur to Alzate to Egan to Macca to Amrabat
 
A different tone and message in Selles's rhetoric on RH this morning.
Pity he didn't wake up to where we're at and what's needed a bit earlier eh.
 
As someone earlier put it… Put outs team that won’t be pushed around against Pompey.
Ie the best ****housery eleven have in the building. Do not leave the pitch without yellow cards and bruises. We certainly ain’t got the players to win this match any other way.
Pandur
Coyle Jones Hughes Macca
Drameh Crooks Puerta Amrabat
Geldhart Pedro

That would be quite ****housery.

I wish I'd been shrewd enough to get myself a rich dad.
 
just been looking to see when this year's cup final is played.

saturday may 17th at 17:30. crystal palace v man city

but just noticed that the leading scorer in this season's fa cup, by 2 clear goals, with 6, is an exeter city player called



drum roll



josh magennis

he's scored 13 this season in all.

if only we had a player who'd scored 13 goals this season.

Half of those FA Cup goals were a hattrick against non-league opposition.
 
Never, at any point, did Jarrod Bowen not give 100% for Hull City AFC. FACT.
I’ve said it several times. , I don’t watch formations I watch players and how they play , what they commit to what they don’t and their physical make up . He gave 100% effort that doesn’t mean he didn’t avoid some tackles near the transfer window. You’re usually accurate in your technical research , but this is close subjective observation LOL

Fact in capitals trumps close subjective observation.
