    He takes credit for about the easiest thing possible post-Allams which is improving attendance. Almost everything else he’s done has been destructive. He’s not a good owner/chairman and doesn’t deserve anymore patience or good will.

    I was sat in the away directors seats at Portsmouth about 5ft from him and I get no feeling that Acun is going anywhere. I obviously can't post stuff on here to quantify but spoke to non playing players and Acun and his gang in the bar and for me this is all made up nonsense. Very happy camp.

    There are rumours of American and Saudi consortiums. Apparently, their interest was dependent on us staying up so there’s that.

    Acun is small fry as far as football club owners go. I don’t think he realised just how much it costs to run a Championship club, especially if the club signs dross on high wages like we have. He’s bit off more than he can chew.

    I doubt very much we are haggling over £250k for a Moroccan midfielder and accepting a 40% sell on clause if Saudis were interested in buying us I just can’t see it myself.

    Did I say ‘I know’?

    I said ‘I think’. You should try it sometime.

    Rumours…Well that is definitive. You wouldn’t want Saudi involvement. Or is it only someone who is close to Turkish authoritarians that you have problems? Close to rulers who murder and dismember people in their embassy would be OK?

    2 of the 3 lines I quoted from your post were stated as FACTS, not as 'I think(s)'.
    Only 1 of the 3 was given as 'I think'.
    And I'm the one who needs to try thinking? :emoticon-0112-wonde
    Maybe try answering the question?

    You said there were rumours. Then went on to say dependent on us staying up. Unsubstantiated dross.

    The last 'Saudi Prince interested in City' rumour was a complete piss take put out by Ehab to see who was spreading rumours, and it worked a treat. The HDM repeated it parrot fashion without any facts at all to back the rumour up and everyone else swallowed it like a ten bob whore.
    Said it before, be careful what you wish for.

    He's had one disappointing on-pitch season as owner and made a couple of managerial mistakes.. it's way too early to be wanting him out.

    I’ve given him more courtesy than he’s given head coaches. He’s clueless and an abysmal owner.

    One? We’ve finished in the top half once during Acun’s tenure.

    Yes. Someone mentions something ludicrous and gullible types lap it up and repeat them as though there were some foundation. What evidence was there that American and Saudi consortiums were interested?
