And likewise,anyone who has been vocal about him wants the Club to go bust... Never a happy medium on here.
If Gelhardt and a.n.other are indeed inbound too, we will certainly need to lose a player or two from the current squad
I like Acun but am delighted that the EFL put the restrictions in place as it sounds (reading Howdens post) - that it actually has had an impact and changed the way things were being done. I don’t think anyone should be under any other impression that Acun was leading us to financial disaster. Hopefully this wake-up call allows him to let Dublin/Hodge and others do their jobs - which they seem well capable of. We have somehow started to assemble a decent Championship squad with a strong spine. I hope Acun retains his passion for us as we still need him to tip the Acun Medya money into the black hole each month. Perhaps if the finances are much better managed the hole he is tipping it into shrinks somewhat.
We are still ****ed. The finances are still a mess, we still have massive obligations, we’ve still been missing payments left, right and centre. Signing McBurnie and Lundstram is only costing us more. It’s a big worry that we will be able to meet all our commitments a year, 2, 3 down the line.
Much will depend on how much of our wage bill can be covered by revenue? Hopefully we've got rid of some of the bigger earners who provided very little on the pitch and we've replaced them with decent players on a lower overall wage bill? Time will tell but if the wage bill is excessive,he'll have no option but to keep 'filling the hole'.
Hull City remain hopeful of being able to sign Reda Laalaoui from FC Rabot after hitting a stumbling block owing to their EFL transfer fee restriction ban. The Tigers had agreed a deal worth in the region of £400,000 to sign the talented midfielder permanently back in June, but his move was thrown into doubt when City were slapped with a three-window block by the Football League at the beginning of July. City had their appeal heard by an independent panel on Wednesday and if their sanction is lifted then the move will be able to go through as planned - they expect to hear the outcome within 48 hours. If not, the Tigers plan to loan the 20-year-old in the short term before making his move permanent at the end of any potential transfer ban, though that agreement could not be made in writing owing to the terms of their restrictions. Laalaoui took part in a recent media day at the MKM Stadium and remains at the club as he waits to find out what happens next with the club's appeal, but has not trained having been struck down by injury. While there is some clarity about Laalaoui's City future, doubts continue to remain about Gustavo Puerta's move from Bayer Leverkusen. Puerta's appearance at Swansea City on Good Friday triggered an obligation to buy him for £3m, but as it stands, that deal has not gone through under the terms of the transfer ban. City hope that can be approved by the EFL, though that is another deal dependant on the outcome of their appeal hearing.
