    Dear Supporters,

    I write to you as we find ourselves in unprecedented times. I hope this letter finds you and your families in good health and I would also like to thank you for your support during what is a tough time for all of us.

    After making a promising start to the 2019/20 season, which saw us in the mix for a play-off place, the turn of the year saw a stark turn in our fortunes. Off the pitch, we concluded transfer dealings which were financially very good for the Club but, on the flipside, a disastrous second half to the season led to a relegation fight which, despite the hard work from players and coaching staff, sadly ended in relegation to League One.

    Naturally emotions are running very high at the moment, which is to be expected. After all, sport is all about passion and emotion, and we must use the pain we all feel now as a positive, as we look to address the issues that led to our relegation.

    Across the Club, we have reflected on last season and, with some very hard lessons learned, the focus of everyone is on ensuring we give ourselves the very best chance to bounce back to the Championship at the very first opportunity.

    We understand the discontent at the moment. Last season was far from good enough and our fans and partners deserve better and we are all working hard to put things right. As a whole, we have been very proud of the on-field performances during our stewardship of the Club and it has always been our intention to give our fans performances to be proud of, and we will do so again.

    We firmly believe that Grant McCann is the man best placed to lead our fightback. Undoubtedly, we have struggled since the turn of the year and everyone at the Club shares the blame for that, myself included. Grant is an excellent, hungry young manager and is desperate to right the wrongs of last season and we are giving him our full backing to do that.

    We also believe the squad we have possesses the talent necessary to take the Club back into the Championship. Recruitment over the coming weeks will be crucial in supplementing that and giving Grant the tools he needs for a successful League One campaign. There is a lot of youthful promise in the playing group as it stands and one of our priorities in the transfer market is to add the experience and nous necessary to further develop that potential.

    Talk is cheap at the moment, but we will be using the disappointment we all suffered to spur us on as we look to deliver the actions that are now required – effective recruitment, a strong pre-season and an aggressive start to life in League One.

    We find ourselves in a difficult position and now, more than ever, we need unity. As players, coaching staff, owners and fans it is essential that we stick together. This great Club has suffered some very dark days in the past but managed to fight its way out of them and, by sticking together now, we can all play our part in getting Hull City back where we belong.

    UTT

    Seriously though, how dare they call for us to unite after trying to break us apart for years. **** THEM.

    100 responses to this on Twitter so far, over half are just Allam Out memes, probably not the response they were hoping for.

    Seems to be the hardest word...

    They're not sorry, and to be honest it wouldn't be accepted anyway.

    One off, yes some of the performances were similar. Sport isn't easy, it's got to click everywhere, physically and emotionally to work.

    Think the only person who will stop ehab is his old man. Fingers crossed the old man still has enough marbles and gumption to do that and say son lets get out of this now.

    No point ranting and raving,what good does it do?,it is what it is!!The disappointing part for me is Grant McCann.

    Let's see over the coming weeks whether or not he's(Allam) serious about recruitment and whether he is serious about getting back to the Championship?Maybe a unified club and fan base is viewed as a positive sales pitch?

    I'd rather not be labelled a big Allam fan when the flak starts flying(because I'm not),I want what's best for all of us and don't see the point of ranting on a forum.

    -> during what is a tough time for all of us.
    Yeah, rite.

    -> it has always been our intention to give our fans performances to be proud of, and we will do so again.
    As you say, talk is cheap, and this talk don't match with reality (as with a lot of things your family say)

    -> We firmly believe that Grant McCann is the man best placed to lead our fightback... Grant is an excellent, hungry young manager
    Yet you use the word 'disastrous' about the 2nd half of the season.

    -> we are giving him our full backing to do that.
    Yeah, rite. And again, as you say, talk is cheap. I don't believe you.

    -> Talk is cheap
    Too rite. We've had years of BS from you.

    -> effective recruitment, a strong pre-season and an aggressive start to life in League One.
    That would be a first under you.

    -> We find ourselves in a difficult position and now, more than ever, we need unity. As players, coaching staff, owners and fans it is essential that we stick together.
    How the ****ing hell dare you?
    And you will never be part of our we.

    What do you say to that? There is no way in hell Ehab or anyone else at the club believes McCann is the right man for the job.

    So far out of touch he may as well live on another planet.
    After all that has been going on about the membership scheme a chance to make a statement, no missed that. The fans via the trust with the amber ribbon thing have offered an olive branch of sorts but we will ignore that too.
    Clueless.

    “Talk is cheap” but still worth more than our inept Management & squad.

    Written as a feeble attempt to pacify the doubters.

    An attempt that will fail miserably.


    Lacks coherence, integrity and sense.

    It's contemptible. How arrogant to think that people who care for the club will be taken in by that pile of streaming ****e.




    Just bung it in the dictionary as an example for the definition of 'empty words'.
