Agreed. If he has around £100m, why would he spaff 20-25% of that on a low down championship club??? There must be a multi, multi, multi billiontrilliongazillionaire hiding in the shadows...
There's been lots of talk of other monetary backing behind the scenes, but never anything concrete. Suspect we'll find out in time. Also, I recall Baz replying to one of the questions on one of his Q&A sessions he does in the daily fail that Acun's personal wealth is a lot higher than the $100m which has been suggested on the internet. Plus, however the deal to purchase the club was structured, l can't imagine he would have just handed over £30m from his own personal fortune, he will have borrowed the majority in some shape or form.
That’s how much he’s worth not how much is in his bank. Everytime he spends a penny it’s not coming out his bank account…. Why do is so much effort is being put into sponsorships etc? Signing national superstars like Allahyar is only going to boost revenue in the long run too because Iranian’s are so loyal to their sporting superstars they’ll follow them everywhere. We’ve already had them at the ground this season.
Acun Ilıcalı's #hullcity started attempts to add #LuisSuarez, who said goodbye to #LuisSuarez #AtleticoMadrid to his staff. Acun Ilıcalı will meet with the Uruguayan striker for dinner this week to complete the transfer Best one yet
Sorry off topic! Walking around London today I’ve seen lots of people wearing Hull KR and Hull FC shirts, anyone know why?
Everton are interested in Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter. The 21 year old is rated at around £30M. KLP's value seems to go up every week he's not playing.
Fingers crossed we get even close to that. Although I think the £30m figure is probably coming from what Acun said recently
I just hope that if he does go that its sooner rather than later. I really don't want this dragging out all summer, it'll zap any optimism there is around the place
Its either the Rovers, and Hull southern supporters clubs annual tug-of-war in Horseguards parade, or the egg chasing Cup Final at White Hart Lane tomorrow.
I also think he will be sold. Re invested that money could go a long way towards the five or six quality players we need. I personally don’t expect this huge investment and promotion push next season. I will be happy to see us keep improving for a couple more seasons and be established as a top ten side.
I'm fascinated to see how Acun plays this as he's already said he wouldn't sell him for £30m, when we clearly would. If he won't sign a new deal, we have to sell him now. He'll never be valued higher and we need as much money as possible to build a top squad
Encouraging a bidding war I imagine. If he gets anything close to £20m I think he takes it. And I think someone will pay that should other targets of theirs fail and they get desperate
