From what I read WBA contain you then later on being on effective subs - coii you I’d be a four game for at least 60 then either way . I think they will rely on us tiring last 20 or so , a good few teams g do o it - us too , or we did
Was just thinking “ been there, too pissed to make sense “ lol, my mrs sends me texts I have absolutely no ****ing idea of what she’s going on about, alien speak….
Oh ****, have they got us going down that road now, Liam R0senior's Hull City, we know what happens to team referred to as that.
So hard to predict after 3 very good away victories yet such a terrible home performance against Swansea. Would love us to put a performance which would give the home crowd a massive boost but it’s going to be a very difficult game against another good side. The crowd will play a massive part but we need the team to create, shoot, hopefully score and get us them three very valuable points. I am sure the crowd will be behind them if they produce the goods, it’s normally when nothing is happening that the atmosphere is dampened.
Nice piece in the Guardian. There’s a buzz’: how Hull got their brio back to push for Premier League Liam Rosenior’s ‘expressive and brave’ playing style and hungry signings have club on the up under ownership of Acun Ilicali Liam Rosenior knows how to make the most of what he’s got. At Hull City’s training ground in the sleepy, leafy village of Cottingham, the 39-year-old is mulling over what makes his team one of the most feared in the Championship. The complex is small and functional, so much so that, before we sit down, we have to find an available space. The impromptu tour takes us into an old dressing room, where we find Fábio Carvalho, Hull’s star January loan signing from Liverpool, cleaning his boots in a sink. This, Rosenior says, embodies everything. Hull may not have the financial muscle to compete, even with some clubs in their own league, but they sit sixth thanks their work ethic and desire. Both were on show this week in a stoppage-time win over Huddersfield and a first victory at Southampton in more than 70 years. Hull, who were playing in League One three seasons ago and have since finished 19th and 15th in the Championship, will climb a further spot if they win at home to fifth-placed West Brom on Saturday lunchtime. “People talk about how we got Fábio to the club, but you see it there,” Rosenior says, smiling. “Players come here with humility, for the right reasons; they love football and are prepared to work hard. I’ve shown them clips of the training grounds we are up against: Leicester have a golf course on theirs, a sauna and a Jacuzzi, the same with Southampton and Leeds. “This is our strength. I was upset when we signed the people we did that people said to not show them the training ground. I went the other way and said: ‘Come and see. If you want to be a part of it, you will. If you don’t, you’re not right for this club.’ Young players want to come here because of the buzz about the club and how we work.” please log in to view this image View image in fullscreen Hull’s manager, Liam Rosenior, enjoys Tuesday’s win at Southampton.

Liam Delap joined on loan from Manchester City last summer, Jaden Philogene, who has 14 goal contributions in 19 Championship games, signed from Aston Villa. The Ivory Coast midfielder Jean Michaël Seri, who won the Africa Cup of Nations this month, made a surprise move in July 2022, four months before Rosenior’s appointment. “There were teams in Saudi Arabia who wanted me, lots of money on the table, but it isn’t about money,” the Seri says. “It is about sharing ambition and love. I believe in the project.” Rosenior’s commitment to a philosophy which is, in his words, “possession-based, expressive, vulnerable and brave”, has helped build trust with players and parent clubs. “I had meetings with those clubs early in my time here about what we wanted to achieve. When they watch us play, they know what we are. How those clubs want to develop their players has to mirror our style, so they are learning the same principles they would there. I’ll never change. If we get promoted and play Liverpool away on the first day, I will play out from the back.” Hull are a different club from the one relegated from the Premier League in 2017. In January 2022, the Turkish businessman Acun Ilicali took over from father and son Assem and Ehab Allam, ending an 11-year reign that caused outrage and apathy among the fanbase. Two spells in the top flight, an FA Cup final and European qualification meant Hull were largely a success on the pitch during that time. But the Allams’ attempt to change the club’s name to Hull Tigers caused division and attendances fell below 10,000 at times. Five managers were appointed in the owners’ final five and a half years. skip past newsletter promotionPrivacy Policy.

You could sense the change it atmosphere immediately under Acun. Now we are on a journey.” “I couldn’t ask for a better owner as a young manager,” Rosenior says. “He gives me so much confidence to be myself. For a club to be successful you need to be together. That includes the fans, owner, players, kit men, chefs. We’ve got that.” please log in to view this image View image in fullscreen Jaden Philogene, a summer signing from Aston Villa, has 14 goal contributions in 19 Championship games. Photograph: Adam Davy/PA Seri believes Ilicali is the driving force behind the club’s resurgence as they hunt a Premier League return. “This team is going to be successful because of the owner; we can see every game there is 24,000 fans. Before, it wasn’t like that. They believe in us. It is going to be the best gift for the city if we get promoted.” Hull are dreaming again; Rosenior is embracing honesty and the humble surroundings. They aren’t the biggest or richest club, but spirit and style will take them a long way. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...er-league-liam-rosenior-signings-acun-ilicali
And it was also proved that the 11,000 was 20% overstated generally compared to the real figures which showed up later in the accounts.
Yes we all won the lottery when Acun bought the club. Best ever owner in my lifetime, even more so than Harold Needler-more involved less remote.
Carlos Corberan impressed by City's transfer work and says Ryan Allsop is so good with the ball, he could play in midfield. At least one ex-goalkeeper rates him.
