I get the immediate panic when it's announced with rumours of him wanting to sell. The piece that Baz has put out has settled those nerves. We were all massively critical of the lack of communication from the Allam regime. Provided this isn't a repeat of the car crash Q&A a couple of months ago, it's probably exactly what the fanbase needs.
Whatever Acun says tomorrow, some people are either going to take his words far too literally and twist them into a negative, or they're going to just write any positives off as 'PR spin'.
I could be wrong! But I tend to agree with those earlier that think if he were going to sell up,he'd call a press conference,thereby avoiding the 'wrath' of a room full of angry City fans? I'm not fussed one way or another to be honest.He's just another in the long line of owners of the Club in the 54 years I've held them dear. The name matters more to me than the good,bad and indifferent that have owned it...
The family concept where the father runs off with another woman and occasionally sends £100 out of guilt?
I like Acun, he’s been a good owner so far on the whole - but there’s better people that are less unpredictable who could do this (if Tan was doing it I’d be much more comfortable)
I'll say this now, before the event, so that people can't say ah you're only saying it now. Quite a few need to give their heads a damn good wobble (as the saying goes). Some comments in these past few weeks about our owner have been unwarranted, and some of the speculation has been ridiculous. Yes, progress has been slow and we get frustrated, but come on. We've had some god damn awful owners over the decades. We finally have one who really does seem to care, who understands what it is to be a fan, seems to have our best interests at heart, has done pretty amazing things so far during his ownership. OK, yes, he's made mistakes, non of those mistakes come anywhere near some of the stuff previous owners have done to us, and I'm sure even with his mistakes he's only ever had the clubs best interests at heart (unlike many a past owner of ours). I hope and expect that tomorrow he'll leave quite a few feeling pretty damn stupid and hopefully suitably embarrassed. Yes, he's 'only' an owner, meaning they inevitably come and go, but to date he's up there with the very best we've had. Some fans appear to have such short memories, and as I've said on previous occasions, I do sometimes wonder if some actually deserve Enob back.
I’d say he’s had it pretty fair. Nothing but love for the most part and then called out when he’s dropped the ball.
