    Why do you seem to want this ? It’s an incredibly negative view , do you have an alternative in mind . I think he’s made mistakes but e appears to have done with absolutely best intentions in mind for the club and the fans and City . I’ve worked for several companies who’ve made serious recruitment mistakes within established criteria , football doesn’t have that , coaches and managers work at one club and not the next same with players , it’s getting the blend right - but it’s still a gamble .

    What I want is my football club to be run by a boring, normal owner and a competent Director of Football instead of the clown show Acun and Kesler have been running that last two years.

    Like I’ve said before I like acun but he needs to employ an experienced ceo or dof. Acun hasn’t got the skills to run it

    I don't believe Acun has the patience for a long term approach to City, he has bailed out of other projects in the past.

    If we don’t find the right attacking formula/players soon, I think we’ll be in a relegation scrap this season. The defence clearly can’t keep a clean sheet and we’re not putting matches to bed when we should after taking the lead first.

    My point was pretty clear so you saying 'What's your point' was reasonably redundant.

    I recall we had the debate last season about when we thought Acun might move Rosenior on, and I thought that he would get until October/November to show a significant improvement in home form and goals scored, so I suppose that's the answer.

    I'm still thoroughly pissed off with the football and results, and wouldn't be upset if he went in the next 7 days, but wondering on a couple of what ifs from this season already.....the penalty shout in the bore draw Vs Millwall, the handball call and ref positioning Vs Sunderland and Simmons missing that absolute sitter on sat.....potentially 7 point swing if they go our way and most of us would be sat here defending his football. Fine lines I guess....the first half on sat, whilst it wasn't that exciting we created 3 clear cut chances and could/should have been home and dry but we just seem to be in a permanent funk at home, it's got to all of us and no doubt the players too, going to take a fair shift to get it back

    If you're clinging to what ifs then we're in trouble. Every team in the league will have 'what ifs' or dropped points they shouldn't have dropped, so it's impossible to look only at ours to justify things. As someone else said earlier, at this level everyone will miss chances, so you have to make enough that those misses don't matter.

    Boring, normal people are not the types to usually end up with enough money to buy a football club.

    I genuinely don't think we're that bad to be in a relegation scrap.We're disjointed and struggling,particularly at home but there will be games when we click and take the 3 points.
    The lack of a quality striker is killing our threat,the opposition know that and push us back deep.If we're going to address just one thing in January,the striker needs to be it.

    And if they are rich
    The boring 'rich' people are not the ones to buy a football club

    No. You just made a random statement that Molby was sacked in less time.

    So I asked what was your point as it gave no insight.

    Ok..

    Not particularly random. It's a Hull City manager sacked after a poor start to the season in 13 games or less. Felt quite the opposite of random.

    Phelan (once permanent) was sacked after 12, Slutsky was sacked after 20, Parkinson after 24, I could go on. Hint: These are all City managers sacked reasonably early in their first season in charge. Should they have all been given a full season because that was too early to tell?

    He's not doing a particularly good job either.
