So 3.7% of fans on here think Selles should be sacked. Even if Acun thinks there’s somebody better out there, he has to stop. He will never have stability and a fan base on board if he thinks he can just move on to the next shiny thing at the end of each season. Fans want loyalty and stability when deserved. Selles deserves it. Deserves his chance, his shot to make something good of the **** show he was served with. Do the right thing Acun!
'Ear 'Ear. He could self destruct. Then again, he could turn out to be a successful and very colourful manager/coach...
Reports from Turkey from a good source - Yağız Sabuncuoğlu - that Acun tried to get Arda Turan to be the new City manager but failed! https://x.com/DeportesReports/status/1921544159749374046 He is usually a good source of info, but this looks a bit batshit crazy to me. Maybe Sellés has received an offer from another club, and Acun is trying to get a replacement in before he sanctions the move. Who knows...
For those without Twitter/ X, I have acopied the text and translation below Yağız Sabuncuoğlu: "Fenerbahçe’nin ve Acun Ilıcalı’nın Arda Turan’la herhangi bir görüşmesi olmadı. Acun Ilıcalı, Arda Turan’ı Hull City’ye istemişti ama bu gerçekleşmedi." Yağız Sabuncuoğlu: "Fenerbahçe and Acun Ilıcalı did not have any talks with Arda Turan. Acun Ilıcalı wanted Arda Turan to Hull City but this did not happen."
I probably would’ve been okay with that, he’d scare the **** out of the players at a minimum. Decent record but only in his second year of management, got his team promoted though.
He could be referring to when he was looking for someone before he got Selles, there's no time on there.
Acun Medya used to be an independent news outlet but has since become an exclusively entertainment-focused media company. It also survived the journalist purges by Erdoğan’s regime. It’s just cronyism.
Ruben Selles attending the Wycombe v Charlton play-off game tonight - shown on Sky. Maybe watching Simons - still the boss hopefully?
If Acun really is making moves on other managers such as Turan, it would partly explain how this situation of the manager's position being up in the air has gone on for a week. It's hard to believe they need this long just to discuss the pros and cons of him.
That reads as if they were considering him for Fenerbahce after Acun had previously tried to get him for City, meaning perhaps when we were looking for a Walter replacement, or even a Shota replacement. I seem to remember his name coming up before.
