I like this guy's enthusiasm
100% BS. I don't think Acun paid a fortune for us in the first place. I'd guess at some where between £10m to maybe 20m, in instalments. I think the KLP sale was a part of the deal too, and probably the lions share, with Ehab getting a sell on bonus. As for another bonus if we got promotion to the Premier League? Debateable but it wouldn't surprise me if he did, but nowhere near as much as the figures bandied about. Not forgetting it was said Ehab also got a wedge when Jarrod Bowen won his first England cap, that was said to be worth £1m.
Its a matter of opinion which will divide fans for ever more but Ehab had the clubs finances right and the club was solvent with a bit left over in the Bank plus the wage bill was manageable. All those factors made the club attractive enough to attract a buyer.
Acun took the gamble aka risk, and it's paid off for him. My genuine hope is that if we stop in the PL for one, two, or ten seasons, I just hope we have something to show for it at the end.
I've just got back home now.
Just wanted to say... Wow.
What a group of heroes. Really don't know what else to say. The reality still hasn't dawned on me.
Transfer embargo. Relegation certs. Did the double over one of the strongest teams in the division. Kept the rampant league winners goalless twice. Held top 6 for most of the season. Had a sniff of automatics at one point. A manager who's never managed in this country, let alone the Championship. Swathes of injuries. Written off by literally everyone.
And yet, against ALL odds...

So got on the coach after the game after all the celebrations.about an hour , waited another hour for if to leave mostly because so many dimwits couldn’t remember what number coach they were on even what name it was plus wtf they’d been doing so long after the celebrations I don’t know !! Got home 12-45 AM
In the scale of things if you're getting home around 1.00am does an hour earlier or later really matter?
i got in at 1am and immediately put the recording on - you cant get too much of a good thing
It will really hit home when we get the fixture list and we see we are playing Liverpool and Chelsea instead of Lincoln and Charlton
Maybe we should change our name to Wow-Hull City.
1966... City get promoted from League 3 to League 2....England win the world cup.
60 years later
2026....City get promoted to the Premier League............England win the world cup?
Now that would be some double!!
said the same thing to my Grandson on the coach home last night! (Not the Wow Hull City bit)
Agree, saw Ehab yesterday on the concourse enjoying it as much as everyone else even doing a few selfies, he's a fan and time has told now that they sold to a good owner when they could have sold to any old dodgy tw@t plunging us to another 104 years of oblivion.

Yeah good set of fans all the Boro fans I met, didn't see any nob heads pre or post match on either side, there was v much a shared appreciation that Southampton weren't there which helped
Got to get him to sign in with McBurnie 9 now Jim
