    Not sure it’s a good motivator to announce you’re getting 8 replacements for mostly first team players with no contract guaranteed yet . What do you think , I am sure some will know where they stand but if they are still playing could it be f**k you ! We had that two years ago!

    Either way they need to show that if they are not in Shota plans then they have to perform to show others that they are worth a contract. So it shouldn't change their attitude.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but hopefully Ash will be brought into the club in some capacity.

    has barmby got a role yet ?

    did anyone else get the feeling we may play 2 up front next season, acun spoke about an experienced striker and klp

    Someone asked the question about Ash being involved in some way, and Acun said he would look into it.

    I don't think Nick has a role as such, just good he is back watching games.

    Shota's preferred system in 433, so I guess the answer to 2 upfront probably is no.

    If I lived in Hull and wasn’t now stuck with other commitments on Saturday afternoons I would deffo have a membership for daughter and I at current prices. I don’t think they’re too far out although dropping the adult to like £27.50 or £28.50 just makes it feel a whole lot cheaper and would probably be more persuasive to those on lower incomes.

    Match ticket prices are unattainable. £27 for Cardiff game. It’s like a once in a month thing. I think they need levelling out particularly in this division. A category A game is only a Cat A game if you’re at the top of the league and the team your playing is too.

    Just seemed a little like looking down at most football fans to assume we are incapable of going somewhere without embarrassing our city.
    Maybe bad choice of words and I maybe misunderstood your point?

    I find it funny in a way how he's so forthright about our strikers being **** in particular. He's said loads of times we need a new one, we don't have good ones etc, and the other night he said about KLP "he's good now but he could be even better when he plays with a good striker". Bit less diplomatic than most clubs officials there.

    Fair enough.

    Apart from the 'looking down' part, that was pretty much my point. Hopefully, I'll be totally wrong.

    I always get an aisle seat.
    Hope there’s going to be no riff raff on our plane den.
    I assume askew is your plus 1?
    I’m taking Ben, he likes a window seat
    So I’m hoping we’ll get a skinny ****er for the middle seat

    Hopefully
    Could get messy, which all inclusive with a big bunch of friends wouldn’t, but I hope the media don’t overplay anything that does happen as yet another way to make City fans look bad.

    He was a bit more tactful than that though. There was no suggestion at all that there'd be a big clear out. In fact he at times sounded almost worryingly too loyal / sympathetic (not right word) to current players. No doubt a few will go, but maybe the main aim with the quoted 8 is to add desperately needed quality, experience, options, depth to the current squad. As someone else posted, I think some underestimate how far off our current squad is from being a force at this level
