Feel bad for Mike but anyone else think these are exciting times?

Allams OUT

A different version perhaps ... <whistle>

Well, you started off with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please

Chazz is trying to make some sense of it all,
But he can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause he doesn't think he can take anymore

Allams to the left of me, Happy to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Silva in.

Completely unexcited. Only the Allams getting out my club will excite me.
I don't give a **** where the manager is from or how pretty his football is, it's all superficial nonsense.
We had a very good manager who was forced out at the during the transfer window. We then became the last club in the country out of 92 to sign someone, and we signed 6 players in 36 messy hours, as our owners tied the hands of our new 'Head Coach'.
Casebook study of how not to run a successful football club.

It's wrong decision after wrong decision after wrong decision with the current Vice Chairman. Why would anyone think he's got this one right? He systematically ****s it up and falls it out with all his managers, usually about money/transfers. I look forward to his reaction when Leonard Silva speaks to the Press about his transfer budget.
Pennock has gone too today. Is there anyway left at the club to manage the transition from the former staff to the new Portuguese ones? Probably not, they've all left.
People are queueing up to work for a PL club, except at ours where they're rushing to get out and work on a lower league.
Good luck to Silva and his team, its a tall order but if he can get them playing for him and get some luck, we might do it.
But if we get rid at the end of his 6 months contract , who the **** will be left at Hull City to run it?
Absentee toxic owners and min wage office staff, no one else.

During last season there were a couple of favourite topics, such as being promoted under SB and then getting relegated under SB; anòther was the owners doing their best to ruin the club whilst trying to sell it.

Why don't we park those for now?

It certainly is real that some sort of sale process is in place; AP just about verified that and all indications point to it.

MP was never a permanent fixture; he was given a chance and he biffed it. That's football, move on.

His replacement is the most professional piece of work this club has conducted since SB came in. Silva has a good, even very good pedigree, he is bringing in an established support team which is something we lacked of late. Why not chill and give him a chance, he deserves that much.

He has a very difficult job on his hands, good luck to him.

Everything crossed obviously it comes good but.....
Being an old bastard I remember Mike Smith's interview with Peter Ward on Mudbank after Ken Houghton got downsized,
Smithy was a superb communicator, did really well as Wales manager, came with Lea and Brown as his team, all with impressive cvs, promotion ahoy etc....but zero experience as a league manager in the third tier.
The rest as they say is history.

We played some really good football under Phelan but, the lack of quality, and numbers, was always going to catch up on us - if they don't let this guy have some money he'd better have brought a magic wand with him cos' no matter how he shuffles names about we still won't have any full backs and we still won't have any ****er capable of scoring a 'double digit' number of goals. Hull City history says it'll end in waterworks ........ fingers crossed for a good outcome.

I can't see how Silva can improve the shortcomings of our attackers ( our main weakness).
I remain sceptical about the war chest at his disposal.
I remain sceptical about getting the type of players we need to come here, given our league position, our toxic name etc
If this appointment had been made in June or July, we might have seen a completely different scenario.
Ehab seems chuffed with himself. 6 months too late mate.

It's difficult to argue with any of your points; at least Rehab has stayed honest to the family principle of ''no-one tells them how to run their business'' though - more's the pity, the nugget him!

Ehaw has fallen out with all our managers since Nigel Pearson, usually over money. Doesn't augur well for new chap does it?
 
This job won't have done Phelan any harm because of the situation he was in under the Allams.
 
How many games' grace does Leonard have before the Recaro Boys are on his case?

It's a whole set of new, professional eyes scrutinising our club and I welcome that.

There is another factor I haven't seen discussed: he is of an age with EA, he seems to be linked through mutual friends, so maybe, just maybe, he might be listened to by EA like his old man once listened to Bruce. That might make the parting more palatable.

Ehab's linked to Silva through mutual friends?

I don't think so.

Not only don't I think they have any mutual friends, I don't think Ehab has any friends at all (even his wife hates him).

Maybe; friends was a term of phrase, but there is definitely a link, whatever it may be.

There is definitely something going on. I don't think you (some players) are too much more aware than anyone else.
