I guess the plan is to spend big this window to make sure we stay up next season and then hopefully spend less over future windows, and longterm start bringing more youth players into the senior fold etc. It's obviously a nice plan, but it could quite easily go wrong...
The Allams don't know football and don't understand football. Any normal business would expect that if they invest in infrastructure, better stock, better staff etc they will increase turnover and profitability. If there is a downturn they can trim overheads, sell off stock, reduce stock levels etc. In football you can invest massively in all the above and be relegated, and have no time to make the changes necessary to survive. I honestly don't think their egos allow them to contemplate this.
So what do you suggest they do Oh Wise One? Stop spending money on players? Stop improving the infrastructure? Stop throwing money at the Academy? Seriously, I'd love to know, unless you mention selling more shirts in Hull, then I'll just ignore you. So over to you, what's your master plan for improving the club?
AFC Hull City? Then we'd be top of the league in the off-season. That'd look good to potential sponsors (assuming we start courting them in late May/early June)!
As Yorkshire's only representatives in the Prem and probably the top places Yorkshire club continuously since 2008 ('Boro aside) the club could maybe do more to claw back support from East yorks and North Yorks especially
The club could and should do far far more to get fans from all 3 directions. It's ****ing embarrassing how small we actually are considering the size of the City and catchment area. Happy joking about selling more shirts in Hull is daft, cos it's exactly what we should be doing. We should be turning people away from our little ground and discussing the need for expansion. But oh no it's wages isn't it. The club are doing all they can but we're the only poor place in the UK so no one can afford it round here, even if they did know when the games were on.
