Just remind me how much money did we make in our 4 seasons in the prem? Nothing, nada…we ended up with a large debt. The concept that you will make large profits from the prem is a total myth
When I talk about money I'm referring to what it makes for the broadcasters principally, it's they who keep it going.
On the other hand you could go up, spend little and use the money to build a state of the art academy like some others have done. The only problem is some places have fans who will turn up year after year even if they are going nowhere, still getting 20,000 and over of League 1 after relegation and we don’t.
Q, How does an AI bot commit suicide? A, It tells a manager to leave two attackers up the pitch at a corner kick. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
imagine the moaning ****s on here if we went up & “spend little”, they would implode…no ambition, wasted opportunity etc etc etc
Exactly this. He loves himself too much and won't change his style for anyone. Yesterday showed when we played a good team we can match them, and that is down to him. He is a good coach. However when we play teams like Birmingham and are one nil up the time is to change style and see the game out. This is where an older head would help. I would love Rosenior to succeed and he is showing signs of being a great coach and man manager but for frigs sake talk less and accept that you're in need of a bit of help from someone longer in the tooth than you are. This is the Championship, its a tough place to cut your teeth.
The fans get £8 pints and a chance to see 'Dick' Van Dijk mop up high balls all day long for Liverpool,we also gain the privilege of having to pay in the region of £50-£60 for an away game(no guarantee of a ticket though I'm afraid)... The Club or owner in particular inherit a fatter wallet with which they can pay players £50-£60k a week and for that they'll swear undying loyalty until a bigger offer hits the table...
Interesting that, as a generalisation, it seems like those who get accused of being 'overly negative' are also the ones that most want to see us go up to the PL and for the club to be the best it can be. #DareToDream(younegativetwats)
The championship is great but nothing beats seeing little old Hull City in the worlds greatest football league, do you know how mad it is going around the world and people know about Hull just cause of the Premier League? And like someone else said, no better feeling than beating those glory supporting clubs. Makes you proud!
To be fair I've trudged to Boothferry Park and in more recent years the KC Stadium knowing we were going to get battered. Isn't that part of the attraction? It makes the good days feel so much better. I would hate to be a plastic who knows nothing other than success. I sit at Man City a lot of weeks with my daughter watching them all, tourists there expecting 5-0. I enjoy watching the standard of football and as I'm doing my UEFA C currently I spend more time watching shape and movement than getting excited over goals but my daughter is one of those fans who latched on in latter years and I like seeing her happy. She comes to Hull City first and foremost so I'm allowing this manchester thing to happen and hope she grows out of it!!
Not if they knew that was the intention and the money was spent on an academy to develop players of the future.
Commercially, if we were to get promoted IMO it would be huge. They have already done some fantastic sponsorship deals. ... Acun and his people would have every Turkish supporter supporting HCAFC as their second team and his team has already proved astute in some of the signings, Philogene and Omur to name but two. I'd be REALLY happy being a Wolves with all their Portugese players.
Imagine promotion at the end of this season and even more Liam bashing by some of our ‘Fans’, that think they know better.
Both go hand in hand? Criticising what you see on the pitch and demanding better and more of it continually generally points to frustration and a yearning for bigger and better things.We have a support who in the main now crave Premier League Football.I have no issue with that!! I've seen the Club at it's worst and best and nothing will ever take away or equal the emotion I felt when we realised our dream and finally achieved something many of us never dreamt possible in 2008....Nowadays,I see the Premier League as a cess-pit full of primadonnas and debt ridden Clubs. It's not for me but it's certainly not my intention to tell anyone else what to think or desire...
