    Maybe this message board, or those on it who want stability and for Selles to get a fair chance, should write an open letter to Acun asking for just that.

    For me Selles football is boring, we never break when we should/can we tend to go backwards instead. Our forwards dont score goals but how many shots do they actually have either? Its not very many. He also wont get the players he wants he will get some other players that somebody else wants. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go if i am honest.

    Perhaps this is something that HCST should consider. An open letter congratulating Selles and the club on survival and encouraging the club to move forward with him and give us a chance to see what he can do with a summer of preparation, and avoid any more unnecessary upheaval. I think Acun would listen.

    Mike White can be overly dramatic - but Baz certainly isn't contradicting him by saying "Ruben's future is not cut and dried and there will be conversations had in the coming days".


    C'mon. This is the owner who thought he could do better than Rosenior - the most successful coach he's appointed yet and who's just beaten PSG.

    I'm expecting another unjustified sacking, another left-field wildcard-appointment whist doing the footballing equivalent of chucking the whole deck in the air and hoping it lands in a flush again this summer.

    Cos why wouldn't I?

    No, fans shouldn’t be in charge of making footballing decisions.

    If Acun got rid of Rosey due to his style of football, then expect Selles to get the chop as his style is exactly the same.

    Personally, I'd stick with him

    who said fans should be in charge?

    but open letters are common in other supporter clubs

    I'm tempted to write to HCST as a member and suggest it.

    What’s the point of an open letter to Acun? What would congratulating the players and selles do? Unlikely to sway his opinion and if it did, would we want decisions like that to be influenced by an open letter from the fans? Let the footballing people make the footballing decisions, it’s what they’re paid for, then judge accordingly.

    Fans influenced a decision not to sign Cooper in the summer.

    Fans also influenced the decision to finally sack Walter about 4 hours after he'd backed him.

    Oh, and fans via his echo chambers also validated his decision to sack Rosenior.

    All week it's been Acun is selling up
    We're going bust due to a lack of money and yet he's going to be choosing our next manager among other things.

    i just think theres something toxic within the fans
    and its probably just online

    like on here, people saying the players shouldnt be celebrating after we've stayed up

    tell any of the away fans today and theyd think you're bonkers
    football careers are short and 99% of player dont lift ****ing trophies

    and if they cant even celebrate with fans, whats the point
    why would they care if they just get criticized 100% of the time

    I haven't said he's selling up, I've said the club is financially in the sh*t and it would be in insurmountable financial sh*t in L1.

    Personally I don't see how he has the equity in the club to sell even if he wanted to.

    Right so what you’re saying is, fan pressures have led him to decisions that have proved to be correct and also incorrect.

    The biggest mistake many fans point to in recent times is sacking rosenior and you’ve used that as en example as to when he let the fans influence him. That’s my point. Basing decisions on the will of the fans is nonsensical and no way to run a football club
