If the Allams could persuade Steve Bruce, regardless of what anyone thinks of him, he was a big name at the time, then I’m sure our present owner could get a decent manager in place.
Shota's done one...

agree, lovely guy but never the right man to take Hull City into the Premier League & keep them there (which I'm sure is Acun's goal)
Someone now needs to come in & lay down the law & get this dysfunctional squad firing on all cylinders. I agree the recruitment has been strange & the squad is not balanced but we have some quality players & now need a quality manager to sort the dressing room out & if need be put a boot up a few arses!!!!
Something behind the scenes isn’t right, players not putting a shift in.
This isn’t about quality. I’m talking about effort & hard work. Body language is all wrong.
pethaps we will never know the truth but I’m convinced something is wrong in the camp
there needs to be a big clear out of players in Jan & that includes the Div 1 dead wood & some/most of the summer signings who have not worked out
there is still plenty of time for an experienced manager to mould a top 6 team
we’ve already had a clear out….that went really well…we are in 20th.
we need the opposite. Get a United & stable squad / team
Who are the new signings which need clearing out?
the ones who in Jan the new manager does not want at the club & wants them off the wage bill so he can bring in players he does
And the prize for how to not answer the question goes to....^^^^^^^^^^^
No new signings are going anywhere until at least next summer. The new manager needs to get the whole squad into something resembling a team that will pick up points, then look for 2 or 3 more in January to shore up our obvious weaknesses

Surprising thing is he did really well last season. And he achieved that with two defensive battlers in midfield. Why did he not learn from that?

He did say it originally, when he was first asked by Burnsy soon after he joined. He said 4-3-3 was his preferred formation. There's every chance he didn't mean or understand what he was saying, mind you.
If Shota goes Acun is not the type to make the same mistake twice. We need another centre half in Jan and we need a proper captain in the middle of the park.
Did he? Did he really do much better then Grant? In the games leading up to his sacking, Grant had us playing really well and the tide had turned if I remember correctly.
Yeah that Blackburn game on the day of the takeover we were absolutely brilliant. Followed up by the performance at Bournemouth it seemed as if not only the club was freed from Allam but also Grant. His demeanour in interviews had entirely transformed
I believe stats suggest he did? I do agree Grant had turned it round and was unfortunate to get the push. Regardless, Shota had some success in a new league and yet doesn’t seem to have learnt.
