    So you don't think the club is in a better position now than under the Allams?
    Is there any scenario you can realistically think of where Ehab would have invested in much in the Team to get us to finish seventh?

    Why would anyone count McCann as a Manager under their reign when they let him go immediately after acquisition?

    As for signings... who exactly are you expecting us to sign on the budgets we are limited to?
    With the exceptions of PL teams coming down with parachute payments, all championship signings of low cost players are usually punts, and all have their best academy products plundered when teams with larger budgets come knocking.

    On August 31st, your summarisation that we have a worse squad than the one that got promoted from League One will look brainless.

    Underwhelmed by all of this tbh. I don’t see how morphing into Hull City is going to help us survive in the PL.

    Baz Richardson has gone because Walter wanted his own coaching team in which is pretty standard

    I think you have made 3 good signings that will improve greatly under McKenna he is a good manager and you still have to build for the future these are not just players to fill a squad these are players that are very capable and i think buying at this age with the potential they have is only good for your club.

    Tbh we don't really care if you survive or not. Greaves is ready for the prem, thought he would have gone elsewhere though, jaden thinks he's better than he is, blows hot and cold, delap doesn't score enough goals but he wasn't our player anyway. Enjoy the prem

    You're getting 3 very good players

    Greaves - 6ft4, left footed, strong, good in the year, great on the ball, English. Got the potential to go to the very top if he carries on improving at his current rate. I'll say it quietly but could end up playing for England.
    Philogene - will amaze you and frustrate you in equal measure. Got great potential again but his decision making can be very frustrating. Ridiculous skills with the ball.
    Delap - A player you love watching. Strong, powerful, quick, will drop in, turn and sprint at defenders. Loves to blast the ball. Raw but bags of potential.

    Good luck for the season. I think you're buying the right sorts.

    And to add to that I'd give my right arm to have all three of them playing for Hull City right now. Jacob Greaves is 100% better than Harry Maguire was when he played for us. He is definatley a future England player.

    Greaves should make the step. Philogene and Delap are punts but I feel in your system should flourish in certain games. If one out of the 3 hits you’ve done good business imo

    .... and is Turkish (and English).
    Doubt very much that is a coincidence!

    Baz said Giles is on the plane but not surprising to hear Greaves and Philogene aren't.

    They’re supposedly switching to a back 3 so Greaves will be even better imo
