    Do you know all this? It’s a reasonable assumption, but none of us have a ****ing clue who or where the money is coming from. We are definitely splurging more than Acun would reasonably be able to afford to spend, given what’s publicly available about his wealth. But we just don’t know do we.

    Or just lack of quality in the final 3rd being compounded by the.few goal threats we've had looking no where near what they were before the break?

    Were're still pushing to the same areas looking to play the same way, but where there was movement and a bit of guile in the forward line now there's none. And specific individuals have noticeably disappeared.

    He's borrowing the money to fund us. The club is not credit worthy and there'll come a.point where commercial lenders won't lend any more.

    We're already paying a higher amount of interest than would be deemed 'normal'. Something Kieran Maguire picked up on.

    In league 1 we could well be in a situation where even the media company can't borrow the money to subsidise us any further.

    You’ve just answered your own question. It’s common knowledge he used a loan to buy the club from the Allams (reported as £20 million for the club itself + £20 million to write down the outstanding debt to Allamhouse). Our accounts for 23/24 and 22/23 are public. We’re losing close to £500,000 per week. He doesn’t have enough money to fund the club out of his own pocket so he’s using loans from creditors to bankroll the day-to-day expenses and transfers.

    Good point but it doesn’t appear to be the club’s credit being used for the loans directly but Acun Medya’s. That loan is then loaned to City with 5% interest owed to Acun Medya.

    Actually I think it has changed slightly. Some of our ‘good’ games before had Joseph on left wing with Pedro up top. Don’t think we’ve done that since the Pedro sending off.

    But then Jones was our worst player when he came on as a sub against Derby. Gave away a silly foul for the goal, lost his man for the goal, blazed over ridiculously.

    The only possible reason is becasue he's been told he has no new contract

    Thats the only reason
    Right?

    There was a discussion on twitter between folk connected with a commercial ratings agency going to either the summer or jan window. Think it got deleted pretty quickly but the club does not appear to be credit worthy as a standalone entity to any significant degree even in the championship.

    And why would Acun need to load the liability onto the media company if the club could wash it's own face?

    It ties in with a few going off.the boil. And if its coming from Howden and toast and going around the hospitality areas of the west stand also then it's deffo worth taking note of.

    Of course the manager could have just have randomly decided to change his approach from one that's working and telling them to stand still and not look for space in the attacking 3rd but I know what I think is more likely to have happened with this ownership.

    We've put one decent half of football in since they returned from the break. That is out of character for this side under Selles. Very rarely stank it out 2 games running.

    I find this interesting that Baz has turned on Acun given historically he’s been a mouth piece for him

    Strange he's been bombed out too.

    Considering he was one of our most consistent performers and a saleable asset.
