I really don’t think it’s syd
He’s spot

owners chairmen etc keep out of the playing side of things
When they meddle it ends badly
I was merely saying Rosie spoke positively about smith and in fact he does all the players. Then he moved him on, if someone ask Acun a question about a player, he’s not likely to be negative. I’m not sure Acun has been negative about anything while he’s here.
I get the issue syd’s suggesting about chairman getting involved but Liam would say exactly the same

The more worrying thing with Sinik, are the reports of his influence on Tufan who has become something of a fans favourite. Maybe Acun isn't the type to admit he's made a mistake.
This just sounds stupid and made up by aome party and seems to have grown legs . Didn't HT2 comment that he was shipped out due to being homesick and nothing to do with his influence on Tufan?

That might be the case, or like with Tufan, he found it hard to adjust to the English game at first and needs time to adjust. I am sure Liam won't be swayed by Acun, he will make his own mind up, so as I said TWT.
This.

He struggled to settle in England. So he was loaned out.

Now he's back, he's either good enough or he's not. The club is making sounds that he is, which might be just positive speech, and if it is, he will go. Anything else is just uninformed supposition.

He seemed to respond to the loan. Started most games for Antalyaspor and chipped in with several goals and assists.
 
He made 12 appearances for us, the same number as Ebiowei. Was that too short to judge Ebiowei?

Sinik I think started one game and made a handful of 10 minute cameos. Ebiowei easily played twice as many minutes.

And if Ebiowei was our player I don’t think it would be a bad thing to give him another chance.

Even more so for Sinik who as stated above missed preseason and a large chunk of the season with injury, away from home in a different country.

If we’re gonna write players off that quick we might as well get rid of Lo Tutala now and send Delap back to Man City.

Where is he meddling?
He’s been asked to provide an interview and the details are being drip fed out by the interviewer. I’d he’s asked a question about one of the players where there is uncertainty around, he’s going to provide an answer rather than avoid the question.

Quite. Was it the Turkish media who asked him about Sinik?

Either way, if he’s asked about a player and he says ‘not my domain mate’ that looks a bit more weird than saying ‘oh it’s like a new signing!’

He’s got tickets to sell and Turkey to get excited. It’s PR spin. It doesn’t mean he’s putting pressure on Rosey, otherwise why did Sinik go out on loan last year?

Careful, some on here think if you say someone's putting a positive spin on things you're calling them a liar. ;)
 
or some who say the owner should not say anything about the players how is that a positive spin.

I wasn't responding to you, I wasn't referencing you, I don't know why you felt the need to respond to me when you and the person who liked your post keep insisting they don't want to keep having a discussion. Just leave it alone.

That's ridiculous. Acun is promoting Hull City.
He has no choice but to be a hands-on owner. The FFP restrictions means he has to make sure the investments made will deliver the highest value.
Players like Seri wouldn't have come to City if it wasn't for Acun getting personally involved.

LR is still a fairly inexperienced manager and his poor judgement over Malcolm shows that the player investment decisions shouldn't be left entirely to him.

Then appoint a Football Director - I thought that's what Tan was?
