I accept we are not playing great , not winning as many as we want , and we deserve a few more points on play but not scoring is an issue - away fans are almost always noisier than home wherever you go , especially if they score early. Bruce when at Brum came to us and after said the KC at the time was very loud and v hostile so we can be just that - if we start winning and backs are to the wall you will hear the noise multiply massively - but then the stewards etc will quash the ‘disorder’ or re arrange the crowd to suit .
 
Looks like the owner is not going to address the managerial issue, very disappointing. It's just way too easy for other teams to exploit the way we play under Walters system. Maybe he will come back with a new way of doing things after the break but it doesn't seem likely. You can see how he failed to get a huge team like Hamburg out of the weak Bundesliga 2. The worse thing is that this was all entirely predictable. He must have had proper support and transfers at Hamburg too so theres no excuse on that front.

We effectively owe Acun Medya, so for as long as Acun owns the club, we're fine and it's a case of restructuring the debt accordingly without doing a Mel Morris. If we start to see players being swapped between us and Maribor or Fenerbache for random prices, that's when I'd start to worry. That's not the same as us buying players from there, so deals like Tufan who was a player who they actively wanted rid of aren't what I mean.

We sold Philogene, Greaves, Tufan, Allsop, Estupinan, Ingram and Lokilo for a combined £34.5m this summer. Three of those were high earners.

We spent just over £24m on Millar, Belloumi, Kamara, Giles, Hughes, Palmer, Burstow, Racciopi and Mehlem, plus whatever loan fees we paid for Zambrano, Puerta, Rushworth, Burns and Bedia. Probably not unreasonable to assume that Millar, Belloumi and Giles will have wanted a decent wedge to come here and I doubt Hughes will be on less than £10k a week given the competition to sign him.

So in terms of money made, I'd say we were in the black in that regard, but as we know, wages eat up a lot of the expenditure and without knowing the exact figures it's hard to know exactly how we're doing going forward. The new sponsorship deals will also have lightened the load and increased attendances will also have helped.

This is why I said that we shouldn't go mental in January, regardless of the position we are in. We could do to loan in a winger to help cover the losses of Millar and Belloumi, but I honestly don't see the point in going all in when our season isn't looking like being anything other than transitional. Even with those two key players out, we have enough quality in depth to not go down, it's about setting them up in the right way.

What I'd like to see is this current group kept together and resist any bids for Hughes, make the loans of Puerta and Zambrano permanent and a couple of incomings that pad out the squad and see us through to Summer. We can't have an overhaul every year just because we don't get promoted and have Lewie Coyle, Alfie Jones and Regan Slater as the only remnants year on year.

Weak Bundesliga 2. Hamburg has a 57,000 stadium but half a dozen clubs have larger stadiums than them. Others haven’t taken Hamburg up or bigger sides than them.

**** off you Sweaty. Why don’t you buy a season pass for the MKM.

No doubt you think they only get big crowds because there is less to do in Hamburg than there is in Hull.:emoticon-0140-rofl:
 
"I know that what I do,nobody else in the world does it"
I wonder why Tim?
Maybe because it doesn't work, (as your limited success in 2Bundesliga testifies) & no experienced manager
would ever set a team up like you do!!!!!

If Acun can't see now in Nov 2024 that under Walter, Hull City have no chance of being promoted to the Premier League in May 2025
& are more likely to be relegated to Div 1, then he only has himself to blame

I’m sure Acun can see it, however this team doesn’t need an interim for a few games it needs a new head coach straight away.

My first choices would be Skubala, Selles or Mowbray

66 Chazz. Thanks for all the good wishes. Went dizzy and blacked out for two minutes, slight ache in my chest. Thankfully the wife was home and ignored my protestations that I’d be fine and called an ambulance. ECG told them I’d had a heart attack and 90 minutes later I had two stents in my heart. Going home today, ambulance and hospital staff have been bloody brilliant.
