    Not for the first time I find your posts irrational and broadbrush.

    Quite a few held views between the rock and the hard place you call the truth. Some didn't want MP, but accepted it as inevitable - that was certainly the case with me.

    Those others, just like me, got behind him and only criticised his decisions when events made it necessary - this on a Hull City football forum - how very dare we?

    MP rode his luck, he was out of his depth and just another passing punt by the odious twats. The issues that I, and others, highlighted were more than adequately proven to be justified by subsequent changes.

    It may just have been fluke, but the changes made a difference - if made earlier, when it was obvious to some of us, then our relegation might not have been seen by some as inevitable. I never thought, until the Sunderland game that relegstion was inevitable, I simply thought Silvas away record and big game capitulation was poor.

    I'm happy to apportion blame. Start with Bruce, Phelan, Silva and certain players, but, and you might be pleased to see this, I, just as with others on here, are capable of looking at tactical inadequacies and continuing to understand the inadequacies and hindrances that the odious twats who own the club present as an obstacle.

    But the point is that posters were justified to comment that, despite the shambolic recruitment, Phelan and Silva could have made a better fist of their responsibilities.

    You are welcome to your POV, but it is not as well thought through as you constantly demand we should accept. Your delivery certainly will annoy and alienate other posters who are similarly minded, with regards to the owners.

    You're turning into a David Icke charactor; I hope you like mauve ... :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think MP's tactics and formations cost us countless points - and ultimately relegation.

    Middlesbrough away was tactically the worst game I've seen us play in years. Keane up front - useless in the PL. And continuing to stick with Marshall when the Jack had been playing well.

    Yes he wasn't helped by our clueless owners son - but if we'd have had Silva for the first half of the season with the same squad as MP I'm certain we'd be safe now

    Phelan performed a miracle to keep us in the hunt come Christmas. And he got us to a Cup semi final. Lots of revisionist bullshit on here.

    Bollocks, it might not agree with your thinking but there is nothing revisionist about it, as it was all amply argued at the time. Disagree by all means, but yours is the only revisionist post on here.

    You're right, this is stupid. Phelan was out of his depth but you refuse to admit it.

    I think he is debating the reasons why Phelan was out of his depth. Most managers would sink with both hands tied behind their back.

    Sure, the owners tied his hands behind his back but Phelan also tied a rock to his feet.

    So their next steps appear to be strengthening the squad and backing Slutski the way they said they would.

    That's gonna hurt some of our fans.

    It appears the last choice is going to be correct.

    I'm not convinced yet, although it's a decent start if it becomes a flurry

    ****ing hell, what planet are you living on?

    The ones who have been forecasting doom and gloom, stating as fact we're being asset stripped by someone not competent to run a football club, who can't negotiate and doesn't know how to buy decent players? Same ones forecasting us plummeting to L2, which, you know, they're ok with.

    They sure as **** don't, it doesn't suit their agenda. At all.

    I would wait until the eggs hatch before counting the chickens.

    So far confirmed we have
    Aina on a season long loan
    Fraizer Campbell who came for nowt.

    I did try to copy and paste the outgoings but it appears as though I don't have enough free space in the memory. See page one of the transfer thread.
