Match Day Thread Hull City v Barnsley

Assuming, City drop a division, here's a sobering thought. It took a club the size of Sheff Utd a decade to get out of League 1. If the Allam's hang on for another few seasons, it could be the thick end of a generation before City are anywhere near the summit. After all who in their right mind is going to be tempted to buy the club, when the price is grossly inflated and the assets are virtually zero. Wolves got lucky with the crew that bailed them out. But there is one major fundamental difference, Wolves have history, plus owe their ground.

 

There is no "if" about it, just a when.

 

I tend to think it can be avoided. How? I don't know, other than a massive pow-wow in the dressing room and an agreement to roll the sleeves up and slug it out. Maybe it could require a win at Cardiff on the final day...That seems to ring a bell from the past.

 

I do

 

Our kid says that if we get turned over on Saturday then the P45 awaits GM. If I hear any more I will keep you posted.

Your obedient servant
Vern.

 

Unless we have some major changes, if it doesn't happen this year, it will happen next year, or the year after. I think without a change of owner, we will be relegated within 3 or 4 seasons and probably sooner

 

Please tell me they are not coming back for Saturday.

 

We all know the club is rotten to the core.
We sold out best players add to that
too many injuries and players who clearly are disinterested in the club because they know they are not getting new deals don't want to stay or are on loan.
Not sure I blame the manager as much as I blame the players though he will get sacked next week.

We will join Luton and Reading in League 1 where we will stay or more likely drop down to League 2.

 

Oh, he did hear the fan in row Z then?

 

just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, this twat resurfaces from under his rock

 

Nailed it mate.

 

What a difference 4 days make, PNE away we did okay albeit we were undone again by two minutes of madness, 10 pages reported on here. Then last night, absolutely crap, 18 pages and counting. Evidence that we are more consumed by our teams inability in not being able to deliver a half decent performance never mind positive result.

Come on lads, grind out something positive on Satdee

 

Or put another way. We now have a generation of supporters who have never seen Hull City any lower then the Championship. This is the worse spell they have known following City. That is a sobering thought and also makes you wonder what they would be like if we did go down ?

17 point gap to 4 points in less than 2 months. I didn't think it would happen but now see it as near inevitable.
Even official Twitter account is taking the piss. It might not be just McCann who gets sacked shortly. ...... from clubs twitter account .....
The not-so-high-lights...

I would agree with your son, I don’t expect to win every game. But I do expect professional footballers to put some effort in & TRY to win the game

 

That’s starting to sound like unsporting behaviour, fielding a striker who might score. We’d never do that.
