I’m simply asking you if everything is going as swimmingly as you hinted it would now we’ve got a genius like Spors in charge of recruitment? Because so far it seems not a lot has changed. it isn’t asking a lot , having spent upward of 50m , not to expect to get stuffed 3-1 at a side who’s previous home game was a 0-3 loss to Blackburn, and who’s only win to date before this was a last minute win at home to Oxford. I also asked whether you think Damion Downs was what we needed up front, as our only striker signing? Simple enough

Yep, they literally can’t drag themselves away from the temptation and habit of filling the squad with several “might come good and make us a tidy profit” young players from abroad, rather than actually spend the correct amount of money to improve the sodding first team right here and now with proven performers. They finally attempted to do that with Fellows and Azaz, and probably Jander and Scienza, but the actual spine of the team is noticeably lacking as usual. It isn’t difficult to find an effective striker for championship level for a club with our pull for this level, but we’ve sure as hell made it difficult .

Ah so despite needing someone ready for the here and now, we’ve yet again reverted to type and signed someone who “might come good in a year or two”. Brilliant, couldn’t make it up. Especially the fact that he’s “not really a target man” which is surely what we were needing , someone strong to hold the ball up since Adams left, to be a focal point .

Any update on these thoughts? I thought everything was going to be miraculously better now Spors was in charge of recruitment. What do you make of the Downs signing being our sole striker signing to solve all issues up front? I mean, he must be who they’ve hung their hat on, as he’s the only striker we signed. Reckon he’s looking the part so far?

Bang on. It’s very frustrating to see the same mistakes being repeated year after year while the club slowly declines each season

Stephens and THB would probably be beaten in the air for their winning goal

There’s absolutely nothing harsh about criticising a guy who’s been brought in clearly as our main striker signing this season, (i mean he must be , because he’s the only striker they signed), especially when he isn’t prepared to get himself on the end of balls into the box. As a big centre forward that’s usually your main job, and not only doesn’t he do it, he appears to be afraid to and lacking the commitment or bravery to do so. So yeah, it’s not harsh at all. He’s fucking shite, and he also doesn’t want to go in where it hurts. Combine the two and you’ve got a complete waste of a place in the squad. Useless, and id be absolutely amazed if he improves enough to be a starter in this team. Let’s not forget that spors identified that we needed height and strength in the squad. So either Downs isn’t doing what he was signed to do and we’ve seen him do for his previous clubs when scouting him, or we’ve yet again completely fucked up and managed to sign a player who’s the exact opposite of what we needed, other than the fact he’s tall. Shambles all round but are we surprised?

“No heart “ and “lightweight” seem to be pre-requisites for SR when scouting players to sign. Absolute joke

Probably tells you that the owners are continuously making the wrong appointments doesn’t it?

Yep. You will lose to any level of side if you can’t cope with basic stuff like this. It was embarrassing to watch, the sheer inability to deal with long balls into our box, especially when you think of the money we’ve spent. It’s complete incompetence

Edozie seems to the only player in our squad who can actually beat a man and get to the by line. Yet he’s nowhere to be seen. Not even seen enough of that from fellows yet.

They’re obsessed with Bazunu being our goalkeeping poster boy, that’s why. They were adamant they weren’t going to block his path to being our number 1 again for the championship. They literally don’t know what they’re doing. At first they thought he was prem level when he first signed, then after promotion even they had to admit they couldn’t go into another prem season with him between the sticks, so signed Ramsdale. But this season was their big chance to show everyone how good he is at this level , to somehow justify all the money and faith spent on him so they weren’t going to let anyone better than him ruin that chance. Absolute charlatans running this club , obsessing over a guy who’s literally costing points on a regular basis by being a genuinely terrible goalkeeper

The key word is right there - “seasoned”. This joke of a board don’t sign seasoned players. They’re obsessed with far field young developing players and that’s the entire reason we are in the mess we are in. You could say Azaz and Fellows are seasoned players but they aren’t playing in the key positions in the spine of the team, they’re luxury creative players. We’ve been crying out for strong experienced leaders in the spine of our team for ever, under these pricks. They just don’t get it. You can sign all the flair and creativity you like, but if you have no one pulling them up when things get tough, to drag the game by the scuff of the neck, then you’re not going to do anything. It’s blindingly obvious that was what we needed, and have needed for almost every year of their ownership, but they’ll never get it. They need to go.

Get this over confident big headed clown out of our club too. Delusional sense of how good he is. He isn’t, he’s shite

Ask yourself what or who the key components are in you and I feeling this way. Sport Republic. They are killing this club with every poor decision after poor decision that they make. The club is falling to bits piece by piece under their “guidance”. Every season we get that bit worse than the previous one. They need to fuck off and start being put under pressure from the fanbase and be called out in a public manner so the wider football circle can see what idiots they are: after 4 years of this shit enough is enough. Another 4 years and we will almost certainly be in league one and that’s being kind to them,

The most laughable thing about this is , I’ve heard that behind the scenes they were giving themselves a massive pat on the back for this signing and considered it a coup to get him at that price, and assumed he’d be coveted by other clubs and demand a higher fee. Absolutely comical

It’s now getting to the point where im starting to actively dislike the club, seeing people like Stephens and Bazunu starting every week , out and out losers symptomatic of the state of the club under these cretins. The tempo and makeup of our squad and style of play is the polar opposite of what most fans want to see in their football team right now.

You’ve almost got to laugh though, we spent a couple of years praying to see the end of Mara at this football club, and as soon as we do, the owners spend another large chunk of money on an even worse clone of him

Exactly. There is a reason why Hulls crosses caused havoc several times and resulted in goals being scored, whereas ours resulted in the keeper claiming everything or their defenders nodding everything away with complete ease, and that’s because they had players willing to get on the end of crosses and put themselves about and time runs into our box, whereas our “centre forward” was incapable of getting on the end of anything, and didn’t really look like he wanted to either. Totally unforgivable and shouldn’t be picked again for a long long time . Not only is he crap, but he clearly lacks the desire as well

May aswell have Rod Stewart up front at this fucking rate

The fact that either Ollie McBurnie or Keiffer Moore would be comfortably the best centre forwards at the club, speaks volumes for our striker recruitment. Downs looks league 2 level

Exactly. They don’t have the credit in the bank to be making more catastrophic lack of judgement errors like thinking yet again that Bazunu is fine as number 1. He’s synonymous with these charlatans unfortunately as one of their first key decisions was hanging their hat on him being the future of our goalkeeping department.

He also had no strikers instinct either, was always on his heels when crosses came in, barely challenged the keeper on the few times we did get a half reasonable cross in towards the 6 yard box, worryingly it looked like he didn’t WANT to get on the end of anything either. Pathetic signing in a long list of pathetic signings by this joke of an ownership group. The Hull fans couldn’t believe how bad he was and couldn’t believe the amount we forked out for him either. Would be Laughable if it wasn’t our club, but none of us are fucking laughing at this shit show as we lie 19th in the championship

In all seriousness, surely there’s a limit for how long a fanbase can tolerate being fucked in the arse season after season by this complete idiots. It’s time to let them know this isn’t acceptable on any level . On another level this seasons matchday tickets are an absolute fucking joke too bearing in mind what we witnessed last season, absolute piss take having to pay 30-35 quid to watch Swansea for example. There are no limits to their arrogance . It’s ok though, Dragans pulling the strings now..it’s all gonna be ok especially with spors in charge of recruitment; fuck off

That’s being unfair to useless cunts
