@bazdjcooper I assume that the two windows includes the current one with the other being the January 26 window? For what it’s worth it’s quite refreshing to see the club trading in a more sustainable and robust manor under the current restrictions. Football is spiralling out of control.

@Victoria_Spratt Viability is challenging in many areas of the north with high build costs and low revenues. That gap will get bigger as wealth inequality continues to grow and much needed higher quality homes are absolutely needed.

@PJBuckingham @TheAthleticFC Great article! The club and its future need to be protected from an owner who lives in a fantasy world. Taking a critical view of any owner is a fans duty to ensure the best interests of a club as whole are met. Wishful thinking to hope that one day a 50+1 rule can exist here!

@robbopalmer @PJBuckingham Absolutely agree, the club and its future needs protecting from an owner who lives in a fantasy world. Taking a critical view of any owner is a fans duty to ensure the best interests of a club as whole are met. Wishful thinking I guess to hope that one day a 50+1 rule can exist!

Superb journalism from @PJBuckingham A long & uncomfortable read for any #HCAFC fans… But a necessary one! Maybe an embargo on spending money on players isn’t a bad thing?
Philip Buckingham@PJBuckingham

Hull City are becoming the EFL’s latest problem club. Mounting financial concerns ahead of the new season under Acun Ilicali. Debts, advanced payments and suppliers going unpaid. Special report for @TheAthleticFC #hcafc ✍🏻⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/64826…

Still can’t believe that this is the last @itvcycling coverage of @LeTour, absolutely criminal that such a great event is to be taken behind a paywall in the UK. What @nedboulting and the team do to show the race, its history and its beauty makes my summer! #TourDeFrance2025

I wouldn't ever want to be Chancellor for all the money in the world. Incredibly tough job. Impossible ask. Especially over the last decade. How do you try to piece together the mis-shapen, independent jigsaw pieces of consumer issues, business, the economy, bond markets, stock markets, job markets, world economies, tariffs, and more. People often lambast Chancellors as 'unqualified' but no one is qualified to do such a broad job. Ultimately it is a political role for someone with hopefully some understanding of wider economic, financial and consumer issues. We have to give some respect to those who try, even if we disagree with their decisions. As no one will ever get it all right.

@angus_young61 Such a short sighted decision from an eduction leader. A real shame for a such a well respected school. Great to highlight this Angus.

@Victoria_Spratt Inflation, increase in quality(cost) to rightly meet higher net zero ambitions, bio diversity net gain requirements etc and a move to social rent means this is a significant real terms cut. Grant rates of 40%+ are needed in many areas of the north just to get close to break even.

This piece in The Guardian explains why we need to reclassify investment in housing as infrastructure spend. The housing crisis isn't going to be solved by just doing what we've done for last 30+ years: theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

@bazdjcooper @mikewhitesport @HullCity @acunilicali What reaction is he aware of the strength of feeling towards? The constant changes in approach, lack of apparent strategy at the club, sacking managers, high turnover of players or potentially appointing someone with an undesirable track record of views towards others in society?

Name mentioned elsewhere today but told Antalyaspor manager Emre Belözoğlu is the leading candidate for @HullCity job having been considered previously by Acun Ilicali. Controversial past. Suspended prison sentence in 2014 for using racist slur during game in 2012. #hcafc (1/2)

@robbopalmer @mikewhitesport Acun pressing ‘start new game’ in Football Manager for another season! Absolute mess, no strategy and no stability. Good luck Selles, another manager who go onto thrive I am sure.

Ruben Selles leaves #HCAFC with his reputation enhanced. Mission accomplished! He'd just got to know a club that: - Used 48 players last season - Signed 25 players since last summer Top managers have always told me in interviews that they need a core of 15-18 players!
Mike White@mikewhitesport

As I understand it, nobody’s lined up to immediately replace Selles which will make this decision even more concerning for fans who will be worried about another summer of uncertainty. I’m not currently expecting to get an interview Acun until this weekend as it stands. #hcafc

@mikewhitesport @bazdjcooper getting fed up with the circus around Hull City that the owner seems intent to continue with. I can’t get to games these days so my opinion is probably void for most but the club needs a proactive plan not this reactive approach. I say keep Selles

@mikewhitesport I think Selles is a manager that will get better with time and the ability to shape his squad. Reading fans back this up too.

I didn’t touch on this in my thread earlier but shouldn’t be overlooked. City’s defensive improvement should be credited to Selles, but with a nod to some players who are easy targets for some. Lack of goals is result of some questionable recruitment in that area. #hcafc
Phil Rudderforth ⚫🟠🇬🇧🇹🇷🇺🇦@PhilRudderforth

Since Selles came to the club, our goal difference has been zero, same for and against. That saved us yesterday. A huge shout out goes to Ivor Pandur for that.

@The1904Club Selles is a strong leader, the team was organised, motivated and a performance from every player. Pandur came back in and was solid again, great result and confidence to take forward. However the problem remains the turnover of players, the club needs stability and a strategy.
