Brilliant, been waiting for this! Ngl I feel low-key invested in Hull City's woes just because of you, Alfie. I hope the next time you feel compelled to make a video talking about Hull City it's on a more positive note, and not because Fabrizio Romano announces that they've had their jersies changed to red, renamed the Hull Tigers Presented by Saudi Aramco, and signed Mason Greenwood for £100M.

I can only assume Rosenior was pumping Acuns missus, there could have been no other reason for such a bizarre manoeuvre by a club chairman. The worst decision taken by the club in my lifetime and I am nearly 70! He has set us into a downward spiral from which we cant escape.

[@F1Krazy]

[@jameswaumsley7701]

Middlesbrough fan here. Lot sof sympathy for Hull's predicament. Last January, from the outside looking in, looked like a ridiculous lapse in judgement. As you say, it was an absolutely insane time to attempt a promotion push, in a season where the division functionally had three Premier League teams in it and an Ipswich side that Hull had no realistic chance to overtake. The way it tanked Hull's PSR manoevurability was blatantly obvious for all to see, and the deals were mostly ones that didn't make sense for where the club was at. Seeing Greaves and Philogene go in the summer and the money unable to be meaningfully reinvested certainly made me, among many others, write Hull off in terms of viability as promotion candidates for this season - probably mid-table at best. But I don't think most people from outside the division thought the drop-off would be this extreme. Seeing the up-tick in Boro since we got competent football people in at the top has been joyous, and I hope Hull get there too but I have no idea how it's happening.

[@stepheng8779]

It's because he's an idiot trying to buy his way up when it wasn't even there to buy. All we needed in January was a striker, we still haven't got one 🤦 Be like if Boro had panicked last season and sacked Carrick at the start, stupid.

[@nostalgeomusic]

As a Hull City fan who previously lived in Hamburg, and therefore watched the consistent 2. Bundesliga favourites HSV failing to get promotion year after year, I knew his failure was inevitable...

[@DerDino87]

In Hamburg it wasn’t Walter‘s fault though, he was by far the best coach we‘ve had in those 7 years

[@tombardsley3081]

⁠@@DerDino87best coach in a lower that did not get the job done when it mattered. He failed to get them promoted when the opportunity was right there, especially in 22/23 when there was 0 competition club size wise and losing out to Darmstadt and Heidenheim isn’t acceptable. He deserved to be sacked.

[@seandelap8587]

Hull City to their credit possibly had one of the most memorable seasons in the top flight during the 2008/09 season with how it started and finished and the antics of Phil Brown when he gave the half time roasting to the players on the pitch during half time against Man City when they were being trounced 4-0 i mean that was definitely a unique situation in EPL history

[@gatnik3581]

I am a NK Maribor supporter and soon after the takeover he's done exactly the same thing. Brought in loads of players that we (probably) cannot afford and immediately sacked a manager who was doing great in the league and is widely considered a club legend - both as a player and a manager. The paralles with Rosenior you described are chilling.

[@michaelgilewicz5918]

I wouldn't let Walther off the hook in this situation, because the tactical problems Hull have experienced are exactly the same Hamburg experienced under Walther. The man is quite simply unable and even more unwilling to adjust his tactics, no matter if the squad fits them or not.

[@maciejbala477]

sure, but Alfie's point is that Ilicali knew that's how he is, that's how he always was, and hired him anyway. Therefore, he was just doing what he was hired for.

[@tdyerwestfield]

Wow, I commented on the previous video with a vague title that I thought it'd be a "What's going on at Hull" and then literally the next video is exactly that.

[@mahirulascesni4949]

Let me tell you my insiders for this Alfie, you can trust me because I am a Turkish football fan and have a lot knowledge of Acun Ilıcalı. This will be a really long comment so bear with me guys: Acun Ilıcalı is a Fenerbahçe fan for life which he also now works as sort of a Director of Football. Probably this is why he doesn't give two sh1ts about your club- stated because he only cares about Fenerbahçe at the moment. Acun is likely never have any sort of vision for being a Director of Football. He is a disgustingly wealthy man throughout his time with TV8 and shows like Masterchef Türkiye and Survivor Türkiye as well. Ironically, the way he got his money was actually associated with FETÖ(A terr0rism and political Islam group led by Fethullah Gulen-who died last month) but he(Ilıcalı) claimed to be a guy that was againist it. When I said he has no vision, well uh... I wasn't even particularly exaggerating at all. He sacked your club's manager in 2022(I don't remember his name but I did hear him doing a solid job) and replaced him with Shota Arveladze FFS. Shota tried himself managing Trabzonspor and failed, and the signings they made were utterly atrocious. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh(🇮🇷) and Ozan Tufan(🇹🇷) were players who Fenerbahçe tried to get rid of so, he didn't really help you at this situation. I think the only thing that he tries to do, is giving Süper Lig and Turkish football players some chances that they'll never get at all probably. If this is the case, then please don't expect anything amazing from his work. Well, if he somehow manages to find out how to manage a club in UK-which I really don't think he will- maybe we can see the Tigers back in the Premier League If you have read this comment so far, thank you and cheers. Love from Türkiye 😊🧡🖤 #COYT
