As a Derby fan. I was annoyed when we replaced Rosenior considering he stuck with us through thick and thin, was happy to see him get the Hull job and even happier that he was doing a good job there, then I heard of his sacking I was shocked and saddened, poor guy cannot get a break. He seems to be getting sacked for no real reason.

[@dennisazurdia2638]

I will have to agree with you, but at the end of the day. We are seeing Derby once again in the Championship. While he indeed stuck with us through thick and thin and the worst times I will have to say. We are at the Championship and hoping for him to get another good position in the Championship. Edit: I have been a Derby fan for a far shorter amount of time than most. Started following them when Mendez Laing was started to get in the eyes of my national federation to represent us in international play. But have grown to love the club and the atmosphere that has become Derby once again. While never a big fan of the English football pyramid teams, I for once have found a team to root for aside from following said player.

I can remember in the 2008/09 season during their debut top flight campaign when Hull City got off to a flying start during the first half of the season and around about Christmas were occupying a European place but they then barely won a single game until the end of the season and just barely ended up surviving relegation it was an absolute crazy season for them

[@josephfreeman5614]

As a Hull City fan I was gutted when I saw the news. As a team we were making huge progress under Rosenior, and at a much faster pace than I think anyone would have thought. I can understand people complaining about the slow/patient, possession based tactics, but I also think a lot of fans forget how bad our defense is and that this style of play takes a lot of pressure off them. Also, fans point to the home form being poor, and I agree we did underperform at home, but we also massively overperformed away from home. I think it was 100% the wrong decision at the wrong time, but as a Hull fan I hope it works out alright and I am proven wrong. The owner has earned a lot of good will with the fans, so i'm reluctantly willing to let it play out.

The club's atmosphere and management might be unstable but the club is performing well in the grand scheme of things. It got to the Championship and got close to getting to the Premier League.

My club - Panathinaikos - has suffered a similar fate because of Acun's policies despite not being owned by him!

The owner of this channel owns Panathinaikos, too (and he is universally hated by the fans but that's another story) and he is Acun's close business partner and friend. In 26 December, while Panathinaikos was 3 points behind 1st place, he sacked coach Ivan Jovanovic, who despite his shortcomings was loved by the majority of fans. He was replaced by 70 year old Fatih Terim at the advice of Acun and he was soon followed by transfers mostly connected to Turkey. What followed has been a crazy mess, with Terim employing crazy tactics (using three center-forwards simultaneously with almost no midfielders, a right-back being employed at every position of midfield excluding his actual one, playing with the best defensive midfielder as a center-back despite having like 5 CBs at the squad, among others), erratically changing systems for no apparent reason. As a result, the team has been at times brilliant at times, but completely awful, too. Now, first place is lost, we are in a worse place in comparison to where we were in December and the fans are furious. The team had a good project before, but now it's all messed up and Acun has played his part despite not being actually involved in my club!

As a Fenerbahçe fan, unfortunately Acun's managing of the club sounds a lot like Ali Koç. Since his election in 2018, every season started with hiring a new manager and rebuilding the whole squad, with basically no success. Jorge Jesus was the first manager who stayed at the club for a full season last year. Most familiar sacking of a manager is Erol Bulut in 20/21 season, the team was still in the title race, but some "fans" wanted the manager gone because "the team wasn't playing like champions" and we were "only winning because of individual talent and set pieces". Reportedly, Ali Koç tried to force him to change his tactics, before sacking him with 10 weeks left in the league after a draw against Beşiktaş. One of the individual talents that were winning the matches for us was Pelkas btw, I wonder how Hull City fans rate him.

So you keep the ball, looking for an opening and playing percentages while taking as few risks as possible in positional terms in case you lose the ball and have to defend a transition. Hull doesn't currently have a back line you can leave one v one with lots of space in front of it.

With Walter every player gave 120% for the club and for the first time in what felt like forever we had a team on the pitch. He is a good manger and in my opinion we would be back in the Bundesliga if Vuskovic wasn’t accused of doping and Regensburg could have hold on to the lead against Heidenheim in last years seasons finale.

Good one, thank you. Rosenior should be on a lot of clubs' lists around now. All the best for him, for you and up the tigers

[@diomuda7903]

Will Acun's antics change? I don't think so. Since it is related to Erdogan, it basically is similar to how Putin used to finance Chelsea and Vitesse before using them to launch his war on Ukraine, or how Kazakhstan joined UEFA with their corrupt oil money despite gross human rights violation (which has been criticised by activists) and how Saudi and Qatar got away with it. Another typical case of autocratship. Feel hard for Hull however when Erdogan has some say on the club.

[@paulie-g]

You know Putin and Abramovich are not the same person and Abramovich, having robbed the Russian people, actually fled Russia and bought Chelsea as an insurance policy against prosecution by.. Putin's government. Putin doesn't need to use a money-losing British club to finance anything when Russia is a bigger economy than Britain. The war in Ukraine (on the Russian side) is actually financed by Britain and all the other countries that have implemented 'sanctions' on Russian exports, because they still buy them but now are doing so at inflated prices. Don't ask me why that was a good idea and whose competence you have to thank for both that fiasco and your utility bills.

We don’t need to talk about Danny Röhl. He hasn’t managed in Turkey at all and it’s widely known that he doesn’t like Tigers

[@nmarcus7233]

Haha the Hull ep had to come. Would be interested to see your take on the evolution of defending. Half the time I watch top players now I wonder how they'd find their way around a proper rugged defence that isn't afraid to tackle.

[@exzital6672]

obviously you dont live in hull but when do u go to games? Would love to meet u UTT🐯🐯🐯

All the best for next season Alfie, from a boro fan who appreciates our current Chairman.

[@nathanb286]

When I saw that they sacked Rosenior, I knew it was a matter of time before Alfie made another Hull City video

[@AnimePigeon]

Can you do a Video Covering the Winners of the Play-offs across League Two, League One, National League etc - going over the struggles, where they came from and how they achieved it? I'm a Bolton Fan - So obviously hoping we beat Oxford at Wembley. I think it would be a great video for you.

[@Tris2000]

I have twice bet on Hull being promoted because of your enthusiasm. Lol. I may do it again this summer. I don’t learn.

[@peterryan8472]

Excellent stuff Alfie. Argyle fans (like me) would chop off several limbs to have Liam at HP. I wish the Tigers well.

[@peterryan8472]

I forgot to say: what a stupendously stupid sacking.

[@alichiverton3930]

Don’t be sorry, we’ve been waiting patiently

[@Barisius]

Hull City fans, let me explain Acun Ilıcalı to you. There are two things in this world he adores more anything: money and Fenerbahçe. And he loves Fenerbahçe way more than money. He is willing to lose every money on the world to see Fenerbahçe successful. So, try to understand transfers like Sayyadmanesh or Tufan and transfers to come within this framework.

[@MatheusFernandes-xf4zm]

In fact, it's very common for clubs in lower divisions to rebuild the entire team every season.

[@Retro64_]

No it isn't? Unless you're taking about the national leagues as I have no idea how it works down there, most teams in the EFL and in the Prem do the usual buying and selling but unless you're in deep e.g. Morecombe currently or Derby a season or so back, a full rebuild is almost never wanted nor required and whilst it does happen, it's certainly not common.

[@luishernandezblonde]

Only in South America or in the African leagues. Not even close to lower divisions in top football countries.

[@grofbeton]

learning so much about football cubs from you !! Please made about ajax and as a starting reference you can use Lucas Moura Hattrick against ajax after!! that it was downhill for them , and that's a good thing

[@seandelap8587]

You look at Hull and you look at Burnley and while Hull is significantly larger in population Burnley has historically had a more successful football team and indeed have been crowned champions on 2 occasions in 1921 and 1962 and have had numerous spells in the top flight of English football while Hull City have almost spent its entire history in the lower echelons of the football pyramid is there any reason why this is the case

[@des8039]

Rugby league competition

[@ermfwp]

@@des8039 bit of a cliche answer but an element of truth in it. Probably more accurate back in the 70s/80s when both Hull RL teams were two of the biggest in the country

[@Ese96Agboaye]

There are some clubs in the WSl that are seemingly on the road to nowhere. Take Brighton for instance. They were promoted in 2018, but haven't achieved anything of note since.

[@nleak92]

Liam Rosenior getting the sack is beyond a joke. Hull have massively overperformed. We're unluckily because of the calibre of teams that got relegated last season. I do believe Hull would have kicked on next season had they kept him
