Reading some of the complaints about Acun on here and I think some of you have forgotten what it was actually like under the Allams. Let me remind you.
They tried to rename the club Hull Tigers. Literally tried to erase City from the name. The fans had to campaign for years to stop it happening. The Football Association had to get involved. Can you imagine? An owner actively trying to destroy the identity of the club he's supposed to be running.
Then the boycotts started. Attendances dropped. The atmosphere at the ground became toxic. Ehab Allam was running the club into the ground while the fans were protesting outside. Season ticket renewals collapsed. The whole thing felt like the club was dying from the inside.
Players didn't want to come here. Managers couldn't work with the restrictions. We went from the Premier League and an FA Cup Final to a relegation battle in the Championship with a squad held together with sellotape and hope.
So yeah, Acun isn't perfect. The managerial changes are frustrating and the transfer embargo was embarrassing. But at least the man loves the club, invests in the squad, and wants to take us forward. After the Allams that feels like a miracle. Some of you need perspective.
