A few expressions I'm glad to not see on blueSky:

- True patriot
- Usual suspect
- Proud citizen

Basically, anything that RadioGenoa spaffs.

Confirm

He's only the most fun manager we (Hull City) ever had. Absolute champagne hedonism in our first half-season in the Premier League.

It's hardly surprising Ruben Selles is being linked with the #hcafc job.

After all, his name was all over a chain of chemists the length and breadth of Hull back in the day.

So. Listening to Humberside (from Rotterdam). Is it just me, or is Acun coming across as a bit of a knob.

Walter tells Swanny he had no input in the players that were signed, yet it was his job to revolutionise the way of playing.

#hcafc

I've just let my closest Hamburg colleagues, who berated his appointment, now see that I was wrong.

He seems a proper, decent bloke. Just the wrong time, the wrong job, the wrong climate. #hcafc

...that City might, somehow, be a different story. I honestly thought we had a cracker in summer. He seemed to fully embrace the city, enjoy the challenge, and seemed a fully affable bloke. I can't help but think Acun sold him a dud, probably on the back of what Liam did and had last season.

Same here, sad to say. I'm in the shipping industry, and as a result I'm in Hamburg, and deal with Hamburg ship owners routinely. As soon City appointed him, I was warned; waste of transfer money, unable to get out of Bundesliga 2. All from SV fans who know their mustard. Of course, I duly hoped...

...defence, and sod-all up front. Surely to God Acun must have an idea, someone available, able to work with what he's got (at least for the next few weeks), with the capability to bring together a fanbase back onside that - sadly - seems to have lost its love-in with him.

Hope dies last.

#hcafc

Question is; do we trust the owner to get his replacement right? I'm no Rosenior fanboy at all - he did well, but ultimately didn't achieve what was expected. And some of the football was turgid. Now, whoever comes in, just has the same to deal with; a squad with too many midfielders, a porous...

...and some of his decisions were indeed baffling. But when you're given a remit to essentially transform a club, with tools you're given as opposed selected yourself, how can an immediate transformation take place?

Wrong time, wrong place, wrong appointment, but there were mitigating factors.

I honestly feel for the fella. Recruitment was done during the summer without his input, he was tasked with implementing a entirely new playing culture/system. It was always going to be a bumpy road. Look at Slutsky; he got the chop, despite being asked the same.

He didn't help himself at times...

So that's it, is it? The old team on the scrapheap?

#hcafc

Yet still I look forward to getting back to Hull on Saturday.

#hcafc

And here we go again.

Paid for the City game, expecting nothing and assuming the worst.

Please, for the love of everything that's remotely Holy, give me something fun to put in my market report on Friday. That's right; I still have a paragraph devoted to Hull City.

#hcafc

I just want it to click. We can all see tantalising hints as to what could be, and (maybe blindly) I think it'll take the merest of breaks...but bloody hell.

*Gives City his credit card details so he can put his son through abject misery this evening*

#hcafc

NEXT UP; bloke goes to Luton and can't make head nor tail of anything.

It's afternoons like this I yearn for home, a nice pint, and a moan about City. And then a bath.

#hcafc

I'm not one for managers getting the boot at all...but.

Shota, Liam, Grant - they all got the boot for less. 'The bigger picture'. The bigger picture right now looks like the Mona Lisa after Just Stop Oil spaffed burnt sienna all over it.

This isn't working. #hcafc

"Not buying the City game...not buying the City game".

1545hrs here in Rotterdam. Bought the City game.

Son and I donned our white City shirts. City alright, and pressing in the first half. Until the goal. Then bollocks crab football since.

Literally done with this shite now. #hcafc

One more for you.

Isn't it lovely?

I thought I'd pressed on something, or liked something inadvertently to be buried in shit I had no interest in. Nope, seems everyone experienced the same.

Those horrible football girls, Trump/Musk shite, proper porn ending up on my timeline. Closed my account down.

I'm cleansed.

Bloody hell, Shezan! The restaurant that gave me my curry fixation when I was at Riley back in the day.
