Most Hull ity supporters will tell you that as soon as Allam dug in and threatened to sell the club there were a group of players Huddlestone, Davies, Meyler, Brady, McShane, and a few others who were going through the motions. There was a general feeling that if he sells who knows what will happen and this permeated to the players and was at times the players that were giving indications that they thought they could do better. In fact the notorious 'player power' were attempting to show Allam a thing or two and were not fighting for the cause. To his vast credit Bruce sorted them out in the whole and got them to rally around with a lot of high energy on the pitch. As witnessed against us at Goodison and yesterday.

We need a strong overhaul in the summer . I don't think kenwright will give Martinez many funds in January window so I think we may use the loans and free agents. If we can finish in the top 10 this season the by all accounts it's a decent enough session. Summer will be crucial though . Get rid of all the dead wood and replace
I know there's expectancy were Everton and we have a better team than last season. I think it's a terrible slump were our in at the moment given the calibre of player it shoudnt happen but that's football. But to say there's a mutiny I just can't see it by reactions of players and Roberto during the season.

I don't like Steve Bruce at all but he does give me an impression of being a nasty [Poor language removed] who won't think twice about getting a player to one side and tearing shreds of them and telling them in no uncertain terms if you don't try harder you are out the club. Could you see Martinez doing that....I couldnt !!
Osman is the hero we deserve, standing up to that bully distin and his bad eggs.

I don't really kniw what to think anymore. No matter what we think do you really think Kenwright will sack him and have to pay the compensation, I doubt it.
Kenwright will not sack him thats the problem everyone knows they are on easy street.
We need someone with bollox to sort the problems and sadly kenwright is not strong enough and as we know martinez is weak so the players are doing as they please

A lack of bollox runs through the club like p*ss through snow.

If results don't improve Kenwright will get rid of Martinez, he will lose financially if Everton go down and he will try to
stop that. I'll cast my vote after the West. Brom. Next week, that is a game which will define whether he stays or goes.

Not all mangers with the 'tearing them to shreds' attitude are always successful. Roy Keane for one. I could see Martinez pulling a player aside and saying you have to improve with that 5 yard ball you sloppily couldn't do, or you should work on your holding the ball up or you should work on your heading ability.
Would Martinez 'tear a shred off them'. He has not always been the Mr Nice guy some are painting him out to be who wouldn't have a go at the players. Martinez's Wigan could be a nasty bunch and kicked us off the park a few years back at their ground. Martinez himself when playing knew that he need to be protected by 'tough' players.
Bruce had no choice as it was a lot of players and the Hull were hurtling down. He made they face up to their responsibilities to him and the supporters. What we don't know is what is going on behind the scenes with Martinez and the players and how he approaches them and whether he is someone that yells at them or attempts to convince them.
For me what is certain is that established professional like Jags, Distin, Barry, Baines who are playing at the moment need to have a long hard look at themselves and ask are they doing everything they an for the cause. Similarly, with Howard, Ossie, Pienaar, Hiibert they should be asking what can we do and give their all for the cause.
I'm sorry but anyone who is wishing our manager was a bit more like steve bruce needs to have a quiet word with themselves.
I'd just like to point out that if you'd take a step back from your petty fume and kneejerking over four losses, Borussia Dortmund (yeah, that team that won the Bundesliga twice and reached the Champions League final two season ago, them) are still second last, in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga. They lost 2-1 to Werder Bremen last match.
It can always be worse.
