What’s even more reliable and occurs more often is his insistence on acting like his progressive woke views and ideologies are some sort of fact of the world and anything that contradicts it is evil and he has to make sure to make fun of anything or anyone remotely conservative like the indoctrinated child he is
Only one thing we look forward to more than a deep dive on the a 4th tier Ethiopian side with multiple tangents into African Geopolitics and the history of african colonization is Hull City updates. Never change Alfie
Seeing Liam Rosenior start pretty decently at Strasbourg must be the most painful thing ever for Hull City fans Crazy how Hull City are making BlueCo look intelligent
Honestly when he was sacked, I assumed he'd done an interview where he said he likes punching children for fun or something along those lines. I thought there was no way he'd been sacked for his performances, right?
As a Hull fan, I have a lot of love for Liam, but he just isn't that good of a manager. We were better than a 7th place finish with the squad we had he just had incredibly awful tactics.
As a City fan, the thing that makes me most upset is watching Walter set us up without a midfield. I think the loss of Seri stings nearly as badly as the loss of Liam.
When we eventually get pumped by Leeds and sack our 12th manager in 12 years. I think it's about time you did a video on Cardiff. Honestly, it's mental.
Resenior's sacking was crazy, I'm an Ipswich fan and he would have been on our radar during the Summer when there was talk of McKenna getting lured away. Greaves has started well too (sorry to rub that in)
@@jontalbot1I sort of get what you’re saying but they do have all rights to cry. Personally that’s not something I would’ve cried about but I myself have cried about football before like when my club was on the brink of destruction and the fans as well as other fans from up and down the country came to help us. Some of the chanting from that game could make anyone cry
What is it with teams sacking managers with them high up the table for a manager with a more attractive style? Can't think of a situation where it worked out.
More then likely its incompetent club leadership with no vision whatsoever of the clubs situation nor the a future plan. The "Agressive and offensive-minded playstyle" is a pretty way of saying "I dont like how you play even tho I dont understand football"; because its not like Rasenior was playing a Catenaccio at Hull
Rosenior was sacked due to our owner being bored during home matches as the style of play was boring and we were failry poor at home, as you can see from this video, that decision has worked so well for us 😉
I've literally only ever seen it happen with Birmingham and Hull. In most cases unattractive football can be tolerated or even appreciated if the results are good. The managers get sacked when the results can't defend them anymore. With how high the stakes are in top level football sacking a successful manager over his boring style is arrogant and careless, just asking for disaster
@@zosiazaremba7479 Definetely agree. My local football team played a very defensive style and had their most successful season ever. How my team plays is irrelevant as long as the results are there.
Can you do a weekly Hull update as a TH-cam short? I couldn’t really care less about Hull normally but for some reason I can’t get enough of these Hull videos! Love the content
This is by far the best video of yours I've EVER seen. I couldn't agree with you more. I am worried about our club and very disheartened and dejected with what's happened since May. I can't believe it. I look forward to your next video.
When Colombian youngster Gustavo Puerta secured a loan deal Hull City from Leverkusen, I, as a Colombian myself, was pretty excited. Although Leverkusen is an exciting team where he can develop, he had no game time last season, for obvious reasons. With Hull having respectable last season, I thought this could be it for him. Then, i learned about the circus that's happening there
Alfie I would love to hear about all of the things regarding Hull that you mentioned at the end of your video for which you didn’t have time for in this video! Such comprehensive in depth videos/ series are soo rare but really fascinating and you do such a great job!
I’m so glad Rosenior is doing well at Strasbourg, a much better club than Hull City (no offence). Hopefully he can make a push for Europe and make the Hull City board look like absolute numpties
As a german I can promise you that you will love Walter in a few months. Everybody hated him in germany for beeing over the top and completely crazy but they did love him at his club in hamburg. And thats not an easy club/city. He's the kind of guy that lives for the team he is coaching. Yes he is and will be stubborn in terms of his playing style but you will see improvements. Also: Mehlem is (if he stays fit) a bundesliga level player. I would have loved him at my club Bochum but even after 3 years of being back in the bundesliga we still have zero money :(
And everyone at Stuttgart thinks he is a clown for ignoring Wataru Endo, who would become club captain at Stuttgart later on. It’s fair to say that his sacking after just half a season was absolutely justified as he probably would have prevented Stuttgart from being promoted
@@boschvateras a Karlsruher I can assure you we feel the same. Walter is a clown that for some reason doesn't like us anymore despite nothing between the club and him ever happened and we actively promoted his career as a youth coach prior to him leaving.
As an HSV fan, I'm glad he's gone. He sticks to his system of play, is completely inflexible and talks up his football. If he lost a match, he always blamed the players and talked about individual mistakes. Yes - the football was attractive to watch under Walter, but it didn't lead to success. A good offence brings goals, a good defence brings the championship. He ignores that. The fans from Stuttgart and Kiel were also happy when he left the club. Both teams are now playing in the 1st division. HSV is now recovering from Walter's style of play, has a better defence and can finally play normal corners and score standard goals again. I hope that HSV will finally be promoted to the 1st division again.
Hull City isn't my favorite club, but can you please do the same thing for Everton in the next video? Should have deserved another update. They were a complete mess right now. 4 losses after 4 first games, the last 2 were more painful as they surrendered a 2-0 lead, and more recently, the disappointing exit in the EFL Cup against Southampton on penalties. Looks like an era is over for the Merseyside Blue in top-flight football.
I would say he is the best owner of a football club in England in the last 30 years, period. The stability and investment as a proper fan is second to none. If I ever hear Boro fans starting to chant Gibson Out, I will think of the Charlton fans who wanted Alan Curbishly sacked, and look what happened to them.
Tyler Morton was on the bench for Liverpool at the San Siro in the Champions League last night, and Fabio Carvalho was scoring 1 and assisting 2 for Brentford in the League Cup. When you lose that calibre of player from a championship squad, you're going to notice it.
*Before watching comment* im from hull but not 100% a suppoter as i follow my own team, i know i think differently to most hull fans around me but i feel if anyone is going to see and or understand the rhetocic i feel it will be alfie potts, ill be even happier if we align and you have found facts and figures i can use to help get my plint across in future, Before watching, i do believe rosienior would have done better with this current crop of players, BUT i also think tim walters would have done better with last years crop than rosienior did. I also think while the sacking was harsh i can speculate and understand a resoning, Last season come january hull were just inside the play offs, and hull had spent major money in the last couple of summers so must have been pushing the boundries of PSR, in january the chairman went to rosienior, rosienior said i need a better attacking force to get to the prem. The chairman said weve over spent this seasons budget already but ok, ill dip into next years, get into the play offs and that will recoup most of it and if it gets us to the prem then were laughing. So the chairman went out, brought in some mouthwatering players over that january, hulls championship squad by the end of the year looked very strong! But hull feel a placs from january and missed out on play offs completely, The chairman was in a position at the end of the season that he knew we were going to selling to recoup money and thats the current problem, we over spent trying to force it last year, the chairman blames the coach and if anything i do feel hes done well after losing so many players to get a team together that is currently somewhat competeing, i do think the team are moving up the pitch more positively, defense and finishing are the current problems, Right now to watch the video and see if alfie agrees 😂
I lived in Hamburg (Hull lad, though) for a while and therefore followed HSV. Every year (as you probably know) was an absolute disasterclass with catastrophic failures for several final days and end seasons in the 2. Bundesliga. Walter was the coach for many of those. So this always worried me that we were replacing Rosenior for him. I don't think Walter is a bad option, but I don't think he was the answer, personally. I hope it's just a case of transition and something will click. But generally, Ilicali's transfer business has been wild. The turnover has been crazy during each window, and so many have been misses. He's done great things for the club, but his approach worries me... UTT
Acun Ilicali bought my club Shelbourne in Ireland. He tried to sack our manager, Damien Duff at the end of last season and was immediately bought out as owner. He lasted a few months in control of the club. We're now top of the league.
Long shot I know can you do a What on Earth is going on video at Irish club Dundalk. Nearly became the first Irish club to reach the group stages of the UCL back in 2016 and were then unlucky not to qualify for the knockout stage of the UEL. Recently on the brink of liquidation and near certain to go into administration now during the 2010s they dominated Irish football and are the second most successful club in Ireland.
great idea, as a Welsh prem fan I always look at the league of Ireland and think that Welsh football should be like that. good luck to shamrock in Europe this season
Hull have no experienced head of recruitment? This would explain the signing of Chris Bedia. Union Berlin after being smart in the transfer market for years made some horrendous signings last season. Bedia was up there with the worst of them.
watched a bit of hull last year as bidace was a former villa player,, was really really impressed with rosenior,,, it was a mistake of birmingham city proportions to sack him,,, just crazy
Acun’s far too impulsive, even if the young signings come good I don’t have faith in him to not make the squad over on a whim again. It’s going to come down to whether he wises up and brings in football minds for the day to day operations or whether he gets bored, pulls funding, and runs back to his Turkish club first
Well, as someone who follows Hamburger SV quite closely, i could have exactly told you what Walterball means. It just takes a loong time of suffering until you get results and truly beautiful football. (And then HSV sacked him when it actually started working. Somewhat.)
Meanwhile my team Oxford have had a great start to the season, sitting in 7th, three wins & scored in every league game. Yes we signed a lot of players but looks like the recruitment so far has paid off. Here’s to the next 41 games, plenty of time to turn things around or keep momentum
Although this is is my absolute favourite football channel on TH-cam bar none, and I'm sure if I met Alfie in real life I would feel completely and utterly starstruck... ...as a Newcastle fan, I have to ask, what would Alfie do if the Saudis were to buy his beloved Hull City? I certainly wasn't sticking a tea towel to my head when we were taken over, it was more just a relief that Ashley had gone... which I feel very few external fans realise just how bad, negligent and sly he really was as an owner. Does that make him worse as a human being than the Saudis? Of course not. But it's very hard to walk away from your club, especially as there is a chance of some positivity after so many years of neglect and under performance. We watch our team to feel part of a community, feel the rush and adrenaline of a win and to be on a journey, more often than not without a say on who runs the club. I'm embarrassed at the Saudi dress up parade than Newcastle fans did, but I would be interested to know how many fans would actively boycott and leave their club if they were in similar plight as we were under Ashley and were offered a chance of avoiding that outcome under a sinister regime. Would Alfie ditch Hull City and support Humberside Juniors in the 11th north division? Perhaps he would; and he'd be a more moral man than me. I just notice this dig against Newcastle and sometimes their supporters popping up more and more regularly. Doesn't stop me loving the channel though! Keep up the good work!
Walterball in the English second league. You love to see it. No worries, he'll bounce back and you'll miss relegation by inches just as HSV did last 6 years.
Hey Alfie not sure if you look at leagues as low as national league but looking at York city's turnaround this season might be something to look at. If the performances stay as they are through the season
Sacking Liam Rosenior was dumb & arrogant. As were most of the signings foisted on him in January, the one signing we needed, a striker to replace Liam Delap we didn't get. Instead we got a past it Billy Sharpe, a winger we didn't need & a left back who still doesn't want to be here who was outplayed by a kid from the U21's. Sure we got Carvalho, great player & we had a superb season over all. When you consider it was pretty much a league one back four Rosenior did a remarkable job. Sure home form fell away but Tufan missed the penalty against Watford not him! We played some great stuff at times, Southampton hardly got a kick at their place, great games against Leicester & Ipswich all a good watch. Really building something & now we have nothing 👎 A clueless coach & a team going nowhere but down. They don't care, they're not buying it, he'll be gone soon. What a great shame.
You’re spot on with everything you’re saying, I don’t trust Acun as far as I can throw him but say one bad thing about the owner and everyone’s on your back.
As an Everton fan, I'd wish we would handle quicker with Dyche. Respected the man at Burnley and what he did last season, but we look terryfing in this season.
Another reason why Hull City were too good to be in League One but they weren't as good as they were in the Premier League. They still are a club who do like being in the Championship and they are thinking of trying to get promoted back to the Premier League but I think they'll remain in the Championship. And also they were known to be a "yoyo club" as well.
Money!!! I'm a Jack Army Fan and we Swansea fans understand exactly you feel!!! I'm also sure others have had to go through the same hardships! The fans need to make a noise,a loud noise so the owners understand what they are doing to their club! If you don't persist then they will continue to exploit you! A football fan👍!!!
Really disillusioned after the Rosenoir sacking. I thought we were following a long-term plan,and as for replacing Grant McCann with Shota don't get me started.
i still dont understand why Championship clubs not in the top spot but in the "midst" of a playoff spot suddenly spend money in January when it's more likely they'll waste money by not being promoted and are probably closes to a points deduction than a premier league spot
For readers unaware last Friday we were 1 nil down at Stoke at half-time. After bringing on Millar and Slater we scored three goals in 16 minutes and ended up winning 3-1 and shooting up the table to 13th. Next week we play Cardiff, who are currently bottom of the table, at home on our 120th anniversary. Onwards and upwards!!
ALFIE YOU BROUGHT US ON A JOURNEY TO HULL SO MANY TIMES I SWEAR TO GOD NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE MAKING A TRIP TO AN ACTUAL HULL OF A CRUISE SHIP. Also poor Alfie suffering slow descent to insanity looking at how Hull City has always been (mis)managed.
So Hull City are like Manchester United when only Ed Woodward and The Glazers were in charge. I feel sorry for ya. Though I'm so thankful we have INEOS at the helm now and will slowly keep improving season on season instead of everything being all haywire
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 678) Alternativly you could do "Best German players who played outside the Bundesliga" or something like that if you prefer. I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I still to this day can't wrap my head around them firing Rosenior, has to go down as one of the all time worst decisions in football history. I genuinely fear for our championship survival this season.
I was in denial when I first heard the news. Talksport first broke it I was like ‘yeah but it’s talksport when do they get things right, why would we sack rosenior’ then sky broke the news I was like ‘now they’ve fallen for it, such idiots’ then the club statement came out. I felt bad for 1904 club as there was a fans forum that night and of course all anyone would talk about was what a terrible decision sacking arguably the best manager we’ve had since Bruce. (I’d make the argument he’s better than Bruce as Bruce had a better squad and a bigger budget, I’m sure if rosenior was given time he would have had similar success).
Acun wants to try different manager and player combinations to see the results. In the grand scheme of things the club has been progressing well. They did manage to get promoted, increase their revenues and attendance, and the only thing left is the Premier League.
Philogene, Morton and Carvalho were excellent last season. Not having them this season was always going to leave a gaping hole in the quality of the squad.
Petition to rename these vids " What the Hull is going on?"
Actually surprised Alfie didn’t think of that first! 😁
🤣🤣🤣 that's awesome
Fun fact: Hull in Estonian means crazy

I’m an American who barely follows the Championship. Thanks to Alfie I can wax eloquently about the trials and tribulations of Hull City.
It's that time of the year once again.
It’s that time of year twice again 🐅 🐅
Thanks Alfie, hearing about Hull makes me feel better about my own club
This is my favorite series. Not the What the hell is going on at X in general, but the What the hell is going on at Hull City specifically. 🍿
Why bring up X ?

Sicko's uniting to learn what is happening in the Championship and Hull City and Alfie suffering. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
the underlying problem is that Acun is now the spokesperson and board member of Fenerbahçe and Hull City is no longer a priority for him.
Your channel is simply the best. Keep it up Alfie
As a Hull City liker and not supporter I very much enjoy these updates, please keep them coming!
Can you do a weekly Hull update as a TH-cam short? I couldn’t really care less about Hull normally but for some reason I can’t get enough of these Hull videos! Love the content

Haven’t a clue about Hull but I always watch ALFIE! Hello from Las Vegas
How is this possible, if you always watch Alfie you should be a hull city expert with his bi monthly in depth updates
Just reinforces how lucky my club (Middlesbrough) is to have Steve Gibson as chairman and owner.
I would say he is the best owner of a football club in England in the last 30 years, period. The stability and investment as a proper fan is second to none.

It’s going to come down to whether he wises up and brings in football minds for the day to day operations or whether he gets bored, pulls funding, and runs back to his Turkish club first
TBF Hull are a work in progress at the moment. They have made many changes and need some time to gel. We need to give Hull city time.
I love that I'm subscribed to the best Hull City fan channel on YT!
Well, as someone who follows Hamburger SV quite closely, i could have exactly told you what Walterball means. It just takes a loong time of suffering until you get results and truly beautiful football. (And then HSV sacked him when it actually started working. Somewhat.)
Meanwhile my team Oxford have had a great start to the season, sitting in 7th, three wins & scored in every league game. Yes we signed a lot of players but looks like the recruitment so far has paid off. Here’s to the next 41 games, plenty of time to turn things around or keep momentum
Although this is is my absolute favourite football channel on TH-cam bar none, and I'm sure if I met Alfie in real life I would feel completely and utterly starstruck...
...as a Newcastle fan, I have to ask, what would Alfie do if the Saudis were to buy his beloved Hull City? I certainly wasn't sticking a tea towel to my head when we were taken over, it was more just a relief that Ashley had gone... which I feel very few external fans realise just how bad, negligent and sly he really was as an owner.
Does that make him worse as a human being than the Saudis? Of course not. But it's very hard to walk away from your club, especially as there is a chance of some positivity after so many years of neglect and under performance.
We watch our team to feel part of a community, feel the rush and adrenaline of a win and to be on a journey, more often than not without a say on who runs the club.
I'm embarrassed at the Saudi dress up parade than Newcastle fans did, but I would be interested to know how many fans would actively boycott and leave their club if they were in similar plight as we were under Ashley and were offered a chance of avoiding that outcome under a sinister regime.
Would Alfie ditch Hull City and support Humberside Juniors in the 11th north division? Perhaps he would; and he'd be a more moral man than me. I just notice this dig against Newcastle and sometimes their supporters popping up more and more regularly.
Doesn't stop me loving the channel though! Keep up the good work!
Walterball in the English second league. You love to see it. No worries, he'll bounce back and you'll miss relegation by inches just as HSV did last 6 years.
Hey Alfie not sure if you look at leagues as low as national league but looking at York city's turnaround this season might be something to look at.
If the performances stay as they are through the season
Sacking Liam Rosenior was dumb & arrogant. As were most of the signings foisted on him in January, the one signing we needed, a striker to replace Liam Delap we didn't get. Instead we got a past it Billy Sharpe, a winger we didn't need & a left back who still doesn't want to be here who was outplayed by a kid from the U21's. Sure we got Carvalho, great player & we had a superb season over all. When you consider it was pretty much a league one back four Rosenior did a remarkable job. Sure home form fell away but Tufan missed the penalty against Watford not him!
We played some great stuff at times, Southampton hardly got a kick at their place, great games against Leicester & Ipswich all a good watch.
Really building something & now we have nothing 👎 A clueless coach & a team going nowhere but down. They don't care, they're not buying it, he'll be gone soon. What a great shame.
Hi Alfie, please do a video about the chances of Celtic getting top 8 automatic qualification after seeing the CL draw.
You’re spot on with everything you’re saying, I don’t trust Acun as far as I can throw him but say one bad thing about the owner and everyone’s on your back.
As an Everton fan, I'd wish we would handle quicker with Dyche. Respected the man at Burnley and what he did last season, but we look terryfing in this season.
Never a dull moment at Hull! 😆
WHEN IS IT GOING TO END ROBBIE 😭
Look forward to you playing at fratton Park this season lol. Good luck this season
Great update alfie, been a hull city fan for 50 years,
The best striker weve had was keith edwards ,
We could do with him in his prime
Another reason why Hull City were too good to be in League One but they weren't as good as they were in the Premier League. They still are a club who do like being in the Championship and they are thinking of trying to get promoted back to the Premier League but I think they'll remain in the Championship. And also they were known to be a "yoyo club" as well.
Hull City to win the champions league. Here. We. Go.
Oh, the annual video! We all love it! 🙂
Money!!! I'm a Jack Army Fan and we Swansea fans understand exactly you feel!!! I'm also sure others have had to go through the same hardships! The fans need to make a noise,a loud noise so the owners understand what they are doing to their club! If you don't persist then they will continue to exploit you!
A football fan👍!!!
Really disillusioned after the Rosenoir sacking. I thought we were following a long-term plan,and as for replacing Grant McCann with Shota don't get me started.
i still dont understand why Championship clubs not in the top spot but in the "midst" of a playoff spot suddenly spend money in January when it's more likely they'll waste money by not being promoted and are probably closes to a points deduction than a premier league spot
How's rugby league going on in Hull? Are casual fans switching to that when Hull City are doing this poor?
the start is not me, I am just glad you posted
Good video Alfie
As a Hull city fan from Mexico this is the kind of journalism I need
Referenced Kitchen Nightmares - exclusively used footage from Hells Kitchen.
My boy is slipping.
Cant wrap my head around Liam Rosenior is old enough to be a manager.......
Alfie! Shouldn't that be "What on earth is going on at 'ull City?"
What on earth is going on in AS Roma
For readers unaware last Friday we were 1 nil down at Stoke at half-time. After bringing on Millar and Slater we scored three goals in 16 minutes and ended up winning 3-1 and shooting up the table to 13th. Next week we play Cardiff, who are currently bottom of the table, at home on our 120th anniversary. Onwards and upwards!!
ALFIE YOU BROUGHT US ON A JOURNEY TO HULL SO MANY TIMES I SWEAR TO GOD NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE MAKING A TRIP TO AN ACTUAL HULL OF A CRUISE SHIP.
Also poor Alfie suffering slow descent to insanity looking at how Hull City has always been (mis)managed.
So Hull City are like Manchester United when only Ed Woodward and The Glazers were in charge. I feel sorry for ya. Though I'm so thankful we have INEOS at the helm now and will slowly keep improving season on season instead of everything being all haywire
29:13 - 29:21 Actually made me spit take from laughter! A proper 'Its fine, I'm fine!' GIF moment right there!
These videos are becoming a stark reminder of how much quick time is going 😭
Oh I've been waiting for this one! Though I was sure it'll come mid season
Thanks for the Dull City update. Now back to the hits.
I personally felt Giles was overrated when I watched him play for Luton, does okay attacking, but terrible defensively.
love the hull city content
I literally just watched the last update yesterday Alfie
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 678)
Alternativly you could do "Best German players who played outside the Bundesliga" or something like that if you prefer.
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I really hope he makes that video oney day, just for you.
I still to this day can't wrap my head around them firing Rosenior, has to go down as one of the all time worst decisions in football history. I genuinely fear for our championship survival this season.
I was in denial when I first heard the news. Talksport first broke it I was like ‘yeah but it’s talksport when do they get things right, why would we sack rosenior’ then sky broke the news I was like ‘now they’ve fallen for it, such idiots’ then the club statement came out. I felt bad for 1904 club as there was a fans forum that night and of course all anyone would talk about was what a terrible decision sacking arguably the best manager we’ve had since Bruce. (I’d make the argument he’s better than Bruce as Bruce had a better squad and a bigger budget, I’m sure if rosenior was given time he would have had similar success).
We are 5 games into the season, chill.
2:40 That's 3 seasons ago Alfie-
Acun wants to try different manager and player combinations to see the results. In the grand scheme of things the club has been progressing well. They did manage to get promoted, increase their revenues and attendance, and the only thing left is the Premier League.
That intro was gold
This is the 4th one I’ve watched Alfie, when will they get their shit together
Philogene, Morton and Carvalho were excellent last season. Not having them this season was always going to leave a gaping hole in the quality of the squad.
