Hull Live reporting Smith has the clubs full backing.

Just been given the dreaded vote of confidence. Although no actual quotes from AP or Clark

Alick wanted to come but we offered him an absolute shambles of a deal….good old Clarky

It appears all our hopes are pinned on a bloke coming back of a major leg injury to save our season, again.

He’ll be like Carlos he will last about two games.

Don't get me wrong I really like Trueman but you've got to be mad to think his return is suddenly going to make our problems on the pitch disappear.

AP apparently turned down an offer to appear on sports talk yesterday, which is no real surprise as there's no passes to be sold currently.

I agree I really rate trueman, but I’ve got no real hope that he will come back and play every game.

Adam only speaks to us when he’s got something to shift, probably be a magic shirt due out soon.

Doesn't matter when he's back. Season will be finished

To be fair season was finished before we kicked a ball. Squad was always going to be bottom 3.

Is Tony getting a bit defensive?

All this talk of culture is fine but its very vague. We all get that improving this club will take time but everything that seems to come out the club is vague generalities so we've no idea what they are actually doing. So when we don't see any improvements on the field it seems like nothing is happening.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Not had a chance to listen to the podcast as yet (had been hoping to this evening but it will likely be tomorrow night now) but have read this article. He's right in that turning the culture around at the club is going to take time and not happen overnight. But it's not as if he's newly appointed. He's a season in now. There should be some outward signs at this point that the culture is improving slowly that we as fans can see each game out on the field. I think it's fair to say that no one is seeing that from the outside of the club. So it just sounds in similar vein to the old "we trained well all week" line we've heard for years. Meaningless if we're not seeing it on gameday. Which makes it very worrying when he says that the culture has improved a lot since he's been here.

Definitely sounds a bit defensive but maybe that's a good thing. Might be that he's showing some fighting spirit and that might rub off on the players.

Course he's getting defensive, he won't get another SL job if this doesnt turn round, and he's still only 57 and unless he's invested well probably can't just retire.

all this talk of culture and changing it,our current plight has nothing to do with it,the fact is most of the players we have now,just are not good enough.no flair,no leadership no guile.until we start signing some quality players and put them in the correct positions we will flounder.

If he was that good of a coach, he’d have at least improved our discipline but that’s arguably worse than when he took over.
