“THEY HAVE TO FIND NEW CLUBS!” SERGEJ JAKIROVIĆ PUBLICLY NAMES FOUR HULL CITY PLAYERS WHO NO LONGER FIT INTO HIS PLANS – TIGERS FANS SAY IT’S SAD!
Hull City supporters have been handed another worrying squad update after head coach Sergej Jakirović made it clear that several players could be forced to find new clubs after falling outside his immediate plans.
The development has attracted considerable attention among the Tigers faithful, particularly because some of the players involved have previously played important roles for the club.
The names attracting attention include David Akintola, Kieran Dowell, Abdulkadir Ömür and Cody Drameh.
Jakirović has been facing a difficult situation following Hull City’s extensive recruitment drive, which has significantly increased competition for places within the squad.
With the Premier League operating a 25-man senior squad registration limit, the manager has been forced to make some difficult decisions about which players can remain part of his plans.
And his comments have made it clear that not everybody will have a place.
JAKIROVIĆ SENDS CLEAR MESSAGE TO HULL CITY PLAYERS
Speaking about the situation, Jakirović admitted that the club needed to create room for its new arrivals.
He explained that having players who cannot be registered for the first-team squad would be a difficult situation for everyone involved.
The Hull boss did not hide his disappointment about the circumstances, acknowledging that some players would have to consider alternative opportunities.
He said:
“We must make room for all these new arrivals because unfortunately it’s a list of 25.”
He continued with a particularly concerning warning for those affected.
“For me it’s a disaster if you stay here and you are not registered. What will you do here?”
The manager then delivered an even stronger message:
“You will not play football for 100 years so you have to find a better solution.”
Those comments demonstrate just how seriously Jakirović is approaching the situation.
FOUR PLAYERS WHOSE FUTURES HAVE BECOME UNCERTAIN
David Akintola is among the players facing uncertainty.
The winger has previously experienced difficulties securing a consistent place in the first-team picture, and his registration situation has made his future particularly complicated.
Kieran Dowell is another name attracting attention.
The midfielder has struggled to establish himself as a regular member of the team, and the competition for places has made his situation increasingly difficult.
Abdulkadir Ömür has also been encouraged to consider his options.
The Turkish midfielder has had opportunities to demonstrate his qualities at Hull, but his position within the squad has become uncertain as the club continues reshaping its midfield.
Cody Drameh is another player who has featured in discussions surrounding the club’s squad restructuring. He has since completed a move to Genoa.
For the remaining players, finding the right opportunity could be important for their careers.
THE MANAGER ADMITS THE SITUATION IS DIFFICULT
Jakirović also acknowledged that the circumstances were not ideal for the players affected.
Having too many senior professionals competing for a limited number of registration places creates difficult decisions for any manager.
However, he insisted that the club had to respect the situation and make decisions that would benefit the overall squad.
The manager’s priority is to maintain a competitive group capable of meeting Hull City’s ambitions.
With several new arrivals expected to contribute, some established players have inevitably found themselves facing increased competition.
HULL CITY FANS WILL BE WATCHING CLOSELY
For supporters, the situation is particularly sad because these players have all been associated with the club’s journey.
Nobody wants to see footballers spending important months of their careers without opportunities to play.
Jakirović has made it clear that he would prefer affected players to find clubs where they can enjoy regular football rather than remain at Hull without being registered.
The coming transfer windows could therefore be important for the futures of those involved.
One thing is certain: Sergej Jakirović is determined to build a squad that fits his ambitions, and difficult decisions will continue to be made at the MKM Stadium.
