Tim Walter: Hull City boss ‘open’ to talk to unhappy fans


Hull City boss Tim Walter has said fans are welcome to talk to him about the team’s performances.

The Tigers are winless in their past six Championship games and some fans called for the German to leave after the 1-0 defeat at Oxford United on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old has so far won just three of 14 league matches since he took over in May after Liam Rosenior was sacked despite leading them to a seventh-placed finish.

“They have to talk to me. I am open for a conversation with them,” he told BBC Radio Humberside.

“It’s not about crying from the stands or writing situations on social media, I am open for them, we can talk to each other.

“I am open-minded and have the willingness to learn as well. We want the togetherness. We want to do it with them.”

The former Hamburg manager, who angered fans after questioning their lack of support in the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth last Saturday, believes that some of their unhappiness is because they are not used to his style of play.

Since arriving at the MKM Stadium, Walter has tried to instil a more methodical, possession-based style to open up opposition defences, with a focus on building from the back.

“They are welcome to see what we are doing all the time because it is different,” he added.

“It’s different to play possession instead of always trying to play transition.

“Transition is maybe more for the stands and entertainment but the other is to heighten your probability to win games.”
