Hull City boss Ekun Ilicali has promised his players a trip to Las Vegas if they make the Premier League and has backed Ollie McBurnie to shine in Turkey if he ever gets there.
News report comments from Ilikali today. He is dreaming of seeing his team reach the top flight, and is promising big rewards if they do.
Hull City's Premier League dreams
Hull face Millwall in the play-off semi-final first leg at home on Friday, before the second leg at The Den next week. Then they will face Middlesbrough or Southampton in the final.
The Tigers entered the play-offs on the final day of the season as three clubs had a chance to secure the final spot on the day.
All three sides, Hull, Wrexham and Derby County, occupied the place at one point in the afternoon, but it was Ilicali's side who took victory thanks to victory over Norwich City. They had to fall behind by one goal to get all three points.
Now they can reach the Premier League. And Ilikali is planning a huge reward if his players manage it.
"If Hull City are promoted to the Premier League, I'm sending the whole team on a private plane to Las Vegas. That will be their reward," he said live on TV8.
Oli McBurnie's praise
There was also time for praise for Ollie McBurnie, the undoubted star of this current Hull City team. It was his two goals that ensured Norwich's victory and a place in the play-offs.
The 29-year-old has 17 goals and eight assists in 37 games in the Championship this season. This left him tied for second place in the top scorer chart with Hadji Wright and six behind Zhan Vipotnik.
However, Hull stars have more assists combined and a better goals per 90 ratio. Ilikali is a big fan, and is confident that he will shine in the Turkish Super Lig.
He said, "If Ollie McBurnie was at Fenerbahçe, he would not have scored less than 25 goals."
"Whoever comes in front of him he scores. His specialty is that if the ball comes to him he scores. Some of the goals he scores are not natural goals
